    My goal is 120 but I plan to re-evaluate that at 135, 130, 125. When I like what I see, I will stop, regardless of what the scale says. Currently at 135.2 and the belly is still pudgy so downward I go.

    I'm 5'6 and my original goal was 150, but once I got there, I decided to go for another 10 lbs. I'm currently at 145 (plateau).

    I'm 5'6" also. My goal is currently 150, but once I get there I'm going to see how I feel, and might try to loose a few more pounds.

    5'7" goal weight 150-155? Mostly I just want to be a size 8.

    I'm around 5'7'', GW/CW is around 114 lbs. I have a small frame though, so that's something you need to take into consideration when choosing your goal weight.

    You also need to think about kind of body you want: are you losing the weight to look leaner, or are you also hoping to build muscle mass?

    I'm 5'6" as well. I really wanted to get down to 135 but to me its unbelievable. My believable goal weight I want to achieve is 150. On the BMI chart for a 5'6" person is 114-154.

    I'm 5' 6" and my goal is 138#. I'm a classic pear shape and if I go any lower then that I start getting this thin faced tweeker look! Not attractive! Good luck on hitting your goal!

    I'm 5'6", large framed, and would like to get to a very toned/fit/muscled 140-150. Never been that small EVER, so don't know how that will look on me. The lowest weight I remember hitting was 159 when I was in high school. We shall see!

    Also 5"6' 1/2 & I currently weight 144 lbs, not big but all the fat is around my belly...
    So my first goal is to get to 134lbs, I remember being comfortable at that number. But I don't just rely on the scale, I'm more focused on the inches & fitness level :-)

    Right now I am focusing on body fat %. My body fat % goal is 18 which will probably put me at about 123-125 for weight.

    I'm 5'6 and my goal is 150 too. I think i look best at that weight, although a few lbs lighter would be good too ;)
