I hear that sister. I'm 43, 5'2 and currently 152. I cannot seem to lose one goo damn pound no matter what I do - tried cutting out all sweets, alcohol, heavy lifting, you name it. My body is clinging to this fat for dear life. I'm just about to give up.

36 and 140. I look best at 129-133! Just signed up for a 5K for some motivation.

But I think about 115 is a perfect weight for a 5,3 person.

5,2 here & 90 pounds, been the same for 20 yrs

Oh, and I'm 39.

125 and a size 4. I carry my weight in my legs.

112

122

I'm 35 and about that height, possibly a quarter or half inch shorter.

Right now I'm 138. My lowest adult weight was about 117-121 when I was a size 2/4 and looked fabulous. Would LOVE to be back there! I have the tiniest bone structure--tiny wrists, ankles, and knees, narrow shoulders and hips, but i have the thickest waist. Even when I was skinny my waist was about 29 inches. Multiple miscarriages, less dedication to exercise, poor emotional eating has gotten me way up and I need to lose it!

Thanks to whoever started this discussion, sincerely. I needed something to remind me of what is possible, what I used to be, and that I can go workout after work right now to get this started again!!!!

Same height and same weight. Three years older. 34-26-35. My weight is in my thighs.

It baffles me how we can all be the same height and around the same weight and have such different measurements. I'm 124 and am 32-27-35. Late 20s; work out most days, primarily cardio. I also have massive thighs, though.
