5ft 6 ladies what's your goal weight?

My current goal weight is 140lbs, but I also want to add muscle, so maybe more 150lbs.

I'm 5 ft 7.

Start Weight: 197lb (14st)
Current Weight: 133lb (9st 7)
Goal Weight: 126 (9 st)

Feel relatively happy where I am now, as long as I stay between 126 - 133lb.

I am 5'6" and atm 128 lbs. Going to lose a few more lbs until I feel happy with myself and then just maintain.

I'm 5'6'', currently 165lbs and my goal weight is 135 but I may up that to 140. The last time I was 135 I remember I actually felt too thin and was uncomfortable X.x I couldn't sleep on my stomach because my hip bones were poking into the mattress LOL. But I've added strength training since then so who knows?

I'm 5'7" , so it's close. My starting weight was 231, my goal is a dress (size 8) hanging in my closet. I figure I will make that goal somewhere around 140 - 145 pounds... current weight is 184. Good luck!

Opppps, from the looks of it ... this forum may not be for the big girls (lol) ... I started at 303, down to 232 (today). and first goal is ONDERLAND ... from there if I make it to 179 and don't look sick (because I do TRULY have extremely large bones, my ortho said that my femur is one the largestest he's ever seen) I will be fine with that.
I don't think I will ever weigh 130s (fine by me tho).

I'm 5'6". My goal weight is 130. My cardiologist said that my heart may only be able to effectively support maybe 130 - 140 pounds maximum so I'm aiming for the low end of that. 115 is the actual low end of the healthy BMI range for 5'6" so I may end up striving for it. It depends on what my dr says at the time.

I'm here for the long term. I still have over 100 pounds to lose so if anyone needs a friend, you can add me. I log religiously.

I'm 5'6'', started at 183 and currently holding at 140. I would like to be somewhere around 130-135.

I am 5'6. I am currently 193 and have a goal weight of 145lbs. However, I am not as focused on the number. I don't want to commit myself to a number. I am trying to lose weight as well as tone up and look healthy. So, I guess my goal weight is flexible as long as I am truly happy!

Highest weight 210 not counting pregnancies, am currently 163, wearing size 8/mediums. Would like to get to 150.

First goal is 140. My low was 135 and I was still a little chubby. I'll probably settle around 115 as a final weight.

One goal at a time! I just made it into onderland, it's nice. I also don't see how 130s would work for me, although I'm being open minded. I want to find a weight I can maintain without sacrificing too much.

My goal is 150, but would not mind maintaining around 145. I do not want to go below 140. I did not like the way I looked when I was in my low-140s and in 130s

I'm 5'6" tall (shrunk from 5'7") and 140 lbs. My start weight was 205, dropped to 160, then back up to 188, then my goal was 145, but I re-evaluated once I got there, and decided on 140. I'm easing into maintenance with the goal of lowering my BF% a bit. It's currently 21% via hydrostatic weighing on March 30th. I'd like it to be 20% BF or less. My current size for pants is a 4 or 6 US. The 6 is getting too big in some brands now, and I need the 4s. Dresses seem to be consistently size 4. Tops are usually XS, sometimes S to accommodate shoulders. I don't put much stock in clothing sizes because I think a lot of stores are using vanity sizing. Measurements can be helpful, though seem dependent on body shape (most sources indicate I'm a pear shape).

Currently:
12.5" neck
40" shoulders
11" bicep right, 10.5" bicep left
6" wrist
34" bust
25.5" waist
37.5" hips (low around fullest part, almost top of thighs)
22.5" upper thighs (my most stubborn fat storage area, they have not shrunk that much even with 65 lbs gone)
13.5" calves

I think this is a good weight for me. I almost have no breasts left, so that is a deciding factor on not dropping lower. I also have a fairly prominent collar bone, some visible chest bones, some visible ribs, and very prominent hip bones. Much lower, and I think it would be too much. I wouldn't mind adding a little muscle to my upper body, and I will be working on that once I get cals to maintenance level, or slightly above.

Weight on the scale doesn't mean as much to me as how I look and the BF%, so if weight goes up with lower BF%, I won't care.

I think that goal weights are really very individual and depend a lot on body shape, where we tend to store fat (ruler, pear, apple, etc.), and possibly skeletal size. Some ladies have really delicate bones, and that looks super feminine, and those ladies often look better at lower weights in a range. Some ladies seem to have much larger bones (wrists/ankles) and often look better at a little higher weight in the range, and many look very athletic when at a slightly higher weight.

I say set a goal about half way to where you think you want to land. Once you meet it, re-evaluate. Then do that again. Once you meet it, re-evaluate.

I wish you luck with your goal setting and goal achieving!
