For all the 5'5 ladies!

I'm 5'5 1/2 too! I can't exactly say I'm 5'5 because I'm not, and I'm not 5'6 either, so it puts me in a little bit of a pickle! I'm 132 right now, but have a small frame. It's too much weight for me. So I'm looking to get down to 120 or maybe even 115ish if all goes well. 5'5ers unite!

Yay! I was hoping someone would post about us 5'5" gals! My current weight is 152lbs and my goal is anywhere between 135-140lbs. I weighed 128lbs when I graduated high school and honestly, I looked sick. No way I am ever doing below 130 again. My goal is to tone up the badonkadunk :laugh: and legs mostly. I used to play soccer so I have larger leg muscles but I need to get them back in shape again.

Good luck ladies on your journeys!! Feel free to add me

I'm 5'5 too! My goal is to weigh 140 (I felt my best there). Currently I weigh 161. Yay for quitting smoking, nah on the weight gain. Let's do this ladies!

Hi everyone! I'm 5'5" and have ranged in my weight drastically. When I was in middle school I ballooned up to the 170's and have been about a steady 150 for the past 5 years or so. That's mostly just a guess, though, because I didn't step on a scale (minus the doctor's office) for about 10 years. I always tried to go by how my clothes fit, which I realize now is not a good method to only judge my health by. I'm currently at 140 and am not sure how low I will be able to go. I have an athletic frame and don't know how I will look 10-20 lbs down from now. My goal weight is 120, but I'm going to judge how I look. The first 10 lbs fell off very quickly, but my loss is also slowing down (which is frustrating). I know this is a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix, but I would like to see some results for my work!

Also, I'm getting married in 3 months, so that is a huge reason as to why I'm trying to get in shape right now.

I'm about 5'5, but with my love of ridiculously high heels, I pretend to be much taller.

I was a twig in high school and my early 20s, then settled at around 140 or so when I started dating my husband and got married. A little more than I wanted to weigh, but not over enough to fuss about. Maintained comfortably there for a few years, then gained 20# when I became depressed after losing my job and both parents within a little over a year. :frown:

Originally, my goal was 135, but I bumped it down to 130 when I didn't see much change in my body after the first 10 -12 pounds. Currently at 138, and I've seen more changes in the last five than the first 15 or so! :happy:

So at this point, I'd like to shed few more and tighten up a little, but I'm not going to kill myself over it or be in any rush. When I got under 140, I changed my target to lose .5 a week. Some weeks I've lost more than that, some not at all. And that's ok.

I'm 5'5 too...My highest weight was 197 lbs. I am currently 176lbs lost 9 lbs since joining MFP. My goal weight is 140lbs when I reach there I will re-access things...I use to be 120 before kids but I think that was a bit too low for my medium frame

hey ladies im right there with ya! im 5'5 but just barely lol. My starting weight was 150 and currently i am 131.8 my goal is 125 but right now im trying to work on toning and losing inches.

Yay 5'5! Me too! I hate that regular pants are not long enough but longs are too long! I hit my highest on my wedding (Aug "09) at 169...saw my wedding pics and said "NO WAY!" I got down to 139 in early December '10, and then went off to Hawaii. Now I am fluctuating around 145 since January.... I really can't seem to shake these last 10ish lbs! My goal is to be just in 130s. Does anyone believe in a weight that your body will stay at regardless what you do? I am getting the feeling that my body doesn't want to lose anymore... UGH!

Wow- lots of us 5'5''ers. Me too at 5'5'' and 3/8ths- they're very important, heh. Starting weight was 140, now I'm around 130 (gave my scale away to a friend 2 weeks ago and am trying to see how long I can "weight" it out 'til I break and buy a new one). Goal for me is around 125 I think, or even my weight right now as long as I can lose a bit more fat and gain some lean muscle I'll be thrilled at whatever weight that turns out to be.

and to think i thought i was alone! hooray for being 5'5! It's funny, because i always thought that it was super tall. (my mom is 4'11, my dad was 5'3!) its hard for me to think of it as a normal height! I am 115, just looking to maintain, tone up a bit, and be a lot healthier.
