    I'm just under 5 foot 6. I'd say I have a medium build, and I have an hourglass shape. I weigh quite a lot for my size (people always think i'm a good 14lbs less than I am) so I don't go by weight, but by measurements and clothes size.

    I'm currently a US size 10 in most things, sometimes an 8. I can put on some of my old trousers that are a size 8 but the muffin top is still a bit too big!

    So my goal is to get back to a US size 6/8 (I'm English so a size 10/12 here) and tone up and get a flatter stomach after having 2 kids quite close together.

    I'm 5'5" and weigh 153 lbs, I wear a size 8/10 with an hourglass shape, my measurements are 36/29.5/38.5. I'm not sure what my body fat % is though. My goal weight is between 135-142 depending on how I feel as I've been 10 lbs lighter before but with higher measurements then I have now. I'd like to be a size 6 comfortably in the end with a lower body fat %. Hope this helps :)

    Height: 5'6"
    Weight: 129 lbs.
    Body fat: 21%
    Clothing size: 2 or 4 (depending on the manufacturer, lol)
    Frame size: small

    I want to be 19% body fat and around the same weight. I put 19 lbs on in the last year and look way better and my body fat is lower. Everything is more compact and tight due to weight training. Just be your best self and don't compete with anyone. :) P.S. For reference, my profile pic was taken only 2 days ago.

    I'm 5' 5.75" so I'm nearly 5'6" and I have a medium to small build..... I'm a pear shape so maybe I'm a small build on top and medium build on bottom?... LOL I wasn't sure if 130 was too high of a weight goal? Would I even look good/healthy at 120? Or is it even possible for me to shrink down to a size 2/4? I am about 24% body fat currently @ 140 pounds and would like to get to 18% body fat....or less.

    What is you body fat % goal? Weight goal? Jeans size goal? .... I'm trying to get realistic ideas of what I should aim for.

    Thanks

    I'm 5' 5.5" and I weigh 123lbs. Estimated body fat 20%. 23 years old with a 20 month old daughter. I have small bones and look good (I think lol) I am also a bit pear shaped. I'm pretty much at my goal weight I jus want to lose a couple of inches in my upper thighs, get rid of some belly fat and build sone muscle. You can look at my pics. The one of me in the pink tank top and shorts is the most current. I wear a size 0 jeans (US) at hollister. UK size 6 . So I think that's a 2 or 4 at the regular stores? Idk I wasn't this small when I moved from the states. It all depends in your frame.

    I am 5'6" and have always had a med/lrg frame - my goal is 165 - I am AMAZING at that weight - it is a sz 10 for me. Any lower and my face is absolutely gaunt looking....at 165 ALL my small clothes fit me and I am super happy there....I don't think I could physically get below 155....I was on my honeymoon and it lasted for 5 seconds and my husband didn't like my hip bones sticking out like that...nor did I....I guess every "body" is different - you have to find what is comfortable, attainable and maintainable for you :)

    Height: 5'5" (5'5.5" if you really want to nitpick)
    Weight: 121.5 lbs.
    Body fat: 20-21%
    Clothing size: 4
    Frame size: small

    I'm a definitely pear shape, no chest at all, small waist and bigger hips. I'm pretty much at goal, just lifting some really heavy weights and eating lots of good food trying to build some beautiful muscles.

    I'm a wee bit over 5'6", small-boned (my wrists are like a 9-year-old's), and I'm at my goal weight range of 125-128. BF is 24%, although if I were younger, I'm sure it would be lower. I wear a 4 or 6 depending on who's making the clothes. And I still have nice curves. I wouldn't mind losing more body fat/getting more muscular, but for me, the weight is perfect. AND -- everyone's built and carries weight differently. You have to be wherever feels right and is healthy for you.

