Marcy, I have the Troy Lite system which I love, but it doesn't offer weights in odd sizes. The bar is 5#, and plates come in increments of 2.5#, 5#, 7.5#, and 10#. I've seen something called "fractional plates" but I don't remember where. They were thin metal plates that came in various weights, starting with 1/2# I think. My memory is a little sketchy on that.

I have 1.25# Troy Lite plates, but I don't think they make them anymore. Other manufacturers might.
I just used a 65# bar for these.

Thanks Kathryn! After reading your post I did a search and found some 1.25# plates here:

FIRM barbell owners...
For those of you who have the ancient FIRM barbell (like me ... also ancient ;-)), it came with 1.25 lb plates. I use those puppies all the time for a little add-on, and the bar itself (11 lbs) is a nice substitute for a BodyBar!

RE: FIRM barbell owners...
I've got the old Firm barbell, too. Love those little weights. Let's you bounce up just a touch when you need to. I also really like the fact that it's shorter than other barbells, which makes it a little easier to handle (and store) and I like the padding on it. It only goes to 40# total, but for now, that's sufficient.
