women 5'5 goal weight?

dalgraham

Hi! Just wondering what your goal weight is? Right now I'm aiming for 125-130 but might go lower once I get there.

ChiaGnome

I'm 5'5". I've always been very overweight (don't make me say obese!), so my goal is a healthy BMI of 145 lbs. I'll fine tune when I get closer.

Im 175 now and my goal right now is to make it to 150. When I get there ill adjust.

I set it for 125, but I really am focused on body fat rather than weight. I figure when I get under 130, I'll see where I am and decide whether I need to eat more for a while and focus on building muscel or whether I think it would be better to keep going down to around 125.

i am currently 167..my goal is 130 (or less!)

Thank you for your responses! I like to know that people have similar goals to mine. It seems impossible sometimes. Anyways I wish you all the best of luck on your journey

I started at 181 lbs with my original goal being 160 lbs. I keep pushing down my goal and am 143lbs currently. I am contemplating 130 lbs right now as it is in the middle range of a healthy BMI. With my build, I am not sure I will go much below that but whenever I get to where I feel this is "it", I will stop, whether that is before 130 lbs or below 130 lbs. Just taking it as it comes in this new adventure. :-)

im a bit over 5'5 and 137 now...I would like to lose 5 pounds of fat and tone up some more....so 133 or so would be great! I really should be less as im small boned, but not sure I could maintain less then that....im basically maintaining now

I'm a little over 5'5" and I'm at 135 right now. My goal weight was 120 but that changed after I started lifting weights. Now I don't really pay attention to the number.

I'm currently 138, and I was 152.2 when I started. My goal is 115, but I might stop at 120 if I like what I see. Haven't been 120 for years. It would be great to get back to that.

dalgraham

I am currently 140, and I've been 115 before. It was very hard to maintain so I feel like 125 would be a good spot for me. However, I've never had to lose 15 pounds and it just seems impossible. My motivation in lacking.

I started at 212 about 10 years ago. I lost 50 to get to 162, and I was perfectly happy with that to be honest for many years. After regaining about 5, I decided to go for another loss. I set my goal weight to 148 (with the plan to never go over 150 again). Then I hit that, and reset to 137. Now I'm at 143.5 and plan to go to at least 133. I used to think it would be absolutely crazy/impossible for me to get into the 120s. But I've seen so many people here on MFP do it that now I am actually thinking I might shoot for the 120s with the life goal of never going over 130 -- this was really unimaginable just four months ago, but now it's "only" 15 pounds away!

dalgraham

wow! I can't believe you've lost that much weight! How do you stay motivated? (and congratulations! What a huge accomplishment!)

I would be happy if I was anywhere in between 120-125.

I'm currently set for 140, knowing that as I go into maintenance I'll probably put back on 5 or so (glycogen/water and such) - I'd be perfectly happy at 145-150. I know that's a little high for some people, but I like how I look at that weight (heck, I liked how I looked at 160 before I had kids), so as long as I'm healthy (which I should be) then that's good enough for me. However, if I get there and decide I want to go for a little more...no biggie, I just keep going. I figure as I get down towards 150 or so I'll see how I look/feel and go from there.

The nice thing about weight loss is that you don't need to decide on a goal weight and stick to it. Go by the mirror and how your clothes fit and your fitness level - the scale is just one tool to measure progress and shouldn't be the sole basis for your ultimate goal.

I'm 5'6, and used to be 110 pounds......looking back that was too small. Now, I'm 165, which is too big. 145 sounds ideal, but I might be happy with 150 if my belly shrinks enough.....I'm at the age where it's OK to keep a little pudge.....

Aelyssa1989

I'm 5-5 150lb, and my goal is 125. I've always been 130+, so it's going to be exciting seeing if I can reach and maintain 125. Not overly concerned about what the scale says, but more how my clothes fit. Would like to reach a 24-26" jean size.

janicelo1971

I'm a little over 5'5" and I'm at 135 right now. My goal weight was 120 but that changed after I started lifting weights. Now I don't really pay attention to the number.

whow...this just goes to show the scale mean nothing!! You look amazing and VERY tone and we are about the same height/weight and I look NOTHING like you!! OK..i need to get this bowl full of jelly back to my crossfit and add some heavy weights into this process....Thanks for sharing!

sweetpea129

I'm 5'5. My goal is about 140. 10 more to go!

LGS1974

I'm 5' 5 1/4" and my goal is 150lbs.

qtgonewild

between 178-153. i have no idea just yet because ive never even been close to that weight. i have no idea what will be best for my body. but i will find out.

Phoenix_Warrior

I'm 5'5'' and my goal weight is 125 lbs. I'm 10 away. It was the weight I was in high school and where I was most comfortable.

HKHAN1982

I'm 5"4 and finally made it out of the 160's after almost 6 months of fluctuating 2-4 lbs. I'm 159 and my goal weight is 145 (last time I was 145 was in 2008 before I got pregnant with my 2nd son). I used to be in the 120's before I had kids but I wasn't eating right or excercising right so I know that was too low for me to maintain (haven't been that weight in almost 10 yrs!). I have a goal of losing weight by New Year's..have lost almost 4 lbs in 5 weeks so I'm losing about 1 lb a week. Just need to continue and I can be at prob 150 by New Year's and then I'll just have 5 left to hit my goal weight

cookiealbright

My total goal is 156. I'm at 173 right now down from 191. I've hung out at 174 -175 for a couple months because I feel better. Clothes are fitting better and some are even too big. But when I see myself in pictures, I'm still too big so my mini goal is 164. Then I'll see how it goes. Good luck to ya! :flowerforyou:

Terran1976

I started a year ago at 235 (my heaviest ever). Joined MFP at 212 pounds about two months ago and now I'm at 190. I haven't been 140 since middle school so I figured I'd shoot for that. I have mini goals for myself and I'll reevaluate how I look/feel at each one.

glitzy196

i'm 5'5" my first goal is 150..and then i will see how i feel. my lowest weight before kids was 158, and i could fit a 6/8 and was pretty happy with my body. however if this comes off easy enough i might set different goals with 135 probably being the lowest . I will be more concerned with look than actual weight at that point.

I set it for 125, but I really am focused on body fat rather than weight. I figure when I get under 130, I'll see where I am and decide whether I need to eat more for a while and focus on building muscel or whether I think it would be better to keep going down to around 125.

^ this, same for me

ingeh

Well Im 5""5 and was hoping to get to 120lbs as my lowest weight as an adult was 137lbs and I was happy then, Im 139lbs now and want to get nearer to the lower end of a healthy bmi then nearer to the high end if you see what I mean. Il see how I feel at 130lbs though as Im pretty happy with myself now and just want to lose a dress size (go from a uk 10 to a uk 8 hopefully) cardio and kettlebell workouts are helping with that goal!

TX_Rhon

I'm 162 now. (from 200+) Setting my goal at 150.

Danni3ll3

I am part of the 5'5" club too. I started at 190 and my first goal was 144. I then dropped it to 135 and now 130. I will see once I get to 130 if I want to go lower or not. I might since I am at 133.8 now and still have a fair bit of fat on my abs. We will see.
