5'5" Woman Goal Weight?

I'm 5'5 and 39, and feel best between 125-135, although once I got around that weight, I stopped caring what the scale said and went more by how clothes fit and how I looked in pictures.

I am 54 and 5'5 1/2" tall with medium frame and thicker legs. I started at 205 pounds. My current goal is 135, but I may go for 130. I am currently 138.8 so just a few pounds left! I bought 3 dresses the other day. 2 cocktail dresses were a size 4 and a size 8 and the other dress was a 6. They were all form fitting and looked great! I also bought 2 pair of trousers in a size 4, but the waist was a bit big.

I am working towards ramping up my strength training (again) so hope to be filling out some of my sagging skin over time and losing some of the flab still.

I am eating mostly a veggie diet and will continue with it forever, so don't think I'll have a problem maintaining. I feel GREAT! = D

I'm 5'5" and almost 31 years old with a medium frame. My goal is 140. I have been stuck between 150-160 for 2 years, but my ultimate goal is 140. I got down to 146 for a month or so, and hubby wasn't sure that looked that good on me, but I definitely have jiggling spots I need to tone up.

I'm 5'5.5" and my goal weight is 150. Im currently 240, so I have a lot to lose. I think I have a medium frame. I'm 28 years old.

I'm 5'5" and TOTALLY undecided. I'm at 198 right now and wear a size 14. I'd like to be a size 8 or 10, so right now my goal is set to 170. I have ALWAYS looked like I weighed much less than I actually do. Right now, people typically think I'm 170. I have no number, but I figure it will be somewhere between 150-170. I'm really interested in decreasing body fat more than reaching a certain weight.

i am 5'5 and at the moment i am around 11 stone. I would love to be 9 and half stone. I wouldnt want to lose any more weight when i reach this goal though, as i might start to look unhealthy xx good luck with your journey

I'm 5'5", and not really sure how to describe my frame. I'm not very good at that. Anyway, I got down to 116 pounds, and I didn't look overly thin. I think after this pregnancy, I will aim from 120-125 and work more on muscle tone and definition. Even at 116 I looked pretty soft, but I was doing a lot of running, and not so much with strength training.

I'm 33 and 5' 4.5" with a large frame.

I used BMI and knowledge of my body type to help me set a goal. I know that I'm naturally curvaceous. (I previously lost 70 lbs without losing a single bra cup size!) I also know that in the past, I felt fairly comfortable in the 160 lbs range.

I decided that 155 lbs. is a healthy and reasonable goal. For me, that is close enough to what the medical community determined is the maximum healthy weight for my height (147.5 lbs) and well within my comfort zone as far as appearance goes.


Hope that helps.

I am 5'5" and 41 today. I have a medium frame and very curvy. I started at 190 and my goal weight is 150-155. Anything below that would be gravy but I am looking to maintain for life not just for now. Only making changes I can keep.

Given, it looks like by the photo, a few Mum.....try Yoga....there are LOTS of choices on GAIAMTV and you can stream on your TV through ROKU or use your laptop through the internet. That way you will gain strength and muscle, help your 'mummy-tummy' and do it when baby is sleeping .....Good Luck...

I'm 5'5" with a goal weight of 125 lbs. I want to say I'm a medium build but I honestly have no clue. It was my high school weight and where I was most comfortable. Basically, what you see in the mirror is what's most important, the scale is a trivial number.

I'm 5'5" and 42. I got down to 134, and I've been working out about 30 minutes a day and eating more fruits and veggies, and less carbs and junk food. I thought I should go down to128-130, but I found that this is incredibly hard to do - I'm already wearing size 6P clothes, and like how they fit on me, and I like the muscle definition that I've gotten. SO, I'm struggling with allowing myself to stop at 133-134 and being happy with where I am. 128 is just a number - nothing more. What matters is that our bodies are healthy, that we are the size that is good for our frame, and that we have learned healthier habits. So, if my body is happiest at 134 like it is now, then I'll stay here and keep the good habits. It's hard to get off of a number, but remember muscle weighs more then fat, so if I have more muscles at 134 then I would otherwise, bring the 134 on!

I am also 5'5' with small/medium frame. I am 35yrs old. I have a booty and I like to be around 135. I once got down to 125 and that was too light with my hip bones protruding. Even at around 130-135 I have some people who have made mention of me being too thin. But for me 135lbs gets me slim enough and leaves the jiggling in all the right places. I have currently been maintaining 140lbs for about 4months and now that the holidays are behind us, I'm ready to drop those last 5lbs.
Good luck finding your happy weight!

Kazimira makes a really good point here. Your shape really dictates what your final goal will be. I'm 43 years old, 5'5" 131lbs, medium frame but I'm build very straight, no hips or butt. My weight is typically in my lower belly and well distributed everywhere else. I'm working towards 129lbs in hopes I can reduce the lower belly. So I think your end goal will be determined by how your body responds to weightloss.

I'm 5'5", small framed, but with very long legs (I have a 33" inseam.) My goal is 140. I've been as low as 128 in the past, but I looked sick. My husband would start force-feeding me. lol At 155, I am comfortably in an 8. The smallest size I would want to wear would be a 6.

I am 5'4", and 41 yrs old. I have learned through the yrs that I am most comfortable at around 135. That is a size 8-10 for me. Under that is hard for me to maintain without having to think about weight all the time. I feel good up to 150 but once I hit that point my facial features show my weight and my body generally shows other signs of over eating and inactivity.

THIS IS ME EXACTLY !!!
I am 5' 5" tall, but I am 50, I have set me goal weight at 135 and at the moment I am 149, as soon as I go above 150 I look and feel a lot fatter, even hough it is just a pound or two, it seems to cross an imaginary line.

But I would love to get back to my pre marital weight (32 years ago) of 125, but not sure I would look right now t my age.
