So I was wondering, for the ladies that are 5'7 tall, age is not that important, what is your weight goal? What is your frame?
I am 38 years old, small bones ( small frame), pear/hourglass shape, bottom heavy.... 1 daughter, 8 years old....
I started at 151 lbs and my goal is 125lbs.
What is yours?
thanks!
P.S> feel free to friend me!
«134

    Given the ratios on Fat to Fit radio (base don current body fat percentage, etc.). I've been told that my ideal weight is 143-147, but the thinnest I've ever been was 132. I liked that weight level, but others have told me that I was too skinny. So for now, I'm shooting for 140. I'm currently 163.

    I'm a smidge over 5'7", and my goal (right now) is 150. My initial goal weight was 165, and I am considering a goal of 140. I have no idea what is realistic for my body; I have never been a healthy weight. I may get to 175 and decide that I'm hot enough. ;)

    I'm currently 252 (officially; I weigh officially and post to MFP once a month) or 244 (on my home scale where I weigh daily). My starting weight was 315. Yikes... that's still hard to "say" out loud.

    I'm interested in seeing the other responses.

    Im 5'7.5" and I feel good at 150-160. So that is my tentative goal for now. I will know better once I get closer and I want to build some muscle which I didnt have last time I got down to that weight.

    I'm 5'7' and have a medium to large frame - broad shoulders, large hands (bigger than most men!). Anyway, I'd like to weigh 160 to 165. 14lbs till there.

    I'm closer to 5'9, but also have a very small frame (for the gloves I'm knitting, I had to make the 5-year-old wrist size for it to fit!). I'm at 143 now and hope to be around 130 ultimately. For some people that is low, but your frame really affects your ultimate goal.

    5'7'', started here around 210 pounds (now 183 lbs) and my goal weight is 130 lbs.

    I choose that number because I was 163 lbs during highschool and I was pretty big then also... so around 130 lbs seems a pretty good goal. Most calculators tell me my ideal weight is around 135 lbs... but I must get there to see if it is a good goal.

    I'm 24 years old.

    Hello I'm new to MFP but have been using WW for a few months. I'm 5'6" and I think my ultimate goal is 155 pounds. I can't picture myself at that weight yet. I started at 283 and I'm now at 268. I've got a long way to go but I'm all in!

    Thanks for posting this. I'm 5'7" with a medium to large frame I'd say. My goal is to stay under 160 but preferably be between 140-150.

    I wanted to get to 125, but I don't think it's happening. I can't seem to get any lower than 133-134. I just want to once see the scale say one twenty something, but I guess that's a dumb goal if I look and feel great in the low 130's.

    I'm 5'7" and I'm shooting for 132-135. But I'm more interested in reducing body fat and increasing LBM.

    I'm 5'7 and I started at 153. I have always weighed right at 150, have always been comfortable with that weight and the way I look, clothing size, etc. However, when I signed up on here to get into better shape I set a goal of 135. I am not sure I will ever get below 150, but I don't care. All I am worried about right now is body fat percentage. Good luck to you :)

    I'm 5'7 and want to weigh 135. I got up to 168, which was a scary number for me. I'm 23 and I was letting my weight slip and I did not feel comfortable. I havent weighed in since October. Took a break for vacation this month and am now starting to get back to it!

    59 years old. 5'7" with a small frame by the fingers-around-the-wrist test. My hands are on the small side and my thumb easily overlaps all 4 of my other fingers. I have a long legged, short waisted, ruler/banana type build and any excess fat tends to target my midsection. Starting weight: ~180. Current weight: 123, which is an OK weight for me now. 130 was a better weight for me a quarter century ago when I had more muscle.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is 145 with 17-19% body fat. I'm going more for lean than skinny.

    I have an average frame size.

    My ultimate goal is 5'10" or 5'11". So far the measuring tape hasn't budged. Any tips??

    I'm 5'7 too, my happy place is 130. I've maintained between 130-132 since last July. I don't seem to go lower than that but I like to eat, I'm not doing a 1200 cal diet so this will have to be good enough. LOL
