5'5- 5'6 women weight goal

I'm 5'5" and my goal was 127, which is what I weighed when I got married. I reached my goal the first week of July of this year. I have been able to maintain pretty well, but after having 5 kids my body does not look the same now at 127 as it did when I got married. I am working on trying to tone up problem areas. I am currently in a size 6, but I have enormous thighs, if I could get rid of those I think I might could fit into a 4.

I am 5'7". Over the years I've weighed as little as 117 lbs and as much as 150 lbs.

The last two months I've started focusing less on cardio and more on strength training and I'm learning that I really could care less what I weigh. I'm currently about 132 pounds, but I look better now than when I was strictly running this summer and weighed 126 pounds. I'll take weighing a bit more and looking great naked over weighing less and still having things jiggling.

Good luck to you!

I'm 5'5.5" and my goal first goal is 155, ultimate goal is 135 though. I'm at 165.9 now. I really just want to be in great shape and no bigger than as size 6.

It's really interesting to read other women's weights and sizes who are the same height as I am!

I'm 5'6 and 167lbs and can wear size 8 trousers (a UK 12). I've got a pair of size 8 trousers I bought in Abercrombie & Fitch on holiday in America 10 years ago that fit me. I have a muffin top in some trousers of the same size though, depends on the shop.

My goal is to get back into all of those size 8s perfectly, it doesn't matter what weight I am when I do it, although I imagine it'll be around 155lbs.

I'm 5'6" as well. And I'm fitting into size 8/10 US. AND I'm 167 pounds. You're my MFP doppelgänger. I never thought it possible.

Yes I totally agree! I wear a size 8 pants and medium tops.

SW: 174
CW: 165
GW: 130-140 (I want to be below 26% body fat)

When I was at 140lbs 2 years ago I was wearing a size 6 pants and small/med tops but had a lot of muscle and loved my body! (Damn injury and lack of motivation made that body disappear)

It is crazy the correlation between weight and size because when I was 122, a size 7/8 fit me perfectly. You were 140 and in a size smaller. That is terrific. That goes to show that it doesn't matter what your weight is, only what your measurement are.

I'm 5'5". I started at 269 in 2005. Lost about 40 pounds and had to stop because of medical reasons. Only gained 5 pounds back or so. Started again in March of this year at 235 pounds and I'm down a total of 88 pounds total now. I'm at just over 181 pounds right now. My goal is 140-145. But we'll see how it goes. My medium-range goal is 180, which I'm very close to now....

(Anyone can feel free to add me if they'd like.)

I've got a rough goal weight of 135-140, but I really want a 27" or less waist, and 19-20% BF. Where the scale lies once those two are met is irrelevant to me.

ETA: 5'5.5" tall, currently 162 lbs

5'5".....started at 290.6lbs and my long term goal weight is 150lbs. That will be reevaluated when I get closer/get there, and it may stay the same or may change. But that's the starting point.

I'm 5'6, and my goal weight is 145. That what I was in high school. After I hit that I'm going to stop using the scale as a primary gauge and use body fat percentage. I'll probably change up my workout scheme a bit from circuit training to more strength training and separate out the cardio. I'd like to do New Rules of Lifting For Women. I'm also going to see a doctor to get a professional opinion since all of our bodies are so different. My current weight is 160-165 (I'm sick so it's fluctuating a lot) and I'm fitting into size 14 jeans. I hope to get into an 8, because that's what I could fit into at 145. Really it's about having a healthy heart and body, and I want to have the best weight/body comp. for that.

130 then re-evaluate...

I'm 5'6.5" and my goal is 140-145. My cw is 181. I think I will re-evaluate when I get to my first goal.

I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 130, I'm 136 now. I have a small frame.

This just goes to show what a difference build makes. I'm 5'6 and 156lb (sw 175lb) and size 16 is too big, but 14 is still a little too tight. I would love to be able to wear a 12. Bloody hips.

My goal weight is 140lb, but if I feel happy at 145 I won't push myself to get down to 140.

I was 140lb in my early twenties and felt fat, but I hope this time I'll feel differently because I'm exercising and lifting (a little) and even at 156lb I can already see it's giving me a more pleasing body shape. Or maybe I'm just older and wiser.

My hips have really shrunk for some reason! Not that I am complaining. I'm 35 now and have 2 kids (eldest is 3, youngest 18 months) and I'm able to wear clothes I wore at age 25 at 147lbs! So perhaps having children has changed my body, but I also workout differently to how I did at 25. I didn't do any weights at all then, and now I use weights at least twice a week, plus I do spinning, aerobics and zumba, when back then I used to just do cardio in the gym and swimming.

My biggest problem now is my mummy tummy! It is the last bit to go. And although my thighs have lost loads of inches they are still a bit wobbly.

So if i got down to 147lbs again I think I would be in a smaller clothes size, probably a UK10.

My start weight was around 220lbs (eek) after having my 2nd baby last year.

im 5'4 and SW was 165, CW is 161.....GW is 130.

5'5''
SW 155 US size 9/10
CW 140 US size 7
GW 135

Because of my naturally fuller frame 125 would be too small, so my original goal was 130. Now at 140, I'm actually liking what I see in the mirror. I'd still like to loose a few more pounds but now I'm focusing on losing inches. I plan on starting weight training in order to lower my body fat and get toned.

I saw your pics from an earlier thread and I think you look GREAT! Id say instead of trying to go any lower use weight training instead to tone up your already hot bod! :-)
