5"6 ladies- whats your goal?

150 is my happy weight...I'm built like a brick sh$&house with thick legs and ginormous hips, so anything smaller and I look sick and not proportioned! Unfortunately, I haven't seen it since before I got pregnant....7 years ago...:(0
-
I have the dumbest shape ever. I have a "B" tummy. You know a upper roll and a lower roll with a deep crease in between. I can't even see my belly button hardly :noway: . I started 3 weeks ago at 210 and now I'm at 199!! My first goal is 175...yes I said 175 thank you very much
. I've never been thin in my life and I have a good sized frame. I don't fancy my bones sticking out of my skin making me have a skeleton appearance (no offense to those that like the skeleton look). Where I'm from a little meat on your bones isn't a bad thing. I just want to be able to feel good about myself and be healthier. So for now my goal is 175 but no less than 150. Guess I'll know when I get there :flowerforyou: .
Really I don't know what my magic number is as I don't ever remember seeing it so once this spare tire wrapped around my waist is gone then I will be happy...whatever number that is.0 -
My goal weight is 135-140.0

I am actually 5'6 1/2 was 5'7 in high school not sure where that 1/2 inch went!! I would love to be 175lbs ( at this weight I was a size 12) but 165lbs would be awesome!! I can't imagine myself smaller than this....I remember being 145-150 at age 15.....who knows, we will see what becomes of this journey!0

When I was 155 I was a size 6 and kept getting told by my friends that I was too skinny. No one believed my weight. I actually had to step on a scale for my best friend. Everyone thought I was at least 20lbs lighter including my doctor when I had a physical. I would be happy near that size again but be a little more toned.
It's so interesting to me to hear things like this from other and realize how differently we carry our weight! I'm 147 and a size 8/10!0 -
I'm 5' 5.5"
Current goal is 140 but I think I might be able to comfortably get down to 132 - 135 ish0 -
My starting weight (2 weeks ago) was 225. My final goal is 150lbs, along with most of us. That number seems sooooo far away, so my short term goal in 20 lbs in 10 weeks. I weighed in today at 219, and have been working very hard at the gym. My problem is calories in! I feel like I am eating healthier, I eat a lot of fresh foods, but my calorie numbers are still high. I suppose I have a lot of learning to do, but this time I am determined!0

I never heard that term before but I have a "B" shape too! More than anything else I'd like to get rid of that over-the-belly-button roll!
I'm 5'6" on a good day. I started at 242 and am now at 160. To all of you who have 160 as a goal, it does feel great! But my first goal is to get to 149 - five pounds under the BMI line for overweight. Fifteen years I was down to 149. That's probably low enough for me - what's most important is really that I don't gain the weight back. If I never lose another pound, I'll be happy as long as I never again gain another pound either.0 -
I'm about a half inch shy of 5'6", but let's overlook that.
At the peak of my anorexia, I weighed around 90-95 lbs, whereas my natural body weight gravitates toward the 125-135 lb range. I've been stuck in the mid-130s since losing excess weight gained during eating disorder recovery and am convinced that my metabolism and body chemistry were ruined during my year of starvation.
I would throw myself a party if I ever saw the high 120s again. That's been my goal for a while, but I don't quite know how to get there anymore. At this point, I understand health and fitness like the back of my hand, but this inability to lose less than 10 lbs leaves me at a loss.
I'm a size 4 but can fit into 2's and 6's depending on how the clothes run, so I'm not terribly unhappy with my appearance. I simply want to win this battle once and for all - the right way.0 -
I'm going for 140. I;m usually in a size 8 at that weight. I haven't seen it for quite awhile though! :happy:0
-
Right now I am at 138, but I am shooting for 120, but because of ballet I might go to 115. We will see as it goes I guess...0
-
I am 229 lbs currently. My goal is 148. When I was 148 I felt comfortable and looking back I was thin. However, I am just contemplating right now losing 20 after that... I assume it would be pretty difficult and there will be a need for a lot of extra strength training to tone and get that celebrity body. I read that the celebrity that is 5'6 is about 124-128 pounds. Ah, it might never happen! We'll see what I feel like when I get to 148! That is still a ways away!0
-
I think I would feel really good about myself at 145 or 150 but I'm going to see what I can maintain around (I don't want to be too skinny)0

Im somewhere between 5'6" and 5'7" I want to get down to 180 and see how I feel. Though my eventual goal is to be at 1600
-
I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 186 (size 14s). I'm bigger boned, so know I would look more athletic once I shed some flub (fine by me), but would ultimately like to be in a size 6. I just wanna see one single flippin' digit on my jean tag! LOL0

hell yeah to the size 6. I'd be damn damn happy there. I'm a medium framed person so that's aroudn 130/135 for me (super brand dependent, obviously)0 -
I keep changing my goal.When I first started my fitness plan I was ok with maybe ending at 145. Now I know how determined I am and think maybe I can do 120 by April or May.
My first goal is to loose 20 pounds by August for the 5k I am entering and also for my birthday lol0 -
I want to weigh in at aroun 140- 150 ish. I weigh around 260 now, so that is a huge ending goal for me.0
-
between 115 - 119 lb0
-
I am 5'5" tall. My goal is to be wearing a size 2 and have around 12% body fat. According to the calculators on Tom Venuto's website, I will weigh around 115 when I get there.
I was a size 6 when I weighed 128 pounds, and I had no where near a 6 pack abs. So 115 pounds sounds about right.0 -
I'm 5'6'' and started at around 145 which is my weight when I don't exercise regularly or eat well. I'm now down to below 130, fluctuating between 128 and 130 and I'm pretty happy here. Originally my goal weight was between 120 and 125, but I'm actually really happy with my body the way it is now. I'm doing a lot of strength training now and really starting to see muscle definition and even though my weight hasn't changed I think I look a lot leaner and my clothes fit/look better. I really only have one trouble spot area left and if it would go away, I'd be so happy, I've got a tiny bit of extra fat on the sides of my hips. It's not huge, but I definitely notice it and it bothers me when wearing any sort of tight clothing.0
-
I am 5'6" and my goal is 122lb. I am around the 135lb mark at the moment and it is very slow to shift, but I will find a way, I have a wardrobe full of lovely clothes that are too tight at the moment as my incentive

My goal is betweekn 138 & 140 as any lower and I look ill, but hubby has said that as I get nearer my target and he thinks I am looking too thin he will say he said he would rather I look toned and happy than skinny and ill.0
-
My goal is 145! That is what I was in high school (soccer, volleyball and dance). It was just the right weight to where I kept my butt and hips but had a nice stomach and thighs.0
-
I'm aiming for a BMI of 22 which I believe is around 140lbs.0
-
140-130. I have it listed at 130 here, I think. LOL0
-
I'm 150 now, a size 8, and am aiming for 130. Come December I'd like to hit between 120-125, and then see from there. I haven't been 130 since grade 11, which was 6 years ago, but if other people can do it I sure as hell can!0
-
I'm 5'6, my start weight was 156, my original goal was 135 but at 139 now I still have a lot to loose!! I still have a really big belly (2 babies in 17 months) and very big arms so my new goal is 126..0
-
