I'm 5'7" and my doctor said that a healthy weight for my height is between 125 and 162. I'm going for 145, hoping that maybe I can knock of a few last pounds once I get there, but I DEF don't want to be skin and bones!0

I'm 5'6" and my goal is 130... maybe 125. No more than that though! I was 112 when I was 16 and it didn't look good on me. Everyone told me I needed to eat more.0

My gw at 5'7" is 165- a lot higher than most of you! Before becoming a mom it was 147, but now I seem to fit comfortably into the same clothes at 165 as I did at 147 when I was younger. My bmi is still overweight at that point, but my body composition changed and I'm healthy there so I think it works.0

128. I used to be 120 when i was busy and swimming a ton. I don't want to be that small but I would like to fit into my old stuff.0

Current weight : 158
Goal weight would be at 145...
ULTIMATE goal weight would be at 140.
Would like to lose the 18 lbs by the end of the summer.0 -
Oh, and I forgot to mention....
I checked out http://www.self.com/calculatorsprograms/calculators/happyweight, and according to it, my "happy weight" was my original start weight (132 lbs) .
I looked flabby and overweight then!! Very out of shape, too.0 -
Another one shooting for 130-140! I've been as small as 120 but I didn't look healthy at all - 140 is definitely my top end.0

I went to a site that you measure your wrist and the space between your sides of your elbow bones. It determines if you are a small, medium, or large boned person. I will see if I can find it.

Then the link at the bottom goes to another page. The easiest way to measure the breadth of your elbow is to put your elbow up having your forearm parallel to the ground, palm facing you and take your thumb and finger and touch the 2 bones on either side of your elbow. Keep that space between your fingers and put them on a tape measure to measure the breadth of the elbow.0 -
135-1400

I'm 5'6" and according to BMI my ideal weight would be 137lbs...but anywhere between 126lbs and 154lbs is apparently healthy weight. I'm aiming for the ideal of 137lbs, although I think I'd be very happy at 140-147lbs!0

checked my happy weight and it said 145.8 so yeah i will probably stick with the goal weight of 150 might lose more depending on how i feel but will go no less then 1350
