I'm 5' 5.75" so I'm nearly 5'6" and I have a medium to small build..... I'm a pear shape so maybe I'm a small build on top and medium build on bottom?... LOL I wasn't sure if 130 was too high of a weight goal? Would I even look good/healthy at 120? Or is it even possible for me to shrink down to a size 2/4? I am about 24% body fat currently @ 140 pounds and would like to get to 18% body fat....or less.

What is you body fat % goal? Weight goal? Jeans size goal? .... I'm trying to get realistic ideas of what I should aim for.

Thanks

    I'm the same height and look anorexic at 130. I'm large boned big on top and apple shaped though so it probably makes a difference. 130 for me is about size 5/6.

    I'm 5'6" my goal was 140 but now its 130, if I'm not happy I will keep on going until I'm happy as alot of people this height want to be 120.

    I'm also just a tad under 5'6" and my goal is 130. I always say I have a large small frame or a small medium frame. However, I am 63 and by your pic, you are WAY, WAY younger than that. I still have 7 more pounds to lose and I am a bit concerned what my skin will be like (face in particular) at 130.

    My losses are SO small and slow right now, I may give up before I get there, but I am still trying. If I am unhappy with my appearance when I get there, I will try to maintain for 6-12 months and reevaluate.

    in jeans? WOW! Yeah...back when I was 130 I was an 8 maybe a tight misses 6 in jeans at 130. I've NEVER been a 5!! Maybe when I was 5! LOL My upper 1/2 does look very annorexic thin at 130 but my bottom 1/2 is still heavy and was 22-23%BF. :-/

    I'm almost 5'6" and 125 is my happy weight. I was as low as 116 for my first competition, and I looked too thin-- I never thought those words would come out of my mouth! I looked better this last time around 122 or so. I fluctuate between 130-135 right now but don't feel as happy with my body as I do in the 120s. I don't want to be skinny, I want muscle and that "toned" look.

    I am 5'6" and 37 years old. I have had three kids(one set of twins in there) and have fluctuated with my weight for years. I personally liked 150-160 best. still had some curves and such but was a comfortable 6-8. I am apple shaped, no doubt, and probably a medium frame. I have never done the type of exercising I am now so I have no idea really exactly what my weight goal is to be honest. In my mind 160 seems a decent number to shoot for though. Good luck!

    I'm 5'5" with shoulders like a linebacker and hips to match, so my goal weight is 140. It's what I weighed 15 years ago and I was very happy and managed to maintain that weight for many years.

    I'm 5'6" and I haven't been below 200 since junior high!

    My goal weight is 165 and I have no idea what that will be in jeans or clothing size in general. I have a large build with a 42 F chest (which I'm sure will shink at least a little as I continue to lose weight.)

    My hope is that I will be able to drop to a size 8 jeans...single digits would be awesome! I really just want to be able to shop at a "normal" store...no more Lane Bryant/Avenue/Torrid type places!

    my goal is 129-135

    I figure once I get down to 135 I'll reevaluate. I know I looked good when I was at 135 before and I think that's more realistic for my body shape (I'm naturally very curvy). I'm 143 right now with measurements 38-28-40.. losing another 2 inches everywhere is what I'm more focussed on :)

    I have a small frame and am 5' 6". Im currently about 125. My top half is small and ottom half is big (thighs and bum) I liked myself best at around 115. I would love to be 110 but I am striving for muscle so I'll weigh more

    I am 5'6". To begin with I am aiming for 168lb as that will be just inside "normal" BMI. I will then work out how much more I want to lose. I used to be about a UK size 12 at that weight, but a few years have passed and I've had 3 children since then! If I am happy and feel healthy at that weight I will maintain at that, if I feel I need to lose more I will. But I won't really know until I get there.

    I am 5'6", right now my goal is 155lbs. Currently I am 161 lbs and I am in a size 8 pants and a medium top.
    I am not really sure what I am going to do/where I will stop becuase my issue is one of twin skin on the tummy (had twins in 2005) Just not sure I will ever make a dent in it with weight loss. I will have to see what happens. I am fairly happy with my size right now just not my tummy.

    I don't think I could ever go past the 150's, it would look ill on me. My upper body already is getting a little thin for my liking.

    Good luck

    I am 5'5", small-medium frame and am currently 140lbs and a size 8. My body is happy at this weight and I can pretty much eat what I want as long as I exercise. I feel strong, toned and muscular, espically now that Im lifting more. My body fat is hovering around 24% so I think Id rather focus on getting that number down then my actual weight.

    3 years ago before I had my son, I was down to 130, even 127 on a good day. I was a size 6 and was ALWAYS told I was too skinny looking. I felt good but I hardly gave into food which is why I got so small.

    I am also 5'6", however my goal is 160. I am a medium-large frame. I dont like how thin my face looks at 160 but my body looks good. If it wasnt for my body I would go for a higher weight. at 160 Im a size 10 (im hippy) and I love it :love: Its amazing and beautiful how everyone is shaped and built so different.

    I am 5'6 and currently 65.7 kg (145 lbs) my target is 62 (136 lbs) , the problem being that although that is a great weight for me people start saying that I look thin and a bit u healthy at that weight! It would take me down to a comfortable uk 10.

    Do you know what your body fat % is? I've never been that small so I'm not sure how I'd look at that weight.

    Really? I was a size 12 when I weighed 160! :-/ That's the pear shape I guess. grrr

    My goal? I just want to fit into my size 10 jeans from Express again, and I think I was around 130 lbs at my lightest in 2008. Anything after that at this point would be a bonus.

    I'm not sure what I'm going to be, size wise, when I'm done. I'd like to be UK 14/16, but hell once I'm healthy I don't care xD

    I'm 5'6 with probably a medium frame with boobs & booty...my dream goal weight is 175lbs!!!
    I LOVE being thick & healthy. And Love the way men who love thick women worship my body lol. But who knows! I might enjoy being a bit thicker or being a bit smaller than that. Just find your happy place and buck the number!!! :)

    I'm 5'6 1/2 and my goal weight is 160. I'm a big boned, muscular, banana shaped Mom of 1, age 36. I have no idea what size I'll be. I'm 190 right now and size 14, almost ready for a 12. I just want to be strong and fit, not skinny.

    Same here.
    I guess I have a small frame then, never really measured or put much thought into it.
    I use to weight 113 and i loved it, but no muscle.
    As well bigger on the bottom.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal weight on here is 125. However, I'm working out more than I ever have, so I may look better at a higher weight. We shall see.

    I'm 5'6" and I feel wonderful at 165, so that's what I'm shooting for (gained a few pounds). I once got down to 149 but I looked and felt sickly.

    I'm 5'5.5", small frame, hourglass figure, about 22% BF. I'm 129 right now and I still could stand to lose a couple of inches off my waist, so I think I'll end up about 125, then maybe back up to 130 with some muscle. 130 is a good goal weight for you - it's in the right range of where you need to be, and once you're about there you'll find you're a lot more focused on the inches and the muscle than the number on the scale.

    Your measurements are similar to mine....I'm 140 and 34-27-40.5. Sadly I'm mostly just curvy on the lower half. LOL
