    I'm 5'5.5", 28 years old. I have a small frame. SW: 139, GW: 118-123 and actually be able to maintain it. I would like to know my current BF% though, and then figure out where to go from there. I also want to run faster and be more fit all around. I don't know what the ideal weight for me is.

    My highest weight was 215. I started on here at 209, my CW is 155 and my goal is 145. The last 10 pounds have been a real ***** to lose!

    Same here goal is 140 and the last 10 are awful to lose.

    I'm 5'6 as well and always considered myself to have a medium to large frame. Even a physical therapist commented on how ginormous my rib cage is :( There's like an inch space between my ribs and hips :sad: :laugh:

    SW: 190lbs
    CW: 179lbs
    GW: 145-150

    The last lightest weight I remember being was in 135 in like middle school and I was really muscular and didn't weigh myself again until senior year when I packed it on after getting injured so I think 145-150 would be a good place for me to start. I think the close I get the better I'll be able to tell. Most people tell me it looks like I only need to lose 10-15lbs but looks can be very deceiving. I hide it well apparently....until I step out in that bikini ;P

    Height between 5'6 and 5'7
    Starting weight 255
    Current weight 253 (just started)
    Goal Weight between 150-160

    Got down to 185 the last time that lost weight, but then job changes/life/lack of motivation hit and i gained back everything that i had lost, now to start all over again - but motivation and support is awesome!

    I'm just over 5'6". Highest weight was 169, and I didn't step on the scale again until I knew I would see a lower number!

    CW: 132ish
    GW: 116ish

    I have narrow shoulders, a curvy body, and tapered limbs. Very narrow ribcage. I've been lower that 116 as an adult (and I was as fit as I was tiny!), but this was the easiest to maintain over the years.

    I'm that awkward height between 5ft 5 and 5ft 6 - 5ft 5.6 inches exactly.

    Starting Weight (gulp) - 297lbs
    Current Weight - 237.4lbs
    Goal Weight - 140lbs - But, to be honest, whenever I am happy and healthy and can sustain my weight properly. I'm not that fussed about the scales.

    We are similar... I am that awkward height between 5ft 4in and 5ft 5in....

    Starting weight: 308 lbs
    Current weight: 227 lbs
    Goal weight: 130-140 lbs (when I like the way I look in my jeans)...

    I have a large frame so
    SW 203
    CW 183
    GW 145 to 138
    just depends on how much body fat I lose as I'm pretty slim at 153 and running and weight training may significantly change what I look like at 153

    <---- I'm 5'-6.5" and just hit my goal weight this morning of 125 lbs!

    EDIT- just to add, I guess I would say I have a medium frame? I'm not really sure how you know that.

    Just had a full physical done for the first time in a long while (had difficulty finding a new doctor after mine closed her practice) and after years of thinking I'm 5'5" it turns out I'm actually 5'6"! :)

    At my heaviest I hovered around the 190lbs mark
    When I joined MFP I weighed 170lbs
    Currently weigh: 144lbs (as of yesterday)
    Goal: Would like to get under the 135lb mark but it really is dependent on how I feel. I"m pretty happy with where I am but am focusing more on toning and improving my endurance in preparation for a 1/2 marathon in September :)

    I'm 5'6 and when I joined here I was 196lb

    Before I had my first baby I was about 140lb, after I was 200lb but managed to lose it all and get down to a healthy 135lb......

    After my second child I weighed over 200lb and thats what I'm losing now! My goal weight is 135lbs!
