Ladies 5'5" to 5'6" goal size

5'5", and my goal is 149, purely to be in BMI "healthy range". (Just recently downgraded from "obese" to "overweight"). I always have a lot of muscle, so look about 10 lbs less then I actually am. Will see what 149 looks like now. So far I feel so sexy at 175 after being used to 200!

There's so many variables from person to person, and even in the same person at different times in her life.

I'm 5'5 and about 134 pounds now. I wear a size 2 or 4 for the most part.

Ten years ago, I was 120 pounds. Here's side by side then and now. Other than my arms not being skinny little noodles any more, I don't think I look any bigger. I think my waist looks significantly smaller. Any article of clothing I have from then fits fine now.



At 30, I didn't exercise and didn't have much lean muscle. 120 pounds wasn't too skinny then, but I wasn't terribly healthy, either.

Now, I run 3x a week and lift weights 2-3x a week. I have a lot more lean muscle. I don't think I could get to 120 without cutting off a limb.

ok, just wanted to say this comparison is amazing---showing you thinner now but 14 lbs heavier. I love it--well done!

I am 5'5.5" and 44 years old
I have been teetering around 150 for almost a year! My initial goal is to get down to 140. I was actually at 147 late August..then today...back to 150.8! Wear a size 8 pants (sometimes a 6...but rare!) and L top. 38/31/37 are my stats. guess that's hourglass? ha ha... My ultimate goal is to be 135...but honestly, I am not sure if I will ever get there! Trying not to concentrate on the # on the scale...but honestly, I did the BF military calculator on fit2radio and it said I was obese when I entered my measurements! Really??
I am doing JM Ripped in 30 preparing to do her Body Revolution.
Any suggestions on how to get this last 10 lbs off is greatly welcomed!

Well, everyone's different. I'm an hourglass, and even when I was in the throes of anorexia at 90/95 lbs at 5'6", my jean size (in juniors) was still a 5/7. I'm small framed, but these hips don't lie.

My current goal weight is 140, my ultimate goal weight is 125/120. I'm aiming for a 20% body fat composition as my best marker, though--if my weight is higher than I planned, but I reach that goal, I'll probably stop.

Bump

I'm 5'5". I currently weigh 150. My goal is 135. I have been as low as 124, at that weight I was a size 4 and looked like a disgusting bobble head. Ha Ha!!! I would say that was the unhealthiest I have ever been. I think a realistic goal is around 130 and a size 6-8.

I'm 5"5 & my goal weight is 150lbs.. I'm now 154 so not that far off.. I wear a uk 12 now at this weight & I'm quite big boned so being any less may not actually suit me.. I don't want to appear gaunt in the face & all bones as that's not a good look.. Everyone thinks I should maintain this weight now as I look just right.. However I'll get to 150 then call it a day there .. Maybe!!..

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 story is somewhat similar. I was 160 - 175 in high school and really enjoyed that size! I graduated almost 10 years ago and don't really remember being under 200 since. I'm 5'5" and somewhat apple shaped with a large bust. I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant, so my weight loss is on hold until after I deliver, but my ultimate goal weight will be back in the 160-170 range. I have absolutely no idea what size that will put me at, but I very much look forward to having a larger selection of stores to shop from once I'm there.

I'm closer to 5'6 - 5'7 so I don't know if I really qualify..
right now I'm 168 lbs and between a size 8 and 10.
Current measurements:
36 inch Bust
30 inch waist
37 inch hips.

My ultimate goal is to weigh between 145-150 lbs and size 6.
really, I just want my belly to be slim and flat. Biggest trouble spot ever!

I am 5'5.5 - 5'6.
Currently I fluctuate between 167 and 170.
I am 26 years old.
My goal weight is between 130 and 140. I would really like to be 140-ish come December or at least lose another 20 lbs by then.
I am hoping that by August 2013 I will be between 130 and 140!!!
So I need to lose about 3-4 lbs per month.

I'm 5'6 and got down to 136lbs after I was very ill - I hated how gaunt my body looked and my friends said I looked terrible (in the nicest possible way!) - I'd lost all my gentle curves and my hands and face looked bony.

I know there's not much in it, but my happy weight (or rather the weight that corresponds to me feeling great) is between 140-145, which is what I'm aiming for - only 3lb to go!

I'm 5'5" and currently about 175. I'm apple shaped with a large bust and wear size 12 jeans. My first goal is to lose the remaining 10 lbs of baby weight. My second goal is to get back down to my pre-sedentary job weight, which was 145. I wore size 8 at that point. I think fat loss/muscle gain is more important than the numbers on the scale though.

I'm 5'5" with a small pear-shaped frame . My happy weight is 118-125. I'm at 124 right now and am pretty happy being back within my "happy range". The lowest I've ever dipped down to was 112 ( that was after a long-term relationship had ended and I had a serious bout with depression). I looked horrible when I was that small. I was just getting back to eating meat as I had been a vegetarian for several years and started college (one of my classes was a fitness class), and had just gone through an unexpected breakup with my ex. Everyone was concerned about me and opening asked me if I was anorexic or bulimic. Luckily I started putting on some muscle from that fitness class and my weight picked up a little bit.Now fast forward 7 years, I'm wearing around a juniors size 5 in jeans or a misses 2/4 (depending on the cut) & tops are now a XS/S. I'm not really sure what my BF% is right now as I don't have calipers and my scale doesn't calculate BF. I imagine it's rather low as I'm more on the muscular side now than when I was at the low end of my happy range.

Age 41, 5'5", weight ranges from 115-118 if I'm working at it. I'm happy if I'm under 120 (I have a small frame. I measured my wrist the other day and it's 5.5 inches). It's clear that everyone carries their weight differently because I've seen plenty of women that are my height and weigh over 140 and look incredible.

Good luck. :flowerforyou:

I am 5'6" my goal was 140, but I am happy at 145. People tell me I look smaller than I weigh (probably because I am more muscle less fat). I just recently dropped to a size 4. I started focusing on strength training and toning so even though I have only lost 6 pounds in the last 2 months I dropped inches and went from size 8 to a size 4.
