    I'm 5'7"-I like to keep it around 135. I am closer to 140 in my profile picture, and around 130 in the picture of my abs. If you have a small build, 130 might be ok. For me, it is difficult to maintain. Some people look better at 150 and larger. Personally it is my goal to bulk and cut and eventually maintain around 140+.

    See how you feel at 150! 172 is a bangin' start, congratulations on what you've achieved so far!

    I'm not necessarily going for a specific weight, but I'm trying to get to 18-24% body fat. If I hit that range at 170, awesome, if it doesn't come until 150, that's fine too. I know that I weighed about 175lbs in 8th grade & was pretty close to thin. We'll see when I get there. I do know one thing for sure, what you weigh is no one's business other than you & your physician. Your boyfriend's mother sounds like a know-it-all jerk. I hope her son is a lot more sensitive/decent than her.

    It is really hard to tell, since everyone has a different body. I started at 250lbs and my original goal was 150lbs. I got to 150lbs and then decided to go down to 140lbs. I am starting to think I may shoot for 135lbs then bulk/cut.

    Whatever number you set, you will likely change the number as you get closer to goal. I am 5'7.

    Also, my goal is to eventually enter a professional bikini competition and go on stage...so I also keep that in mind when deciding on my goal.

    I'm 177 and my goal is to be sexy...whatever that number is. It might be 177, who knows?

    There are so many ranges. The thing is my goal is about 145. I maintained from 135-140 for a few years around 20. I'm currently 160. I feel like I always look good at so many sizes but I had an eating disorder so it is so hard to tell. Also I'm 5'7.5" if that makes a difference.

    I'm 5"7, start weight 205 also :) my first 'goal' is 160, as that will put me in the healthy BMI range. I know BMI is generally considered pretty inaccurate but I'm just using it as a starting point :) once I've got to 160 I'll see how I feel about losing more weight/working on gaining muscle etc. :)

    Definitely don't listen to some arbitrary number a person tosses at you -- first of all, it's rude, and second of all, it's meaningless.

    I'm 5'6'' and currently 137 and a size 6. My ultimate goal weight is 128 but I have a pretty hard time maintaining under 135. I think 150 can be a totally healthy weight for 5'7'' - don't listen to people, they're dumb :)

    II've actually been wanting to post this myself! I currently am between 5'6 1/2"- 5'7" with a medium frame (so size 6 usually) and at 153 lb (started at 167) and have my goal set as 145 lb. The lowest I've ever been is between 140-145 and I was happy there, but so many people online seem to think 135-137 would be better which leaves me conflicted. I don't know if I'd be happy in the 130s so I'm gonna wait until I get to my goal of 145 and reevaluate from there (:

    I must be short for a guy but I am shooting for 163 I weighed that in 1986 while dating my future wife. I would love to be that or 150 to 155. Don't remember the last time I weighed that.

    That's my plan and thoughts too.

    Honestly I don't know what my frame is, probably a medium. However I am 5'7 with a start weight of 159, current of 155 and goal of 120-125 (with a stop temporarily at 135 to evaluate if I should go lower).

    My goal weight is 175. I'd look freakishly skinny if I went below 160.

    I'm 5'7 and maintaining in the high 170s with around 25% body fat. I'm currently injured but I usually lift heavy. Every body is different! At this weight I am technically still "overweight" by BMI yet I fit size small. I don't necessarily want to lose weight on the scale, but I am working towards 20% body fat. I started at 329lbs and closer to 50% body fat, so I do also have a bit of loose skin. I was shooting for 159 lbs but I want all the muscles :D

    I don't understand any of these threads - and there's millions of them, and yes I've taken part in them previously.

    Someone else's weight on scale goal has absolutely no relevance to your own weight on scale goal. It simply can't because of genetic predisposition to where you carry fat, frame size, bone density, musculature

    For example the healthy range for my height of 5'8 is 122lbs to 165lbs .. that's a 43lbs difference (excluding any outliers). I've been at maintenance since February at around 160lbs and I'm delighted with my size 6-8 body

    ... does that mean others of my height should aim for my weight .. maybe, maybe not? Others might be 'fat' at this weight.

    Weight on scale means little. Other people's weight on scale means absolutely nothing

    I am 5'8" and there was no way I could ever get to 130 and look healthy; I'd be a skeleton. Even at 150 you could count all my ribs and I was having messages from concerned friends that I had lost too much weight. That being said, I was still a size 8 or 10 in clothes because I have a build like a linebacker (even after 45lbs of weight-loss, my bra strap was still at a 38).

    I like to set smaller short-term goals and go from there. See how your body looks and feels at 150; it may be just your size!

    I'm about 5'7.5 and I'm not too sure what my exact goal weight is. I want to be able to comfortably wear size 8 UK jeans, so that's my real goal. I'm thinking it will be somewhere between 120 and 130. I know I don't want to go below 120 as that will put me underweight. Maybe you could think about what clothing size you want to be rather than a specific weight?
