    I'm 5'7", and my current weight is 170 lbs (measurements: 40"-30"-40"), I'm thinking my goal is going to be somewhere around 130-140.

    I've never been thin before, so it's not like I have a specific weight I want to "get back" to. I'll be playing it by ear and seeing where I wind up in a happy, healthy place. :)

    I'm a smidge under 5'6 and currently just under 140. My goal for the end of the year/my wedding is 130.
    I've been as high as 165 and maintained around 150 for the last 5 years. I feel pudgy anywhere over 145, and feel generally ok once I get below 140, but feel my body looks best around 130...although it has been a while since I've seen that, and I've never been lower as an adult.

    My goal weight is 160. I have quite a bit of muscle from playing in a competitive women's field hockey league.

    The lowest weight I've ever been as an adult is about 150-154ish and I think I looked not too bad! I was still sturdy and curvy. This time I don't have a GW set in stone, it depends on whether or not I keep my boobs to be honest (they're pretty massive :/)! Haha. If I do I think I'll go for 135-140 and if I don't 130-135. So on my profile I've mentioned 135lbs as my GW just because it's the middle ground, but my plan is to see how I feel when I get there.

    I'm 5'6 & my highest weight was 383lbs. Current weight is 290lbs.
    My goal is 180 for now, but I know that even at that weight I will probably still be "big". I have no idea what my body looks like slim or healthy so I guess my final GW will have to be determined when I get there.

    I'm a hair under 5'6", and my current weight is 170. My goal is 145. I have extremely long legs, and a really short upper body. My lowest adult weight was 129. I look at pictures from that point and I don't like the way I look. Too bony IMHO. My husband likes my thicker booty and bigger boobs. If only I could spot reduce, and just take the flab off my midsection, life would be perfect. Alas, I will reassess at 145. I am not a fast loser by any stretch of the imagination, so IDK how long that goal will take to reach.

    This is a good thread for me. I started at 294, and I'm down to 219, and my goal has always been 180. I just arbitrarily set that number. But now that I'm getting closer, and I believe it IS attainable, I've wondered if I'll need to set a new one once I get there. It's nice to see what others are shooting for!

    I'm 5' 5.5" and I have a goal range rather than a goal weight. At least for the time being. I would like to be somewhere between 130 and 145. It's been a while (a LONG while) since my weight has been that low and based on body changes (pregnancies, etc.) and age I'm just going to keep working away and see what I look like when I get there and what looks/feels most appropriate.

    I always hover between 130-140. My lowest was 128lbs and my highest is right now at 141lbs. I am working towards reaching the high 120s low 130s :) 10 pounds seems like a struggle for me though. I am moderately muscular so for me its like "the last 10 pounds" type struggle

    5'6", CW 135, plan to maintain/recomp at 130. Definitely want to lose more than 5 pounds of fat but I've just noticed loose skin on my thighs and plan to stop at 130 to let my body catch up.

    I am 5'6" and the lowest weight I have even been as an adult is 148. I had lost 100 lbs (the wrong way). Then I got married, had two kids, and now I'm 191 (down from 240).

    My goal weight is 140 and then I'll decide from there.

    I'm 5'6". I don't even know the lowest weight I've been in my adult life - maybe around 175? I peaked at 210 (if you ignore the 240 when I was 9 months pregnant with my son). CW is low 190s, and GW is 150. Once I get there, I'll decide what to do. It just seems so far away at this point, and I can't fathom going lower than that right now.

    I'm 5'6'' and am aiming for 115 lb before I start a bulk to build muscle. Currently at 121 lb but not happy with my weight as I am what I consider to be 'skinny fat'. I want to be able to see my muscle. After my bulk I hope to come back up to around 121 lb but with muscle.

    125lbs will be about 36-26-36 or so.

    118lbs is about 35.5-23.5-35.5.

    I like to be between that.

    I'm both curvy and muscular.

    I'm 5'6" at my highest weight I was 206. I did get down to 150, now I'm around 168, my goal is 155-160. I love my curves!

    My initial goal is 140, then hopefully 130. I was 150, I'm going to work down to 140, take a break and try to keep it off, and then go for the next 10.

    I'm 5'6 and my goal is around 150. I am curvy and so anything below 140 I look like I have an eating disorder. I once got down to 123 lbs and then got pregnant. Everyone thought I looked better with a little bit of weight on. I just want to be healthy and happy. I'm hovering at 191 right now and I just don't feel good about myself.

    You should stop trying to lose and recomp. Yikes. I support people who want healthy goals--yours is risking osteoporosis.

    I'm 136-7 right now, and for looks want to drop down until my thighs slim up and stomach isn't wobbly (I'm not very muscley, so probably at ~125?) and when I get there, I will consider dropping a few more lbs, because 117-123.5 is supposed to be in the ideal range for running, which is my favorite 'athletic' activity and I really want to be good at it! :) Also in September I will begin lifting, which will hopefully bump up my lean body mass and make me look better.

    Btw I am very pear shaped and not curvy at all. Extra weight def does not go to the right places like some other lucky people here. ;) So I'm tryna make the best of what I got!

    If any other 5'6 ladies wanna friend me, please do! I love looking at diaries! :D

    5'6" 1/2 Currently 147.5lbs and thinking I have 20-30 more pounds to go. 1st goal is drop to 128lbs and see about re-comping from there if body fat is low enough. I started at 247-ish, never been below 160, really ever in my adult life. So I have no idea what the best weight for me is, all I know is I want to be strong and healthy, the scale alone can't tell me that I have reached that goal.

    UGH, sorry to be responding for you @MayaEmProject but I hate when people do this. If someone is eating healthy, exercising and eating a sufficient amount of calories don't tell them that their goal would cause osteoporosis. Unless someone has anorexia then I don't think they risk it.
    Different body types can handle different types of weight.
    My normal weight was about 110 before I gained weight and I was healthy without osteoporosis.

    At 5'7" and 110 pounds would put MayaEm at a BMI of 17.2, which is well into the underweight category. Even at 117 pounds she's already considered underweight. I would tread lightly on giving advice to someone who doesn't seem to be heading down a safe path.

    I'm 5'6.5 and currently at 117 (I think) and aiming for 113. Waist is 24.5 - 25... I'm okay with it. It's my thighs I would really like to make a bit smaller :) (yes, I know spot reduction is not possible).
