I am 5'7'' - 5'8'' and am aiming for 125lbs, which would put me in the lowest healthy BMI category. I have to go this low because I have very thick legs that don't begin to look decent until I really skinny up. Most people of the same height don't need to go lower than 130lbs to look great. Of course, let's not forget that the more toned you're the less you need to worry about the number you see on the scale. All I truly care about is if I can fit into my old pants that's been collecting dust in my closet for the past 6 years.

I'm 5'6''
I've got thick thighs and calves, I've just had to learn to embrace them. They won't slim down.

My calves are huuuuge! Even when I am 8lbs underweight, they are 14'' around. Good for you for embracing yours! I'm still struggling to completely accept mine.

I am 5'6. My goal weight is 130#. My heaviest was 141#. Still a healthy weight, but heavy enough to make me outgrow most of my pants. My muffin top is the area I need to work on. I am walking a lot now for my cardio, and really watching what I eat. My goal is to add strength training.

I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 120-125 lbs. I'm currently at 138, and I'm down from 144, which is still within the healthy weight range, but I want my arms and belly to thin out. My *kitten* is fabulous, though!

I am 5'6", 130-135 lbs and I have a really small frame. My goal weight is 115.

I'm 5'6" and would like to be in the 125-130 lb range, which I consider completely healthy. However, I like to go by BF% more than the numbers on the scale, here's a general breakdown -

Top athletes 15 to 20%
Fit women 21 to 24%
Healthy/acceptable 25 to 32%
Overweight 33% plus

(percentages could differ based on age)

Ha! I have the highest goal.

CW: 155
C BF: 24% - not sure how accurate - I am usu between (22-25% but I used several online calculators using measurements this time)
GW: 143
G BF: 20-22% (since I don't know where I am at.. I just want to be lower !)

If I lose more than that I am afraid I will lose muscles and strength.

Calf: 13 in.
Waist: 29in
Hips (widest): 40in
Chest: 38in

Medium frame

Most people think I weigh less than that, but I tell you the truth here!

I think a lot of it depends on your shape- I'm 5.7 and slimmed down a lot a couple of years ago, but because my body shape is all hips and shoulders- not boobs sadly- I looked quite ill IMHO. Personally, I'm gonna settle at 9.5 stone so I don't look like I'm a prisoner of war

^^^ Exactly my situation! I weigh 130 and just started strength training in hopes of slimming down my thighs and calves. My chest is pretty small to begin with and my stomach is relatively flat, but legs are definitely my problem area, and for some reason, are the last to go! Ugh so frustrating!! haha.

I'm 5'6" and I want to be 125. Weighing less than that, IMO, would cause me to have eat in a very low calorie range, which I don't like the way that feels. But hey, everyone is different, so my advice is shoot for a weight that allows for you to be in a "good mood." Just sayin

I'm 5ft6, currently 135lbs with a current goal of 130lbs and an ultimate goal of 126lbs. I was 126lbs a few years ago and would definitely go no lower than that - I start to look a bit too bony.

I'm 5ft 6 ½ and started out at around 145lbs. I have reached my goal weight of 123.5lbs and now moved into maintenance mode. I dropped a little lower while trying to figure out maintenance calories but felt I was getting way too bony for that. Feeling happy where I am at the moment.

Honestly I'm not really sure either. At 134, I still have belly pooch, thigh fat, etc. and I am not happy with the way I look in a bikini. So I think I can still safely lose and get to 125. But then I want to add muscle definition, so that may bump me back up. So yeah, I have no idea.

It's interesting to read everyone's responses. I feel like we're all kind of in the same general range.

My original weight was 148. I'm 5'7".
Current weight is somewhere around 137. Need to get an accurate read!
I'd like to weigh 132 - 133 lbs.

Honestly, though, I could care less what the scale says if I could lose another two inches off my waist and an inch or two around each thigh!

Interesting thread to read through! I am 5'6" and feel good at 125, but look and feel great at 120. When around 120 I have sort of an hourglass figure and can squeeze into a size 4, but as always it's that darn baby weight in the middle that just won't let go! Gotta get down toward 123 to flatten out my tummy. Currently I am around 128 and trying to get down to around 123 by summer.
