5'5- 5'6 women weight goal

I am 5'5.5" and currently about 134 lbs. I am wearing a size 2 petite pants and extra small tops. I must have heavy bones or something... My goal is to maintain between 130 and 135, which I have been doing since the summer. I am 53 and started (last February, before joining MFP) at 178.

I am 5'5 and my goal is about 135, i have been to 137 before and felt good about myself. I want to be able to wear my jeans from when i was that small. I don't think i would look good if i was under 130, just the way my body is built. However I will re evaluate when i get there.. As long as i don't lose my boobs i'll be happy lol.

I am 5'5". My official goal weight is 130 lbs, but I am starting to get more interested in body fat %. I think my real goal will probably end up being between 20-25% body fat, which I may end up hitting at a slightly higher weight (135 lbs perhaps). I want to have a healthy body fat % and be satisfied when I look in the mirror.

I really need to get my body fat professionally measured however to calculate out the exact numbers.

I'm 5'5", started at 326.8, current is 248, goal is 140. May drop a lil after I get there.

Height: 5'6''
SW: 130
CW: 126
GW: 125

I strength train three times a week, so I'm really just looking to work on my body composition. I'm around 21-22% BF right now and would love to get down to 18%. I eat around 1500-1700 calories a day depending on my workout.

SW: 237
CW: 177
Size 10 pants (usually, but have to get an occasional 8 or 12 depending on cut); Size M or L shirts (I'm busty with broad shoulders)

I think I put my MFP goal weight at 135 but I really don't give a rat's patootie. I'm more concerned about body fat % and fitness levels. I think would like to get into a size 8 pants and size M tops on a consistent basis. Once I get to that point, based on my body fat level, I'll be able to determine whether I need to lose more actual fat to achieve my goal or just continue to lift heavy in order to work on body recomposition.

So, really, the scale is the least important measurement, imho.

5'6" with an initial goal of 150. I remember being at that weight for several years and being comfortable. The lightest that I would consider is 130. I was 128 in college and very thin at that weight. Not sure it would be sustainable at this point in life.

It is very interesting the difference that frame and body composition make in weight. My mom is 5'7" and 120 lbs at 64 years old.

i hit my goal weight of 60kg this morning!!!!!!

i fit into some UK10's, others a 12 is more comfortable. i have lost all my boob whilst loosing weight which is a bit sad. i still feel quite flabby though I need to work on body recomposition, I have no accurate way of measuring BF% but I think I will know

I'm 42, 5'6" SW 155 and my original goal was 140 which was the lightest I'd been my whole adult life.
Once I got there, although happy I wondered how much more I could do and am now at 134.
I'm wearing a uk 10 (US 6) and some clothes are starting to feel loose.
Several people are starting to comment about not going any further and I think I'm pretty happy. Just need to maintain now.

I'm 5'6" and like to be around 145 lbs, I'm a size 6 at that weight.

most of the women I have dated are around 5'6" and they always looked great at 125

Focus less on your weight and more on the kinds of foods you are eating and exercise by doing whatever you enjoy.
Food should be simple and real, not packaged or processed. learn to buy only real food, flavor with olive oil and spices and herbs, and you keep your focus on loving and caring for yourself. It's the best "diet" plan of all.

I'm 5 ft 5 and my highest was 310, a little over a year ago..... now I'm somewhere around 199.... I'm 22, and honestly don't think I've been under 200 since like.... 7th grade, if not significantly before. My husband lost over 100 pounds before joining the navy, so he knows how excited AND IMPATIENT one can get while losing. A few weeks ago he got so fed up with me weighing myself at all hours of the day, after meals, and getting upset, that he hid the scale, and won't let me see it for "a long time."
-He's right though: I'm doing everything right, and still seeing results.... inches are dropping faster than pounds, and SALT intake can make pounds difference one day to the next. At first I figured I would be happy forever if I could just get to 150.... but why let a certain weight dictate how I see my success? I'm just going to keep eating well and exercising and see where I can get, (healthfully- of course.)

I'm 5'6 and have weighed every where from <90 to >186 at this height with a variety of body fat percentages. My "goal" was 140, but once I got back into my storage pants (mostly size 6 jeans and size 8 slacks), I've stopped weighing and focused on how they fit.

It's amazing how different our bodies distributes weight. One person can have a goal of 135 and wear size 4, and here I am at 133, and I feel like my size 4s are cutting into me and I'm hoping I won't pop a button while out in public. Lol! I say there really isn't a magic number, just a range and go by how clothes are fitting you, or how you feel I know many muscular women who weigh what I do and look thinner and healthier. Thus when I reach my goal weight and start in on the heavy lifting, I'm pretty much kicking the scale to the curb cause I think I trust myself enough to know this is a lifestyle change and what I need to do to be the healthiest and strongest I can be
[/quoteI'm the same way, when I was 125 I could "stuff" myself into a four but it wasn't comfy and didn't look good. And this was in high school when I was very lean and worked out all the time.