    I"m 5'6 ... I am aiming for 135-140 / Size 10 jeans.... I was there once and loved it! I have a large chest, and hips. I got up to 306 / size 28 .. currently 189 / sz 16 - I will make my goal by the end of next year. I lost 40lbs this year. Just find where you are comfortable, and don't worry so much about scale numbers. As long as you are healthy, and can fully live life... feel good about yourself.. then don't worry so much!

    I was 150-- my goal was originally 130 (which I am now) but I changed it to lose about 5 more pounds. I'm at a 4/6 pant size now. The best I ever looked was when I was about 120-- but then again-- I'm really small chested too so I look a little better proportionally speaking at that weight lol

    I think I'll probably aim for 120 ish then too...I'm much smaller on top too. I'm pear shaped. Do you know what your body fat percentage is? I am worried with my chest already being relativly small that I'll lose more weight there than in my hips and thighs and calves like I want. :-/

    YES-- I am very pear shaped. And I lost a bra size already :( That is the worst part. Not sure what my body fat percentage is now- but when I was around this size now (give or take 5 lbs) 2 years ago, I was at 21%

    I'm 5'6" & my current weight is 130. My goal is 125 (because I anticipate when I start maintaining rather than losing I will level out somewhere between 126-130). I've been in the 120s before when I was younger and I feel best about my figure in that range. I think it really depends how you are shaped though. If I went TOO low in the 120s I'd look sickly but the higher 120's are like spot on for me.

    As for clothing size ... I really don't pay much attention to that because it seems to be always different depending on brand, cut, etc. Now, I am usually somewhere around a 4, 6, or 8 (usually closest to a 6) depending on the previously mentioned factors.

    I am 5'5 and my goal weight is 140/145. I was up to 164 and am now down to 154. At 48 years old I would be very happy to get back to 140 which would be a size 10 or maybe an 8 for me.

    I'm about the same height and currently at 129 (started here at 146). I'm aiming for 125 and a size 4.

    I think it's all dependent on what YOU are going to be comfortable with. And aiming for more of a goal look and fitness level and focusing less on the numbers on a scale.

    If I go UP five lbs but look lean and have muscle definition, I'll be perfectly happy.

    I'm around 5'6" currently at 141. I start feeling a lot better in the 130s.

    I'd like to be about 130 and have been once before. I feel amazing at that weight and am a size 4 on the bottom, sometimes 2 up top. Jean size - comfortable in a 28 at goal.

    Even though I say I'm 5'6", the truth is I'm about 5'5.5" (I think I just have a complex about being the shortest person in a family of tall people). My goal weight is 135, what I weighed in my early 20s. I might go for 130 or 125, but we'll see how I feel when I get to 135.

    I think you can tell from this post that everyone is very different in their goals and sizes. I'm 5'6" and a half and 152 lbs. I'm pretty curvy and currently a size 10 in most clothes. At my lowest weight I was 137 and everyone told be I shouldn't lose another pound because I was too skinny. And yet I was in a size 8 and had the best toned body of my life. I kept thinking, how can I be a size 8 and everyone think I'm too skinny? It was weird. I'd like to get back to 140-142 lbs and back into a size 8. I don't think anything less is reasonable and I wouldn't be capable of mantaining the 130's. I also had more energy and was able to work out better in the low 140's. That being said, I am 40 and have had two kids. Everyone's body is different and our frames are all different. I'm still shocked when I read those People magazine articles about losing weight and someone my height and weight is wearing a size 4. Really it's bizarre. I just figure we all have different frames. So go with what works for you, maybe work on your fat % goal first, and see where that gets you.

    5'6.5" here. 55yrs old, solid size medium, weighing in at 129.5 and I'd still like 5 more off. Started this round at 143 which looks fine to everybody else but always makes me feel chunky-style. 128-133 is my comfortable, not starving weight, but I'd like to reset my set point to 125.
    ETA: forgot to mention Body fat is currently 18.8

    I'm 5'6" and have a large frame. Anything under 150 just looks gross on me as my face looks sickly. I don't care for the scales too much, as I just want to feel fit, healthy and strong.
