    I'm 5'6.5.. :) I'm always at a steady 118-123... When I'm "fit" and toned I sit at 123/4 if I'm not, I'm at 118. This is why I don't get on the scale.. I'd rather weigh a bit more and look harder..

    Dkev u look a lot smaller at that weight than I did...

    Really? Everyone's bodies are so different even when you're the same height and weight. I'm pretty solid all over. If I lost anymore I'd look sickly. My shoulders and upper chest/neck area are skin over bone but I tend to carry my weight in lower ab/hip area.
    So ado I after 2 kids lol

    I've had 2 kids as well :) 13 and 6 both boys!

    Totally agree. I look thinner than 130 but it's because I have a lot of muscle tone. Who cares really what the scale says if you look fit and feel great!

    I am 5'6 exactly and am currently about 130-133 depending on the day! I want to get back down to 124, which is how much I weighed in my profile pic. I was happy with the way I looked then!

    I'm 5'6"
    my initial goal weight is to get down to 150. I'll have to re-evaluate when I get there because it's been so long! If I need to 'tone up' at 150 I would probably aim for 140 or so. I've been as low as 135 before but I was all hips and still wearing 9/10 jeans. My upper body was quite thin though and you could see my ribs. So, like I said not quite sure!!
  • A healthy BMI (20-25) for 5'6" is 120-156lbs

    I would love to get to 130, but my body isn't really liking that idea. I've been stuck at 138-140 for a LONG time now.

    Same here. I've been stuck at about 140-142 forever.

    My goal is 130 as well. I am one pound away. I remember geting stuck at 137. I raised my calories and then lowered them again after a couple weeks.
  • I am aiming for 140lbs, however, I have a muscular build (from lifting weights/playing college sports) and going below even 150lbs is proving to be very difficult. Still aiming for it though. Best wishes!
