    SW was 214. As of today I am 168. My current goal is 155. I will maintain that for a couple months then reassess

    I'm 5'8" and currently 137lb, down from a starting weight of 168. My goal was 140, now is 135, though I'm not trying as hard to loose weight now as I am pretty much happy with where I am.

    5'7" and I look and feel good at 135. I was 135 for most of middle school and high school (stopped gaining height around age 12). Gained in college but got back down to 135 after. Then gained through two pregnancies and my postpartum starting weight was 212. Now at 175.

    Am going to get to healthy BMI (159) for sure, then lose until I'm a comfortable size 12. Prolly 150-155. After that, I'm going to concentrate on fitness and see where I end up.

    But 135 seems like a common goal for 5'7" people.

    Genetics, frame size, musculature and preferred body aesthetics make this impossible to answer

    For a population guide use BMI for a range

    But people like me who find 160 my optimum at 5'8 will be just as happy as people who find 130-135 optimum
