    I'm 5'6'' :) My SW was 198. CW is 192. GW is 148 first (for graduation in october) and 133 after that (preferably before christmas :p)
    I think I have a medium body frame, but I carry my weight evenly (hourglass shape which I'm sooo happy with!) So I can get away with being a bit heavier :)

    I'm 5'6 1/2" and my starting weight was around 240 (I'm going off a doctor's visit a few weeks before I started since I don't own a scale). I'm really unhappy with the way I look now. It's my freshman year of college and sadly, I think I put on some weight since August (meal plans are the devil because there are VERY limited healthy choices). But I'm determined now to get to probably around 160-170 and then once I get there, see how I feel about going lower. I think I have a larger body frame so I'm just going to see how things pan out once i get there. I don't want to lose all my curves :)

    I rarely see these threads for 5'6" ladies!
    I'm 5'6

    SW: 182 at highest (172 when starting mfp)
    CW: 144
    GW: 135

    Right now I'm holding almost all my weight in my stomach, gahhh! wish it would just come off from there! I'm perfectly happy with the rest of my body.

    The pic posted in the thread, she looks great at 160 but I think thats because she's well proportioned, but for us who hold weight in places, we have to have a lower GW for our problem areas to not be a problem.

    I'm 5'6 and am pretty sure I have a small frame.

    SW: 137 lbs
    CW: 129 lbs (I think...I don't weigh very often)
    GW: 125 lbs

    My heighest weight was 150 and I started to have some potential health issues. I used to weigh 125 lbs and that's when I felt the best. However, I am weight training now and I've never done that before, so I would be ok with weighing a little more and having more muscle mass.

    I am 5'6"
    SW: 170 (just had a baby!)
    CW: 160
    GW: 140-130

    I have a larger frame than most women. Ive also been blessed with a big booty, large boobs and "child bearing hips" lol. At 130 lbs, right before I joined the Army I was a size 4! I'm now a size 10 at 160. I'd like to be anywhere between 130-140 at my goal which would put be between a size 6 or 4 depending on he much I lose :)

    Me 5'6
    right now I am at 140, I want to get to at least 130 but really want 125. Then go from there. I have a very small frame. Little kids can touch fingers around my wrist. My biggest was 170 (that I will admit to)

    I'm 5' 6" and my GW is about 160-170 (I have a large frame and want some muscles). To kind of put the somewhat high GW in perspective, I have a 10 year old daughter who is 5' 2" with an athletic build, and she is already 125 lbs :laugh:

    Im 5,6 my start weight weight was 159 pounds goal weight is 128 pounds... Im currently at 139... these last 10 pounds are tricky and dont want to leave me easily :explode: ..Im not naturally a small framed person and have curves, big boobs and an assss :blushing: etc.... so any lighter than 128 is not realistic for me... I lift as well and do strength training ... so im trying to shift off weight as a goal and go for body fat percentage and how I look etc

    I'm 5'6. GW: 135 CW:178 SW:211

    I gained a ton of weight during pregnancy. I wish now I would have taken better care of myself. I have a large frame, I was once down to 150 and could see my ribs, so we will see if I actually make it to 135.

    i'm 5'6 and a half (very important half) people cant believe i weigh what i weigh. 'you carry it well'

    I consider myself to be large framed. I was once told by an anaesthtist that i had a masculine jaw and build (the cheek of it)

    I dont ever remember a time when i wasnt broad across the shoulders. Because of this i am aiming for 150lbs initially and a rethink if No WHEN i get there.

    I have a small-medium frame. My goal is about 115-120lbs. Any thinner than that and I start to look gaunt and ill. I want to look toned and healthy!

    100lbs is a little low sweetie! I was 100lb for a long while and I looked very ill and got many negative comments about my weight (the worst being that I looked like a 'skeletal freak'). Make sure you stay healthy! :-)

    Hey! I think it does depend on your frame....I have a small/medium (medium being in the butt/thigh area only....go figure, lol)

    SW: 138
    CW: 129
    GW: 128

    I may change my goal weight pretty soon since I'm about to start month 2 of Insanity....it may blast off that last pound and then some :)

    Good luck on your journey! Feel free to add me if you like! You can do it!! :flowerforyou:

    Would you reccommend Insanity? I'm very intrigued by it and part of me wants to try it... Could you tell me a bit more about it? Feel free to PM me rather than hijack this thread haha!

    I'm 168.5cm (5'6.5"?). CW: 122lbs, GW:112lbs.
    I have a medium frame (broad shoulders from swimming *tears*) but I didn't have too much tummy fat when I was 114lbs and I want that. So stick of this bulging fat part on my waist.
