are you about 5'5'' what's your goal? any before/after?

Hello
Well im 5"4 and my current weight :120.8
i would like to be 110 lb <----
i hope i reach my goal before i get back to school

I'm 5"6 as well..goal is 135 pounds.

I'm 5'5" and I started at 189, I'm currently at 172.7!!! My goal is to be between 140-150. The way my body type is... I don't think going below 140 is necessary for me... but who knows I may want to go lower depending on how I feel at that point. Once I get to about 169 expect a 20 lbs. down picture from me!

I'm 5"5 and weigh 137 pounds right now. My goal weight would be 130. I would love to be 125, but i think my head will look too big for my body lol.

I'm 5'5 but anything after 120 and I've either got extra weight on my arms,thighs, or i look like im carrying a small fanny pack in my mid region lol. I want to be firm and fit at 120. For my body type and BMI its considered really healthy. I wish you the best of luck! I'm currently at 165 so I have a hike before my feet on this journey! I'll post pics up at 145-140!

I am about 5 5, maybe a smidge shorter. My goal has been 135/139 but, just this week I decided that I REALLY want my goal to be 125 as well. I don't know if it's doable at 36 with 3 kiddos "under my belt" but, i am going to give it a shot. I wasn't really planning on talking about it much to people around me, just kind of trying to do it b/c I can see everyone telling me it's "too much"

currently I am 148 and I have to say taht i'm more motivated with 20 more lbs to lose versus 8 more lbs....does that make sense?

I say keep going as long as you are doing it "healthily" .... if that's even a word

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!

*i've wanted to be 125 ever since I can remember.... in high school i felt fat at 135...now i'd love to see the 30's

Anything is doable if you want it bad enough. I am 34 and also have three kids. If you want it, go for it! I too feel "fat" at 135. I always feel good at 125! Friend me if you would like, we have similar stats. Good Luck!

I think it really depends so much on your body shape, frame size, and the amount of muscle you are carrying. Someone who is lithe and willowy will look fine at the lower weights, but if you're an athlete with more lean muscle, that lower weight wouldn't look quite right.

I'm 5'5", and before having kids I hovered around 128-132 range, and looked great. In high school I was 116-125, and at 116- I looked terrible and gaunt. Other peeps look great at that weight, but I have a good sized frame and a good amount of muscle in my arms and legs,. I was meant to be curvy and fit, but not extremely lithe.

I'm at 148 now, and my goal is 135ish, but I'll pay attention along the way to see what looks right on me at age 33.

I'd like to be more than one doughnut away from diabetes.

"More than one doughnut away from diabetes" LOL! Thanks for a good chuckle!

I'm 5'4 and I would love to be 130-135. Im currently at 161. When I started I was pushing 210. Here's my B&A from 210 to 164. I'm the one in the pink.

You look adorable! Nice gams!

Im just under 5'5" and my starting weight was 192. Im currently at 159 and my goal is 145. I think anything under 145 might be to small. So I"ll see when I get to 145 if I want to go smaller.

Wow, I was really surprised to see so many 125 goals and it got me thinking that perhaps I needed to have the same goal. My goal is to get to 140-150 and hover in that range. I think anything less than 140 will not look right on me personally. Maybe it just depends on your frame/build. I have a somewhat thick frame.

I was also surprised by the number of people with goals of 125. I honestly think that I would look terrible at 125--I'm somewhere between 5'4" and 5'5", am very muscular, and have a large frame. I'm shooting for 160 right now, and I think that ultimately 145 would be completely ideal for me. Although it's really hard for me to imagine myself even at 145! It's not just about being light, it's also about having an optimal body composition (the ratio between fat and muscle). If I could get to even 150 and be about 16% bodyfat, I'd be ECSTATIC. So don't feel peer pressure about your weight goal. Play it by ear, see what looks good on you, and match your body to all of your goals (fitness, function, lifestyle, etc) not just the scale.

I'm around 5'5" and I am aiming to get back into low to mid 120's - I weighed between 115 and low 120's for years before having kids and I think it looked normal for my frame, not too small - I always had an athletic build. I really just started back into strength training though, so we'll see what happens!

I'm 5'5 and my goal is 150. I am large framed (not an excuse, but true). I was a size 14 at 190, and at my thinnest in high school I was 135. I will be very happy and healthy at 150.

I have 'sort of' before and afters in my profile. There is one from my daughter's prom in 2010 (I'm in the navy shirt) and then her prom in 2011. But that's me at 243, and then probably around 216 or so. I'm now 207

You're the first person to have the same build as me (when you said your size was 14 at 190 lbs.)!!! That's crazy! Right now I'm at 170.8 and my size is 13! It's cause I have huge hips, and hardly any fat in my tummy! So I understand your goal being 150, cause that's mine as well!!! I know in about 20 pounds I can lose the love handles and areas that are bugging me, but I've never been down to that weight so I'm curious what I'll look like...

This is an interesting thread. I am 5'4.5" and at my highest weight was 187, size 14. Pretty much no muscle. Around 144 with moderate amount of muscle I began to wonder if my body just wasn't made to go any lower. I was in a size 6. I would see people my height with goals of 125 and feel like a failure. I tried to detach from a number and focus on healthy habits and over time my oversll weight has gone down (and I'm pretty sure muscle mass has increased.) I am about 132 right now but slipped into the 120's for about 2 days before starting p90x. I got discouraged because the scale went up, and stopped p90x. It's pretty much a vanity goal at this point but I would be amazed if I were able to get solidly in the 120s and stay there. Thinking about aiming for 125 before restarting p90x even though I know the scale number is a bit of nonsense by now. Current pics in my profile are in the pinkish /'orange shirt. Wearing size 4.

I'm 5'5 and am looking to get to about 130lbs. I was thinking about going a little lower but I too am getting a lot of flack from people saying that I will be "too skinny". They are saying that 160lbs would be good for me. I think 125lbs is great for someone 5'5. I've still got a ways to go so I don't have any pics of anything near that weight.
