5'6

Hi I'm 5'6 and currently 170 wanting to get to 140. My goals are a lot higher than yours x.

I'm at 151 at the moment, aiming for 140lb as it's 10 stone and I like round numbers!... but maybe more like 9 and a half stone, 130lb eventually

Really close to 5'6, started at 152, currently 130, aiming for 115 but i am really more interested in body fat than weight so it's likely i'll be happy at a lean 120. good luck to all of you girls!:flowerforyou:

I'm 5'6" and 157lbs. My goal weight is 125lbs! Isn't 111lbs under the BMI thingy?

5'6'' and 126lbs, my goal weight is 120. 111 is below the healthy weight range for our height (118 is the lowest). I couldn't even imagine weighing so little, let alone being able to lift at that weight.

I'm currently 5'6 and 135 pounds but I'm aiming for around 118. :glasses:

I'm shorter but .. I kinda can relate .. I'm 5'4 .. weigh 112 .. my GW is 105 :-)

5'6" also and definitely not aiming for anywhere under 130 lbs. I am muscular and intend to stay that way. I play full contact sports and need to have some body weight behind me while still being quick. OP, I doubt at 111lbs you would be muscluar at all. That's under healthy BMI. At your current weight maybe you should just focus on building muscle. Your weight might go up but your body composition will change. You say you are muscular, do you know your bf%?

I'm a "close" 5'6". 5'5 1/2". My goal weight at this time in my life would be 150 lbs...MAYBE. When I was between 137-140 pounds, I wore a size 4, but the skirts would spin around. I don't want to be a size 4 again, and especially not a LOOSE size 4. I'm a comfortable size 6 at 150 lbs.

Current weight is 206, trying to get down to 190. I was as high as 220 over the summer......hope that I can lose the rest of the pounds!!! :happy:

what's your current and goal weight? just curious.

I currently weigh 126 and I am aiming for 111. I'm muscular so thats why my gw is on the higher side

At 5'6" your healthy range is 5’6” 118 – 149 Lbs. This takes into account muscular builds.

I'm 5'1" and my healthy range is 5’1” 99 – 128 Lbs. I got down to 109 while still quite muscular I was at 10% body fat and I felt it was too hard to maintain, but my doctor said I was fine if I wanted to stay there. I've come up to over 120-125 and I'm still at 11.5% body fat.

So, everyone is different but as you get closer to your weight range you will see what you like, see how you feel, see how you look and you can always change your goal whenever you want.

I changed my goals all along the journey. First I just wanted to get from obese to size 8 because that was the smallest I'd ever been in my adult life. Then I realized with the goals my workout program (http://bradpilon.com/weight-loss/womens-body-ideal-measurements/) gave me that I didn't need to limit myself and I got down to a size 2-4 (I'm still there). While at this same size I've changed my waist size with ab exercise experiments and slowing bringing my body fat down a little more (10%), then I decided to come up more a little in body fat because I realized I just have a thick torso because I'm short and I'm muscular, The DXA scan showed that the bulk of my 11% body fat was in my arms and upper legs and 0% in my abdominal area, so it's just something I have to accept unless I decide to live my life at 10% body fat and no ab exercises. I love ab exercises and I'm adding even more.

Just keep experimenting until you find what you want. When in doubt check with your doctor. I had my doctor check my hormone levels throughout the weight loss process because it was scary for me to get so lean and the new way of managing calories for the first time in my life at age 50, but he said all was fine.

I'm a bit over 5'6" and am very happy at my goal weight range of 125-128. And, as I continue to work out, I keep getting smaller without losing additional weight. As someone else mentioned, under 118 is considered underweight for 5'6".

P.S. I just looked at your diary and see that your daily calorie goal is 500. This is most definitely unhealthy and eating disordered behavior. I'm sorry, love, but I think you need to check in with a professional and not this site. The goal here is to be as healthy and fit as one can be. Can't support such deeply unhealthy goals.

what's your current and goal weight? just curious.

I currently weigh 126 and I am aiming for 111. I'm muscular so thats why my gw is on the higher side

111 is on the higher side for that height? I have a "small" bone structure and 111 is almost underweight for me.

I had hoped the 111 was a misprint -- that is underweight for someone our height and is certainly not on the "higher side" of anything. I also can't see how you could possibly be muscular at that weight. Now I see from your diary that your calorie goal is 500 a day, so I assume it's not a misprint. If you have to eat at that low a level in order to lose, than you are not meant to weigh less than you already do. Your current weight is fine, why not work on attaining a fitness goal or body fat percentage goal instead?

Hi! I'm 197 (started at 252), and my goal weight is 150, but honestly I've never in my adult life been that small so won't really know if that's my ultimate goal till I get there
