Women around 5’6, what is your goal weight?

I'm setting my goal as 160. My high was 198 & now am 190. My bigger goal is to eat healthier & exercise daily; we'll see where I plateau. I think you'll know when you hit the proper weight for yourself.

5'5.5" here - my UGW is 125, but I'd be really pleased with 135.

I’m 5’5” and 52 years old. My current weight is 126. Highest weight was 145.
My goal is 120. Once I get there, then I’d decide if I want to try for 115.
In terms of size, I don’t find clothing sizes very consistent, so don’t think about those.

Ideally 140lb but I just want to get my UK size 12 genes on!

I'm around 5ft5. My goal weight initially was 150. I am about at 150 now and still have a lot of body fat so i'm bumping my goal to 140. The number on the scale doesn't bother me as much as it did but I assume I'll prob need to weigh a little less to get this extra fat off.

My goal was 130 - I managed to get to 134 and looked awfully tiny - I was in a size 4. My body is happier between 140-150 so current goal is to get back to 140. COVID and depression made me gain a lot of my weight loss back.

5'6.5"/5'7" here. My goal weight is 130. I am currently 145 down from 178. I've gained a good bit of muscle but I still have at least 10lb of fat I'd like to lose. Right now I'm on the larger end of a size 6, would love to be comfortable in a size 4.

I’m 5’5” and weigh 209, but would like to get down to 165. I’m 50, so I’m not getting my hopes up too high to lose a lot 🙂

If you’re thinking that age prevents weight loss in some way you’ll be happy to hear that’s simply not true. 😊

There’s plenty of people here (including me, at 59) quite a lot older than 50 who have had some amazing results throughout loss and maintenance.

There’s a tiny, tiny change in metabolism as you age but in reality it amounts to a number of calories in single figures over a day.

The perception that it’s harder generally comes from the fact that often, as we get older, the amount of activity associated with our daily lives diminishes. A daily 20-30 minute walk will go a long way to counteract that, though, whether or not you choose to continue any intentional exercise that you may have been doing all your life.

Don’t limit yourself due to myth! You can reach your goals at any age!

I'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 135. Once I start getting into the 140's I start to look really thin.

I’m 5’6 but I felt and looked my best when I was around 160. I’m quite muscular because I was an athlete for most of my life. I’m looking forward to getting back there again.

I'm 48, and I really have two goal weights: one at 180, when I'll have lost about 100 pounds and will be able to sort of assess what's under the fat, and one lower down. I am not sure what that one is yet. I've seen everything from 125 to 175 for my height, and I can dismiss the lower end of the scale because I am a solidly built woman with curves. So the assessment of where I'm at at 180. I'm more interested in what size I'll wear, anyway.

5,6 here. I currently weigh 176. Ultimate goal would be 147 but I don’t think I’ve weighed that since I was a kid! I was 156 at my wedding 10 years ago and looked and felt slim so somewhere between 147 - 160?

I'm 5'6" and my goal is currently 135, although I actually got down to 135 about 7 years ago and it mostly just made me feel deprived of the foods I like. I felt much more balanced and comfortable with myself at 150, so we'll see once I get there if I actually want to lose that last 15 pounds...

5’6 and 140lbs right now. Overshot my pre-ED weight by a lot. My goal is around 110-115lbs, maybe 120lbs if I have more muscle. I have a small frame though, so probably closer to the lower end.

At 5'6 110-115 lbs puts you in the underweight category. 120 puts you towards the lower end of the normal weight.

I started at 280 and I'm shooting for 150 (currently 199).
