    I am 5'7'' and a quarter and I weigh now, 128. I'm still within the healthy range on the BMI scale, so I'm happy. I wear a size 7 in Wal mart jeans, which I specifically mention because sizes run so differently everywhere. The higher the price the smaller you are. ANYWAYS, that's me! :)

    I'm 5'7" and started at around 160. I now weigh 136 and although it's easy to maintain its not how I want to look. I'm working on building lean body mass and muscle, which will probably result in a weight gain back up to the 140s.

    What I have learnt from this site is by looking at before and after photos of people with my stats, everyone looks so different. So what weight works for one, may not for another.

    I'm 5' 7.5" and weigh 147 pounds. My goal on this site is 130 but I'm starting to re-evaluate that statistic....my main goal is to get rid of belly fat, and at this point I consider the rest of my body to be relatively skinny. I know I need to gain muscle though and lose body fat (my bf has a scale that can determine body fat percentage, and mine was about 25% with muscle at only 35%) so at the moment I'm thinking about reconsidering and just focusing on gaining muscle, not a number on the scale.

    I'm 5'8 and want to get back down into numbers that begin with a "1" and that's my FIRST goal!! I'm doing better now that I'm using MFP and tracking myself so I know the actual facts about what I'm eating instead of guessing that it "isn't that bad for me".. I need encouragement to stay on it and drop this flabby flab!! Bye Bye Flabby Flab.. bikini weather will be here before we know it!!

    i am currently 162 and have set a goal of 141. i want to know how realistic that sounds to other ladies my height??

    what do you weigh? what do you want to weigh? how do you feel at that weight?

    that sound absolutely fine! i am also 5'7 and i looked it up and an ideal weight for our height is anywhere between 132lbs-150lbs depending upon our "frame". so i think you will be just the perfect weight! shooot, i wish i could be the weight you are right now! ill take your 162 over my 270 any day.lol :D Good luck!!!!!!!

    5'7" currently 185, want to get to 155 for starters. I have a a bigger frame though so I don't know how realistic it might be.

    Yes! I think it's realistic!

    My starting weight was 167, and I am now stuck at 150 (for several months now). Just can't seem to hit the 140's! But I'm not giving up! Trying to switch some things up to see if there will be a change. My goal is to be between 135-140 Ibs.

    Anyone feel free to add me! I need some new friends :)

    I'm also 5'7" :)

    Hey There!

    I'm new on here and I'm 5'7''! ... may be a little over...

    Currently, I am 145 pounds and my goal weight is 120 pounds. I know that sounds kind of low, but according to conventional BMI calculators that is still within a healthy weight range. The lowest I have ever been is 127 and then after 2 years of eating nothing but junk, I am back to 145. At my heaviest I weighed 180 pounds which was not very fun, but I lost it using a combination of hCG and low-carb dieting :/

    I don't think any goal is unreasonable :) I welcome anyone to friend me! You can never have too much support!

    I'm 5'7" and weigh about 160. My goal is 125-130. I also need motivation, I'm not good at sticking to a plan, so if any of you want to be motivational buddies, I'm all for it-friend me!
    I think your goal is very realistic, especially if it is muscle you got on ya! You can do it, stay strong :)

    Hey! I am 5'7.5 and right now I weigh 152. When I finished with my first year of college (May) I weighed 165 and once I started working I went down to 152. I recently started running 3 miles every day and my goal is 145. I think your goal is reasonable if you really work towards it

    I think it depends on your build. I am 5' 7" and look like I weigh less than I do. Nobody every believes how much I weigh!

    My weight loss targets always end up at least 15lbs higher than most others my height. I am pretty fit for my age/size and quite muscular - used to play sports like rugby and I ride horses - strong legs, LOTS of heavy muscle!

    I am currently just over 180lbs which sounds heavy (and is!) but to give you an idea, I am currently a size 14 (UK) which I think is a size 10 US? (please correct me if I am wrong about sizing). I have friends who weigh 15-20lbs less than me who are the same size.

    The lowest I have weighed in the last 15 years (I am 39 BTW) was 149lbs which put me at a UK 10 (US 6?) but everyone told me I looked way too skinny. My first target is to get to 154lbs (most likely this will see me at about a size 12 UK / 8 US) and take it from there.....

    So if anyone out there is reading some of the figures and thinking 'no way, that's too low for me', you are not alone :) Don't freak out, aim for something that is realistic.

    I have decided to use hip:waist ratios as a better indication of how I am doing. I am currently at a ratio of .80 . This is right at the upper end of healthy . 0.70 (or thereabouts) would be fantastic....

    Edited to say. My profile pic was taken when I started MFP - was a size 16. Have lost 10lbs since then.

    I'm 5'7 and started at 196ish. I'm currently 176 and would like to get to 154 - assuming my calculations are right as I usually use KGs :-)

    I really thinks it all about your build but its always good to have a goal - you can always reassess it once you start losing. Good luck

    140 was my goal and I reached it but have dropped a little below now so I'll have 140 as my top weight and if I go over it I'll work to stay under it. Aimed for this weight as its bang in the middle of "Healthy" on the BMI scale.

    I'm 5'7 and 141 lbs and I still feel huge... I think it's a body fat thing, I feel like I look 15-20 lbs heavier than I am. So I dunno, my goal is 125-130 because of that, though I'd really be fine with my current weight if more of it were muscle... lol

    I'm 176cm (5'7) and currently weigh in at 53kg (116lbs) I'd love to be 50kgs (110lbs) but I think that'd just be unhealthy for me

    *I miss being a size 6 (2) though... my bf thinks I looked a bit sickly back then though so I'm compromising at a size 7
    (currently an 8 (4))

    ** Australian standard sizing, I tried to convert to US sizing in the brackets

    5'7 here! The lowest weight I've ever been is 151 lbs for my personal build that was too skinny and unsustainable. I was UK size 10 but had no shape to me. I'm doing it by clothing this time. I'd like to be a UK size 14 as I think I would still have a nice shape to me at that size. That may be somewhere between 160-170 lbs. Maybe even more. My start weight this time was 259 lbs (eeekk) down 29 lbs so far :) Around another 60 lbs to go!

    I'm 5'7 and my highest was about 140 (I'm only 18 - that was a few years ago so was a bit too high for my age/height, as I had no muscle whatsoever), now I'm down to 123, and have set myself at just 100 cals under the maintenance setting - my goal on here is 120. I'm not that fussed about if I do get down there or not, or how long it takes. I'll even be fine going up a bit (up to 128ish) as long as bf% doesn't rise.

    I am 5'7" and weigh 147 right now. My highest was about 170 and that was big for me. My measurements are 34-28-39. My goal weight is anywhere between 135 and 140 but I do think that measurements are more important than weight. I am doing a lot of toning through weights, squats, etc and have a goal of 34-26-37. We'll see how it goes!!!
