5'7" women, what's your goal weight?

funfang

I am 5'7, currently weight 127lbs, I think 118lb is consider under weight for our height. My lowest was 110 when I was 19, not going there. I was 121 last summer and started to bulk. I think 123~125 is good for me, everyone is different, do what you feel is the best for you. Good luck!

Mine is 140lbs/10st, but only because that's the weight that's right in the middle of a healthy BMI. I've never been that weight in my life bar before puberty, so I'm going to get there and see how I feel. I might lose a little more or gain a little back depending on how I look and feel

I'm 5'7 and currently weigh 153. (I started at 225) and would like to maintain at 140-145. We will see if I can ever drop these last 10 pounds.

I am 5'7/ 5'8 and currently 140 and US size 6. This is the highest I have gotten, I want to get back down to 120ish. I loved my body then.

Abby2205

I started at 141 and my goal was 128 because that was my previous lowest adult weight. Once I got there, I've lowered my goal to 121 just because I'd like to see how I look, and to be able to arbitrarily say that I lost 20 pounds.

Is this what you meant to put? 105 pounds? I just want to be sure.

Cactusgirl88

I'm 5'6" and ultimate goal is 130 lbs but I'll be happy with everything under 160:D

Holla4mom

I'm 5'7" and weigh 178, very high for me. I was at 155 for years, after having four kids and was okay with that. My goal weight is 145 with decent strength (not heavy lifting but resistance/ bodyweight work, etc)

I completely forgot that this was one of the reasons I settled on 128lbs... it will mean I can say I've lost over 3 stone (3 stone 2 lbs), or over 40lbs (44lbs) OR 20kg! It's not important really, but in deciding a goal weight 20kg sounded like a nice round number to have lost and quite an impressive figure!

Size wise I'd like to be a UK8 (US4), I'm currently a UK10-12 (US6-8) at 149lbs, I was firmly in the UK10 (US6) range when I got to around 143lbs last July, I started at UK14-16 at 172lbs, highest was 175lbs a few years back and I was UK16 (US12). Will be interesting to see how weight lifting shifts body weight to clothes size ratios for me!

I started at 200, currently at 179, want to be 156.

I'm 5'7" and now I'm unsure if my goal is too high. I started at 217 lbs and my first goal was 170 (just a random number I picked), I hit that and now I'm at 166 and have now put my goal at 160. Ultimately I'd like to be around 155. I'm a larger framed woman so according to the BMI (which is kind of BS to me but I don't really have any other "guide" to look at) I should be around 150. Once I hit 160, my focus will be on my stomach and arms. I don't care too much about sizes. I'm in between a 10-12 US sizes now.

The hardest thing for me in picking a weight is that this is the lowest I've ever been. EVER. I was a big kid, a big middle schooler, a big adult. I was a size 18 in middle school and the smallest I've ever been as an adult is 175 so I've never been small. I have no concept of what my body will look like lower than it is right now. Does that make sense??

laura2813

I'm 5'7" and am currently 150. My goal is 125 but I plan on incorporating more of a weight lifting program as I get closer to goal weight so the goal may change. I wouldn't mind being a little heavier with more muscle.

I'm 5' 7", and I used to have a goal weight of 135. I'm currently 144 and no longer have a goal weight. I've shifted to the mentality that I don't care what I weigh as long as I'm happy with how my body looks. I came to this realization when I completed the Insanity program and weighed the exact same as when I had started, but my body had totally changed. It's pretty freeing to not care so much about that number on the scale.

I agree! I had a goal weight of 135 in mind (I'm also 5'7"), but I was able to get to 130ish. I then reset my goal to 125, but honestly, I'm so happy with how I look and feel that I don't even care if I never reach that goal. Of course there are still things I don't like about my body, but as long as I continue to feel as good as I do with what I'm eating and doing for exercise, I'm happy! It just feels good to not feel fat anymore.

