    I'm 5'6", 34 years old, started at 187 and currently 158....my first goal is 155, then I would love to get in the 145ish range...I can't imagine what it would be like to be in the 130ish range..and I am afraid I will look too thin. But, I will see how I feel and look in the clothes as I get closer. In my pic (taken today) I am wearing a 13/14 in Maurice's jeans...I have always carried it in the hips/butt/thigh area. I have 11/12's to get into and I will be excited.

    I'm 5'5 and my goal is 140. I'm 146 at the moment. I may or may not change my goal upon getting there but if I do it'd be a more of a strength and inches lost goal.

    I'm 5'6, in the low 130s and aiming for 125. I feel uncomfortable at anything over 140 but have never been 'overweight' so I have no idea what it would look like on my frame or anything. I just go with what I feel.

    I am 47 years old and 5" 6 , my goal weight was 145 and I now weigh 138...I'm continuing to workout and eat healthy so I will see where my body is comfortable, probably around 135.

    I am aiming for 138lbs. That's where I felt my best in the past.

    I'm 5'5 1/2" and I'm looking to be around 125-130 with a low BF% and gaining more muscle. So I might end up 130 or more depending on my weight training and how much muscle I can gain. 130-135 is around the weight of a fitness model so I'm striving for something around there. :glasses:

    My ideal goal weight would be 118-120.

    I'm aiming for 125, and I'm 5'5". I'm not really sure though, since I started eating not-so-well and gaining weight when I started puberty, and so I've never really seen myself as an adult at a healthy weight with my fully developed body shape. So we'll see. Maybe something higher will be better.

    I'm 5'5 and my goal is to be around 140. Any lower than that and I look too thin.

    I'm 5'5" and my first goal is 140. From there I may change it to 130-135. My doc says I should be 125. We'll see how I feel when I get to each number.

    154

    I'm about 5' 6". I just want to get to a normal BMI, and then take it from there. :smile:
    Yes, same for me! I am 5'6'' and my absolute major priority is getting to 185 and out of the obese range BMI. Then, I'll think about shooting for 154 and in the normal range. I've always been heavy so less than that doesn't even compute for me.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal weight right now is 140. I have a medium frame so anything under 130 would make me look emaciated. There are so many things that come into play when it comes to a 'goal' weight. Build and frame are two important ones. Also, everyone carries their weight differently too. I say, whenever you feel your sexiest, that is probably your ideal weight. :)

    My doctor told me the same thing!!

    Mid 50s here and 5'5". Goal weight is 135 and might reevaluate when I get there. (Only 5 lbs to go but it isn't happening fast =( ) Present weight is the same weight I was in my late 20s.

    I'm 5'6", but as old as dirt, so the days of 120-130 are gone. Shooting for 139, cuz that sounds better than 140!

    I am 5'6 and currently weigh 130. I wear a 4 or 6 in most pants, 28 inch waist. I have a high body fat percentage so I am really focusing on lifting weights to build muscle and burn fat. The actual number on the scale doesn't matter to me that much. There are so many women here on MFP that are my height and weigh more than I do and look a lot thinner and more in shape than I do since their body fat percentage is lower :). I guess if I had to pick a number, I'd say 120 would be a good goal for me.

    I'm 5'6" and 110. Always struggled to gain weight. Small bust/hips. My goal is to loose my tummy and gain weight in pure gold muscle. :P I don't want to just "eat a cheeseburger" like a lot of ppl say. I just want to be healthy and fit!

    5'5 and want to be anything under 140... I don't care if it is 139.9!!! I think my body wants to be in the low 140s but my "happy weight" is 135 but I know that is not sustainable...
