    I am 5'5" and my goal is 165. I have a large frame (on a short body! LOL) Anything under that I look gaunt and anorexic. By the way @165, I LOOK like it's 145. So it's all good. :happy:

    Im 5'6"...current weight is 138 . My goal weight is 125...to be serious though..I started at 156, and I don't think i was over-weight then...just wanted to feel healthier.. 150 is a good weight for your height. Don't stress it..

    I'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 135. I want to be toned and defined and I think that 135 was the best I ever looked--not too skinny and not too big.

    My goal weight is 150 , I get anything below that and I start to look unhealthy and gaunt. I have an athletic build. I have been as low as 145 since I stopped growing, but did not have my final growth spurt until I was in my twenties.
    I have been 150, I like 150 and that is where I want to get back to :)

    I'm 5'7". First goal was 150lbs, I'm at 142lbs and think I'll probably go to 135lbs, maybe.

    I'm 5'6", closer to 5'7". I am aiming for 150lbs. Right now I weigh about 191 to 195 depending on who's scale I use. I do not want to be real skinny, I love having curves!:happy:

    I'm 5'5' and my goal weight is 121lbs. I'm playing with the idea of 115lbs, but I want to see what I feel and look like at 121lbs first :)

    I am 5'6" and my goal weight was 130 pounds.

    I just made it and i hope to maintain 125 to 135 pounds.

    It all really depends on what size frame you are.

    5'6" and trying to get to 135. That's the best I've ever been and that was with serious muscle weight on me. I could leg press 1.5 times my weight and bench press half my weight. Boy, I looked good then. Not sure I can get back to that as I'm now in the post-menopausal, over 50 catagory with all its attendant problems of slowing metabolism, but I'm trying.

    Hi! I am 5'6", It is said that Anywhere from 130 - 140 is ideal for our height. Plus you have to take into consideration bone structure.
    I am not small boned, but neither am I large boned. My goal is 130. I am trying to get to 127, just because that is what I weighed when I got married!! but I've had 4 children and 1 on the way so I don't know if 127 will ever be possible.
    When you get to a weight were you are comfortable with yourself, then you have reached your goal!! Good luck!!

    I'm 5'5.5", is that close enough? :tongue:

    Currently, my goal is 130 pounds, but my main goal is single digit pant sizes (American). When I start heavy weight training this summer, the scale number isn't going to matter a whole bunch anymore.

    I'm 5' 6" and my goal weight is 140lbs. I once got down to 133lbs but everyone kept saying how thin I looked. I'll wait and see how I feel once i get there...