I'm just over 5'7'' and weigh 150. The lowest I've ever been is 140. So I'm aiming for 145. I'm not too concerned about weight, I'm broad shouldered, thick waist of 31 and hips 39. So I'm going to concentrate on inch loss. I know its mainly my diet as I do run, walk, attend kettle bells and circuit training. I carry weight in the middle. Wine, cheese, bread etc..the main culprits!! It's clear we're all different despite our similar heights!

rolley

5ft7 here.. Was at 120lbs until university.. Left university at 180lbs. Now 137lbs. My goal is 120lbs!!!! So motivated and can't wait to finally get there!!!

jmpags

I'm 5'8, shooting for about 140, but will reassess at 150

bos10fit

5"9 currently 163 with body fat of 20%. This is in my BMI range as I have a large frame & muscular.

I am aiming for the 150s with BF of 17%. I hit 148 and it was impossible to maintain.

wowser5

155 is my goal weight for 5'7". I am not sure if I can get that low, but I will try. I worked out like crazy in college 20 years ago and the lowest I got was 160. So we will see....

EngineerPrincess

I'm ~5'7.5 and have been everywhere from 115-140 since college. I have a very small frame. At 140 I'm sitting all day and eating 2500 calories +, so I feel sluggish and need exercise. Felt my best around 124 so that's sort of my goal, but honestly I'll probably stop when I start to fit all my jeans again (waist ~25") so the more muscle mass I gain the higher it'll probably be.

akb2008

I'm 5'9 my first goal is just to get under 169 (healthy bmi) I'd like to get to 145-150 ultimately but we'll see. I have a really large frame so I don't want to end up looking sick.

knholland818

It's crazy the variations in goal weights for the same height. Obviously I knew they'd be different based on build but not quite as varied as that. I'm 5'7 and the smallest I've been as an adult is 142 lbs. I looked bad though. I lost all my butt and just looked too thin. I want to be fit and strong not skinny. I am at 171 right now and my goal weight is 155-160. I had reached this goal and maintained it for over a year but then I got lazy. So I'm back at it!

laura2813

There are a lot of variations here but you have to take into consideration everyone has a different body type and what looks/feels good on one might not on another. I had my twin daughters at 29 and before I got prego I was under weight (normal for my family). After I had my daughters I kept on a few pounds and looked better but needed to tone. Over the years I've let a few pounds slip in there and now I'm trying to get down to about 125. I have a very small frame with tiny wrist and ankles....my mid section is packing the punch that needs to go. lol
That said... I completely understand the range in goal weights. Everyone is different in a whole lot of ways.

Brittany91389

5'7", at 198, with a goal weight of 150. It's at the top of the healthy range, but I just want to be healthy. I'll set another goal weight when I get there. End goal somewhere between 130-140.

dawnna76

150-160. I have a larger frame and more muscle weight. anything below 150 would be hard for me to pull off and maintain. i currently weigh 195 and where a size 12-14 in pants

IridescentRose

I'm 5'7" and my goal is 125. I have a relatively small frame so it's not unreasonable for my shape.

morningprincess

i'm aiming for a loss- don't really care how much, just as long as it goes in a downward motion

marci2lip

I'm just over 5'6" and currently have my goal weight set for 155. I got down to 148 a couple of years ago and had 22.5% body fat, but couldn't sustain it and am now at 165 after taking off about 9lbs of the regain. I know that 155 is sustainable for me without feeling deprived! Ultimate goal would be to have 23-24% body fat at 155.

Monetp60

I am 5'6". My GW is 165.

JubaGirl06

5'7. 5" I felt great at 175-180. Currently 228

Linzer140fit

I'm 5'7" tall and have a larger frame, broad shoulders, hips, larger wrists, and ankles. I set my goal weight how I look and feel. I weighed less in high school and college, 125 and under, but I don't even know that I could get to that and it was probably too thin. Post college I've weighed 130 to 170. I look great at anywhere between 135 and 145 and currently have a goal of 140 in mind. I currently weight159. I carry my weight all over and people always assume I weigh 15-20 pounds less than I do, also I get thinking "I look fine..why bother!" and don't get around to losing the last 10 pounds. Not this time though. I'm also 51 YO now...getting the scale way down there is haaaard!!
