    My problem these days are not the pant lengths because I usually wear heels and that makes up for being too long, my problem is my round apple midsection. I swear I wish they would make more elastic pants until I loose a few more pounds so I don't always have to go up a size to get a decent fit.

    Well, here's to average. 5'5"
    Did I read a thread that your BMI says 111 lbs?? That sounds so thin... I'm hoping and working for high 130s.

    Yes, I agree111 seems so low, but I guess it depends on how you carry it too. The lowest I ever was in my adult life was 130 and I had a VERY hard time staying there. I hope I can be 140-145 but I'll see where I am at 150 and if I'm happy with that. More fat to lose but I'm starting to tone up under my jelly ;-)

    I was surprised by it too and wanted to cry but it's motivation. I celebrate each and every pound I loose so I am not trying to make a goal for myself that I know will be close to impossible to obtain.

    My goal weight is 130.... I really don't remember weighing this little...ever. I remember being 140 in high school, but I was always very athletic and active. Maybe it was muscle? If it turns out I can't get to 130 because I'm not built that way, I'm fine with that!! I'd love to be 140-150 and strong.

    Weight definitely looks different on everyone....at 135 I know I look like I'm 115....any smaller does not look very healthy on me....20lbs to go!! :-)

    I'm 5'5" too!!!!! Please add me.

    "Average" weight for a 5'5" woman at 30 is 120-150 (according to my doctor). But I agree that every body type is different....bone density, muscle mass, etc. For me, when I got in the 130's (I've gained A LOT since then) I was a size 5 and friends/family started telling me I was starting to look too thin, but my sister is 5'4" at 109 (equivalent of 114 if she was an inch taller) and looks perfectly healthy....so who knows.....

    Hi! I'm 5'5" too. What do we have to moan about then hey that we are too average??? I always find trousers too long but i think because i have short legs. Any others here have that problem? :)

    I have that problem too. For some reason, Junior sized jeans (when i could fit into them) and NY & Co pants seem to always be the right length. When I buy designer jeans they are ALWAYS too long....same with Cabi and other nicer brands. It seems like the larger the size, the longer the pant. Just because I gained a few sizes, doesn't mean I also grew taller.

    I like that people are posting their goal weights. It's nice to see what others are shooting for at our height. Right now I am shooting for 150, but my ultimate goal will be 140 or 145.
