Replies

5'5" here and goal was initially 145. Reached it and now my doctor would like to see me lose another 15 to 25.0

My goal is 125 and I am currently 138 at the age of 41. The thing is for me, I was 100 pounds when I got married, yes, way too skinny. My thinking is, as long as I exercise and eat a fairly healthy diet (which is very hard for me) the actual weight doesn't matter. Once I hit 39, my metabolism totally changed and that is when I gained my weight. Keep in mind, I do triathlons and average 6 hours of cardio a week but ice cream is a weakness and I don't do a lot of fruits and veggies!:laugh:0

Age 44, 5'5.5" goal weight 145 for now--but think I'd really like to be 138-140.
In college I was 133 but was swimming/lifting weights 3-5 hours a day.
I was 140 before getting pregnant 14 years ago.
And currently I am at 152 and size 10/12. I really want to know what brand of clothes those of you who are in 4/5 or 5/6s wear. :>0 -
128 lbs, because for some reason that exists only in my head, I MUST WEIGH LESS THAN 130 lbs to be happy.
(I used to hold at 124 lbs, but I look sort of like a meth head with inexplicably good teeth at that weight.)
I'm a gym rat and weight train on the heavy side.0 -
5'6'' my goal is anywhere from 125-130 but that may change as I plan on starting a lifting program.0
-
i'm a little over 5'6....closer to 5'7. My goal weight was 145, but I recently hit the 148 mark and still have a lot to go I realized. My new goal is 140, but with muscle!0

I am 5'6" 50yrs old , my goal is 148, I am at 152 now so only a few more lbs to go I knowbit is silly but I want to get below 1500

5'5''
Goal is ~114 lbs
Will re-evaluate how I feel when I get there.0 -
I am 5'6" my goal is 145. I need to lose 12 LB. my frame is average.0
-
I'm 5'6" and my goal is somewhere between 112 and 109. I'm young and have very small hips, and all my weight gain is in my stomach and thighs so while I don't weigh that much, I don't have a great body. I plan to build up more muscle after that though, so my final goal will be a more muscular 118 or so. That seems low, but I have a small frame so a little extra fat really shows.0
-
MY goal is 145. Last time I weighed that much or that little.. lol I was around size 7/80
-
160. Because it's a weight I know I can maintain, and I can always reevaluate once I get there and see if I want to keep going. I have a stockier build anyway, so when I get down below 140, people start telling me I look ill.0
-
I'm 20 years old and 5'5 and my goal weight is 130-135....no higher than 145!!!0
-
5'6 - My goal for right now is 150. That will put me on the very uper edge of a healthy BMI, and health is what I'm focused on right now.
Of course, I'd also like to look better, but the thing is that I was never overweight until the past few years, and I was around 145-150 my Freshman year in college, even when running a LOT because I was in Navy ROTC. So, I really don't know that going any lower would be a goal for me. I think at one point during high school I was 135, but that's the lowest I can remember being since puberty.0 -
I am 47 - 5'5" and shrinking:) My goal weight is 135 based on my previous weight before kids.
I think I will decide if I need to adjust that once I get closer. I tend to build muscle when I work out, so it may not be realistic anymore. As long as I feel fit and feel good in my clothes, I think that will determine my end weight.0 -
Just reading this thread shows how different we all are
I'm 5'5½, and my highest weight was 146 which for me was really big. I'm currently 138 and hoping to get down to somewhere between 125 and 130. Sometimes when I see photos of people on here around my height and they say they're like 160 or 170 I think "no way, you're way smaller than me"!
I think a lot of it is down to frame, genetics, body composition etc and everybody needs to find their own weight that they feel well and look good at!0 -
155 just like you. I chose it from a couple of factors. I was my healthiest most toned in high school and was never able to maintain a weight below 150. I have a high muscle content with medium build at 5' 6". I don't want to be anorexic and right now at 174 I'm wearing a size 8 jeans which according to a lot of sites is already a healthy core size. I was 245 pounds when I started and wanted to be realistic of a weight I have a proven albeit short track record of being able to maintain.0
-
199. I can't look beyond that right now. Maybe I'll want to lose more weight when I get there, but who knows. I don't see myself ever being on the "ideal" weight charts, but if I look and feel OK, I won't care.0
-
Because I started lifting, I eventually said goodbye to the scale and got some calipers and a measuring tape. I weigh about 15 pounds more than my original goal weight, but I look and feel amazing, and that's because muscle just takes up less space than fat.0
-
5'6, goal weight is 120lbs. But as I'm getting closer, I may lower it a bit. Or just keep doing what I'm doing and let whatever happens happen.0
