    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 hoping for 150. I will see how I feel when I get there, or close to it. My current is 201.

    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.

    SW:240ish size: 24 Sept 2012
    CW: 214 size: 18-20 today
    GW:160 Size: 10-12 April2013(?)
    Lowest adult weight: 145(Cancer and looked very sickly thin for my build) Size: 10 January 2007

    My adult smallest size was a 10. If I weigh anything less than 150lbs I look horrible. I think that different body types hold weight differently. I want to be healthy. I looked my best at 160.

    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.
