    105 for me, but I'm 5 inches shorter than you are...you probably should aim for higher than that :)

    I used these tools to help me determine my goal weight:

    Here is a great tool to calculate goal weight based on body fat %: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ibw/

    Here is a tool to help calculate body fat % if you don't have access to calipers or another better method: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/

    And finally, here is a link to a great post about daily calorie goals based on body fat %: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

    I'm 5'6" as well. I've been down (years ago) to weights between 122 and 140, and been slim. The difference was how much muscle I was carrying at the time. When I was 140, I had a heavy lifting job (yes, I'm a girl) and plenty of muscle, and I was about as slim as when I was 122. 122, I had very little muscle, and was slim but not healthy. Aim for about 145, then do some cardio and weights to get your shape right for you.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal is 140. I feel really good at 145, so I'll probably shoot for staying between 140-145 permanently.

    10% or less body fat percentage.
    Not a good goal for a woman though.

    OP - not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but http://www.mybodygallery.com/ can be quite helpful to see what different women look like at certain heights & weights. If anything, it shows you what huge variation there is.
