    I am between 5'7 and 5'8 and my initial goal weight is 135, but I really want to get down to a toned 130. I look way to skinny at 125 but look really good at 130.

    I am 5'6" and per that calculator, my happy weight should be 153.8 but I'll be happy with 155!
    Check it out with your specs and see what it says.

    I'm 5"6 and my goal is 155. It seems a little higher than what everyone elses has posted on here, but I dont think I'll ever be at the lower end of the healthy weight range, so I opted to try and hit the top of the range.

    When I get there (I was about to say IF and then corrected it to when!) I will see if I like it or want to lose more. I'm not 100% into the whole thing (as in, if I get to a UK14 (US10) and I like it, but its outside the healthy range) then I will stay with that. I have been overweight for about 10 years, so I am just aiming for less weighty!

    I'm 5'7" and my goal wieght is about 175-180. I'm muscularly built, and that would put me at about a size 10. I'm good with that. Less than that....for me....is too small in my eyes.

    5'7" and would love to way around 145. That's only about a 10 pound weight loss, but it seems to be the hardest thing to do. It seems getting older makes things sooo much more difficult. Have extra belly fat from having babies that i just cant seem to get rid of. FRUSTRATING!!!!

    I'm 5ft7 and I'm aiming for 154, its the weight I was for 20 years excluding pregnancy, I have a medium-large frame based on wrist and elbow measurements. I will evaluate once i'm closer to goal, would prefer a little extra padding on my rear to save my face!

    I'm 5'7! Well, 5'6.8, but I round up. My initial goal weight is 150 (weight I was when I got injured and started gaining), and my final goal weight is 135 (lowest adult weight, when I was 18). Your appropriate weight could vary a lot, depending on body composition and type. I have a very curvy hourglass figure (currently 42" 30" 41") and I'm not really sure that I can get back to 135 with the top-heaviness I've got going on. I've lost some inches from my bust, but most of my weight loss has been from my middle (I started out at 46" 36" 46"). Ultimately, overall fitness and body composition is what's important to me - the "goal weight" is just a guess to use as my target/motivation.

    I'm 5'6/5'7 depending on who measures me. I am currently 129 lbs. My goal weight is 125. I carry all of my weight in my hips, thighs and butt. In order to lose some fat from these areas I think that's where I will have to get. We will see.

    5'7" and my goal weight is around 140. If I stay between 140 and 145 I would be happy.

    I'm closer to 5'8" and my ultimate goal is 150. I'm pretty curvy with wide hips, so I'll have to see how I look/feel at 150 to determine if I want to go further. As long as you feel good in your own skin, that's all that matters! :)

    I will be THRILLED at 150!! I know that is a good, realistic weight for me - that hopefully I will be able to maintain!! I'll see when I get there. Maybe I will feel the need to go lower. At that weight, I'm a size 10 (I think - it's been so long). Maybe I'll surprise myself and get in the "140s" - still a long way to go.:blushing:
