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

MsMarlaMae

I'm 5'8"

SW: 260
CW: 187.6
GW: 175

I'm considering getting down to 160, but my first goal was always 175... just never thought I'd get close

toothfairy79

I'm 5'8" and currently my ultimate goal is 140lbs, but anything under 150 is when I start to feel good..so I guess it depends on your body type.

Maybe see what you think when you get there? It depends a lot on frame. My stats are:

SW 319
GW 165
CW 153.6

I could lose more in the bottom half of my body, but my top half is getting a little skeletal so I stopped and am working on weights and lots of walking/hiking to improve fitness. Here's a before/after at about 155. All of the pictures I take are pretty clothed because 165 pounds lost leaves a lot of skin behind.

Just wanted to say you look AWESOME and you do not have to lose anymore weight!!! You look amazing! Congratulations on exceeding your goal

You look amazing, such motivation!!

Like most of the ladies that have already posted, I'll wait and see how it goes.
I was at 150lbs a few years ago and THRILLED with it.
We shall see!

I feel very comfortable at 140 myself. Above that I start feeling it when I bend over. Below that my bones stick out in my arms. I have always had small wrists even when I was in the 180's.

I'm 5'8" and my stats are

SW - 164
CW-155
First goal is 145
Second goal is 140
Ultimate goal is 135 but I am ok if I stay anywhere between here and 140. I am going to really focus on body fat once I reach 145.

heartofdorkness

Also 5'8". Two years ago I hit my heaviest at 240. I started working out and changing my diet about three weeks ago.. I've gone from 235 to 229, and my final goal weight is 170. My frame/build is on the larger side (I come from a genetic pool of broad shoulders and child-bearing hips) and am looking to gain more muscle.

horsemom53

I'm 5'8 and until I got married I was always thin weighing around 100-110 depending on the day, which was to thin but I couldn't gain weight back then to save my life. Throw in a husband, child and a laziness and I now weigh 160lbs which I think is to big for my bone structure (tiny). My long term goal is 130-135lbs. To achieve it I've set a goal, right now I'm training to run my first 5K in October! Yikes!

LizHowerton

I'm almost 5'8 the lowest weight I have ever been was in my early 20's and I weighed 128 lbs. I rarely ate, (diet coke and sugar free gum for dinner) and I smoked (I quit at 37)

My highest weight was 250 lbs. I was miserably depressed, unhealthy, borderline type 2 diabetes, etc.

I lost 90 lbs three years ago, and have been able to maintain, give or take 5 pounds.

I am just working on firming up and being HEALTHY. (eating, exercising, etc) Trying not to be a number, because it just messes with my head.

Good luck to all.

Oh, and I'll be fifty this year.

I am 5'8 and currently 199. I am not sure what what will look the best since my body has changed so much since having children. I am very hour glass so I tend to carry weight better. I am so unhappy at this weight though and at the moment would like to come in around 155-160.

rbrea001

Yeah you look great at 140!!! Thats my goal. To be around 145 however I will be ok with 150....

SW: 240
CW: 188 **I started My fitness tracker at 194**
Goal: 150

I feel like i have a long road ahead but hope this journey will be over in Nov at the latest!!

nfroff

I am 5'8" with

sw 223 lb
cw 208
gw 170

I'd love to see 170 which hasn't happened in about 10 years. Once I'm there I'll see how I go but I'm trying to be realistic!

jandashl

My goal weight is 175 and to reevaluate once I get there. My starting weight was 254, CW 243. I just started about a month ago and have a long way to go. I too want to be stronger and healthier. Once I hit 175, I will see how I feel/look and what size clothes I am in at that point. Just looking forward to getting under 200 at this point

christacb

I am 5'9". I have a large frame and my goal weight is 155-160. I have been thinner (135 pounds) but I think I look my healthiest and best at around 160.

septemberskinny

Hey! I'm 5'8" and I'm currently about 130-135 lbs.
I want to end up at 120-125 lbs.

schocron

Hey there,

I 5'8" ish closer to 5'9" and I started at 312lbs. Currently I am at 183lbs and in a perfect world my goal is 165 lbs, but ill be happy in the 170s. I think that the best way to determine one's weight is through BMI (body mass index). You can calculate it online and is what most doctors based their calculations on. Hope this post can help!!!

jenluvsushi

I'm 5'8 and I don't really care what I weigh for the most part....I seem to settle well into 165-170 for a reference point but that is subject to change. I just care about my body fat %. I started at 34% and am aiming for under 20%....whatever I weigh when I get there is just a number on the scale.......people can weigh 140 pounds at this height and still be flabby (low body weight but high body fat......skinny fat). I would much rather weigh more, get to eat more, have lower body fat and look like a lean mean fighting machine

ctalimenti

I'm 5'8"

Starting weight 156
Current weight 152
Goal weight 145ish

Not really sure once I add a little more heavy lifting.

If you look at the super heavy weight lifting ladies, muscle doesn't seem to weight all that much. If a woman is 5'8", she weighs 160. I would have imagined around 185 or so.
