5"6 ladies- whats your goal?

Lyadeia · June 2011

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm aiming for a BMI of 22 which I believe is around 140lbs.

mamadragon · June 2011

140-130. I have it listed at 130 here, I think. LOL

m1zk0 · June 2011

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!

Yummymummy135 · June 2011

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..

blackchick41bb · June 2011

mustanggirl_2011 · June 2011

i'm shooting for 150

silvergurl518 · June 2011

my goal is 135....i will celebrate after each 5 lb loss with a new workout treat--lululemon is a great place to celebrate and even target's fitness section is a blast.

i'm 160 now but i think my boobs must weigh like 10 lbs each!!!

lb7970 · June 2011

I'm 5"6.5 my goal weight now is 150 since I'm starting at 183. After having my babies the lowest I've gone is 138 and that was too hard to maintain. So at 40 years old I'd be thrilled to get to 145 but 150 will be easier to maintain.

sonybalony · June 2011

I'm with you guys, I am currently 220 and know I felt wonderful at 150, when I got down to 138 to join the army 20 years ago I felt icky, so 150 sounds great! But 170 is my current get there first goal. :-). Good luck!!!

I AGREE :0)

Since my starting weight was so high and I am 48 years old my goal weight for right now is 150 lbs. I figure by the time I get there, I will be in pretty good shape too. I can re-evaluate my goal at this time depending on how I feel and how I look. I am 210 lbs right now and have quite a ways to go just to get to 150 lbs so I think that is reasonable for me right now.

Hello there, we are almost in the same boat. I am 210.5, and my ultimate weight goal for now is 160...

cparker10 · June 2011

Thank you for posting this question. I've lost 50 lbs down to 150 lbs from 200 lbs. My goal weight is 145 lbs and I hope to reach this by the end of next month.

saltyphoenix · June 2011

I remember actually feeling really great at 178 lbs.! My goal isn't a number but to fit into a size 10 at most stores (I'm a 20 right now).

nisharae · June 2011

Im 5''5.5 (ish - somewhere in there) I started out at 235 and am extremelly big boned... I weigh 171 currently and my short term goal is 152.... Im thinking my goal is somewhere between 142-152, although I may try for 135 at some point, just to say I lost 100 pounds.... But we shall see... for right now 152 would be great!

PinkKareBear · June 2011

It's interesting, if you look at the post of what 5'3" ladies said they want to be, a lot of their goal weights are the same or above what the 5'6" ladies want (generally around 130)! As someone who is 5'3", I was thinking for an ultimate goal 130 is a bit high for that height (not overweight by any means), but this post makes me feel better about what I want to achieve...just an observation.
