any 5'7 girls out there?

Hey There!

I'm new on here and I'm 5'7''! ... may be a little over...

Currently, I am 145 pounds and my goal weight is 120 pounds. I know that sounds kind of low, but according to conventional BMI calculators that is still within a healthy weight range. The lowest I have ever been is 127 and then after 2 years of eating nothing but junk, I am back to 145. At my heaviest I weighed 180 pounds which was not very fun, but I lost it using a combination of hCG and low-carb dieting

I don't think any goal is unreasonable I welcome anyone to friend me! You can never have too much support!

5'7 and 170lbs right here !!! I need friends that wont judge me if I eat cake for breakfast lol !!

I think it depends on your build. I am 5' 7" and look like I weigh less than I do. Nobody every believes how much I weigh!

My weight loss targets always end up at least 15lbs higher than most others my height. I am pretty fit for my age/size and quite muscular - used to play sports like rugby and I ride horses - strong legs, LOTS of heavy muscle!

I am currently just over 180lbs which sounds heavy (and is!) but to give you an idea, I am currently a size 14 (UK) which I think is a size 10 US? (please correct me if I am wrong about sizing). I have friends who weigh 15-20lbs less than me who are the same size.

The lowest I have weighed in the last 15 years (I am 39 BTW) was 149lbs which put me at a UK 10 (US 6?) but everyone told me I looked way too skinny. My first target is to get to 154lbs (most likely this will see me at about a size 12 UK / 8 US) and take it from there.....

So if anyone out there is reading some of the figures and thinking 'no way, that's too low for me', you are not alone Don't freak out, aim for something that is realistic.

I have decided to use hip:waist ratios as a better indication of how I am doing. I am currently at a ratio of .80 . This is right at the upper end of healthy . 0.70 (or thereabouts) would be fantastic....

Edited to say. My profile pic was taken when I started MFP - was a size 16. Have lost 10lbs since then.

140 was my goal and I reached it but have dropped a little below now so I'll have 140 as my top weight and if I go over it I'll work to stay under it. Aimed for this weight as its bang in the middle of "Healthy" on the BMI scale.

I'm 5'7 and 141 lbs and I still feel huge... I think it's a body fat thing, I feel like I look 15-20 lbs heavier than I am. So I dunno, my goal is 125-130 because of that, though I'd really be fine with my current weight if more of it were muscle... lol

hey i'm 5'7 and trying to get to 135-140 for my wedding currently 144 but cant seem to budge from this weight at all completely stopped so i'm stepping up my cardio regime, be diet isnt awful and i generally find dieting hard so exercise it is!! goodluck xx

5'7 here! The lowest weight I've ever been is 151 lbs for my personal build that was too skinny and unsustainable. I was UK size 10 but had no shape to me. I'm doing it by clothing this time. I'd like to be a UK size 14 as I think I would still have a nice shape to me at that size. That may be somewhere between 160-170 lbs. Maybe even more. My start weight this time was 259 lbs (eeekk) down 29 lbs so far Around another 60 lbs to go!

I am 5'7" and weigh 147 right now. My highest was about 170 and that was big for me. My measurements are 34-28-39. My goal weight is anywhere between 135 and 140 but I do think that measurements are more important than weight. I am doing a lot of toning through weights, squats, etc and have a goal of 34-26-37. We'll see how it goes!!!
