    Great response! Thank you to all you 5'5" posters who are my height. You all have inspired me just by being able to read your stories of success (and struggle). Thank you! I'm 5'5" and lost 25 lbs in 6 months, then joined this excellent site and have lost 5 more pounds. Currently stalling out at 156 lbs but still inspired. My first goal is to reach 139 lbs (my Weight Watcher lifetime goal) and then to stabilize at 125-130, a good weight for me that includes plenty of muscle.

    I'm 5'4.5" I love having curves, but mine are pretty extreme. I just want to go down to somewhere around 150lbs, that way I can keep my curves, but actually be able to buy clothes and bras at regular stores! :laugh:

    I'm 44 and 5'4", with a medium/heavy bone structure. My current goal is 140-145, which I would be reasonably satisfied to maintain. My ideal goal is 132, which is a weight I stayed at for much of my early 20's and looked good on me. I once fell to 121 when I was sick, and it didn't look good on me. 128, maybe, but probably no lower than that.

    I am 23 and 5'6. I only started doing this about 2 weeks ago. My starting weight was 204.4 and my current weight is 199.8! Can't believe I'm in the 100's! I use to be around 140- 145 a few years ago. My goal weight right now is 150lbs but we will see when I get there! I my lower it alittle.

    I'm 5'5 & starting weight was 160's. For me this is a size 14 jeans because I carry it all in the legs/rear :( My goal had been 130 & hoping to see a size 6-8 again........ but I am now 143 and can wear a size 8!!! I definitely need to lose a little more and tone up whats there but I'm not as concerned about the scale number anymore.

    I'm 5 feet, 4.5 inches. Currently at 134 (down from 139), would like to hit and stay at 125. Although I currently fit in the acceptable weight range for my height, I am not particularly muscular and have a small frame. I can see that I'm carrying at least an extra ten pounds of unwanted fat. Along with losting the fat, I'd like to build some muscle.

    I'm 5'51/2'' and weigh 147lbs. I want to weigh 125, but I'll settle for 130. I basically just want to look and feel good. If I lose some of this tummy, DEFINETLY the love handles and lower back fat, and tone up the thighs, then I don't really care what the scale says. However, I'm sure if I look good, the scale will be around my goal weight. :)

    I'm 5'6". Start weight was 185 (but I've been as heavy as 205 in the past.) My "dream" weight would be about 145, but I think I will feel happy and sexy around 160.

    I'm 5'4". I'm shooting for about 160 for my first major goal and then re-evaluating when I get there. My ribcage is really large. So, I think if I lose too much, I'll look odd. But my goal is 145 on mfp.
