Hi everyone! If you are about 5'8 (between 5'7 and 5'9 ish), what's your goal weight?
Basically...how much should I optimally weigh do you think?
Anyone can input really, but I'm asking specifically for other girls/women my height!

Im 5'8" and a small frame, my original goal weight was 140 lbs, however since going gluten free and training for a half marathon I made it down to 133!! I definitely wont go any lower, I have been eating about 2000 calories a day! But I am in the best shape of my life today and am feeling great!! Good luck in your weight loss journey!0

I"m 5'7" and ultimately aiming for 140-145lbs. I've been that weight before and really liked it.0

I'm 5'8" and am at my goal weight of 117.0
-
im 6'0 and my weight should be between 140-170 if you check out your bmi you will be able to find a weight that would be healthy for you. I'm aiming for 150-1600
-
5'8 here and my goal is 145. Only 10 pounds to go! Now once I get there, I may decide to go down to 135.0
-
I'm 5'7" according to one doctor and 5'7 1/2" according to another. I don't have an ultimate goal weight yet. I always said 150 but I've never been anything but morbidly obese. I guess I won't know until I get there tbh. Part of me feels like anything below 175 is pushing it, like can't handle anything too low. But I'm not sure, I have no experience with it.0

I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is between 135-145. I have a medium build.0

im always surprised when 5'8 girls have such low weights or goal weights, you must have super tiny frames! I have a medium frame and my goal is 160 with an ultimate goal weight of 150. I am currently just under 1800
-
I'm 5'8" with a muscular build, and I'm pretty lean and love how I look when I'm about 140. 135 was great too but very difficult for me to maintain and not really worth the lifestyle modifications that went along with it. I look pretty decent around 145.0
-
I'm 5'9" and my goal is 135. I think I will be ok at 140 but I would love to see if I can get down to 135.0
-
I'm 5' 8" and would be happy with 155 but really would love to be closer to 145.0
-
5'7..currently hovering between 135-140, and my goal is 120-125!0
-
I'm 5'8", medium build and my goal weight is 150. Honestly, I'd like to have a lower number (vain, I know) but I carry a lot of muscle (172 lbs, approximately 26% body fat) and I'm not willing to shed any of it to make that happen.0
-
I'm 5"8 and my goal is 65-70kg, I dunno what that is in pounds, I feel if I go lower than this I lose my sexy curves and just look far to skinny0
-
I'm 5"7, I currently weigh around 115 but I would really like to get more toned & put on 5 lbs. I've been as low as 107, and let me tell you, that's not attractive0
-
I'm roughly 5'8" and my goal weight is around 150ish0
-
i'm 5'8 and range between 124-126lbs and am ok with my weight but would prefer to be around 1200

This pretty much sums it up.
I'm 5'8" as well.0 -
I'm 5'8 and a half and my goal weight is 140, or lowest 135! Feel free to add me.0
-
I'm 5'9" and I'm shooting for 160-165. I've been 145 at my lowest - look WAY to skinny and unhealthy. The girl that posted 117 as her goal weight at 5'8" to me seems like a very underweight goal and not healthy. Look at the BMI chart. If you shoot for right in the middle, you will look great. I weigh 181 right now and people think I'm already at my goal.0
-
I'm 5'8" and my goal is 135 lbs and 24% body fat. I'm 3 lbs away from my goal now and 28% body fat, so while I only have a couple of pounds to go, I need to tone up significantly. This is the slow part.0
-
i'm 5'9.5" and my original goal was 140 but im striving for 135 now.0
-
I'm 5'9" and my original goal was 145, but I'm toying with 140. I suspect that might be too hard for me to maintain, but it's worth a shot.0
-
I am 5'7" (ish)...I guess I would want my goal weight to be about 125 (again, ish) because that would make my body fat about 19%.0
-
I'm 5'7" and I would love to be 160, for my height I'd say ideal weight is supposed to be 135-150. I have a medium to large build -- I'm a triangle, so I have broad shoulders, and I tend to put on weight, but now that's muscle rather than fat. I'm not sure I would be willing to restrict my calories another two months to get down to 150. At this point, under 200 would be fabulous and I'd be happy with that!0
-
5'8 here and GW is 120-130lbs. Anything lower and I'd look too sickly.0
-
125 to 130. When I'm eating really clean (focusing on nutrients rather than calories) I find it fairly easy to eat the number of calories to sustain that weight.
When I'm eating lots of processed foods, I find it harder to keep my weight down and it tends to creep up to the 145ish range.0 -
I'm 5'8" and currently at 146, I would LOVE to get down to 130 (my weight before kids).0

I'm just over 5 ft 9 and had body comp analysis done. My lean muscle mass is 157.1 lbs! My goal weight is now 180 lbs, and that's if I lean out to 135 lbs of muscle mass, and have 25% body fat. In order to get there, I'm weight training 3x per week and doing interval cardio 4x per week.
I would strongly suggest that you have a body composition analysis done, by someone certified (Pinch testing) at a minimum in order to set a goal weight. Especially after reading the goal weights on here. Everyone has a different build, and it's important for someone trained to take a look and help you set a realistic goal. Everyone's healthy weight varies.0
