5"6 ladies- whats your goal?

my starting weight was 207 pounds my goal was 170 pounds my current weight is 179.2, few weeks ago i made a new goal of 150, when i reach it i may make another goal of 140. we will see how i look and how i feal about myself.

Thats AWESOME!!! good for you!!

I'm 5'6" and 40 years old. About 3 years ago, I suddenly lost 40 pounds and was down to 135. I liked that weight. I was about a size 6/8 (depending on the make of the pants) and I was just very confident and generally happy with the way I looked. (Let's face it - for someone who's been/felt overweight her whole life, there is always going to be something I hate about my body - at that weight it was the sag in my belly skin and that my breasts were tube socks!) Over the last year I have gained 55 pounds. I know that my age is partly the problem, coupled with my leaving a job where I was on my feet walking around for 8 hours and instead taking a desk job at my husband's business. My current goal is to go from 190 to 150 by this summer. From there, we'll see. The weight goals are all going to be a little different based on body type - I wouldn't go lower than 135 (actually, I like 140-145 better) because I'm curvy with a larger chest. I like my curves! ;-)

Im 5'6 and weigh 143lbs (had a baby 3 months ago), I would like to get back down to 132lbs. 8 years ago I weighed 205lbs, got down to 125lbs.... then gained 5 lbs back because, on my frame, it didn't look good, was too thin. I was very happy being 130-132lbs. I like the athletic look.

I'm currently at 163 and feel my best at 150 or below.

I'm 5'5". Started MFP in November at 171. Now at 148.8. I have no clue of what weight I'm striving for at this point. My first goal was 150. Now I'm aiming towards 145. It has been so long without a scale I truly don't know what I should be. I have a large frame and I work out. Any advice would be great. To all of you on this thread-Great Job. Keep up with it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im 5'6 ad currently 136 my goal is under 130 and eventually I want to be 125 maybe a little below If possible it depends when I get there

I started at 181 am now at 170 and am aiming for 135-140. I have a medium frame and at one point I was down to 127 and I had people say I looked "gross"....nice compliment huh? Looking at pictures, my head & hands looked huge! LOL

So I think staying under 140 would be a good goal, and not getting obsessed and crazy will also be a goal for me b/c I tend to let it get out of hand :embarassed: I also am trying to get toned and not "skinny", I don't mind some curves, just not a spare tire!!

Hi, I'm 5'6, started at 12st 10lbs (178lbs) curruntly at 12st 1lbs (169lbs) want to get down to 10st (140lbs) and then decide whether to try and shift a bit more or maintain that weight.... see how I look/feel then.

5'6" highest was 235 - reached first goal of 150. Continued to my old high school weight of 134. Joined MFP Dec 23 2011 & found myself on the move downward with all these tools & support. New goal = 127, currently @ 130

It's taken me several years to achieve. Do it while your younger, don't wait until my age! Keep your health foremost in mind when making your food & exercise choices. Good luck to all!

Congrats on your progress!

I'm currently 170-173, my first goal is 140-145. after that I will evaluate how I feel and see what my man thinks about my body. Personally I wouldn't mind weighing 120, but my man doesn't really want me to be that small.

5'6", goal was 140, but thinking maybe I could hit that 135...

Wow there are a lot of us on here...lol

I am 5'6" and I started MFP at 254.
Currently working toward getting under 200 and into ONEderland.
My goal is 155 and then re-assess my situation.
I have an athletic build and want to keep that and just be slim athletic again.

My body will never be perfect now - that ship has sailed, but whatever tummy bulge I am left with looks a heck of a lot more "normal" in size 4 - size 6 clothes. I can wear anything. I think when your clothes fit you properly then you know where your size is. Size 8 fit me like a dream at 153 but I still had a stomach bulge that I was fighting. Now I have to play with different sizes from 4 to 6, but I look good in clothes now. Yeah, some sagging skin, but I'd rather be healthy than fat. I chose 132 as it is right in the middle of the BMI for my height. Good place to land. Good enough for me! Good luck to everyone. You can do it!
