    I'm 5'7" and currently 182, my goal is in the 150 range. I was in that range prior and it was to me, the perfect weight for my height (size 6-8) because of my frame.

    Keep your frame size in mind - that's why at different heights there are a range of "healthy" weights. Someone with a frame smaller than me will look a lot heavier at 150 than I would.

    Edited to correct my weight - typo!

    I don't think it's about scale # but body fat %. I think it's important to find out what your lean body mass # is and then plan from there. Even though we are 5' 7" we are going to carry our weight differently based on % of body fat.

    Kind of depends on your bone structure, your muscle mass and body type. I'm just over 5'7" and currently weigh 124 pounds. I'm a size 1/2. I looked fine at 135 as well and was a size 5/6. At my current weight I'm at a body fat of 17%.

    I'm 5'7 right now 150 ( size 10) but hoping to get back down to my pre baby weight of 140lbs. I was 128 in high school but that was too small for my body shape. I hoping to get into lifting soon so I will be toned and not focus so much on the scale.

    I am close to 5'9" almost 31 and currently 135lbs. My goal is 128lbs and 18% or less body fat.

    I am a medium bone frame, my weight right now is healthy and attractive, but I want to be athletic so to me that is lower body fat, more lean muscle. If I obtain my goal measurements for body fat at 135lbs then that's cool, but usually I am 128lbs when I am at my goal.

    The BMI chart gives a wide range, I think it's all what you want to look like. Do you want to be extremely fit with definition? Do you want to be fit but not have all the muscle definition? Do you just want to lose some weight and muscle isn't relative at all? I think after you start losing weight you will find YOUR happy weight. No one can really tell you what will make you happy.

    Good luck!

    I,m 5'7, the heaviest i've ever been was 144, and I was getting short of breathe and all that, but the reason too was because I ate nothing but junk. My lowest was 125 but maintaining it was kind of difficult, I did aerobics at least 4 days a week for that weight, then I started nursing school, lo and behold, I gained 10 pounds but I seriously don't know where its packed. Since I'm done with school, I can get back to my workout. I'm currently between 133-135, and I feel like I'm in pretty decent shape, I weight lift, sprint,jog and do some jump rope every now and then. Cardio and weights work out perfectly for me

    I'm 5'7" and intending on hitting 150 through weight loss, then building muscle until I hit 160.

    My highest weight ever 180, Im down to 160 now, last year I got down to 152 and for my body frame, I looked way to thin and so I gained some weight... I may try to hit 155 but for my age 45 I am comfortable at 160 It depends on your body type muscle mass etc..

    I am 5'7
    When I joined my fitnesspal my starting weight was 230LBs.
    I lost weight and was at 205LBs.
    However, after my miscarriage I ate myself to over 240LBs
    My current weight is 194LBs
    My mini weight goal is 180LBs for Summer '14
    My ultimate goal weight is 160LBs
    Oh, my waist is 31.5 inches, Hips 50, Arm 11.5, Calf 17, Chest 38.5, Thigh 27.5,
    At the moment I look small to a number of people because I lift weights with my trainer. Also, my body shape makes my waist look small.

    I'm between 5'7 and 5'8" and I weigh 152. I started at 164.4 and a tight size 12, and I'm just now starting to fit into some 10 pants. I carry most of my weight in my stomach/butt, but I'm a medium in most tops. I'd love to get to 145. In the past, when I've gotten to 148ish, I've gone back to old eating habits, and regained. My goal is for my size 10 pants to fit well.

    I'm 5'7, SW 179, i'm in the high 160s right now but I haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks.
    goal weight is 145, just because as the BMI scale goes, 145 seems a nice healthy medium between under and overweight.

    left: 177 right: 170

    (I honestly think I'm looking smaller than what I am due to the outfits here though)

    I've been aiming for 120 lbs just b/c my friend who is 5'6 looks perfect at that weight LOL but it really depends on when I feel contented, will stop right there :)

    I'm 5'7" with a medium frame. My goal is 145-150. I've been there before and think it's perfect for my build, as long as I'm that weight being active regularly and toned. 150 is a size 10 for me.
