5'5 girls..what is goal weight?

stellcorb

I'm 5'5" and my SW was 200lbs... my original goal was 150 and a size 10, b/c I wanted to make sure it was a lifetime maintainable goal... but I got down to low 130s and a size 6 and did pretty well maintaining until I got pregnant again last October. Up to 160 w/ a couple months to go, but still 20lbs lower than my starting weight for my last pregnancy! Hoping to get back down to 140 pretty soon after I deliver but not going to push it too hard.

What I really want is to get back into size 2 jeans (specifically AE jeans because that's the brand of my "goal jeans" from a few years ago). I was 125lbs when they fit, so I'm aiming for something around the 125 mark overall. Oh and I'm 5'6", but that shouldn't really make a difference, it's just an inch. I'm 19 by the way, but will be 20 before I reach my goal!

I'm 5'5" and 34 yrs old. I currently weigh 132 and have met my goal and surpassed it (135) so at this point if I lose more great, but I'm trying to do more toning than losing.

I'm 5'4 1/2", 65 and my CW is 141. Goal weight 139.5. I'm fine where I'm at but it's a mental thing. I want to be below 140.

Me too! I am 5'6" and presently weigh 141, after an indulgent weekend. My goal is 138, and I actually weighed 139.4 last week. Just want to be under 140, with some room to spare.

Wow, some of you have really low GW...

A few years ago I met with a nutritionist who said my ideal weight is somewhere between 68.5kg(150.7lbs) and 72.5kg(159.5lbs). He based this on my height, 165cm(5"5), and the wight of my wrists and knees. I'm aiming at 70kg, 154lbs, witch is smack in the middle.

156 or thereabouts for me. I'm currently 181.5

I think much less than 150ish and i'd look odd, just because I don't think i would suit it. I think it depends on the individual and their body type.

I am 40 yrs old, 5'5" and my goal weight is 127lbs....just want to stay right around 130 in the long run. I have a pound and a half to go!

lururu

I'm 5'6" and my starting weight was 250lb, I would love to get as small as possible so 115lb would be ideal but maybe unrealistic :P I'm still going to try though!

LemonBurns

My highest weight was 158

My goal was 130lbs - now that I am 1-2 lbs off that... it has changed to 125lbs

PLUMSGRL

5'5", CW 178, pear shape, and 55 yo. Looking to add about 20 lbs of muscle weight (everywhere). Not really looking for a number on the scale, but to ball park it 125-140. Not really looking for a size either, since it varies from one brand to the next.
Just trying to get healthy!

I'm 5'5 and turning 25 next month...my goal weight is 123 (I tend to roam between 128-132, so it seems like a slim, but achievable goal).

mrsbrown2k1

I am 5'4" and my goal weight is 125-135. I am currently at 158 and still way too fat. SW was 199.

momonabudget

I am 5'5" and my ticker says 110, but my goal is 120.

killinme

I am 5'7" and my sister was super skinny at 5'4" 125. I will be super happy at 175lb, that was my heavy weight fighting weight for kickboxing. I was a size 12 then.

It is true that muscle weighs more. I think it has more to do with your own body and how you feel, that is what makes your goal weight right for you.

Just my opinion.

hoosiermom03

I'm 5'5". When I was 25, I weighed 128. I'm 44 now, and my goal weight is 145. I think the "healthy range" is 111-150.

I'm 5'4 31years old and my goal weight is about 160-165. Good luck to you all. We can all reach our goal!! *\(",)/*

LALOCHA34

I am 5'5.75" (ha ha, love the 0.75") and my goal weight is 145-150. I am 34 years old. My lowest weight was 138 (at 27) and I was unhappy. It was almost like the thinner I got the more I didn't like about myself?!? I know I will feel more comfortable with my current GW but I plan on playing it by ear once I get under about 155. So far I am well on my WEIGH!!

Best of luck to you ladies in reaching your goal. Go with whatever makes you most comfortable. Not with what everyone says you should be. Right now, I am excited to reach the 170's.

Wow, there are a lot of REALLY low weight goals! I'm 5'6 and my goal 160. I'm pretty curvy though. Below that, Im afraid I'd lose the parts I want to keep!

160 is at the beginning of the overweight category for bmi at that height. I know it can depend a lot on your body composition, but I really don't think a goal weight in the 120-130 range is unreasonably low for most!

I'm 5' 41/2, 56 yrs old and aiming for 155 lbs. I'm afraid if I lose too much weight my face will look wrinkled and saggy.

I'm 5'5, 36, and my CW is 146lb. My goal is 130lb aprox.
