Any Women Who are 5'6??

I am 5'6" athletic built: 115 pounds with 14% BF.
the healthy range is between 112 to 150 depending on your body type and shape.
so do what works for you and what makes you healthy.

I'm 5'6'', I'm about 145lb right now, lowest I was at was 112, but I had a 4 year lack of periods and other health issues until I gained some. So right now I am at 145ish, but I am looking at a goal of 125, 120. I would see when I get closer to there.

I am 5'6" and I think my goal weight is 135lbs. I can only remember being 138. I got as high as 173 (yuck) and in size 13 jeans. I am now 150lbs and size 8/9. I feel a lot better, but I want to lose some more and just get toned. I don't think a certain weight will be my goal, I just want to feel good about myself.

I am! Right now my goal weight is 190. After that, I'm sure I will set another goal.

I know you have lots of replies, but I have enjoyed reading all of them! I'm 5'5.5" (close enough!) I currently weight 133.5 but have NO idea what my goal weight is. I'm focusing on strength training right now. My goal is to have flat abs. I still have small love handles and a bulge under my belly button I'm trying to make go away. So I want to lower my body fat % for now, I have no idea how much muscle I'll gain or what the final number on the scale will be, I just want to be sexy and healthy!

Im 5'6" and 135. I want to be 118lbs (one pound less than eight and a half stone... dont ask lol). Ive had three kids in three years though so Im not thinking its going to be particularly easy but thats my ideal goal.

I'm just a touch under 5'6"...5 foot five and three quarters, to be exact! I just go ahead and assume I'm 5'6". Anyway, I was the same height all throughout high school and weighed 100-115 lbs throughout. At the time, I felt fat, though not as much as I do now. Anyway, looking back at pictures, I think I looked amazing at that weight, though maybe a little too skinny. Then I found out that my classmates' mothers were seriously concerned about me and said they thought I was suffering from anorexia in high school!!!!! So I do not resolve to get back into high school weight, since with my tiny bird-bones, I look sickly apparently at that weight! I am 144 lbs now (started at 150) and am shooting for anywhere between 125-135 lbs, depending on how much flab I get rid of and how toned I look!

I'm in Australia, so I've had my converter open while I've been reading all these posts. :huh:

I'm 5'5 (165cm) and when I got married in June 2009 I was 110lbs (50kg), since then with medication changes I went up to 138 (63kg)

Now I'm happy to be aiming at 121 (55kg) because I wanted to get more definition to my (little) muscles.

AND can I say, it seems crazy to me that in Aus we tend to talk about losing 5kg, and that's a big accomplishment - in lbs that's like 11lbs, and so much more of an amazing sounding result.
Dress sizes are awesome too - in Aus we usually start from a size 6. At 110lbs I was a good size 8. So seeing you ladies reaching a size 4etc is crazy confusing to me...

I maintain my weight at around 138. I thought 131 was a great weight for me, but when I started working out seriously, I kept the same body fat but put on about 7 lbs. To do the things I want to do, 137-138 is the best weight for me.

im 5'6

i dont really have a goal weight but i am currently 105ish (some days 106) ... i was 103 but ive managed to put a little bit back on and im now too hungry all the time to drop back to 1200 even with exercise calories!

Geez, 106 lbs is TEENY TINY for 5'6"...I think the lowest healthy weight, according to BMI, at least, is like 115 lbs.

yeah i know... im supposed to be trying to get back there but its taking time because im not comfortable getting to that weight...

i started losing weight at 126 and my highest weight ever is only 135 :S

I'm 5'5.5", and I'm aiming for 140-145 pounds here.

I know! I think a US6 is about an AU12.. Or something similar so a 4 is a 10 and so on..

im 5"6 i would love to get down to at least 135 but unfortunatley my chest weighs at least 14 pounds lol any lower than that and i would keep falling over i think lol x im currently 171 and so desperate to reach my goal but nothing seems to be working at the moment x

Wow how interesting. It sounds like most people are aiming from anywhere from 110 - 160 pounds. There is no perfect weight for everyone. It's whatever our body types allow. Personally I have a pear, soon to be hourglass shape so I carry alot of weight in my hips and thighs. I currently am 152 and my first goal is 140. I will see how I feel and keep taking it down another 5 pounds until I am satisfied and my body is able to maintain that weight. The lowest I ever got was when I was 14, I got to 125 after being sick and my ribs and hip bones stuck out quite far. Considering the fact that now I am 23, have C cups and am taller than I was at 14, I think 135-140 is probably more my ideal weight. Again, I won't know as it has been years since I have even seen the 150s! To me 125 sounds rather perfect, but I also don't want to get obsessed with my weight again.

Currently 145
Goal 130-135

I think it is important to be toned and strong, so if I look good and still weigh more than my goal weight, I will still be satisfied. Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. If you're not sure if your weight is due to muscle or fat, a good idea would be to keep track of body circumference measurements from your waist, hips, and thighs. But only measure about once a week. Daily you may fluctuate in measurements due to bloating and the amount of water you drink.
