    5'6" and trying to get to 135. That's the best I've ever been and that was with serious muscle weight on me. I could leg press 1.5 times my weight and bench press half my weight. Boy, I looked good then. Not sure I can get back to that as I'm now in the post-menopausal, over 50 catagory with all its attendant problems of slowing metabolism, but I'm trying.

    Hi! I am 5'6", It is said that Anywhere from 130 - 140 is ideal for our height. Plus you have to take into consideration bone structure.
    I am not small boned, but neither am I large boned. My goal is 130. I am trying to get to 127, just because that is what I weighed when I got married!! but I've had 4 children and 1 on the way so I don't know if 127 will ever be possible.
    When you get to a weight were you are comfortable with yourself, then you have reached your goal!! Good luck!!

    I'm 5'5.5", is that close enough? :tongue:

    Currently, my goal is 130 pounds, but my main goal is single digit pant sizes (American). When I start heavy weight training this summer, the scale number isn't going to matter a whole bunch anymore.

    I'm 5' 6" and my goal weight is 140lbs. I once got down to 133lbs but everyone kept saying how thin I looked. I'll wait and see how I feel once i get there...

    I'm just under 5'6'' and my lowest adult weight was 125. At that weight, I was really skinny on top, but still looked overweight on my thighs and tummy. That was 20 years ago! I'll probably need to shoot for 120 now that I'm older because I've probably lost muscle mass. Every body is so different, though. Someone 5'6" and 150 may look trimmer than I did at 125.

    I am (maybe a little over), and my first goal is 175. I have a medium frame I think...but I'm pretty sure I'm pumping my goal to 155 once I reach 175, it just depends how comfortable I feel ! :)

    I'm 5'5", and my ultimate goal is 135. I've been as low as 116 (looked horrible), and as high as over 220 when pregnant! I think I looked best at 130-135, so that's where I'd like to be. :) Since having kids, the lowest I have been able to get is 140ish, but I would love to be in the 130's again!

    Hi,
    I'm 5'6" and my current weight is 138. I began my weight loss journey at 197. At my lowest (about three years ago), I weight 125, but it was too light for me. I regained 22, and have lost 8-12 of that (depending on the day). I have been ranging between 135-140 for the better part of a year. I'd like to range between 130-135. HOWEVER, I am content and happy anytime the scale is under 140....and for that reason, I'm taking Easter weekend off from watching what I eat so closely (I am still getting at least three miles in walking each day). Will get back to watching what I eat on Monday.

    I'm 5'6 my goal weight is 154, then I'll see. I've been below 140 and felt and looked great but that was 10 years ago and I think 154 is more realistic for my age now!
