5'7 ladies what are your goal weights!

I bookmarked this thread a while ago and thought I posted. It has been interesting reading everyone's goals!

As someone who is also 5'7", I don't have a solid weight target per se. All I want out of life is to have a body fat percentage between 21% and 24%. I'm ~4% off the upper range as of now and don't expect to hit goal before next Spring.

I'm 5'6-ish and would love to be around 145 lbs with a good amount of lean muscle on my frame.

I am 5"5" and currently weight 255 lbs. My goal for right now would be 200, and then I'll see how I feel. Ideally, I would like 165 lbs. I am almost 71, in a mobile chair most of the time because of osteoarthritis in both knees. This precludes intense exercise, so I'm not fooling myself.

I'm 5'7" and currently fluctuating between 161-164, down from 167.5 (and several inches down in body measurements) from a couple of months ago. I'm 31. Aiming for about 145, but honestly I'll be very happy if I can hit and maintain the mid-150s. More on why below!

167.5 was my highest recorded weight--I started in the mid 140s in early 2018, then rapidly gained to the upper 150s after dealing with a very stressful life event and severe depression. The last ten pounds of my weight gain were mostly as I finished my PhD in the last year or so.
I found it pretty easy to maintain a weight under 150 while exercising only very moderately just a couple years ago, when I was 29 (so my weight gain was not due to some great mysterious slowdown in my metabolism due to aging!). I didn't have a whole lot of muscle, and my only exercise was walking a mile or so to work, hikes with my partner, and some occasional heavier cardio.

I went from being completely sedentary earlier this year to keeping a five-day-a-week exercise schedule, which I've maintained since the beginning of this May, upping duration and intensity as I adapted to higher activity levels. One of the things I started doing then was weight training. Another is bodyweight exercises (including as cardio/HIIT). Because of both of those things, I think I've gained a good amount of muscle, possibly more than I've ever had before. I think I still have a pretty high body fat percentage, but the measurements and photos don't lie--even without an astronomical weight loss, I've still lost a significant amount of fat. I've been tracking food for the past six weeks and losing slowly, but continuing to lower my measurements.

There's still a part of me that is nostalgic for my two-years-ago body, so I don't think I'll completely give up on the idea of aiming for 145. But if I keep gaining strength and endurance and find that it's hard to drop the last 5-10 pounds without starving myself, I'll be pretty happy staying there as long as I can and enjoying my new muscles!

I'm 5'7 and would like to get back to 175ish. On me, that's a good weight. I have a medium frame and a lot of muscle from lifting. I also have loose skin - my highest weight was around 350 lbs full term pregnant with twins.

At 175 I was wearing US size 4 top and 6 - 8 bottom (classic pear shape, nothing changed that!) But after losing 160+ lbs and maintaining it for a few years, the weight did creep back on. Currently 250ish.

Shooting for 150 for sure. Anyone is more than welcome to add me as a friend. Please send a message with the request. I’ve been on here since 2009, had a good run the first 6 years. Then divorce happened (yay. For real), I stopped counting, I stopped running. Here I am trying again and practically starting over. Been doing intermittent fasting.
