5'7. At goal weight of 137lbs for almost a year now. Lost 46lbs.

I'm 5'8 and currently 243. I'm definitely athletic and gain muscle really easily. I look good at anything under 170 and have been as low as 143. I'd say 150 is probably my ideal weight but I'm aiming for 165 at the moment to just creep into the normal BMI range!

Polishprincess83

I am 5'7 and 3/4. I went from being 212 lbs to currently at 173. My ultimate weight goal is 162 due to my large bone mass. Since reaching 173 lbs I am more focus on toning than losing weight. I used to be athletic and you can still tell that there is an athletic build about me. Just need to keep on toning.

Beploveshomer

Im 5'8" and 180 right now. I am large framed and muscular, plus have 36 G breasts that weigh a ton and don't go down much with weight loss, my final goal weight is no less than 160.

I'm 5'8" 185 and still have lots of body fat to go. My sister is 5'8" and 135 and is very slim, but gracile, not athletic. The lowest she ever got was 127 after a flu (aka NOT a healthy weight!)

I love that you used "gracile" in a sentence!

Hi! I'm 5'8 but have a hour glass type body and luckily my body is pretty well proportioned. I started at 203 (which many people didn't believe I was because of my shape) and am now 183. I don't see much of a different at all between the two weights, but its shows that people can look different at different weights depending on their bodies! Although i like my body shape, I do want to get to 170 or 165 but not too low where I would lose my shape.

jwcanfield

5'7 1/2". At 29 got down to 135 and looked really great in photos - model thin. But couldn't keep it there. 150 is a goal for me now, and am still quite slender-looking at that. Now in 60s and less muscular, but still broad-shouldered, long arms, prominent bones, muscular legs. Face shows weight (grrr) and get this less than fabulous fat-back when past 170. Never get into those tiny clothing sizes even at slimmest, so that is not and never was a goal.

I'm 5"7" Struggled my whole life to get into the 150s but struggled to maintain it. I switched my focus to building as much natural muscle as I can with heavy lifting and cut most cardio out. I just finished a bulk and weigh 172. My cut goal will be in the low 160's I'm hourglass shaped. 41/29/42 and wear a comfortable size 6 pant. I think I'm about 20% bf.

kwoeguy

I'm 5'7", currently 142lbs (down from 220lbs). I have a pretty slender frame but I'm an average build (although my legs are stocky as hell!).

P.S. I'm not a guy, accidentally posted this on my husband's account!

I'm 5'7.5" and 170lb would love to be 140 but I just can't maintain that weight. This time I'm aiming for 150lb. Definitely not athletic build although I do a fair bit of exercise but at the same time I love my food. I find that on my body 160 looks good, or definitely makes me feel good, but I'm sure at that weight it means that I am classed as over weight, wish I wasn't a slave to the scales

No, I think that you are not classed as overweight at 160 - or, if so, then just barely. There are lots of different classification models these days. I know fitness magazine (http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/health/ideal-weights-for-women/) gives guidelines on how to determine frame size.

I"m 5'8" - 153lbs 24% BF Measurements Bust 38, Waist 32, Hips 39 Depending on the clothing brand, I'm a 6-8 dress size.

My fitness routine is heavy lifting 2x week, HIIT quickies 2-3x week and Vinyasa yoga on Sundays. Macros are set at 50/25/25

My highest weight was 180 after my pregnancies, my lowest was 143lbs but my body fat was 30%! Yuck! lol Today I feel good in my body and happy with the strength and lean mass gains over the years

dawnsnarks

I'm 5'8" and currently maintaining at 130 for about 9 months now, down from 180. My 'shape' can best be described as 'tree trunk' as my short torso means practically no waist. BF is around 22%. I wear anything from a US 4 to a US 8 though I did manage to zip up a size 2 skirt that my aunt gave me that I tried on out of curiosity. That was a bizarre feeling.

I'm 5'9" and 150 with an athletic build.

ashleigh315

I'm currently 175 and my goal weight is around 125. That's at the low end of the healthy weight for 5'7. I was 125 7 years ago and felt and looked good (still had a figure). I really think it depends on your body composition.

I'm 5'7...GW 145.

I eat 1200-1300 calories a day, plus workout 5x a week. Some say I should eat more.. But I feel energized and can still function completely right. I have lost 30 pounds woot woot !!

I'm 5ft 7" and currently 177. Trying to get to 145 - Think around 140 is maintainable and a nice size for 5.6-5.8 heights . However, if you do a lot of resistance/muscle building you may be heavier than that but look leaner. Totally depends how you carry too! I'm an apple.x

I'm 5'7 and 177 lbs currently. I've lost 10 pounds in the last couple months, and I feel a lot better. I'm pear shaped, and my optimal weight is probably 160.

tarabole

I'm 5'8 and 148 but I wear a smaller size than I did when I was 135 because my body composition has changed so much due to weight training.

heatherlewisis

I'm 5'7". My heaviest weight was 260 after I had my last baby, current weight 167.8, and a size 8... My goal is 155... If I still feel like I want to lose more when I get there then I'll keep going... But I have had 6 children and have no fantasies or dreams about being any kind of swimsuit model, so I am thinking I may be happy with 155. I am also pretty muscular.

I lost steadily on 1800 + exercise calories. (I wanted to lose less than 20 lbs.)

How much do you weigh and how active are you? Depending on those factors, how much you can eat will vary wildly.

If you aren't comfortable giving that information, then I would probably say to start at around 1500 or 1600 and see how that works out for you.

xaoifex

Im 5ft 7 and weight in at 160lb! My start weight was 200lb and my goal is 140 I am currently a uk12 but would love to be a toned 10 so thats my next milestone!!

Duchy82

5ft7 starting weight 237lbs, current weight 175lbs, goal for now 160lbs which would get me just into a normal BMI. At the moment I'm a UK 12/14 (pear shape) and haven't been this weight since my teens. My goal weight may change when I get there but we'll see, if I'm happy I may just try and maintain there for a while then reassess.

bonsmom

I'm 5'8" and weigh 136 lb right now after losing 33 lbs. I'm pretty happy with how I look. I love my arms and can now wear a bikini. Yea!! I work out 5x week and include both cardio and weight/strength training.
