    I am 5'6, my CW is 172 and my GW is 142. Trying to lose some body fat and tone up. I'm just fighting this battle with my metabolism that seems to want to go into remission. Good luck everyone!!!

    5'5"
    SW: 212
    CW: 200
    GW: 135 (or around there...haven't been less than 160 in my adult life so no idea what that will look like, but 160 still felt a bit cumbersome for me personally) :)

    I was in the same boat. I think I touched on 155 when I moved to the city and was walking/a bit poor. Super weird to get below it and now be smaller than I was in middle school. 135 is a great goal!

    I don't think I have an especially large frame, but I am pear shaped, which I don't mind. Right now I wear about a 14 on top and a 16 on the bottom. Would like to be in a size 10-12 pant.

    That's goal seems about right for 10-12 pant. I am pear shaped too and at 5'4" and 163 I'm pretty sure I was a size 12 pant. 10 on a good day. That was with about 44 inch hips.

    I'm 5'4 and weight around 145.

    I personally think 115 is a bit much for someone your height. When I was 128 I was too skinny. You're life, do what you want.

    SW: 162 (post-preg)
    CW: 141 (just stopped JIGGLING during exercise)
    GW: 125 (to start with)

    I was 5'6" and 116-118 for about a year and I wasn't too skinny. I was mostly 123 (with tennis shoes and T-shirt and shorts) and very athletic from about 8th grade through most of college, until I got sick at 128 at college graduation, except for the year I was 116-118. Then I was 123-135 for most of my adult life. At 135, I was decidedly pudgy.

    115 is well within healthy weight for 5'4".

    My GW is 125 for 5'6". If I can strengthen enough to lift from there, I'll mostly be focused on recomp. If I can't, then I'll lose a few more pounds.

    I think a lot of people have never seen themselves at an athletic body composition, so it looks strange or uncomfortable to them. At 128 lbs, even with muscle, as 2 inches over...noticeable pudge. Definite pudge. That's the weight that my stomach gets its first noticeable (to touch) pooch.

    CW: 138 lbs
    GW:128-125 lbs
    I find dropping weight past 130 to be near impossible and I don't technically work out so after the initial first 5 pounds its going to take a lot of commitment to dieting.

    GW: 140

    I know that's a bit heavier than a lot of women my height aim for, but I'm kind of large on top (broad shoulders as well as middlingly-large breasts) and inherited short legs with huge calf and thigh muscles from my father, so while I'll reevaluate when I hit goal, I worry that to get much lower than that I'd have to really struggle, and it would not look very good.

    I also have big breasts, broad shoulders and large calf muscles. My mom used to say that I had football player calfs. Too bad I don't play football!

    I'm 5'5", current weight 134, want to go down to 125. My lowest was 121 and I loved it but it wasn't sustainable. 125 I look good and feel ok about it, and prior to both babies, I was able to maintain.
