5'8" ladies, what is your goal weight?

cyberskirt

My ultimate goal weight is 150 lbs. I will see once I get there is I need to lose anymore weight.

I was originally 200+. I'm 140ish now and I'd like to be 120ish. I have a very small frame (wrist is 5.5 inches, ring size is 4...you get the picture) with "curves" so I think that will be an acceptable weight for me.

I'm 5'7. Started at 180lbs (heaviest was nearer 190lbs), currently about 140-142lbs (not dieting or recording my calories at all and have maintained this for a year). I'd like to drop another 7lbs but I think my body is quite happy how it is so I'm just trying to increase my exercise.

I am 5"8 i use to weigh 54kilos 118lbs and it suited me very well!

I had a baby and went to 78kilos 171lbs but i did have a big baby and soon as i gave birth i dropped to 67kilos 148lbs

I started MFP at 66 kilos im now down to 63 kilos 140lbs

My goal is

55kilos - 120lbs!

Also to tone up my body once i reach that weight!

I'm tall myself, however, my goal is 165 and that may even be TOO little because we are tall. More height and less weight will make some look sick, ya know what I mean? I am big boned though and I have more muscle than fat so I kinda look like a body builder :P I'm a female...... X)

I'm 5'8'' 1/2 and my ultimate goal weight is 132 lb, but it all depends. If I lose my belly before I hit 132 lb I'd be cool with that. It's not my weight that bothers me, it's how it looks on my body.

I'm 5'8, and my ultimate goal weight is to be able 155-160. I'm a pear shape, I've got hips, so when I was 155-160, I was a 7-9 in pants and a M top.

I've got a long way to go, my first goal is 190 and then I'll lower it to 160! Good luck

I'm also 5'8 and my goal weight is 140.

SW: 164
CW: 154
GW: 140

Most of my weight is in my gut so I feel I need to go down to 140 for my belly to look somewhat normal. I'm a size 8-10 now and at 140 I should be more of a 6-8.

vabchloser

I'm 5'9". My current is 190 and goal is 165. I used to weigh 268!

I'd like to do weight training and be at 165. My job requires me to not be too frail

Hi

I'm 5'8" I have had four children and am the wrong side of forty

Starting weight was nearly 14 stone 4 lbs I decided to loose weight in stages.

I lost a stone to start off with and made sure I maintained that weight for a month or so.

Then I hit the exercise a bit harder and am now at 12 stone 3lbs and working really hard to get to my first goal of 11 st 10lbs which is what I weighed when my second child was born ( he is now 13)

then I will set my next goal I have an idea what I would like to weigh but think I will be guided by how the clothes fit

Most guide lines say should weigh about 10 1/2 stone but in all honesty I'm not sure I could loose that much

I'm sorry to write in stones and pounds but I just can't get my head around the bigger figure of just lbs

keep it up what ever works best for you

I am 5'8.5" I am at 150ish now, and I am shooting for 135-140.
I put on about 15 lbs of depression weight after a recent miscarriage. I am trying to get back to where I felt the healthiest.
Any lower than than 135 and I look sick.
I would be fine with higher numbers if it was all lean mean muscle!
But until then I am just going to try to get the numbers down with cardio, circuit training, and calorie counting.

jkrod81

I'm also 5' 8". My current weight is 161 and I have my goal set around 145. It is subject to change. I may quit at 150 or I might feel I have a tiny bit more to lose. In the past 7 years, I haven't gotten below my current weight, so my goal is to be the weight that makes me feel the most comfortable with my reflection in the mirror. I'm not quite there yet.

penny_eclipse

I'm 5"8,

SW: 232lbs
GW: 164lbs

I'm at goal now...(well I'm actually 168lbs, but my body fat % has gone down), it's muscle I've put on and I've lost inches. I wouldn't want to be any smaller than this. I have a large frame and hips and boobs.

I initially wanted to be a size 12 (UK) and a *healthy* bmi (just)...once I got to goal and started maintenance I've put on 4lbs but lost a whole dress size...which I'm a bit annoyed about as I don't think (for me) a size 10 UK is sustainable...I want to be a solid always size 12...but that's coz of my height, build etc...

Anyways I'm now quite toned and suchlike, still seeing where I get to...I don't think you can really predict anything til you get closer...When I hit 170lbs people were telling me I was the perfect size (originally), and I was already at my goal size..,ok things wern't as toned, but physically in terms of size I was there...

If I go any smaller I think for me I'll look too small... I have photos on my profile, though the smallest pics are of me in Jan and Feb in about 3 layers of clothes, and I've lost size since then, but havn't taken any new pics...hmmm should probably go take some!

I am trying to be more realistic. I started at close to 300 and I am hoping to get to about 180. Sure that is overweight, but I think I would be more comfortable there than say 150.

terraskye

I'm 5'8 with a prolly large-ish frame..My goal weight is around 155lb. My highest weight was 290 and my current weight is 258.

hdelamore

Hey I'm 5'8 I started at 162lbs

I'm now at 140 and my goal weight is 137 so not far off now! x

ttaylor68913

I'm 5'8 and am aiming for 165-180... I have a very large bone structure

ChristineDiet

Hi

I'm 5ft 8, SW 219lbs, CW 202.9lbs, GW 150lbs (ish) I guess it depends on how I look. I'm quite broad and have wide hips (after 3 very large babies) so I don't think I could ever achieve a petite image. I think I'm aiming for a solid UK 12.

Good luck everyone. x

In high school I was 115-130 and on Ritalin. Once I had a choice I got off it and my body started changing as I reached a healthier weight, and eventually an unhealthy weight. For one thing I went from a B to a C to a D to a DD. The whole time I was that 115-130 I had doctors telling me to gain and other girls saying they were jealous, so keep in mind what a warped standard of beauty this country has, ladies! Some bodies at 5'8 might be okay at that weight, but on me it was unnatural and too thin!

Anyway,
SW: 161
CW:147
GW: 144
Toning and exercise are the main goals after that.
Also, for about six months I was maintaining at 153-150 and decided that while that was okay I could stand more. I'm now seeing the things I missed the most about my body again and stopped feeling heavy.
Feel free to add me, I'm in this for the long haul!
