Ideal weight for 5'5''- 5'6''

Haha. Not going to lie, I don't believe there is an "ideal" weight. There is a range based on your bone structure and height, and even then what really matters is how you feel and how you think you look.

Agree.

I am 5'5" / 5' 6" depending on the day and who measures me it seems...and for me my ideal is 52kg which for Americans is around 114lb.

I start to feel uncomfortable when my weight is over 60kg (122).

I got down to 63kg (132lb) in July, but have now regained - due to wintertime eating, stress and generally being stupid - around 6kg (13lb). So I am currently at around 69kg (152lb) and I hate it. I feel really fat at this weight though I've been bigger. It's a lot what you get used to, but I feel most comfortable in my skin at a really lean weight so that is what is best for me.

I'm 5'5 1/2" as well and I weighed in today at 111 lbs. There's a wide spectrum though for each height.

I am 5-4 and was talking to my mom about this same thing. I can tell in losing 30lbs I am not a small fram girl so if I can get to 170. I'm going to go from there to see what I think.

I agree that the "ideal" varies from person to person and body structure to body structure.

But since you are asking for our individual opinion, my goal at 5'6 is 125lbs. I am currently 145 and wearing size 9/10 in LC by Lauren Conrad jeans. (I state the brand because vanity sizing makes ALL women's pant sizes different by brand and cannot be cross compared.) My goal is to wear size 6/7, but I've had a baby and my hips may have widened so I'm not sure if 6 is achievable yet. To be more specific, my goal is to be at a 38 inch hip, my current hip size is 41.5.

But as you can see, we all have differing goals. It's mainly what you feel comfortable with. I look skeletal at 115 and plump at 135. So it depends on the gal's body type.

I'm about 5'6.5" and my ideal weight is between 130-135. I've been much smaller than this (115 in high school) and I have no desire to be that thin again. On the other hand, at my CW of 150, I feel big even though I'm just within a healthy BMI. Depending on the item, I wear a size 8-10. I'd like to be a size 6, which I think I would be again at my goal weight.

I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 145. I have a larger rib cage and shoulders for a woman. I was down to 128 before kids and was told I looked emaciated. After DD1 I was between 145-155 at any given time and wore size 10 jeans. DD2 is the pregnancy that changed my body the most, so I'll see how I feel when I get closer to my goal weight.

I am 5'5 and have ranged from 168-127 over the past 5 years. My goal is 125.

5'5. I'm 130lbs on a good day, want to lose 5-10 lbs. I think I'm a size 4?

I'm 5'6 my ideal is
154. If I go down to 148 that is good too.

I am 5"5 and I just had a baby about 7 weeks ago I used to be 115lbs in a size 1, and am now 132lbs wearing a size 3 and my doctor said I should be between about 118lbs and 125lbs for the "ideal weight"

MrsSullivan08

Your stats are about the same as mine. Start weight was 168 current weight is 158 and goal weight is 135-137.

I am 5'6 and my goal for now is 154. I am currently size 10 at 163. Hoping to get to an 8.

I'm 5'5" with a small frame (petite bone structure, small boobs, not hippy, etc). My ideal weight is somewhere between 115 and 120, which usually translates to about a size 4. I'm about 125 now and was at a high of 135 this winter.
