    i'm just shy of 5'5. my most comfortable weight is around 128, with good muscle tone. my current is closer to 140. put on the worst kind of weight..the belly fat. it's all in my mid section! so it's been tough to see results right away. working hard.

    I am new to posting here but found your question interesting and it got me thinking about my goal weight. Great to see so many have done so well with their weight loss, :heart: those tickers - gotta get me one of those! I am 5'4',' currently 172lbs was 181, according to BMI guide I should be between 107 - 145 lbs, I think 107 sounds very low I am aiming for 150/140 and will reassess when/if I ever get there. I am stuck which is why I have come back to MFP to track again to see where I am going wrong!

    I'm shorter than all of you, but my mom is 5'4" with a very slender frame (33" hips or something like that) and was healthy at 109 lbs for much of her life, until menopause, which caused her to lose weight! She's muscular but very light indeed now, although she is very healthy and eats a LOT.

    I think good-looking weights vary greatly by one's frame size and muscle mass.

    I am on a diet and exercise plan. I am 5'5". My goal is 150. I think being thinner than that you run the chance of looking sickly. However, if you are young, (I am 41) your skin and body should respond to more weight loss.

    I would like to say most women want to be thinner than that but if you line up a woman with a few extra pounds in just the right places and a very skinny girl, they will always pick the one with the curves! Men love curves! not bones!

    I think its rude to say people who weigh less run the risk of looking sickly. Americans have lost touch with that a normal size is.

    Underweight = <18.5
    Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
    Overweight = 25–29.9

    BMI for a woman who is 5'5" is 25 is over weight, Just barely but it is. My insurance company raises its premiums $300 a year on anyone who falls into the category over weight.

    I am also 41

    weight 128 BMI 21.3 <
    Not sickly

    and who the hell cares about what men like. This is about health and really there are men out there that like all types

    My goal weight right now is 125. I'm comfortable at my weight right now (~140) but I think an extra -15 would be healthier. I'm also much more muscular now so I'm not looking to much lower than 125

    110lbs for me, maybe a little more if it looks a bit too thin. I'm 5 ft 5, pear shaped with a round face, so, yeah..

    110 is underweight for your height. Maybe you should talk to a therapist.

    I am a hippy 5'5". At my heaviest I weighed 199 pounds. My goal is to lose 50 pounds, so my goal weight is 149. I am 47 so it is not as easy as it was when I had my babies back when I was a baby.

    Thanks for starting this thread. I have enjoyed reading all of the posts.

    I'm 5'5 and a half and my goal weight is 135 because that's the lowest I remember ever being. I have more of a muscular build so I don't think I can get much skinnier than that, but we'll see when I get there!

    at 5'5" when i was healthy i was 136. i was squishy but had good curves and felt very comfortable with my appearance. = )
    unfortunately due to stress and not eating right im down at 107 lbs. i want me squishy back!!! But also its whatever you feel comfortable with.. try making a goal for 150-160 and see how you feel.. adjust then to lower or mantaining it. good luck!

    I have forgotten what being anything less than 180 is. Well above this at the moment and in adulthood have never been below 150.... Going for 160 at the moment

    I'm about 5'5 and I'm aiming to reach 130lbs. I've been underweight my whole life and I really want to change.
