    Im 5'5.5 and my goal weight at the moment is 160lbs. I started at 246.6lbs January 9, 2012. Today i am 212.0 so im getting closer but still a long ways off. Once i reach my goal, i will re-evaluate and go from there.

    I'm just under 5'5" and my goal weight (I think) is 130~135. I've had three children though and I have no idea if that's where I'll feel good or if I could lose more or less and feel great. Just a rough number :) my first goal is 145 though to get back to my pre all babies weight :) I plan on being in better shape so I may be heavier then I was at certain sizes due to muscle.

    I am 5'5 and am hovering between 123 and 125. My aim is 120, but am happy where I am (I have been maintaining for 7 months now), so not busting a gut to lose another 3 lbs!

    I am 5"5, and my goal weight is about 110 pounds. I know that sounds extremely low for my height, but I have a very small bone structure and am extremely petite, so I look rather athletic at that weight, rather than bony. (I am currently about 112)

    I am 5'5" and mine is 115, with 14% body fat. I am currently 130 with 20% body fat.

    I am actually more focused on the body fat than the number on the scale.


    ETA: My starting weight was 120 and I am 34

    oh wow, looking at other people's mine seems really low aha

    I'm currently 110lb and my goal weight is 100lb.

    It's low because I have more fat around my waist which endangers my health more than anywhere else ^^ I just need tot lose it c:

    Age 40. . . 5'5" girl. . . Starting weight 168.....first goal 140. . . second goal 135. . . presently slightly below second goal. With the muscle I'm trying hard to build on top of my running, I don't think below 135 is gonna work for my body type. I comfortably wear size 6 pants so, I'm happy here. 125 wouldn't look good on me, but it may look great on you!!! Good luck!!

    I'm 5'5" my SW was 180 lbs, and my GW is 130 lbs. I'm working on it and I'm happy with the way I've improved, but I have a certain way I want my body to look and the little gut isn't working. (That's all I"m really trying to lose, once it's gone I don't care anymore).
    Edit: I'm 31 BTW.

    I'm 5'5", 47 years old and my current weight is 136-138 (I gain and lose the same 2 pounds constantly). My highest weight last year was 156, and I thought my goal might be 130. When I was a little younger and running consistently my best was 128. I've started weight training, though, so am paying less attention to the scale and more attention to muscle definition, how I feel, and how my clothes are fitting. So now I'm thinking that my goal shouldn't be a weight, but maybe a clothes size. I can wear US 8 and sometimes 6s. A consistent 6 would be nice, and I wouldn't be unhappy if I hit a 4!

    I'm 5'5" and my goal is 135. After that, I plan on really concentrating on getting toned. I'm a curvy girl and really don't want to lose that (the boobs and the butt) while still maintaining a healthy weight.

    I'm 5'5" and I was 122-125 in high school. Now that I'm 35, I would like to be 133-135. I have a medium frame. Good luck with your goal whatever you ultimately pick
