5'8" Ladies? Weight goal?

lialuck13 · July 2012

hey everyone

I've been an MFP member for a while now, and used it successfully last year to drop from 164 down to 140.
I was happy there for a while (and still am for the most part) but would like to know if anyone here has any suggestions for how far I should take this? I know every person is different, but just wanted a little input on what any other 5'8" ladies' goals are!
Thank you and good luck to everyone!

Well, I'm 5'7.5":) My current goal is 20%bf, which with my current lean mass, puts me around 168.

awesome! I hadn't thought about calculating it by BF%, thanks for the tip

well I am alittle over 5'7 but I have alot to lose. I am aiming for 160. I have a large frame though. Once I get there I will have to see if I would want to get under that.

My goal is 160 as well. My highest weight ever was 336, which was several years ago, and now 302 (10lbs lost since end of may). I feel like 160 is my limit, but I've never been that small, so I'll see when I get there.

I'm an inch shorter than you but I'm shooting for 135-140. Or wherever I'm happy with how I look

I don't have much to lose really, just wanna get to the point where more of the muscle I've been building is visible.

My goal is also 160, on a large frame. When I get there, who knows? perhaps I'll keep going!

I am 5'8 and i'd like to get back to 170lbs. Thats what i weighed before i gained all of this weight and i was very comfortable with it.

I'm aiming for 150, but I will evaluate once I'm there to see if I need to lose anymore.

I'm 5'8.5" and I got to 138 at my lowest. The only time I was lower than that was when I was sick with a digestive disorder and it was not pretty. Now, I stay focused between that and 142 and focus more on my body fat. As you said, everyone's different. If your body is comfortable, then don't stress and keep up the hard work!

I am 5'7.5 (but always round up to 5'8). I am currently 160.8 but my goal weight is 135 but if I look like a muscular/toned 140, I will take it! My profile picture is me at 140 before I was pregnant...my inspiration picture.

170, I have a large frame and when I get much lower than that I look weird. 8 lbs. to go!

Gingeeee · July 2012

Here is what I was told, I am 5'8" tall and at my best I was 145lbs which was perfect for me. I gained quite abit of wieght over the last years and of course I am alot older. My goal weight right now is 160lbs which looks good on me.

MNguerita · July 2012

My initial goal is 200 since I have So far to go, but once there, I would like to be between 150-180 ideally so I think once at 200 I will base it on how I feel the weight looks on me and where I feel comfortable with myself and how I "wear" the remaining weight.

I'm 5'8" and am currently shooting for a 145 post-baby body. I'll likely set a new goal once I get there. I'm small framed and weighed 120-125 through college and about 130 before my first pregnancy. Would love to be a more toned/muscular 140. My body has never really known what a muscle looked like so that might be good on me.

We'll see!
