Anyone else 5'6"?

Hey

I'm 5'7 and aiming for 135 lbs, so your goal sounds ok to me What would your IMC be with a weight of 133 lbs? 22-ish?

A general rule of thumb for Ideal weight:
For a woman 100lbs at 5'0", and add 5 lbs for every inch so at 5'6" ideal weight for a woman 130 (100 +6*5)
For a Man 106 lbs at 5'0", and add 6lbs for every incch so at 5'6" ideal weight for a man 142 (106+6*6)

These are just rules of thumb of course and have a lot to do with body type and % body fat etc.

I'm 5'6.5", aiming for 125.

I am 5'6 and aiming for 130

I'm 5'6 now and weigh 150. I am pretty comfortable with my actual weight, I just want to be way more toned. I know that that entails losing more fat, so for now I am just saying 140. If I ever get there (ha) I will change to maintenance and work on my fitness.

Oh and I wear a size 10, 8 on a good day or in dress pants.

I'm 5'6" and I'm most comfortable at 135. I was 145 when I got married, and was still looking and feeling good. I think less than 130 is too skinny for our height.

I don't know, I think it depends on the person. I'm 5'6.5", and have been as low as 114 before. I wasn't 'too skinny' at all. But I have a small frame....

That's why it's so tricky to try to pick an 'ideal' weight for someone of a certain height, because we're all built differently. I had quite a bit of flab on me at 114.

Though, to be fair, at 114 I was thin but not fit. I didn't exercise much, etc. It's possible I could get down to the same size I was back then but be at 130 because I've got a lot more muscle tone than I did then....

I thinks it depends on the person. I'm 5'6 and I would look sickly at 130. The lowest I would like to be is 165.

wow, that's quite a diverse response. I guess it really does depend on each person and you cant go too much by height. I just want to be under 140 lbs for the first time since I was 18! (even if it's just a couple of ounces)

Good luck to you...as u start loosing weight....you will find your perfect goal weight for you
I think it also depends where u hold your weight etc...
In my profile pics I am about 133 and don't think I look sickly or too skinny...everyone is different
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I am 5'5 and am aiming for 150. The smallest I have ever been is 170. So 150 for me will be amazing. and I am also afraid that if I lose too much I won't have a chest anymore and I kind of like what I have there!
