    5'5.5 here. 41.. Currently 137ish and goal is 125. I look best around 118 but feel best around 130 so I'm picking in the middle of that.

    I'm 5'6" with a medium frame and big boned. My goal is about 145 lbs (65 kg) solid. Right now I swear my scale is stuck at 70.8, it hasn't moved during the morning weigh in in forever! I'm at about 23% body fat hoping to lose a couple of percentage points, I've been doing mainly cardio (les mills body attack, corework, body pump) with some circuit weight training. I'm just uncoordinated enough that I don't trust myself with free weights!

    it depends on your body shape. For me I have a medium to large frame and bigger bones and significant muscle mass in my legs due to skiing as a child, at 130 I'd be positively anorexic looking. Even when I weighed 140 it was tough and I was way too skinny. I wear a size 6-8 pant (US), due to my hip bones and I need enough meat on me to hold up the pant. There's certain engines where you can input your measurements (hip, waist, bust, height, weight, body fat percentage) and it will tell you what your "goal" should be.

    50, 5'6. currently 150, size 6. Was low 130's 5 years ago but everyone said I looked pointy....happy to maintain my weight. Highly recommend including weight training to any program - weight becomes irrelevant as you build muscle and tighten up.

    im 5'5", I've never been skinny so I have no idea. I set mine at 153 to make it a 125 loss. But other than that I have no idea what will look best for my body..

    I'm 5'6, 33 and my final goal is 140 - but I haven't ever been that weight as an adult so it will be a major achievement if I get there!

    I'm 5'5" and my goal weight is 150 but if I rock out 160 I'll be happy. It's more a look I'm going for than a number.

    right now i am not very muscular and I would like 125 or 120. When I am lifting and doing toning exercises I look good at 130. I hope to get to 120 ish then start lifting heavier and wouldn't mind seeing my number on the scale go up. :)
    It also depends on your bone structure though.
    I am 5'6"

    150-145 I have never been smaller than that and I thin that would be a good size for me being that I really don't wanna be too skinny.

    5'5.5" here...Currently 137 and did the BodPod which said I was 25% BF (supposed to be super accurate). Would like to get under 22% BF which if you do very rough math would be about 5lbs of fat mass that needs to go...so aiming for 130. Been stuck btwn 135-137 for months now.

    5' 6" - 150 is small for me. I don't have a goal weight. Just want to look good in my clothes! :wink:

    I'm 31 and 5'5" and doing a restart, I got down to 130 (goal was 125) for my wedding then put everything back on (plus a couple of extra pounds for good measure lol) as I stopped "dieting" after the wedding.

    This time round my goal is 130 again and 125 is my UGW which was my weight at 19 and when I felt my best, I've been as low as 116 before when I was 18 (due to stress) but it didn't look good on me. I'm currently 146.5 but carry an unhealthy amount of bellyfat :/
