    I'm 5'6" and want to get to 112lbs. I started at 126lbs. I have a small frame and am about 119 at the moment... might not go quite as low as that if I decide I'm happy before I reach that weight.

    I'm 5'5" or 5'6" (in the middle) and my goal weight is anywhere from 120-125. Which was my postpartum weight after ED recovery.

    My goal isn't a weight, it is a lower body fat%. Who gives a rip what the number on the scale says?

    ^ This. I'm 5'6", focused on lowering my body fat and increasing definition. Weight fluctuates far too much for my liking.

    Well I'm a tad shorter than you at 5'4". My SW was 154, CW is 134, my current GW is 130. However, with only 4 pounds to go, I'm quite certain that 130, won't be enough to get me as lean as I want to be. In the end, I'm not looking to attain a certain weight, but there is a certain look I want to attain. I want to be very lean and very fit not just skinny. I think now at 134, I'm getting skinny. I look AWESOME in my clothes compared to what I looked like 3 months ago at 154. However, I want to look AWESOME in a bikini. So I don't know if that really means losing more pounds or gaining more muscle. Probably a cobination of the two. Hope that helps! :)

    I'm 5'5" and my goal weight is between 130 and 140. I am by no means petite either.

    I am 5'6" and shooting for 145. Broad-framed....I think my lowest was 135 and looked sick!

    Yep! I was 150lbs all through high school and my early 20's. I could get down to the low 140's and be ok, anything lower I looked like I needed a cookie.

    5'5" Goal 180. I'll re-evaluate when I get there. (I was 180ish when I graduated highschool 15 years ago and it's a good goal for me.)

    Mine was 140 but I weight now 128. Not looking to lose anymore weight just body fat is my main goal. I want to have a body fat of 20% right now that I know of I'm at 21.7%. I think I could be there within the next couple months.

    I think you'll know you've reached your goal when you get there! I'm 5'5", small framed. I started off at 165 lbs with a goal of 140. Reached that, and then said 130. Reached that and then 127. Reached that and said 117. It's been a year and I've been sitting comfortably at 125. I wear a size 4 and can sometimes fit into a size 2 - that was a realization for me, that "why would I want to be smaller than that??" So I've been focused on building muscle instead and taking measurements. I highly recommend if you haven't already to incorporate strength training -I wish I had sooner! Nobody knows the number on the scale but understood, you need a way to compare and measure progress.

    Good luck!

    I'm 5'5 and I am waiting until I get to 160 to set a goal weight. I don't think I want to go too much below that.

    I"m about 5'5" ish and 30 also... currently about 137lbs and a size 10 jeans on average... I would like to be a size or 2 smaller... so about 125-130. My body seems to like to hover around where it is, and honestly my real goal right now is just to stay here and not gain weight again :P

    I'm 5ft6, my goal weight is 140lbs (give or take). I haven't been at that weight since I was 17, so I don't know how my body will look now. It really depends on your own personal preference, as long as you're healthy.

    I am 5' 5". When I first started out at 196 lbs my goal weight was 145. I have since passed that goal and am resting comfortably at 135 lbs size 5 or 6 pants, I would like to lose another 8 to 10 lbs but will be happy where I am at.

    My goal was to be in the best shape of my life by 30 years old, I will turn 30 this Thursday the 16th and I am at the weight I was when I met my boyfriend 15 years ago. I am in better all around shape thanks to his nagging and judging the way I looked other wise I would still be morbidly obese!! As a matter of fact we are both in the best shape of our lives by my 30th birthday!!!

    I'm 5'6" and my original goal was 135 (what I weighed when I entered college). However, because I'm working out 5 days a week and have gained a TON of muscle, 135 is an impossibility for me! (Muscle weighs more than fat!)

    I took into account my body fat % which told me I had 125lbs of lean weight and the rest is fat. If I'm shooting for a 20% body fat percentage (something I would love to achieve and would put me in the "athletic" category), I wouldn't weigh less than 155. It was a HARD pill to swallow, but having realistic goals is so necessary. Every woman is built differently!

    I'm 5' 6.5". My goal is to fit into a size 6 with room to spare. That should be about 127 pounds, but who knows--I've been building muscle (I can see it in certain parts of my body) as I've been losing fat, so I don't know what the scale will say when I get there.
  • My doctor recommended 160 as a goal weight for me.

    165lbs and a size 10. I"m currently 185lbs and a size 12, so my weight goal may change. I just want to be a size 10 because anything smaller than that doesn't look good on me due to my build. My profile pic is me at 169lbs and a size 10 last year.
  • I'm 5'5'', 28 years old and my goal weight is 135 -- which is CRAZY for me to even believe because like others, I've always set small goals. NEVER did I ever say when I was 235 pounds that I wanted to be that small. I took it in strides. I just want to be under 200, then I just want to be under 190, then I just want to be 175, then I just want to be 150. And I've passed all of those goals.

    I'm sitting at 146 and while pretty content, I know I could get to 135. Plus, then I'd have lost 100 pounds even, so it's a little incentive. ;-)

    I'm 18 years old and currently 5'5.5 and 135 pounds, my goal weight is 118. But in all honesty, I will be comfortable with whatever weight-- it mainly depends on the fact when my face starts to slim which it hasn't.

    I'm 5'5'' and my goal weight is 145. I'll adjust as I get closer. I don;t have a weight goal as much as a visual body composition goal.
