    It's always been my understanding that ladies of 5"6 height should aim to be between 140 and 150 pounds. In this thread, though, I see a lot of you are aiming to be in the lower 100s. Any thoughts on this?

    I'm 5'6' (well, 5'5.5" :) ). My avi is me at 148ish. It's a great weight for the height, IMO. However, my stomach fat is still a challenge that I am working on. I'd be very happy to eventually end up at the same weight with the stomach fat gone, but anywhere in the 140-150 range would be fine with me.

    My goal is 150, but I'm fairly broad and large chested, I don't I could get smaller than that.
    I got down to 170s once and I looked damn good, so I think 150 would be very comfortable for me. Right now I'm 205-207. Can't seem to break away from those numbers.

    For me, its about BF%, I am now around about 20%, so a little lower would be ideal, but I am training to become a fitness instructor so the leaner I can be the better for me.
    At this point, its less about the number on the scale and more about fitness goals from here.

    Also, to note, gone from DD to C cup in my journey, so less to weigh in in the curves department :)

    Thanks for the comment. I'm glad for the insight. Best of luck on your goals!

    If I may politely ask, I am curious as to what your measurements are compared to how they were! (and anyone else).
