    Hi, Im nearer to 5'5 and my goal was 147 but when I got there I thought I could lose some more so trying for 135 but tbh I dont think I would suit any less than that, There can definitely be a huge variance in weights for the same height,

    Hello,

    I am new here too. I'm about 5'6" maybe and a 1/2". I'm 51 and the heaviest I've ever been in my whole life. I would be happy to be back to 170 but would love to see 150 or 140. I can't wrap my head around losing that much weight. It is hard to do the older you get. I love seeing pics of women/people as they lose. I know besides health reasons, appearance is great motivation and the variety of people here is great. I wish you all the luck and perseverance and hope i can hang in there and lose with everyone!
    You can do it! I joined here a couple of months before my 49th birthday. I'm 50 years old and about 30 pounds lighter now, and it's the smallest I've been in about 30 years. It's never too late. :heart:

    I'm 5'6"
    My goal weight is 125-130
    I am at 135 now

    I don't mind 130-135 so long as I get toned. It really isn't all about just height and weight. It's also about body frame and build. Maybe next time you go in for a physical you can talk to your doctor about a good percent body fat goal. That is what I'm doing on Friday.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is 140... However I would be happy at 145 if I am toned and, most importantly, fit into the jeans that have been hanging out in my closet gathering dust for the past couple of years!!

    The lowest weight I can remember being (after puberty!) is 137.. I was quite thin then (though still didn't think so), still could've toned up though, so I guess I could potentially be 135 but definitely not lower than that.

    My current weight is around 150, body fat is at 27% (down from 159, 29%)

    i'm 5'7" and my goal is 150. i was anorexic for a point in my life, and my lowest weight was still only 135lbs. i looked sick and bony, even though i wasn't the traditional 95lb girl you see displayed for eating disorder posters, and it's because i am tall, and have a large frame and heavy bone mass. currently, i am 174lbs.

    I am 5' 6'' and weigh 175, lost 7 pounds since I started here. My goal is 145. I got down to that a few years ago and thought it looked pretty good.

    Im 5ft6.5 .....Like someone eles said I lost half an inch somewhere lol ....Im currently at 136 goal weight 135 but I intend to start more toning and muscle building so Im guessing I won't be staying at 136 for long :sad: I can totally handle gaining a few pounds as long as my body looks more toned :smile:

    I'm 5'6 I'm looking at a goal weight of 135 - I used to be 145 and felt I was soooo close to perfect :) So 10lbs lower should be a perfect goal!

    I'm 5'5'' and 3/8ths- yep those 3/8ths are important. Currently 130, goal weight 125- but more than getting down to the goal weight, I'd like to gain muscle as I'm losing.

    I'm 5'6" and currently 155. I'm uncomfortable with this weight because its not evenly distributed. I started gaining around my middle when I quit smoking 3 months ago. I was 140 then and comfortable to be so. However, I was 130 before I had kids.

    My goal now is 138

    Hi
    I'm 5'6' and am aiming for 147llb (or 10s 7llb for those old fashioned Brits out there.However at my current 154llb my figure is getting to be what I want as I have been exercising 3 times a week at the gym-which at frst I hated as I thought I shouldn't have to exercise as I am quite busy most of the time.Its not the same tho.Aim to get into a pair of jeans that you might not be able to at the moment-I am trying to train my brain to look at the physical results and not just what the scales tell me.
    A lot depends on your frame size so as long as you are in a healthy weight range for your height and you are look at all the benefits of dieting(not just the weight loss itself) you will be fine.Keep going you are doing so wel already.

    I have just read the post above mine-if I weighed 125 I would look ill-it all depends on your own build.
    Be realistic and be happy!!
