5'6 Girls what weight do you want to be?

zsaoosh · March 2012

I started out at 152 10 weeks ago. I am now 138. I wanted to be 135 but now my goal is 130.

I am currently 187 and the weight I'd like to end up at is 138. However I have a couple of mini goals in mind (172 and then 149) but I will see how I feel when I my second mini goal. I'll make a decision then on whether to just maintain or go all out to get to to 138.

I always feel like the odd one out on posts like this...my goal is 160(or in the 160s..) I'm currently at 169(down from 235!)
I have a larger frame, and I just don't see the need for myself to reach anything lower...I want to live, and enjoy eating still!

I'm with you! I'm 5'6" and started at 240, currently at 222 (still a way to go . . .). Originally I wanted to get down to 145-150, but I started working with a personal trainer and she bumped me back up to 180 as a goal weight. Once I'm there we will re-evaluate but given my frame and wanting to maintain a healthy active life, she didn't think I should go below 160-165.

I'm 5'6, 130lbs, and looking to be the lower end of the healthy weight scale range at 115lb. If I reach a size 8 UK before the scale does though i won't stress, because size 8 jeans is my overall goal

I'm 180 as well and I think 145-150 would be awesome! It is gonna be a long journey. The strange thing is that I'm a size 12 which really doesn't seem so bad but I would like to improve both my health AND the way I look.

I am 5'4" and my goal weight is to be 130. However, I am 242lbs right now and do not want to set my goal this soon. So I am starting at losing 30 lbs by september. Maybe 50 lbs by the end of the year.

I am a little shorter than you guys at 5'4.5", and my goal is in the 160s. So I really feel like the odd one out. I am really shooting for wearing 8-10, and I think that is about where I need to be to get there. I can absolutely stop in the 160s and be happy! But of course, if my waist isn't quite where I want it, I'll keep working at that. Shooting for a 27 inch waist. If it turns out my hips and thighs don't want to be smaller than X, I'll get over it.

Wow I feel like the cow in the room....with all these low weights....But anywho coming down from 309...I would love to be 199. Not my goal, but that would be a great start..

I want to be between 145-160 and I'd be happy

I'm almost 5'6", started at 148 and currently weigh about 142. The past three years have involved a very lazy, gluttonous lifestyle and I've watched the scale slowly climb. I am using my wedding in August as the ultimate motivation to get a handle on things before it gets too out of control, and hope that by the time the wedding rolls around, I'll have better habits in place for a more long-lasting change. I've set the goal for my wedding (130-133 pounds) a little lower than my ideal weight, with the plan to maintain around 135-138 afterwards. I have recognized the fact that I love food and beer too much to expect a model figure, and instead just want to pick a healthy weight that can be maintained through moderation. I'd love to be a size 4, but would be happy with a comfortable-fitting 6 (I can still squeeze into a 6 right now, but it's not a pretty picture when I do so.)
