    wow, lots of posts here.
    When I was a teen and early 20's and an athlete I was a very lean 125.
    I'm 48 now and sure I have not retained the muscle I had back then.
    I'd love to be 125 to 130 again but I'm sure it will be a whole different body make up.
    So I'm not sure what I even should weigh.
    Anything under 150 would be fabulous though.
    I'm 5'5.5"

    I'm thinking I'd be happy at 135, but I won't know for sure until I get there. The 120s look pretty tempting.

    I'm 5'6 and my goal is 130, but we will see once I get there if I can shed an additional 5lbs. ;)

    I'm 5'5.75" with a medium build aiming for 125-130! My first goal is 135, so once I get there hopefully I'll have a better idea of how much more I want to lose.

    I'm a touch under 5'5" (5'4.75") with a small frame and my temporary goal is 120. However, that is for running purposes and I'm going to evaluate my progress as I go. If it turns out I can hit my goal speed at 125 or 130, then I will be happy there. I have small bones and a small/medium frame.

    Edited to add: my bodyfat percentage goal is somewhere between 18 and 20%, unless I can get faster higher. But I also need to get some actual weight off so that running is easier on my body.

    Edited again to add: Once I have qualified for and run the Boston Marathon (I'm guessing I might end up as low as 115 for racing weight for that), I will probably let my body settle at a weight that allows for comfortable four-hour marathons. My guess is that will be closer to 125. But this is all guesswork at this point. I can't imagine myself trying to maintain 115, but I think 125 is realistic.

    I am 5'6" with a small-medium build. I was original at 120-125 but ended up becoming sick because of it with all of the running around I did.

    Now I am a runner that weighs in between 130-135. I am healthy and proud of where I'm at.

    I'm 115 pounds right now... honestly I don't care so much about weight as getting toned in the spots I want.

    Mine is 145-150 which is a perfect size 6 for me! :)

    Snap. I was 159 last time I weighed myself about 6 weeks ago, and I'm currently a UK12 which is a US8. Although I have some US8 trousers from Abercrombie & Fitch that are really loose on me. (I must be really cool and beautiful to wear those lol).

    I'm 5'5" and 128.
    I want to get down to 115 but toned, not all fragile looking.

    Hey all I was just wondering this for myself a few days ago. I am 5'6.5 and right now I am 141.5 (31 pounds down). My goal weight is 132. I am losing weight super slowly. And was wondering if I am even able to get down to that weight? My body fat is around 25%.

    I'm 5'6 and currently JUST reached 145 from 162 :) . I'm aiming for 140, but ideally 135. Feel free to add me!

    I am 5'6 and weigh 127 right now. I was looking to get down to 120 but at my height that is on the way lower end. I should never weigh below 118 for my height. That would be considered underweight. I will be happy at 125 I think. Good luck!

    I am 5'6" and would love to be 125 again, but realistically I think 130-135 is do-able.

    5'4" goal is 135 ideally but I'll take 140. I'll fluctuate anyway.
