    I'm 5'5" too!!!!! Please add me.

    "Average" weight for a 5'5" woman at 30 is 120-150 (according to my doctor). But I agree that every body type is different....bone density, muscle mass, etc. For me, when I got in the 130's (I've gained A LOT since then) I was a size 5 and friends/family started telling me I was starting to look too thin, but my sister is 5'4" at 109 (equivalent of 114 if she was an inch taller) and looks perfectly healthy....so who knows.....

    Hi! I'm 5'5" too. What do we have to moan about then hey that we are too average??? I always find trousers too long but i think because i have short legs. Any others here have that problem? :)

    I have that problem too. For some reason, Junior sized jeans (when i could fit into them) and NY & Co pants seem to always be the right length. When I buy designer jeans they are ALWAYS too long....same with Cabi and other nicer brands. It seems like the larger the size, the longer the pant. Just because I gained a few sizes, doesn't mean I also grew taller.

    I like that people are posting their goal weights. It's nice to see what others are shooting for at our height. Right now I am shooting for 150, but my ultimate goal will be 140 or 145.
