Weight loss goal for 5'5 females?

I am 5'5 and currently 132lbs after losing 18lbs since February 2014. I know I can lose more and hoping to hit at least 125lbs by June. I was wondering what the goal weight of fellow 5'5 ladies is or what a good weight being 5'5 would be? Thanks :)

    How did you lose the weight - did you go to the Gym too?

    I'm 5'5 and currently 148. My goal is 125!
    I was about 111-115 for a bit in high school, and that was too little on my frame. 2 years ago-ish I was 129 after I did p90x and Insanity, and that was a really good weight for me

    According to your height of 5' 5" your ideal healthy weight is 134 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 119 and 149 pounds.

    Nope, only thing I did was eat 1200 calories a day and only drink water (8 glasses a day)

    Keep in mind that bone structure and muscle mass will play a role....I go more by how I feel too.. I am also 5'5" and at 145 lbs (yes I used to be that weight and now need to lose another 50 lbs to get there) I looked very thin...and was wearing a size six. My chest bones were starting to cave in at that point and I would not have looked healthy had I gone any smaller....just something to keep in mind.

    I'm 5'4" and my current goal is set at 130 lbs. Although I am not ultimately aiming for a number on the scale. I will adjust my goal as I get closer based on my health and fitness. If I get to 140 and I'm happy with myself, then that's where I'll stay.

    Im 5'5 and Im at 155 and my goal is 130. I have FF boobs so too skinny just doesnt look right on me. I got to 127 in 2011 and people said I looked like I was too skinny or sick so this time Im getting to 130 and then toning up. I think everyone even at the same height, might have different body types/goals

    I'm between 5'5 and 5'6.
    My goal is 136 lbs.
    My plan is to drop to ~133 before going into maintenance to give myself a bit of wiggle room while I figure it out.
    Once I hit maintenance I hope to continue with a slow body recomp, as I continue lifting and running.

    Almost 5'6 and currently hovering around 161....having a hard time breaking 160. I'd like to be 140 by July and ideally 130-135, however, I haven't seen myself at that weight in a long time, so I will reassess at 140.

    I just found out i'm 5'5 lol I always thought I was 5'6, that extra inch meant a lot to me. But my goal weight is 140-150lbs. I've never been that tiny before, but I'm hoping that I'll have a good amount of muscle mass before I hit my goal weight.

    I'm between 5'5" and 5'6" and right not my goal is set at 140 and see how I look and feel, my ribs stick out some so getting too thin won't look good on me.

    Yikes. I'm 5'5 1/2 and I couldn't dream of getting to that low a weight. I guess I'm a little muscular, just from my job and cycling to and from work. I'm not doing weights. I'm aiming for 145, perhaps maybe 140...but I doubt I'll want to go that low.

    I'm 5'5" and back when I lost a bunch of weight I was down to about 145 and people started saying it's too much weight loss and that I was looking unhealthy, which I agreed with. Once I put a bit on and was around 155 I was happy with that. The only problem was I kept going lol.

    I'm 5'6 and currently weigh 141. My goal is 130 lbs and then I will see if that is sustainable and reasonable. My lowest weight was about 120 and I looked fine at that weight but I know it is just not do-able for me at this stage of my life.
