5'5- 5'6 women weight goal

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.

I'm 5'6" and was always very slim in my teens and 20s, had two kids and went up to my highest weight of 10 st 5 (145lbs) - still healthy BMI but felt flabby and not like me. (I'm 36 now). I've recently started intermittent fasting / 5:2 diet and am finding it's working really well for me. I've lost 12lbs in 3 months which I'm hoping is slow and sustainable. So I'm currently 9st 7 (133lbs) and would like to get down to 9st (126lbs) or thereabouts. I have wider hips than I used to, but still a pretty small frame - skinny wrists etc.

I don't know how to add people but I would like some friends on here if anyone is doing similar.

I am 5'6" and currently weigh 144. When I started, at 215 I wanted a goal of 140. That currently puts me at a 34% BF. I would like to get down to a 25% BF. I am guessing that I need to drop down to about 125 to 130 and then build more LBM for that to happen. I think weight is not necessarily the best gauge. BF% seems to make more sense to me the more I learn of fitness.

I'm the same height. Right now, I weigh 140 and I feel overweight. I'm 50 and have gained 8 pounds in the last two years (don't worry, you have another 25-30 years before you have to worry about that!) When I was younger, I think 125-130 would be a good weight. It depends how much you work out and how much muscle weight you have. I would go by how you feel in your jeans. Good luck. Susan:laugh:

Its interesting to see all of the different sizes. I am a little over 5'6'' and weigh 180 but I am in a size 10. My doctor said I have heavy thick bones and I am naturally muscular and cant imagine how I could ever weigh 130, My goal is 150, but I guess I'll see when I get there.
