    I'm 5'7" and my goal is 130 but it really depends on your body type and what you would be comfortable with.

    I'm 5"4 and my goal is 118/18% body fat, but it depends what you are going for! Do you want to be slim, go down a dress size, run a marathon or look like a fitness model etc? :)

    I'm 5'5" and my goal is 130 lbs, or a size 8 (whichever comes first).

    I am 5'5' and my goal is 128 lbs and a flat tummy! So if that doesn't happen at 128, I'll go lower.

    the old school way of calculating for an average frame woman was 100 lbs at 5'
    then add 5 lbs for every inch over 5'.
    so 5'5" would be 125 lbs at the lightest point on the scale.
    usually +10 lbs was always comfy & healthy. (& acceptable without being more than a pinch of an inch)
    but now with the new rules, its all changed.
    so go by what feels good on you.
    only you can say what feels healthy, happy & comfy for you :flowerforyou:

    I'm 5'5" and my goal is 145... I start to get a little bobblehead-ish if I go any lower. It's all about your body type and where you feel comfortable! :)

    i'm 5'5 and my goal is 120-125. i'm currently 130 and still have a flabby belly, until that flabby belly is gone, my goals will keep changing. LOL my original goal was 135-140 but i am still not satisfied with the way my body is carrying the weight. we shall see :))

    Everyone is so different. I am 5'5 and looking back, I think I looked best at about 137lbs. Just because at that weight everything was in good proportions. I am not focusing on weight anymoe, so I haven't got a goal!

    I am 5'5 and my goal is 130. But I may go lower just depends. I guess I will decide when I get there. A lot of it depends on your body type and build.

    It depends on your build. I am 5'5" and started out aiming for roughly 130, but kept my options open. Now I have got there I am aiming for 125 as I have a very small frame and still have a fair amount of fat at 130, even though my measurements are small.

    Like many others here, I'm 5'5" and aiming for 130. My lowest adult weight was 128, and I felt (and looked) fantastic. But because I've gained so much weight, I'm not sure how my body will reproportion itself if I manage to lose it again. It's all about being happy with how you feel and how your clothes fit, IMO. I still have a long way to go, but that's my current goal weight.

    It really is a personal choice, it also will probably change for most of us as we get closer.

    I am 5 ft 5 and set off wanting to get to 135lb, but now I am closer I have lowered it to 122lb ad I wouldnt be suprised if it changed again tbh.

    I`m 5`5" and will be perfectly happy if I`m somewhere in the range of 140-150 I`m not super stuck on a number I just want to be in that range :)
    I have an average body frame (current pear shape)

    I'm 5' 4 and 1/2" (very impt. that 1/2 inch!) My goal is 135. However, once I reach that, if I'm still not satisfied, then I'll shoot for 125 or even 120. Depends on how I look and more importantly, how I feel!

    120ish is where I like to be. I work in kg though, so 55kg was the goal I had.
