5 ft 5 - what is your goal weight?

mags1983

I was 166 when I started on this. I am now 131. I seem to vary between 126-132 but I am happy with that! xx

i'm 5'5" and im looking to get down to 135, although I've never actually seen my body at this height and weight

I'm about 5'6'', and I was that weight in high school. I'm a classic pear so I'm very thing on top, even at the weight I am now. I looked almost anorexic at that weight. I say don't worry about the number on the scale because your body type will come into play at some point. Personally I'm aiming for 140. (The extra 3/4 of an inch may require that for me.)

I'm 5'5 and shooting between 130 and 140, wherever I feel comfortable and my body looks best.

Between 127 and 130

sbrooks0387

I'm 5'5" and I'm shooting for 130-135. I've never been under 150 before as an adult (where I am now) so I'm not entirely sure where I want to be in the end.

Well imgoing by my bmi ( I'm a little under 5'5) so my healthy bmi weight is 145. ATM i weigh 185 and I have a ways to go. I'm more of a stockier build , when I work out I tend to get more muscular oppose to thin ( my mom and sisters ate the same way). Ideally I'd like to see myself at 135. I have set a few goals.

Per week - minimum of 1lb less than previous week
1st goal- 179lbs for my sisters wedding this march
2nd goal - 159lbs for a cousins wedding in July
3rd goal- 145lbs to reach a healthy BMI
4th goal - 135lbs for my college graduation

I am 5'5" and my goal is 130-135 lbs, but that could change.

jenniakers

I'm a little over 5'5", and I've been through the entire range of "ideal weight". I prefer MY body at just under 140, but that's just me. Set a realistic goal and see if you like your body when you reach it. You can always change your goal weight.

I'm 5'5 1/2 Currently 200.2 and I'm shooting for 150. Once I get there I'll decide if i want to go lower. But I've always had wide hips and a muscular build so I think 150 will be fine. I've seen pics of myself when i was around 130 and i looked entirely too thin and sickly. Everybody is different.

I agree! Everyone is different. So many people get caught up in the numbers instead of what looks and feels good on them. From your pic I think 150 would be fine, I'm the same height as you, and I've always struggled to gain weight (fast metabolism), so now that I'm 120, I think an extra 15lbs would be great, any more and I think it would look weird on my small frame. Even with the same height, different weights would look best on different body types. Thanks for highlighting this!

My goal right now is 150.

laurablwl

My goal for now is 120lbs. I'm 130 now.

I have my goal set between 140-145, I have a bigger build, and my doctor said that is a perfect weight for me, any smaller I will look sickly. My low when I was a freshman in college was 140 and I am happy at that weight. I am at 155 now.

mandimommy

I am 5'5" and weighing 139. I want to get to 130. I'm wearing size 10 and am pretty toned but carry a lot in my belly. I am really struggling to get slimmer though. I weigh a few pounds less than I did before having my three kids but am not quite happy yet.

You have a similar build to me, so I am shooting for the higher end also.

I'm 5 weeks postpartum today and 139lbs. My goal is 120lbs, and I'm starting back up with fitness classes and tracking on Monday !

meyerstwilight6

Holy crap! When I was 5 weeks PP I was like 190 ( I gained TOO much with my little one.

kinsa2

I'm 5 ft 5 and my goal weight is to be about 55kg which is 121lbs.

I'm somewhere between 5'5 and 5'6 (I have been 5'5 for as long as I can remember but at my physical last month, my doctor said I was 5'6 so who knows LOL) and I am aiming for 115 lbs. I currently weight 165 lbs. so I've got 50 lbs to go. I figure if I like the way I look before I hit 115 lbs I'll stop, but a healthy BMI range for my height is 115-155 lbs so I'll aim high and see how far I get! I weighed 150 after getting really sick in 2011 but I still didn't like the way my legs looked so that just means I have to lose more!

honey_bee_keysha

My goal is 142 to 145ish, My lowest was 138 and I was too thin. My family actually tried to stage an intervention because they thought I wasn't eating.

newhabit

I am just under 5'5" and I'm thinking of a range between 122-125. But if not I wouldn't mind to be right at 125 or below 130. All depends on my body's appearance really. want to get rid of belly fat and actually see a resemblance of some ab definition. not a 6 pack but not a belly either.

maryloucash1961

hi. I'm 5"2 @ weigh 146 ' curvy also. my best most comfy weight is137-140, I hope this helps. we girls can't loose the curves our monks gave us.

Christie0428

I completely agree! This is a bit antiquated. I'm 5'6" and my lowest adult weight was 148 and I was a size 6 and my hip bones stick out.

Christie0428

sorry that previous post was regarding the 5' should be 100lbs and +5lbs for every inch... it didn't copy the text for some reason.


the biggest take away I am getting from this thread is that everyone is different and it really depends on your body type.

meghan6867

140.. but now as I'm approaching my goal I'm thinking about dropping it to 135 lbs.

BarbieAS

I'm 5'5.5". My initial goal is ~160, down from ~220 currently. At that weight I'm a size 10 and pretty happy with myself. I've got a ridiculous ridiculous butt (my current measurements are 45-33.5-51) and it's really hard for me to get my BF% lower than about 30%; I maintained there for a long time pre-pregnancy and even that took a decent amount of work. But, I'm going to re-evaluate when I get there...I'd love to be closer to 135-140, but that just seems unattainable - haven't been there since probably freshman year of high school. We'll see. I'm not set on anything yet, it's all about how I feel and how I look in my clothes.
