Are you 160lbs?

check this place out. it's a good way to do exactly what you're looking for. you can pick the height, clothing size, weight and body type and it'll show pictures people have submitted.

Something to keep in mind - different people carry their weight differently. So, you can have 3 people all the same height and the same weight -- and they will all look different. It just depends on where your body holds onto the weight.

I say once you get to 160lbs see how you feel and how you look. You might be happy and content or you may think to yourself "Eh. I need to drop a few more pounds". When I hit my goal of 150lbs, I was pleased that I got to that point AND I maintained it for quite awhile but I wasn't happy with how I looked, so I took the time to figure out how to drop another 5lbs or so. I really like 145lbs on me more than 150lbs which seems silly since it is only 5lbs, but for my body at this point - 5lbs DOES make a difference.

Hi there! All of the pictures in my profile are 160 ish I believe (and I am 5'5")... I just recently dropped down to 155 and I don't have any pictures yet. However, it IS all about how you carry your weight, and more importantly, how you feel at that weight!

I know this is old... but I'm around 163 at 5'6"

As you can see I carry most of my weight in my top half.

Hope this helps.

How about having a goal BF% rather than goal weight....arbitrary scale weight is going to look completely different on different people...you can have a completely different body composition. Just as an example...I'm 5'10" with around 19% BF and weigh about 180 Lbs...not too shabby, but my best buddy is the same stats and around 15% BF....he looks like he's ready to kill it on the beach. My other buddy is same stats and a body builder at around 9% BF...he looks competition ready.

^^ This exactly. You can weigh 160 and be lean and at a healthy BF% OR you can weigh 160 with the same BF% that you had at 175. You do NOT want that. BTW, I'm 5'8 and weigh 160.

I'm definitely not 160 pounds, but I was close to it in my BEFORE pictures. When I started here on MFP, I weighed mid-150's and was wearing sizes 12-16 depending on the brand and style. (I'm 5'5" for reference). I am currently 135 pounds and wearing sizes 4 and 6. I am still cutting fat because I am not where I want to be. I don't have a goal "weight" but rather a goal body fat percentage. I am around 22% with a goal of 16%. I think I might weigh 125 or so when I get there, not sure though.

Other people look trimmer and leaner than I do at that weight. Sarauk2sf is about that weight or slightly under it, but our bodies appear similar and our measurements are only slightly different (she's got a slightly larger booty according to what she's posted and I think a smaller waist). Just goes to show why weight is not necessarily the best measurement to go by. I look fat at 160 pounds, she looks awesome. I bet she'd look too skinny at my weight, too. We're about the same height.

I'm 5'6" and my ultimate weight loss goal as of now and the last few months has been 160lbs. Now I'm wondering if 160lbs will look unhealthy still. Obviously my body will look much more different than most peoples but I'd like to get a general idea of what 160lbs looks like. If you weigh this much or weigh close to this much, could you pretty please post a photo? (Height included.)

Thank you all so, so, so much.

How do you mean unhealthy? Like too skinny or too fat? A average girl at 5'6" and 160 will be a little curvy but look very healthy to men. That said, you may be able to get down to 140, 130 depending on your frame. You might be able to rock a bikini at 160 but maybe not. My wife looks very sexy to me at 160 and she's 5-7.

Not yet, 174.4 but I hope to reach 160 this summer
