5"5 girlies. What's your weight goals?

I'm 5'5 - I've been 138-208 and everywhere in between!!! (am 48 yrs old)

My current goal is 160, I think I looked too thin in the 140's and it was difficult to sustain (I really like food, and don't have time to run 5 miles 5 times a week - which is what I needed to do)z

This time at MFP I am currently 182.8 (started at 196 in May - so it's a slow comfortable loss so far, but very regular)

At 160 I should be about a size 10 and should be able to sustain it with mostly walking 30-60 minutes a day for exercise (very feasible for me)- if I find time to run (which I do once or twice a week now, but only about 2 miles) Then it's like bonus calories to earn an extra treat!

I'm 33 yrs old, 5' 5 1/2". I'm thinking somewhere around 130-140, maybe a little higher. Depends how much of my lean body mass I keep maintaining, as this time around I think I started weight lifting earlier in the weight loss process. Started around 190ish I think, currently 165. Losing weight slow and steady, but also seeing that lovely shape and definition emerging from the strength training!

I love to eat, but it also helps that I actually enjoy exercising, so I love the Zumba classes I take, and the weight lifting, and I'm totally addicted to running, lol.

5'5 my goal is 125-130 pounds and now I'm 135 good luck!

My goal is 110-125lbs for being 5'5. I am like 100 pounds away from it, hah. Lost almost 50 so far

5'5", 53 years old. I'm at 140 now, and I look great (I've lost 35 pounds altogether). Aiming for 135 just for a little buffer. I've been lifting weights for seven months, and love my muscles. I wear a size 6 now, and some 4's. Size small in shirts.

Also, photos of me taken in my 20's, when I weighed less than 120, show a skinny, bony person with no muscles or curves. I have no desire to look like that again.

I'm 5'5.5" and weighed 52.9 kg (about 116.4 lb) as of this morning (highest weight at this height was 61 kg/ 134 lb). My original goal weight was 118 lb and I had the thought of dropping it to 114-115 lb (around 52 kg), but having a lower BF% in that weight range will be a real challenge! I'm actually happy with my current weight and might go into recomp soon.

I'm 5' 5.5", HW 173 about 6 weeks ago after a bout of illness/injury and bed rest. I'm now about 165-166 after seriously buckling down with MFP 3-4 weeks ago. I'd be happy to be 155, but end point goal is to be in the 145 range which I was about 12 years ago after graduating university. And that was after putting on university weight of about 15-20 lbs.

I have a medium build, wide shoulders, large/dense bones.

My calorie goals are 1200 per day with no food group restrictions other than no/low sweeteners (real or artificial). i have a desk job and my only exercise is walking/steps (2500 per day) as I'm still injured and can't do high impact cardio.

Feel free to add me, my food diary is open and i'd love to get a good supportive group together.

I'm 5'5" and am 29. My weight in my early 20s hovered around 135, and I gained my first 15 lbs when I began working at a desk job. In my early 20s I focused a lot on cardio and didn't really have any muscle tone going on, but I began lifting more heavily around this time and 150 actually looked pretty good! Fast forward 2-3 years and I got a promotion with a lot of free food from vendors that was always placed close to my desk. I have pretty decent will power, but it obviously wasn't strong enough and I was 167 at my heaviest.

My goal was originally to make it back to 150, which I did achieve after about a year of slow and steady progress. I had tried to use myfitnesspal in the past along the way, but I think I had been too extreme and always ended up giving up. I think that being super accurate works well for some people, but I figured there was no harm in trying a relaxed logging approach and found that it was more manageable for me and I was really able to stick with it. This philosophy goes against what a lot of people follow here, but as long as the general trend was downward, I felt fine with the rate.

I was satisfied with 150, but felt I could still lose another bit to make my muscles pop more and decided to reasses after reaching 145. I'm now there, and think I might try for 140 and reasses again. I'm happy with how I look currently, so it will again be a relaxed and lengthier approach then most people might go for, but this pace honestly suits me so much better! I'm set to lose .5 lbs a week at 1,440 a day or so, but I just use that as a guide and don't log as much now that I know what I need to do. I am fairly curvy still and am trying to maintain that look. I think taking it slow has helped since I amazingly didn't lose the two cup sizes I gained. It's kind of a balancing act near the end, I think.

Best of luck on your journey! I know I benefitted from the slow and steady route, and hopefully that will work out well for you too!

I'm very slightly under 5'5" (5'4.5" to be exact) and my goal is around 120 lbs. My highest was 260.
Really, I have more of a goal range of ~120-125, to account for daily fluctuations.

I really won't know until I get there, though. I don't know what I look/feel like at that weight, but in high school I was about 140-145 lbs and I definitely could have lost another 20 lbs or so without looking too thin. I have no desire to fall into the "underweight" area of the BMI scale (for 5'5" people, the 'normal' range is 111-149, but BMI is just a guideline only and not hard and fast). I may want to aim for 115, or I may feel better at 135. I just don't know!

Chances are when I get to 120 I'll try to recomp for a while instead of trying to lose more if I'm still not quite content. I know I'll have quite a bit of loose skin at the point and may consider surgery.

5'5, current weight 172, start weight 220. Goal somewhere in the 140s then reassess. I have a lot of lean mass though, I'm small for my weight, thanks to genetics (hourglass shape) and being an athlete and dancer in the past. Strength training from the start too and losing slowly in order to minimise lean mass loss. I am just on the brink of starting to lean out I think (about a large UK 12 currently for reference).

Once I get to mid/high 140s I'm hoping to be happy enough to just do small cut and recomp.

5'5", SW 183, CW/GW 120 +/- 3, no curves, built like a boy, especially post-bilateral-mastectomies - wide shoulders, no booty. Somewhat muscle-y for a li'l ol' lady. If my body weren't this body, 120 might be a bit light, but I feel like it's fine for me - I'm happy.

5' 5.75" (but don't tell the military, they think I'm 5' 6".) CW 150, US size 8.

The first time I lost weight, my UGW was 132 and I got down to 131 (about a large US size 4), but I had very little muscle because I hadn't worked out much except for cardio. I am SUPER pear-shaped, so when I got down that low, my top started to look skeletal while my bottom remained average.

This time around, I am MUCH stronger, so my goal weight is around 142. I'll have to feel it out, though.

5'5.5" and I'm 33 years old. I was up to about 185 lbs. when I started losing weight, now I'm down to 144. I'm aiming for 135, but these last few pounds are taking their sweet old time coming off! I started lifting about a month ago, so I'm hoping that will help me lose the last few pounds and some body fat too.

I'm 5'5", 46yo, 123.5 lb. My goal is below 120, preferability about 115. My goal is to be lean so I can run fast

5'5" lady here. Overweight/obese all throughout childhood. Over 2 years I went from my highest adult weight of 220 lbs down to 150 through removing process foods. Over the winter I gained back 10 lbs, but I'm working on that. 150 was a great weight for me, and a trainer told me that's my ideal weight. I have very muscular legs (I'm a long distance bicycle tourist), which makes me dense. I'd love to see what 145 or 140 is like, though.
