I'm almost 5'5" and I'd love to be 125. I set my goal for 130, but we'll see when I get there! Good Luck!0

I'm 5'7" and my goal is 130, but really I want 125. I will aim for 130 first.

I'm 5'4.9" (the .9 means a lot to me!) and I'm aiming for 119lbs as my ultimate goal weight. As you can see in my signature, I don't really know if I can get there. If I do, I don't know if I can sustain it, so overall, I'd like to somewhere in the low to mid 120s.0

I am 5'5'' and my CW is not good. I was very healthy when I was 155....it looked great on me and many people thought I weighed considerably less, probably because I had a lot of muscle which toned everything up. I want to get to 155 and then see how I look and feel, before deciding to get to a lower weight.0

I'm 5'5.5" and currently at my goal of 140 pounds. I was 125 pounds before I had children and looked like skin and bones! I had no muscles at all. I don't ever want to be that skinny again and I don't think women over a certain vintage (I'm 46) look good that skinny. I can't tell you how many people are telling me I am wasting away to nothing - although they think I look great now - but tell me not to lose any more. Yes, I really am big-boned (I measured), so 125 is not good for me.
I guess my moral is: don't try to get to an "ideal". Make sure your goal matches your body type. Look at teenagers and early 20-somethings; their bodies, and bones have not stopped growing, so being tiny at 20 does not mean you should be as tiny at 30 or 40.0 -
I am 5'5" and my goal is 145 (sw 183) - I will re-evaluate when I get there depending on how I look/feel.0

im 5"5
when i was 15 i was 105 pounds(unhealthy but it was because i smoked, i did eat all the time)

when she was 2 i quit smoking and gained alot over the summer and winter, prob about 134 pounds
she is now 3 1/2 i recently weighed myself after not for a long time and im 119 now WOOOOHOO im so happy i guess just toning because theres still fat around my love handles and stomach.. i dont care what the weight is on the scale, im happy now with how i am but if i can be toned then why not (=0 -
Hi! I'm 5'5" and my goal is set to 120. I started out at 135 on mfp. I'm almost 38 and have had 2 kids. I'm at 121 now. It is totally do-able!! You go girl!
good job!!0 -
i am also 5'5". my goal weight is set for 125 BUT everyone carries their weight differently. you can see by peoples pictures here. at my heaviest i weighed 162 and im now at 139lbs. so these are somewhat older .
good job (=0 -
Hi I'm 5'5'' and right now my goal weight is 140 from my original 208. I think 125 is a very healthy and reasonable weight actually. My doctor told me that for my height which would be similar to yours, I should weigh around 120-130 for me to be healthy. But it depends on your body type and what your doctor would recommend you should weigh.0

I'm 5'5"...just joined at about 158lb. My goal is 140, and have an athletic build.0

I'm 5'5" and my short term goal is 150lbs. My ultimate goal is 120lbs. So no, I don't think it's unreasonable.0

I am 5'5... The scale jumps around a bunch for me... Currently I am about 145 with an end goal to be around 120-125
I weighed 120 on my honeymoon almost 5 years ago! My ticker pic is my goal... Which is me at 120 lbs. I came back from that honeymoon weighing 125... Ha, the pastry in Paris was worth it!
I think anywhere between 120-135 is a reasonable weight for someone that is 5'5
Good LUCK!0 -
I am 5'5" and I am aiming for 135. It depends on your build ideally on whether you will look sickly or not. I am currently 187# (GASP!) but before I started having kids (I have 3) I was 125-130.0

I'm a little over 5'4 and my goal is 128. MAYBE 125. we will see when I get to 128.
Sorry, no pics yet.0 -
I am 5'5", and according to the MFP BMI calculator I will no longer be overweight when I reach 150lbs. That is my main goal at this point. I estimate that that will put me in about a size 7/8US. (Two sizes less then I was when I got married.) I am guessing that I will be happy at that size, but if I am not, I will keep going. Like someone else said, I like having curves and would not want to part with them.

I'm 5'5" ish and 120 lb ish :laugh:
For me my current weight is on the border line of just right and skinny, BUT my waist is still a size bigger than my hips. It was 2 sizes bigger, so that's progress!
Please don't use my profile pick as an 'after'... It's taken with an arty 'lens' and I really don't look that thin! I might get my friends to take a better one when we're out this weekend.0 -
I am 5'4" and mfp says my healthy weight would range between 111 and 141lb, so I think 125 for you would probably be ok. My goal is 150, eventually, and I'll be lower than when I was on my wedding day... Once I reach that I will reevaluate where I want to be.0

When I began with MFP in December, I weighed almost 160 pounds. I am 46 years old, 5'4" and currently 133. I had set a goal of 139, then 134 and now I, too, am aiming for 125. It may be too lofty but I am just so loving having the extra weight off me. I am small framed and I know its not about that number on the scale, but it does mean something to me. I am focusing on toning and healthy fitness more than anything and I think the results will be nice! Best of luck to all!0
