    I'm 5'7 and aiming for 160 but I've had 2 kids and at my age that is more attainable for me. My doc also seems to think this a good place for me to be too. But that is almost 100 lbs away for me. Its better to ask a doctor where they think you should be as everyone's body is a little different and you have to weigh all the factors. Having kids changes things and so does age. I also am predisposed to having a massive chest (I hate it!!) so I have to subtract 20lbs (I'm not kidding) so that my weight is more where my body actually is. I realize your smaller so that's not an issue but it can be for others. lol

    Good luck on your journey!

    I'm 5'8" and have hit my goal weight of 135 (actually 134 this a.m.)and love the way it looks...however I think I may go for 132 to make 135 my 'high' number in the month. I think I look very healthy at this weight and would not want to be out of the 130's but of course each body is different!

    135-140 but I think that might be really tough to do at this point. Honestly I'd be happy as a fit, toned 160 - I have a larger frame. I just want to comfortably rock a size medium :)

    I'm 5'6.5", and my goal is 150. I was that weight before I had two kids and was a size 8 - NO idea what it will look like now!

    Same here, I cant picture myself 140 I wanna be around 180 give or take.


    Right now I am shooting for 180 (I have a large body frame). Depending on how I feel and look when I get there, I may try for 160-170.

    I'm 5'7 as well, my goal for now is just to get to 140. If I feel I should lose more I'll try for losing another 5 lbs. I have a feeling I'll end up somewhere between 135 and 140.

    5' 7.5" (i embrace that 1/2 inch ;) ) and 130 is my weight now, but shooting for 120.
    I don't think most 5'7" girls can/should go as low as 120, i was just bless/cursed with a naturally VERY rectangl-y shape.

    My goal is 140 & fit! I have a slightly larger frame, so I think this would be a good weight for me. I would love to be a size 6! I will reevaluate once I get there & could try to go into the 130s if I feel like I could still lose a little more!

    I would be very happy at 150, even happier if I hit 140.

    I am almost 5'8. The lowest i have ever been was 126 lbs. I think healthy for this height is 135-145. I was still a size 6 at 145 lbs. I would definitely NOT go under 125. Its makes you look too skinny. Its not necessary to be that small. That weight is for tiny ppl (in height) not tall ppl.

    Same here, I can't imagine myself lower than that ('cause I never have been!) so 180 is my goal for now and when I get there I'll reassess based on how that weight looks on my frame.

    My goal is 185 for the same reasons. I might adjust when I get there but it won't be lower than 160.

    I keep going back and forth, but for now I've decided on 135.

    I'm 5'7" and my goal weight is 120-125 but an athletic looking 120. I'd rather be on the higher end of my goal and athletic than the lower end and scary skinny. I'm currently 137 and started at 146 and it's only taken me 2 months :)

    5'8'' currently 137, whatever it takes to tone my thighs, my guess... 125.
