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

Hi,
Absolutely agree with everyone here that it depends on how you feel. If you feel healthy and can fit into the clothes you love with no obvious problem areas that bother you then you've probably hit your ideal weight. Use this alongside a mix of tools such as BMI, hip-to-waist ratio as a general health guide and try not to get too fixed on a number.
I'm 5'7" and am 133lbs at the moment. My target is around 119 and although that may be too thin for some people at my height, I have a very slim build and am an apple shape so I carry any excess weight around my stomach and waist. It's not just that it looks horrible hanging over the top of my jeans, but that trousers that fit my hips won't even do up round my waist! It's not healthy (I worry about visceral fat) and, as at 133lbs my waist is still 30.5", I know that I need to weigh a bit less than someone of my height with a bigger frame who may have bigger hips but a smaller waist. In my time I have weighed a lot more than 133lbs and a lot less than 119lbs, so I am also basing that estimate on previous experience. Who knows, when I get closer to it I may find that the jelly belly has gone and I can stop before 119, but I'll just see how I feel. )

I think it depends on your age and your shape and your lifestyle...I think when you get closer to the number your mom is suggesting, you will have a sense of either "yes, this feels right" or "no; I really think I want to keep going for a bit." Good luck!!!

I'm 5'5 and my goal weight is between 150 and 170 ish. I have a very dense bone structure and have been told by doctors that I should not be under 150lbs. It all depends on your build and what you feel comfortable at.

I was at 334, I'm now at 318, my goal is 150-160 toned

I'm 5f5 and aiming for around 125. People say 145 is a good weight but that's about what I am and I am not fit.

I am around 5'4"-5’5” and in my mid 20’s found 145lbs to be an easy weight to maintain but always felt like I could and maybe should lose weight, I have been working hard for about a year and am now trying really hard to break the 130lbs mark and I have never felt better! Do what feels right for you, set a reasonable goal and when you get there reevaluate it. One thing I found is that everyone has an opinion on what weight I should be, and my opinion is the only one that matters because I am the only one who can feel it and no one sees my reflection the same as me. Good Luck!!!

I'm 5' 5.5" and would be happy to be in the 160's or 150's. I'm currently 190.

I am 5'6" and I weigh 143 pounds, without clothes.
I want to be 140, but I am already a size 6, and I don't care to get any smaller.

I started out at 190 and a size 16.

It took me a year to lose it all.

Start by eating right.
For me 80% of my weight loss was eating the healthy foods...20% was exercise.
I get tired of people saying....."But I don't have the time to exercise."
I answer: "You don't have to exercise at first, just eat better and healthier foods."
You can find the time to exercise later.
Once you start losing the weight, the exercise will make it even better.
Almost anyone can find a little time to exercise.

Also, make your goals little ones at first.
I just wanted to lose 5 pounds, then 10, then another 10, etc.

Then keep going!!!

I have to lose another 3-5 pounds because I think that I would be about 138-140.

I was 135 pounds when I got married to my husband about 30 years ago.

Good Luck!

im the same height. started at 238lbs. currently down to 175 as of today. my goal was 165lbs. but im coming to realize im just gonna lose weight until i can look n the mirror n say dang i look good...

I'm 5'4 am my goal is to be 135 - 140 hopefully that helps you

I'm 5,2 and currently weigh 162lbs. my pre-prego weight was 130-135. i would love to get to a healthy 120 or 125. that is my ult. goal. but it all depends on what i look like if it be muscle i'm fine with 130, just wanna get the fat off my tummy.

I am 5'5" and I fluctuate between 145 and 150. I am athletic and have alot of muscle. I don't really go by the scale though. I go by how my clothes fit and how I look.

My realistic goal is 135-140. My "would really love to weigh" goal is 120 but I am medium-framed and 38 years old so not holding my breath for 120. If anything I'm going by pants size. Bones get denser as we age, thus, adding to our weight. So keep that in mind. I'm shooting for a 7-8 pants size.

I think, depending on your frame and muscle base, anywhere from 135 to 155 is a good goal.
