I wanted to start a 5'5 support thread because I think it's such a funny hieght to be... Not tall or short just kind of in between.
I'm not sure if there are any specific needs for 5'5 women, but I think its easier to relate to those with the same hieght on this weight loss journey
Soooo with that said, I'll introduce myself.

hw - 140
sw - 130
cw -120
gw - 115
I'm trying to lose weight because I'm training to be an actress and its a really image conscious industry. With good reason- the camera really does seem to add weight! On top of that, I love feeling healthy and being aware of my body. I want to make long term changes so I can age well and enjoy my silver years too!
I'm looking forward to sharing photos, NSVs, support, and whatever else comes up in this group. Welcome!!

Well I always thought I was 5' 6" but when I got weighed on one of those scales that tells you your height aswell, it said i was only 5' 5". Gutted! Not sure whether I have shrunk or been delusional all of my adult life lol. Anyway, I am currently about 142 and want to be about 125-130. Hard work!!0

5'5" girl here!
SW: 178 lbs.
CW: 152 lbs.
GW: Around 135 lbs. give or take
I was 145 in high school and I want to do better than that! Good luck to all of you.0 -
I'm right between 5'5" and 5'6". I can never really get an accurate reading, so I mostly just say I'm 5'5" now so that I don't have to be measured. I've got a small frame, but I'm extremely obese, so I've got a lot to lose. Thankfully, though, I'm burning through it and I'm already comfortable with the lifestyle changes I've made. My goal is to get somewhere between 120-145, after I tone up a bit, and I'm currently 387.4 lbs. Feel free to add me!0

I am 5'5"! :-)
sw - 177.6
cw -167.8
gw - 145
I am sick of being fat, period. I'm sick of being uncomfortable. I want to tone up and lose lbs. I have a one and a half year old and she keeps me on my toes. I want to be physically active and enjoy it.0 -
Me too!!0

I stand 5'5 1/2'' but usually round up to 5'6''...I'll join in on this, though.
Right now, I weigh 120 pounds, down 3 pounds in the last month or so. I'd like to lose a few more - I think I'd be happy at 118. I typically wear a US size 4, although the pants have been a little saggy lately because I've lost 2'' off my midsection!0 -

Hey! We have the exact same goal/same current weight. :-D0 -
hehe! I'm 5'5.5"! So... right smack in this weird height range. Sometimes people think I'm short, sometimes they think I'm tall. Do you guys ever get that?0

I am 5'5 also with a goal weight of 145 - a long way to go for me. But with some encouragement from this site I may make it.
Before this site 197
CW 192
1st goal under 190
2nd goal 160
Dream weight 1450 -
5'5" here too! When I was thin and athletic I was a perfect size 9 at 130 pounds. Now an 18 and 200 pounds I would love to be the former.
After all these years I discovered I have been wearing the wrong jeans. I tried on a pair of 18 short Levis and they made a world of difference. I never bought a short before but this shape hit me in all the right places for the first time since gaining weight. Just sayin ya might try it out if you never did.
Oh and I'm a medium frame.

Yay for the 5/5ers!!! (I'm a half inch shy, but I'll join you!)
I'm in the low 130's right now and striving to reduce body fat. Anyone else with this goal?0 -
I'm 5'5 and at my goal weight which is between 110-115. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!
(oh I have a very small frame)
Happy dance!0 -
Yup, 5'5' here, not tall, not short. My highest weight was 149. That's when my doctor told me that I had gained weight through my 30s and if the trend kept up, I would be overweight in my 40s, when it would be harder to take the weight off. I lost 8 pounds that year, and then my friend introduced me to MFP and I lost 25 pounds in 5 months and have stayed on to maintain. I've been on MFP for a year now and I weighed in at 117 yesterday. My 40th birthday is in July and I will not weigh 140 when I turn 40! I believe this really works if you stick with it.0
