Women who are around 5,5 What is your goal?

My UGW is around 130 too but I've got several mini goals above that

Im 5ft5 and weigh 188pounds But By GOD Of Israel Grace I will Maintain 140 Pounds No Less Than 120 Pounds! Because My Build is Med or Large and I dont want To be to thin so I Just want To be Healthy and Lean!!!!!!! My Goal is to eat Healthy! veggies fruits water!! beans!!

i am 5 5, i started at 150 and am currently 135. my goal is 125-130 depending on how i feel at 130. you need to make that weight decision as you go because everyone looks different.

I am 5'5" and my goal weight is 120, but my body fat is more important than the scale, so 15% body is more of where I am looking to get down to for competing.

Hey, I'm 5'1" to 2" and I'm aiming for 125-130, but I've always been on the muscular side until I had to take a break from it all. I'm down from 150, but not near my goal. I've been told I should aim between 110-120 but I've never in my life been that small, and I don't think I'd want to sacrifice strength for it.

I'm 5'5.5 (lol the half inch counts), my goal is 135-140. I'll see what happens after that. Me at 140 is size 5 jeans and I just feel comfortable. I think it depends a lot on not just height, but your body shape, bone size and all that too.

I'm 5'5" and I have no idea what my goal weight is. Instead, I'm aiming for a body fat % (I bought a scale that breaks down my weight and tells me these numbers). Since I'm trying to build up lean muscle, my overall "end" weight might be heavier, but I don't wanna lose the muscle I've built up!

So I agree with everyone else -- just see when you get there! It's like going on a road trip where you don't know the destination. Stop town by town and enjoy moving forward until one day, you wake up, take a look at yourself, nod your head and go, "Why here's just fine!"

At least that's how I'm thinking of it. Anything to psyche myself into thinking this whole journey of a life revolution is *fun*!

Hi Kayla,

I am 5' 4.5" and my goal is 125-130 lbs. I started at 192 lbs (9 months pregnant with my 3rd child 10 months ago) and am now 139. Just do what looks/feels right for your body. 130 lbs sounds like a good goal. Good luck! Feel free to add me

I'm 5'5 and my goal weight translates as 138lb. However that is my unrealistic goal weight which I've only briefly been at in my adult life. My realistic goal which I know I can do translates as 150lb. I'm broad-shouldered and rather athletic tho so I know my body fat is below 25% at that weight. Perhaps it's silly but I do like my BMI to be in the healthy range.

I'm 5'5" and my goal is 125. In 2007 I had gotten down to 135 and thought for my frame that I could easily lose another 10. So depending on your frame size you may or may not look too skinny. I'd say start for say 140 or so and then go from there once you get there.

It really depends on your body type (frame) and how much muscle you have. It also depends on how skinny you want to be. I have weighed 130 and I looked good! I am 5'4". Now that I am older I think 140 would be best for me

I am 5'5" and i have always been "chubby". The lowest i can recall is 145. When i got married i was about 150 and looked great in my honeymoon pics although i remember still feeling a bit overweight.

I set a relatively small goal to reach 150 (17 lbs) to begin with. I am only 1 lb away from that but since the the weight is still coming off and its not like i am starving myself i plan to reset my goal to 140 lbs

I feel so much better now, and more importantly I feel healthy and strong, so the weight loss is added bonus from now on

My advice, set small manageable goals, once you achieve them reassess

my goal weight is 150. i think anything under 130 is too thin for 5.5.

It's funny, because the charts say that 130 is good, but I've found IRL that 140-145 is a good range. I'm trying to get to 140 and I'm 5'4". However, I won't complain if I can get to 130 or even 125! Sorry, I'm no help! LOL

My Answer Exactly! I'm 5'4 and also a mom to a Ryan. LoL... Goodluck

I am 5'5" also. I have my goal weight set to 135, but i am pretty happy with where i am now. (around 140) lke the others said, it just will depend on how you carry your weight and you will probably be able to tell where you are most comfortable when you get around 145 or so. Best of luck on your journey!!
