Hi girls,

I'm 5'5 and I've set my UG as 135 though when I get to 140 I am going to see how I feel as 135 may make me look too thin. I'm interested to know what you other 5'5 girls are aiming for?

P.s. feel free to add me, happy to give support and receive it :)
«134

    The smallest I've otten was 142 and I looked on the good/thin side. So I'm shooting for 140 but it's very very hard for me to sustain at that weight. My normal fit body weight is a happy and toned 150.

    I am aiming for 150, I have a larger bone structure and wider hips so 150 is good for me.

    I'm about 5'5 1/2 and I'm aiming for 145 as it is right in the middle of the healthy BMI range. But I'm going to judge it by how I feel when I get closer! I've always been curvy and I'm not sure if I will look too skinny if I lose too much. Obviously I'm using the scales now to judge how much I'm losing, but when I get closer to my goal I'm going to stick at what feels healthy for me.

    Im 5'5 also and currently weigh 149 but was hoping to get to about 137 or so but I just dont know if I will ever get there as I get to 147 and then go back to 149. Cant seem to get much lower than that. I have noticed on here though that a lot of people of this height want down to 130 and under. Personally I think that would be to thin for me but i will decide if and when I ever get to 137.

    i'm 5'5"1/2 and at my lowest adult weight was 140 and a comfy size 8. I will be very happy to get to 140 again but 128 - 135 is my ultimate goal weight. I'll have to see how it looks and how i feel. Size 4/6 would be perfect! :) I have a pretty muscular structure.

    Hoping to be between 160-150. Going to reevaluate once I hit 170 and go from there. :)

    Originally I aimed for 130. Now I'm going for 125. I think I'll stop there.

    I definitely want to be a toned 150...I started at 180, if I get lower than 150 then so be it, but these last few pounds are simply not wanting to budge!

    I am 130 and maintaining, up from 120. I purposely gained so my muscle definition would be more visible.

    Going for 125 but absolutely minimum of 130! That's when I looked and felt my best. And this time I won't be 'skinny fat' either!

    I'm aiming at 140 too. Lowest I ever got was 128 and I had people asking me if I was ill. It was only maintained because of the fairly serious running I was doing. In 'normal' life, my comfortable weight is around 136-140.

    It really just depends on your body type. I'm more curvy therefore 150 looks really good on me and 140-145 looks very fit and thin. If you're a thinner build then 150 may make you look big. Plus I have a lot of muscling so 150 might not look like straight 150.

    I'm around 130, and would have a hard time finding clothes that fit if I got much smaller, so this is a good place to stop.

    Originally was aiming for 160 since I have a large bone structure and wide hip structure... I have lowered my goal to 150... I want to get super toned and I think 150 is a good weight for me... before kids I weighed 145 so I think 150 is ok... If I don't hit 150 that's ok, as long as I tone up and look good I don't care if I don't make it to 150.

    I am aiming for 160 at the moment, I would be happy to see 180 first. I was the biggest I have ever been after giving up smoking and being put on antidepressants. I refuse to buy bigger clothes and decided that squeezing into them was not an option.
