I know how that is! I try to focus on getting to a place where I'm love my body, and feel great, even if the numbers on the scale don't say what I think they should. Right now I'm 115 (5'5") and I keep thinking I want to be 110, but I also think it might be better to gain weight, as long as it means more muscle not fat!

I'm 5'5 and my goal was 110lbs but after reading a lot of these posts I'm thinking that may be too low.

Bump! I'd say 130 for me. I'm about 155 right now.

I want to be 150. I have been 135 before and felt it was almost too thin for me. 140 and defined looked awesome and I feel comfortable up to about 155. However, I feel that it's too hard for me to maintain 140-135, even with lots of exercise, so I'd rather weigh a little more. When I was 135, I starved myself, exercised compulsively, took pills, and purged to get there, and I never want to go back to that.

I'm 5'5" and my goal is 135. I reached that in 2007 and it was a good weight for my frame. Unfortunately, I'm now 164, so I've got to lose the 30 lbs again.

It is said that an ideal weight for someone is to add 5 lbs for every inch you are over 5 foot. That said, ideally a good weight for someone of 5'5 would be 125. However, there are many factors such as your age, muscle mass, etc. If I were you, I would shoot for something near there by following the BMI charts. You can Google what your ideal weight should be for your height and age and someone use it as a guide. However, it is a bit misleading, because two people can weigh the same and be the same height but one will look thinner and have less fat, bc they have more muscle. But I would shoot for that (maybe a higher number) and then look at what you look like. If you feel healthy and good, then stay there, if not then set a new goal.

I am only 5'3 3/4 so 5'4 I guess I should say. I have been many weights from 177 - 108. I know I look best at 120. Too much less and I look sort of too thin and it doesn't feel right. When I am in my 130s my butt is too big and clothes don't fit as well, I guess it is how I am proportioned.

Just keep losing until you like what you see and you feel good. If you're able to maintain a certain weight once you get down, your body may be talking to you and telling you, "this is just right".

Would also depend on your muscle tone, my lowest was 63kg (10 stone) whilst kickboxing, trained hard and ate minimal trying to get to a lower weight class but muscle didnt budge.

I'm normally around 125 these days and it is the perfect weight for me (5'5) as I don't look *too* thin but am certainly slim and healthy looking!

I started at 172# and am now at 111. I like right where I'm at. My original goal was 130, then 125.

Nola4

I am 5ft 5 and currently weigh 196... My first goal to get down to 160 and then go from there...keep in in I am all belly fat.

It is entirely do-able. I easily got from 155 to 134 on Weight Watchers a few years ago. It took exactly 12 weeks.

However, I didn't exercise at all so I was still wasn't happy with my body. That disappointment led to me gaining it all back plus 10 more.

This round I am weight lifitng. I am not as weight focussed, but I am thinking of a goal in the range of 145-150.

I've recently discovered I'm 5"5 after thinking for years I was 5"6!!!! I'm still in denial!!!!!

I'm currently 190 and aiming for 150lb....ultimately I want to be a UK size 12, but I never have, not in all my adult life, so we'll see.

I am 5'6' and i weigh 134 or so, have a medium bone structure, and a decent amount of muscle, So you will know what weight feels good when you get there.

Drewillbeback111

I was thinking between 330 and 335lbs. Havent a clue what someone with his height and weight would look like though.. Tried to google it but couldnt find a thing! I have 8 months - i am currently 152lbs and hope to get to my goal within 8 months. Do you think this is possible? x

I bet you really meant 130 to 135?
