5'5" - 5'6" women- goal weight?

Am 5'5 and my first goal is 150-145. And once there hoping to strive for 130s

5'5" current weight 130 maintaining for around a month aim to loose final 10 but in no hurry, working on building fitness, lowering body fat and putting in place long term healthy life style, rather than 'diet'

I am 5'6", turning 40 this year. Aiming for 130-135 (I have a smallish frame).

At 5'6" and 121 pounds, I'm thin but definitely not tooooo thin. I'm 24 and have a small frame, so it works for me. I wouldn't mind dropping down to 115-117 but I'm not actively trying for that. If it happens, it happens!

I'm 5'6" with large frame (per wrist test) and 59 yrs old....my personal goal weight is 154-155 lbs. Once there, I may re-look at things. I am focused on lowering BF% to 29% and having leaner muscle mass.

i'm 5'6" and my goal is around 140 with a body fat % of roughly 24%

I'm 5'6" 1/2 and aim for 130-135lbs (but comfortable at 140).

I started off using using online weight charts (For height, gender & body frame) and they suggested 120-150. That is a bit vague & it's not always easy to figure out your body frame or muscle:fat ratio. You could be 150lbs of muscle or 120lbs of fat.

I go more by how I've looked at different weights by using photos.

120lbs - 27" waist - Too skinny, boney & scare crow-like. No *kitten* or boobs.
130lbs - 28" waist - Slim/athletic with slight curves.
140lbs - 29" waist - Slim with some curves.
145lbs - 30" waist - Starting to get a belly & untoned look.
148lbs - 31" waist - Starting to look bulky or chubby. Waist is gone, upper arms getting flabby.

I find the best thing is to go by what you see in the mirror. If you see some pudge, some bones, or places that could use some muscle or definition, then go by that I've also used sizing charts in clothing catalogues or websites to see what measurements I should be (i.e. I see which size I am closest to & use that as a reference).

I am 5'5", currently 170, would like to cut to 150. I'm still just over 25% fat, which is really what I wish to change the most. I don't care what size I am, I just want to see pictures of myself where I don't look old and chunky! ; )

And I am using HIIT, lifting, triathlons, zumba, and whatever else comes my way to do it! But weights 3 days/week!

ETA: I am 45 yrs awesome (not old)

im short pls add me

I'm 5'6". My original goal was 135 lbs. I've been there though and realized I could safely lose more. My sports med doctor recommended a goal weigh of 125 lbs. I have scoliosis, bad knees, and chronic pain, so he feels the less weight, the better, and I agree.

I got down to 126 lbs last year, and while friends thought I looked too skinny, I felt great at that point. I think anywhere between 125 lbs and 135 lbs is pretty good for me. And I think I can weigh a little more because I rock climb and I'm fairly muscular. At 135 lbs my body fat % was 19.5, which is considered within the athletic range for a woman. I wouldn't mind getting down to 16% or so.

I am 5'6", 45 years old, currently weighing 168. I would love to be 145-150, but I know that is unrealistic for me. Since I began struggling with thyroid issues (Graves Disease, now after treatment I'm hypothyroid) my energy levels are not where they used to be. I am aiming for 155 and will be perfectly content there.

Good luck to everyone!

I am 22 years old. I am 5'5" and currently 153. My goal weight is 125. I do have a smaller frame. My doctor said she would like me to be between 125-130. I just picked 125 because when I was 130 I looked a little chubby. But, I looked fine when I was 125.

Aiming for 130. Been there before, can get there again. Once there, I may go 120. Though once I get to 120, I'd like to get back up to 130 but via muscle and tone up; not adding fat%.

Depends on your frame and body shape. I am far from my goal weight now but when I was working at a gym, training every day and in the best shape of my life I was 165 and loving how I looked. I'm 5'6.5. I woudl give ANYTHING to be there again. SO I am slowly but surely on my way back there.

Good luck.

Hey. I find it hard to really KNOW what your ideal weight is or should be.
I am 5'5'', and I feel that I would be happiest between 160 and 165. However, my doctor says that for my height, I should be 115. Now, I have a larger frame. When I was taking medical assisting classes, one professor told me to get a better idea of what size bones I have, is to feel my collar bone. You know that part that tends to stick out? That part. She told me that some people have bigger bones, and some smaller. Well I have bigger, thicker bones. Meaning that if I drop to 115, it would look bad on my frame. She helped me figure out that being at 150 would probably suit me best. When in high school at a size 14, I was 180 pounds. So I figured another 20+ pounds would bring me down to a size 12, which is fine for me. But according to the BMI, 160 is still obese for my height. I hate that thing.
Hope this helps you in your journey.

Feel free to add me, us MFP gals need to stick together
