5'5". tentative goal is 140. happy anywhere between 130 and 155. More important to me is having the body I am comfortable in, and my goal size looks like a 14/16.

I don't recall if I responded but I'm 33, 5'5 , and My goal is 135.

I am 5'5 1/2" to 5'6". My goal weight is about 145 pounds. I have been as low as 138 and everyone tells me I look too thin at that weight.

130 but I might reconsider once I hit 140. For size... I have no idea what it would be. 8 maybe? I'm 5'5" (well 5'4.75").

I am 5'4 1/2...lol. My goal weight is 135. I was 175 overweight considering my BMI. I am currently at 138 and must admit I look slim enough. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

I am 5'5 and my healthy weight is 130 .... I'm at 139 now and feel really good but I am definitely looking forward to losing another 10 pounds... I carry weight in my belly ...lol...so I most definitely can stand to lose it.... everyone is built different and carries weight different than the next!!!!

Wow, I must be large framed! I'm 5'6 1/2 and I weigh 163 now... looking to get to 155lbs. I'm at a size 8-medium now and comfortable. Goal is to never hit 170 again. Original start weight was 212lbs, so def never wanna see that again!!

But, I'm happy at my weight... I just want to feel healthier! I just keep losing slowly but surely...

The best thing I've ever done is keep track of my weight, but focus on body fat % which is a better indicator of my health. I'm aiming for 20% (I'm at 36.6% right now). I obsess about the scale but I've dropped a larger portion of the body fat I'm trying to lose than I have dropped in pounds. I want to be a toned 130, 140, 150 or 160 at 20% body fat...whatever weight that's at, that's my goal.

I am 5'6". Starting weight 215. Current weight 173. Goal weight 140 and 25% body fat.

I am 5'5". My current weight is 186, with 38% body fat. So I have 115 pounds lean body mass that I'd like to maintain. One calculator I used identified that I need to maintain 14 pounds of essential body fat. So that takes me to 129 pounds. So I think my goal would then be anywhere from 129 - 139. It all depends on how I look and feel when I get in that range.

Lilloise

I'm 5'f'5''. Goal weight around 150 and then around 140. Was 128 at my lowest but I don't think I can be 16 again!

Like many of you, I think body fat % is a better measure, but I don't have an accurate way of regularly tracking it.

The "official chart" says for a 5'-5" woman from 117 to 140lbs. My goal is 140. If I can do better that YAY ME!

i fail to understand how lower than 140 is better. that means i have less muscle. that doesn't mean it's 'better'.
being lighter is not always better. most of the people who have a significant amount of muscle, are not even classified as healthy on the bmi chart. so i have trouble understanding why we should be basing our goals on it. no thanks. it's just a vague guideline.
not really helpful for anything. it doesn't even consider race, frame size, amount of muscle, age.....

I'll take dead lifts for 300 please.

I'm 5'5" and the top of the BMI range says I should aim for 150. The last time I was in that range I was 23 years old and a curvy size 8. I'd be THRILLED to get back to a size 8. I'm a very curvy size 12 right now (~170 lb). However, I can already hike for days and rock out at pilates class so building strength is more important to me than my pants size.

I am 5'5 and my goal is 160 pounds. I have 105 pounds to lose.
