    5'6" and 238--praying that before I turn 50 (17 years from now) I'll be back at 140...17 years is long enough right?

    5'6 1/2 ....I don't like to say i'm 5'6 cause i'm taller then that, but 5'7 makes me feel like i'm lying

    Current weight is 155

    Goal weight is 140

    So much depends on your frame at this height!! I could NEVER be 120, unless I lost a good majority of my muscle mass and starved myself. I have felt my absolute best at 138!

    I'm 5'6" and weigh 129 but wear an 8/10 because of how untoned I am around the midsection. Always looking for good and motivational loggers and supporters!

    5'6" here as well!

    Started on here at 175 lb after my second daughter was born. I'm currently (and very frustratingly) STUCK at 160-161. My goal is 145. Once I get there I will re-assess. Pleatau's stink!

    Anyone feel free to add me for support! I'm around a lot, especially throughout the week. :drinker:

    Im 5'6 and something, not quite 5'7 though
    Was: 155lbs
    Current:142
    Goal: 125

    i measured myself a few weeks back and the only thing i know is accurate is my 34" bust :(

    I do mostly cardio 3X week for 2 hours, should i start including weight training to see results? I recently up'ed my cal intake from 1200 to 1450 but have been plateaued at current weight for at least a month now. Any suggestions?

    I'm 5' 5.5" -- does that count? :) I started at 135, but am now at 125 with a BF% of 26%. I'm looking to lower my BF% more than the scale number.

    I'm 5'6' and currently at 144 lbs. My initial weight : 150. My goal is to get back to 135 or even 130. I have been doing the 30-Day Shred DVD with Jillian Michaels, but not daily. I find that too boring. I'm getting leaner and enjoy jogging once again. I have had NSV's such as holding a plank pose for an entire minute and being able to jog up a very challenging hill near my house.

    Next I would like to start weights.

    If you've had success with a workout or changed nutrition, please share!

    I'm 5'6" too! I weigh 146 pounds at the minute, but I'm pregnant so that's only going to go up. Hopefully it will stay reasonable this time, and I'll have an easier time losing the preggo pounds once it's all over! Last time I was carrying about 60 pounds excess weight after my daughter was born, and it took me 7 months to get down to a healthy weight. I think that's a healthy amount of time to take over losing it though!
    I could definitely use some help staying motivated and on track, it's even more important during these next few months :)
    Good luck everyone x
