5' 8" Whats your goal weight?

ReadyMom

5'8" and I'm going for 140 as well! Everyone tells me I look fine now at 160 but I don't feel fine.

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is between 135 to 140 lbs. And it's not from any chart or recommendation...it's just the weight that I feel best at. When I was in high school, I was 5'9" and weighed 110 lbs., and not by trying!! That was just my metabolism then. Go by how YOU feel. Everybody has their own weight they are the most comfortable at.

I'm just under 5' 9" my goal is 140-142 that is perfect for me. I'm currentlyat 154lbs ( have a 6 month old baby) . A couple of summers ago went down to 135 and I looked HORRIBLE ! Way to skinny for me ") gaining weight in a healthy way was almost as hard as losing weight.

I'm 5'9.5". At 138 lbs, last year I was a size 4. The number on the scale was nice to see, but to know that I was a size 4 was the biggest moral booster for me. My mom passed away 2 months ago and so I am trying to get back there.

Wow- I find people's goals so interesting! I'm 5'8" and starting at 200 lbs, size 14-16. I would be absolutely thrilled to be 170- that's a size 12 for me and looks great.

I'm 5'7" and after having my gall bladder removed, i gained 15 lbs rapidly. My goal weight is 125 (which is normal for me because i am small framed) and i was at 140... i have just 2 lbs left to go!

I'm 5'9" and at my skinniest, which was when I was 18-19, I weighed 160 and everyone thought I was doing crack lol. I'm 27 now and my goal for now is 165 and I'm planning on reevaluating from there.

BlessedMoon

I'm 5'8", medium frame. I tend to carry my weight well. Starting weight 208 size 15-17, goal weight 155-160 size 10. I don't want to look stick thin, I tend to be bottom heavy and would like to keep my bubble booty. lol

I'm 5'8". My starting weight was 235ish when I started trying to lose weight in March of 2010. Currently I sit around 165. My goal is 155. I have horrible body image issues. Would like to see my love handles take a hike.

I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is 215lbs. I think it really depends on the individual and their body frame. I look terrible under 200lbs. I was down to 190 and I had this huge head so I'm setting my goal at 215. I feel great now and have improved my overall health substantially (sp?) now it's just a how I look thing and how I fit and feel in proper clothing.

My weight when I first started trying to get healthy was 306lbs. That was February of last year. Now i'm at 255lbs. I'm still working on it but I'll get there.

I'm 5- 8 1/2 and I'm at about 192. I'd like to see 160-165.

Elizabeth_C34

Eventually, 135. First goal is 165 though (healthy BMI). Second goal is 150.

I"m 5'8 too--and just joined today. My goal is 10% of my body weight as a start--I'm 173 now --so about 17 pounds--puts me at around 156. I've seen so many shows that say: just starting w/10% weight loss has so many incredible health benefits.

I am probably a rare girl, but I am 5'8 and I only want to get down to 175 (although I am open to losing more). I am a bigger girl (bone wise and stature not just body fat/weight) so I still want my curves and I feel if I go too much under 175 i will look too skinny/sick looking. my mom looks anorexic when she goes under 190 so I am sure I will probably be about the same way.

cassandrap11

I'm 5'9 and would like to be 165 - 170lbs... though right now my goal is to get to 199 lbs... 24 to go!!!

I am 5'8" and I am currently 142 with a goal of 135. It kept changing along the way, just go with what you feel comfortable with. I have large hips with high hip bones so even right now I am in a size 10-12 whereas some women are closer to 6-8 with same height/ weight. Just keep your frame and shape in mind when setting a goal.
