mine too :) what is your weight now? maybe we can be goal weight buddies!
i'm 5'5 1/2 (close enough)

my goal weight 126
I'm 5'7 and my goal weight is 120 as well.  I'm less than 10 pounds away!
I have a much longer way=]

I'm at 175, I'd like to be at 120 by September.

Congrats Caitlin!

 

Yikes!

I'm 5'6", 42, and my initial goal is 145, currently 160ish.    I want to be fit but have no desire to be skinny. Maybe when I get to 145 I'll want to go lower. 

I weighed 118 in college once, when I was running 7-12 miles per day and thought it was too skinny for me.   

I am 5'6", 43.  Currently 138, would like to be 125.  I don't know if I will look good at 120.  So, will decide later.

I'm 5'6" and 160 pounds.  My initial goal is 135 because I know I'm happy and healthy at that weight, but once I get there, I  might try to go lower.  I've never been thinner than 140, so I can't even imagine weighing 120.
Mine is 130 for starters. I am currently at 156 as of last Thursday. Ive only been at this for 6 weeks and I lost a decent 9 pounds. well see how it goes.
i'm 5'6 my goal is 130 to 135. when i get any lower than that i look terrible. when i gain i gain all over my body, not just in one spot. but when i go below 135 my eyes look hollow. i do have very long legs and arms and am muscular though so that might be why

I'm kind of surprised at how many 5'6ers want to be 120. My 5'6 goal is 135. I feel like there won't be enough of me below 130! I do have kind of large hips and shoulders though.  Maybe I will change my mind when I get there...
I'm 5'6" and my gw is 118.  i have a smallll frame.  124 now!  woop.  
haha i'm 5'6" and my goal is 160. according to my recent body fat test I have 120 pounds of lean mass alone! so i def wouldn't be able to get to 120 unless i wanted to lose a whole bunch of muscle alogn with the fat!
I'm 5'6" and currently 148lbs. My goal is 125lbs. I would like to reach this goal by september but I'm pretty sure I screwed myself over by eating only like 200 calories a day for a couple months. I made myself pretty sick but I'm back up to like 1000 cals a day. My worry is that I will gain weight from now increasing the calories to a normal amount. I doubt I will ever reach my goal but I have to hope. My highest weight was 220 lbs and I lost most of it, 23 lbs to go. but it seems pretty hopeless right now :(
I'm 5'5 1/2, but my driver's license says 5'6, lol.  I'm 135 now--the scale won't budge--but my goal weight is between 120-125.  

I am 46 years old

height is 5'6

i weigh 132

want to get down to 125

bood luck to you

I must have had Amazons in my past family! When I graduated high school, I weighed 137.  My ribs, collar bone, & hip bones stuck out. My face was shrunken in.  I had strangers asking me if I was anorexic! (Late 80's when the first real education about Anorexia came out.)

I'm 5'6", 37, I have large bone structure and weigh 235 (down from 253!). I have a hourglass shape (just holds a couple hours of sand right now!).  I wear my weight all over so most people are shocked when I tell them how much I actually weigh! (Of course they also think I'm about 10 years younger too!)

I'd really like to get to 149 (Just to see that other big block go!), but I will be happy under 160.

i'm 5'5 1/2 and my goal weight is 115. Right now I'm at 125 and it's soooo hard to get past that number.
110!
Currently 97 but it. Won't. Stay. ON! >< UGH! I look so gross.
I'm 132 now and was 172 back in July 2007. My goal weight is 124, but that's contingent on a few things. I carry all my weight in my legs and butt, and of course that's the last place the weight is beginning to come off. So if my goal makes my legs look good, then super. Otherwise I figure I have two options
   a) Keep counting calories and lose just a bit more (120?). CC says that 117 is underweight for our height, 5'6". So I don't want to get too low.
   b) Start exercising. I've done all my weight loss so far based on calorie counting alone. I've tried to walk and take the stairs when possible but that hardly counts as an exercise routine. I figure that I miss my curvy butt (is sort of hanging and flabby now) and I would love to have a firm rear and shapely legs. So I might have to get off my duff and do something about it, rather than just eating 1200 calories.

So my attack strategy is get to 124 and see how I look and feel. Then maybe I can turn on the exercise and get my final, non-weight related goal of looking and feeling good.
