Women 5"6-5"7..Goal Weight?

I've been wondering and if anyone will tell me, how much they weighed at a size 11?? I just bought some goal capris I so want to be in, in 2 months but I don't know if that realistic. I'm a 14 now, so I would think I could possibly do it. But since I can't pull them up over my hips and butt, it has made me quite nervous.

I'm 5'6, when I was in size 11s I was 145.

That's awesome that you bought goal pants...keep in mind that everyone's body is very different. For example, I am also 5'6" and was a size 8 at 158, everyone carries their weight/muscle differently. Keep up all the hard work and you will look great in your own body, at whatever size!

What you can do is calculate your BMI or body mass index. It will give you a good sense of where you should be at for a healthy BMI. I went to your profile and checked your current weight. around 180? I put it into a BMI calculator (which is also on this website) and it said your BMI is around 29. they are pretty accurate. My BMI is 23, recorded on websites and at the gym.

A healthy BMI is between: 18.5–24.9

A healthy weight for you would be 134-153lbs.

I'm just over 5'7" (169cm) with a small frame. My original goal weight was 140, but I don't really know anymore. I am at 148 right now and still have too much belly, so I will keep going until I have a flat stomach. I don't care how much I weigh anymore, but if I absolutely had to pick a goal weight, I'd like to be somewhere around 130. Also, I have a lot of muscle, so people tend to think I weigh less than I do, and I already get a lot of crap from other women, who think I should stop losing weight now, before I start to look "too thin" but I will finish when I'm happy, not when they are. That's the key here. You should stop when you are healthy and happy. Forget BMI and the scale and clothing sizes. Think happiness. I haven't lost 100 pounds just so I can quit while I'm still flabby.

I am thinking 135 so I could oscilate to 140 and get right back to 135. That is the fight of my life...

I'm 5'7" with a tiny frame, so my goal weight is 125. Anything under 130 I'm ok with.....125 would be ideal during swimsuit weather. I'm at 143 right now and carrying all my excess weight around my hip area, so while I have tiny arms, chest, and legs.....I still have big hips and a poochy belly to get rid of.

Interestingly, UK dress sizes have changed in the last 20 years- I used to be a size 14 at that 144 in the late 1980's (went into size 16 at 154) and had to be 136lbs to be a size 12, but when I got to 150 5 years ago with the help of a vlcd, I was easily a size 12.

You're absolutely right Rosy. They call it "vanity sizing". Basically they make clothes bigger because they sell the happy factor of people thinking they are a size that they are not. At 146 pounds I start to fit into some UK size 10s now, but I KNOW I'm not a true 10 yet.

I think that depends where you shop! Was a 16 at 150-175lbs (tightness of clothes varied,lol) and only went in to a 12 when I hit about 130. I get most of my clothes from H&M,Topshop, River Island and Zara etc. I try to go with european sizes now because they're way more accurate! But I would have LOVED to be a 12 at 150!

Do you think age matter? I'm 5'6" and I'm going for 140 but that's just because I've read that as the ideal range on several websites so I will see how my clothes fit and how I look in general. Just stick with your program and get back on track if you have a set back!

I'm 5" 7 1/2". I'm 43 years old. In 2006 I weighed 256. Last summer I got down to 142 but gained some weight over the holidays. Currently I am 147 but have set my goal to 129.

It's funny... Though I'm officially over weight, I'm not terribly unhappy with my body the way it is now. When I was 19 and weighed 130 lb, I thought I was fat.

I totally relate to this. I remember looking at my so-called belly fat when I weighed 125 and thinking I needed to lose it. Now my weight has fluctuated so much I think back to how clueless I was back then. And I don't think I look "too" bad. I definitely can stand to lose some weight, though. Anyway I know what your saying

I'm 5'6", and somewhere in between medium/large frame, I'm currently 147 lb. now, the skinniest I've been ever and even through my dietitian told me to ideally reach 143 lb (for a BMI of 22) I don't plan on getting that low, I feel fine with that weight

I am 5' 7.5", and my long-term goal is about 150-160. I have always been overweight, so I don't know what my type is! To be honest, I would be happy with pretty much anything but what I am now.

I'm 5'7.5 and a medium frame. My goal weight is 130ish. The lowest I've ever been in my "adult" life is about 125 and too many people said I was too thin, but it was a lot of outdoor physical labor and hiking, plus minimal sweets (was camped out for weeks on end), so it wasn't really an unhealthy weight to me. I'm only 138 right now, but it's the spare tire from having three kids in three years (hence the name) that I'm trying to get rid of. If I can get rid of that, keep it off and if I gain a few pounds back, I'm good with that. Just need to lose the spare tire/love handles. Good luck!

i'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 126...i've hit that weight before and looked fab...i tend to average out at 130 when i focus on toning more than cardio but it's ALL muscle and i miss being that small!

I'm 5"6 and my goal is 126lbs

For me, my goal is 160. I'm 5'7 and I'll be 40 in November so for me I think 160 will be great. I'm not looking to be a stick I'm actually looking forward to being healthy. I think that's the most important. What weight would you feel healthy at?
