5'5 people out there... what is your goal weight??


Quote  |  Reply
I'm 5'5. I currently weight 127. According to the BMI index i'm currently in a healthy weight range. This day and age everybody strives to be thin, unfortunately I also fall into such category. I wish to weight 120. I'm just wondering people out there who are my height... how much do you wish to weight and what are your current weight.

Thanks so much!

hi :) my weight as of sunday morning was 157...  my goal is suppose to be 135 ... but i am thinking i would be much happy in the low 120's.. as i am very small boned... 
Im 5'4.. sometimes 5'5 .. on good days hahaha

I weigh 111 at the moment.. and my  goal is to get to a 17 Bmi.. witch is about 10 lbs lighter then my current status. : )
I am 5'5" and am currently at 186.5 (yikes!) but when I started my lifestyle change the day after Christmas I was 199.5, so I figure I'm doing okay.  When I started my goal was 145, but I have since changed it to 135.  I am fairly big-boned and any less than that would have me looking far to boney!  Plus I'm really working on increasing my fitness level, and muscle weighs more... so I'll base this on how my clothes fit, not so much what the scale says!
I'm 5'5", and my goal weight is 130.  My current weight is 197.  I know, I have a long way to go.  I honestly have no idea what I will be comfortable at because it's been 13 years and 4 kids ago since I've been at 130.  I don't even know if my body will go that low, or if I can even maintain that.
my goal is 140 lbs.  i love my curves.  i don't want to lose my curves.  my bf loves my curves.  many others have complimented me for my shape.  if i lose too much i think i'd look too sickly.  i just want to get into a healthy range and tighten up a little.  fit and healthy that's what i want.  not thin.
megandeth - you are underweight as it is.  losing another 10lbs can be severly harmful to you.  please, please, please speak to your doctor about this.
I'm 5'5", my goal is 135. May take it down to 130 when I get there but I think that might be too low. My bf likes my curves too, lily. :)
I believe someone posted this on another forum:

I found it incredibly useful to check whether or not my goal weight was too extreme.  A lot of the debate rests on your frame size.  What I particularly like about this site is that it gives you a range---you can be healthy at something other than a particular point. 

Good luck.  Oh, and personal advice to megandeth---yes, please please take other's advice and mine---get to a physician.  You CAN be too skinny!   I've been there myself.  I wish I could go back in time and talk to myself about it---I could have spared myself the damage I did to my body, my heart, my health, my mind, and my metabolism. =(  I don't want anyone to go through that! 
lily, I'm with you, curvy women unite! LOL My goal is 140-135. Or a size 8-10. I'm currently a size 12-14.

I started out at 178 and my goal weight is 120-125.  That's what I was when I graduated high school and got married and it is a good weight for my body type/height which is obviously 5'5"!  I am now at 163 so I am on my way!
I'm 5'6" and my goal weight is about 130.  I was pretty stable at about 133 for many years without really trying, but over the last year I've gained 10 pounds (more on some days!) and am having a hard time losing anything.  People tell me that your body changes as you get older, but I don't want to accept that and I don't want to buy bigger jeans. 
Nani, you stink with your beautiful curves.

Tomboy figures unite! (At least I still have an ass.) ;-)
I have 5 ft 5 and 22 years old. My goal is to be 132 << Random I know! lol...
im 16 y/0 my goal weight is 124-128 due to my bone frame, im currently 112-113, at least im not at my lowest point anymore ( 106.5 pounds!)

i have to gain back at least 10 pounds of lost muscle... doctors orders.

ummm meganDeth: you are already underweight, trust me losing more weight and losing even more muscle is the WORST thing you can do(all it does is nukes your metabolism and makes it pathetically slow). IF anything you should gain a bit of weight, not lose. Trust me its stinking hard to gain 10 pounds of muscle back, so dont do what i did. please???
5'5, 24yrs old.  Current weight 167lbs but already a size 8.  Honestly, I would love for someone to tell me how I am at this size, but the weight I am at is quite unhealthy.  Trying to work towards 130lbs.  Hubby loves my curves, too.  Trying not to lose too much of my girls or my butt!

On CC for 2 weeks and lost about 2.5 lbs.
I am 5'4'' and my goal weight is 115. That's just what I feel comfortable at and of course it depends on your frame as well.  I have a small frame so 10 pounds on me is 20 pounds on someone bigger framed or taller.

I am shocked to read how many people (like me) are struggling with a stubborn 10-15 pounds (creeping on as I get older and not coming off so easy).  Makes feel like I'm not alone as I feel.

I am 5'3-5'4 and my goal is 115-120 but I have a petite frame.  I am "healthy" in the BMI chart too but I know I can be lower--right now I'm at 135.  I guess my thoughts are that I can shoot for 115 and if I hit those last few "hard to lose" lbs, at least I stopped short in a place I can live with.  Everyone is so different in personality as to what motivates them...
hey superduper. i'm 22 with a small frame, and my goal weight is about 125.  that puts me at around a 20-21 BMI, which is the lower end of the healthy BMI range.  i'm sure you'd be okay around 120 (especially if you're younger--i wouldn't mind getting down to that, but it may be a little bit too ambitious for me--i started at 165 in november and am now about 148), but the main thing is just to make sure you don't go below an 18 bmi.
