    I am 5'6". My goal was 155, but I am at 153 now so I might go for 150, but I would be happy to stay where I am.

    im around 5'6 5'7 and my GOAL weight has always been 130. I would love to hit that number. im around 150-154 now and trying to get back to my previous weight of 140, and that was a pretty good weight for me. I felt good at that weight But once I get back there, Im trying for 130. Hopefully with a little dedication and patience, ill get there!

    I'm just under 5' 6.5". I'm shooting for an initial goal weight of 160 and then I'll reassess when I get there. In high school I weighed 138 and looked like a twig with boobs. :blushing:

    I'm 5'7" and my goal is 160...before I had my son, I dropped from 210-215lbs down to 155 and that was the lightest I'd ever been, but I'm not sure if it was realistic to maintain that weight for me now - before I became a mom I could go out and run for 2 hours and lived off of grilled chicken salads and smoothies :) - now, that's just not going to happen!!!
    I'm 14 lbs away from my goal and it's the hardest 14 lbs to lose EVER!!! (or it just feels that way!!!)
    For my frame I think 160-165 is perfect. Mostly, I want to feel healthy. The number on the scale is just a bonus!!!

    I'm 5'6", medium frame. I weighed around 125 at 18 (very slender and fit from gym class and farm chores), matured to about 135 in college. I gained up to 165, then worked it off running in my late 20's back to a very fit 135-140, until I had my kids in my early 30's. I've been battling or ignoring my weight since then. I set my current goal at 150, which is comfortably inside the desired BMI. I'd love to get back to 140-145.

    i am 5"6
    and the lowest weight i have been was 130. no matter how much i worked out in a day or anything i tried, i couldnt get lower then that

    my goal is 140. the stress of trying to maintain 130 was horrible! working out 2 hrs or more a day, counting every tinny calorie, cutting out everything i could think of (that was bad).

    i would be much happier at 140 :]

    I'm 5 '6.5", and I look and feel best around 126, but it's real hard for me to get there and maintain that. Usu. my body wants to settle b/t 130-135, but I'm hoping that by using MFP now, and increasing my strength training, that I'll not only get to that weight, that I'll be healthier and more muscular/tone, not just thin.

    I am just about 5'6 or a bit under. My goal weight is 130, and I hope I can reach it. It has been a while since I have been anywhere near that. Many years ago I was comfortable at 120-125 and was very fit, but I am smaller boned. I'd say I wore a size 11 when I weighed about 145-155.

    I'm also, 5'7", small to medium frame, I'm currently 165 lbs, but my long-term goal is 135-140 lbs too. It's hard, but not impossible.
