5ft 7... Whats your goal weight?

It's interesting because if I do get to 160, I'd be a size 6. This numbers game/variety between all of us really fascinates me. Some people will weigh less but wear the same size as me.

I'm the same as you. Totally mind-boggling, isn't it? I think that's why I'm comfortable at a "higher number"...the clothing size is still a 6.

Exactly!!!! reading this thread has been SO comforting to me.

I have always struggled with being on the high end of the stupid BMI range of 120-160 for a 5'7" woman. I looked great around 150...(size 6) which is what i've been for years-- until a year and a half ago when i gained about 25 pounds.

I looked like and WAS anorexic when i was in the 120's. (i got lower than that too... then when getting healthy wanted to maintain at 120 because that was healthy?! according to BMI but it WASNT healthy for me). It really messed with my mind, but i honestly stop having my period if i drop below 130. So my goal is 140's (even if it is 149 haha).

It's just nice to see pictures of so many beautiful healthy woman who weigh my goal weight. That number used to seem high to me but honestly at 5'7" (if you are athletic and not one of those women with really narrow hips) a size 6-8 looks gorgeous in my opinion!
