    I am 5'6" and my new goal weight is 190 - 195. I know I will feel best at that weight :) I am in the process of building some muscle so it will take a bit longer but I will get there this year!

    I am 5 foot 6 inches and my goal weight is 160 and then re evaluate. I have been over 200 lbs for over 20 years, so my real goal is to be healthy. I have been exercising for over a year, and I have lost to 173-175. I think for me to hit the weights on the charts might be unrealistic at 59 years old.

    5'6" Goal 128 lbs. I'd love to see those numbers. But I think my body is fighting that pretty hard. I can't seem to get under 132. Blah.

    5'6", starting weight at about 140 lbs, current weight 130 lbs, goal weight 120 lbs. I'm not very muscular (and probably never will be), so a lower weight is fine for me. :)

    154

    I'm about 5' 6". I just want to get to a normal BMI, and then take it from there. :smile:

    I was thinking all these 5'6" people with goal weights of 120 were good and that my goal of 150 was too high. Then I saw this. I'm 5'5" and my goal is 150, which will put me right in the normal BMI range. I'd like a little cushion tho, so we'll see what happens after I get there

    I'm 5'5" and my goal is 140. I don't really know what that will look like but I'm aiming for a UK size 12. I'll adjust as I get nearer to goal (I expect I'll be one size larger "on top!"

    I am 5'4 I don't have a goal weight. My goal is to get to 20% body fat and take it from there. The number on the scale matters not :)

    I am 5'5". My surgeon said 130, but I think 150 is much more realistic. I am 57, have had two kids and been through menopause. I haven't seen 130 since I was 20. I have a large frame. I am shooting for 150.

    I'm five foot five and a quarter and am 54. I'd be satisfied with 129, happy with 126 and delighted with 121, though 121 is probably a bit underweight.

    I am 5'6" and need to alter my OR - I don't care anymore what I weigh. I think I will know when I am there. Right now I am a size 12 and would love to go back down to a 10. Once there I may strive for an 8 but for now I am concentrating on lifiting weights and burning off a few calories with cardio when I am feeling it.

    I love having a little curve and if that means a higher scale reading I am ok with that.

    I'm 5'6 and I was really happy at 150 once but I'd ultimately like to be 135

    I am 35% body fat right now and I want to be 18%- 20%. I have a large frame and build muscle easily so my ideal weight could be anywhere from 160 to 180 I guess. I really don't know though. I am gonna reevaluate my goals every 25 lbs I lose. I don't want to get stuck on a number that isn't realistic for me.

    I am 5'5 and I have been maintaining 129/130 for over a year. It is constant work with the calorie counting and walking daily 4-7 miles per day. I am 50, menopausal, and can not imagine going any lower.

    The goal on my ticker is set to 150, which was my initial goal when I started losing weight. But at this point, I'm much more concerned with my body composition and getting to a place where I feel and look great. Not sure what my weight will be when I get there, and I don't really care.

    ETA: I'm 5'6".
