5'8" ladies what is your goal?

Yayi724

I'm 5'7 with a larger frame and my goal is 143. I am currently at 155. I really think how thin you look depends on your frame size. At 143 I am a size 2/4 depending on the clothes, any thinner than that and I look emaciated. Someone the same height with a smaller frame can get to 130 and still look good and not to thin.

I'm 5'9" and would like to hit 147. This was the weight I was most of my life before my 3rd and 4th pregnancies. I've gotten down to 125, but that's just too skinny for me now.

jrueckert

I started at 168, now I'm at 142....I think 135 is my final goal

jmruef

I started at 171. Am now at 154 (honestly I think my scale has mood swings, rather than I have weight fluctuations...) and am going for 140 - 145. I'll get to 145 and see how I feel. NO LOWER than 140 - no more losing weight just because I can!!

My profile pict is me at 135, but Ive been to 125 and was still healthy looking, so that's my ultimate goal.

kerrymh

I was thinking 165, but now I'm more thinking 150..depends on how much I feel is saggy skin when I get closer to 165. 40lbs to get there..and then.who knows..its been a long journey and just getting under 200lbs right now would be a big victory

I'm 5'9", and I'm shooting for 135, the weight I was when I was a track runner in high school. I have a petite frame, and I'm lanky so being thin does work for me.

Right now, I'm at 188, but started at 210.

I'm 5'8.75 and my goal weight is 127-130. I haven't weighed that since middle school. I got down to about 143 about a year ago and wanted to lose another 10-15 pounds. I have a smaller frame and at 160 I feel chunky. Three years ago I started around 205-210 too, so I'm just thankful that I'm in a healthy weight now. The extra pounds I want to lose now are just for me and for vanity reasons.

Loveebbs

I'm 5'7 and a half (5'8 on a good day, LOL) but my ultimate goal would be 140 lbs but I would be happy and also maintain my weight between 140 - 150 lbs.

SongbirdLandy

I'm 5'8 and I am going for 170, but I have a very large frame. I may go lower once I get there, but for now that is my main goal. I still have a LONG way to go tho!

mrudzinski

My goal weight right now is 135

manda1028

My dream weight is 150 pounds but I'd be happy with 170...who am I kidding I'd be happy with 190 right about now.

lol!!! Same! i am 5'7 tho, but close enough for me

kathcanada

Started at 180, down to 155, final goal is 150. Those last 5 pounds are so tough!

vetsnatural

I am almost 5'10 and my goal weight is 185, that with my build (athletic muscular build) I would be about a size 10/12. That is small enough for me. Only a Dog wants a bone and all he does is bury it....LOL. I was 160- 170 two summers ago and was too freaking thin and it was not a good look for me at Over 40. I like a softer look to my face and the rest of me. Also my thighs and butt give me shape.

LaurnWhit

My goal weight is 143....right now I'm 150 and my arms look good and my legs are mostly muscle BUT I have a long trunk and my tummy is wide and out....i.e. muffin top

hayleymc3

I'm 5' 7.5" and my goal has always been 150. My dream weight is 140-145, but I have no idea what would be best for my body. I've never been a normal weight so it's hard to tell what would look/feel right.

ckncj

125! im 136 now. im getting marry in three months. i will be be there (with fire in her eyes and wonder woman song playing LMBO)

I'm 128 now....goal is 123-125. I, too, am getting married in a few months (Sept 17), and my plan is to look my absolute best-ever!

kelleypf

I'm 5'8" and had set my initial goal weight on MFP at 150. I started at 185 and am now at 157, but I think I will try to keep going. I'm feeling good but I could use a lot more work as far as tone and definition. I'm pretty happy with my size right now though so we'll see. Finally fitting back into a size 8!!!

sgarner2005

I'm shooting for 160. I can't imagine being that weight. I don't think I've been that weight since I was "skinny" and never even thought of stepping on a scale. The first time I can remember thinking I need to lose a few was when I was at 170. I'm 4 pounds away from 170 right now. Crossing my fingers I can do it!

lauralhicks

Anything under 200 but would luv 180

Jaccilatt5

Well at my thinnest adult weight I was 128(5 years ago)...WWAAAYYY to thin...at my heaviest I was 196(6 months ago)....So I went through pics of me at different stages of weight gain and Ive decided on somewhere between 145and 150. Currently I am 166 and am finally getting to a point where I am liking things about my body again. Honestly if I hit 155 ill prob. maintain there for a while. Best of Luck!

LindseyC87

Im 5'7 and 1/2 inch and my goal weight is 135. I am currently 143

HarpandWings

When I was 5'10 I weighed 135. I have lost 3 inches in height in the last 5 yrs. So at 5'7" I am striving to be back down to that 135. If my body decide 140 would be better I would be happy with that as well.

JMuzzy

im just a smidge under 5'8... 146 lbs but my goal is 130-135. i am happy now and just taking it slow:)

lovediets

Me too!!!!! I would love to see 160!

trinityj1

Right now I have it at 135, because when I was in the 140 range I was never happy and was always sucking my gut in. I don't know, I'll have to see what I look like as I go along. I'd like to have a body fat % of 20.

Macalllenee

I'm 5"7 1/2 my goal weight right now is 165. thats the smallest I've been at my healthiest and fit. I am a very stout muscular build. post Weight lifter & shot putter in high school. I think if I still have the flab at 165 I'll try and hit 140 possibly. good luck!

Elzecat

I'm 5'8 and currently 164, 1 lb away from being in a "healthy" BMI...(that was my original goal). Highest adult weight was about 225...was 199 when I started MFP in March. I think I'd like to maintain somewhere around 150-160...that was my weight in graduate school (about 13 years ago) and I really liked how I looked then--lots of muscle. Anything lower than 150-155 and I think I'll look too skinny...

meldaniel

I'm 5' 7.5" and my goal is 127lbs but I will be happy at 130 or even a little over. I have small bones and was 127 when I got married at 29 years old, and that was my best look and size. I was thin and muscular and looked very proportionate. Now I am 149, have lost 3 lbs so far. For my body being between 125 and 135 is my comfort zone and I am a size 4 or 6 at that weight, depending on how an item is made. Some tall girls look very skinny at 125 though so I think it depends on your frame.

hng2101

139. Right now I'm hovering around 147 and NEVER seem to be able to get under 145 but I'm gonna keep trying! Honestly if I stay at 145 forever I'll be satisfied. 139 I'll be thrilled.

pamelalee13

Im 5'8.5'' and would love to be at 140lbs again. I have gotten to 230 lbs after 18 months of nursing school. I have lead a very sedentary life and need to get back into it! I feel very bad that I let this happen to myself. I would work so hard on my homework that everything was neglected, including myself. I am determined though to get back down there. I didnt gain 90 pounds in that amount of time I had a head start of about 40lbs. I have a gym membership at LA Fitness, and a trainer 2 days a week. I am hoping I can do it!
