Girls who are 5"8, be kind to read this post

I'm 5'7" and currently 178 lbs. I started at 210 and as of right now my goal is 155, but that is subject to change. I'm currently in a size 14-16 jean (depending on brand/cut) and L-XL shirt depending on the brand/cut (very large chest). I say 155 because that's the high end of the healthy BMI range, and I am really want to be considered healthy for once in my life!!! My biggest problem area is my stomach and thighs.

I am almost 5'10 and started off at a massive 283lbs, my "goal weight" is 180.

Hi i am 5"8 and weigh 142. I was at my goal weight (130) 9 weeks ago. But had a mommy makeover. Tummytuck and breast implants. I am happy with the results, but felt much better at my goal weight. I am now working my butt off to feel great again. But man when you stop working out for six weeks you have to start all over again.

I'm 5'7 but I want to play too : )

I am currently pregnant - about 210-213
I my highest weight was 315, and I did get to see 199.8 before I started puttin on pregnancy weight.

My goal is 150-160 - I have a large frame however, and I dont think I will ever be less than 150

Im not 5'8".. only 5'6" but I would like to share that I started the last week of June this year at 233 pounds and today i weighed in at 209.1 pounds.

I dont "diet" and I dont buy or cook foods seperate from my family. I use basic portion control and I exercise.

My first "major" goal is 25 pounds lost (SOO close!)

My next goal is to be less than 200 pounds

My "goal" weight is to reach 160, but I would really like to be 150 again.

My profile picture was when I was 145 pounds and IMO that was too skinny.

Good luck to you!

Edited to say 209.1 pounds.. i wrote 109.1... ha!

Close, I'm 45, 5'7" weight 130 and 13.5% bodyfat.

I'm a little shy of 5'8, but just to "weigh in", someone might get discouraged seeing all you girl's low weights. It makes a difference if you are large frame. I started July 31 at 201, now down 16 lbs, (yay), I want to get to 170. When I went down to 155, people did not say, "You look great", they said, "Have you been sick, are you OK?" So you have to look at more than just a good #, its a good # for you that is important.

I'm 5'8", with a medium frame, and currently 27.7% body fat. I'm also a pear/hourglass shape (I am smaller up top than my hips, but not dramatically smaller like most pears, so I think I'm more of an hourglass). My highest weight was around 190 lbs when I was a young teenager (worst time to be overweight), my current weight is 164.8 lbs, and my lowest weight has been 143ish lbs. I'm actually not necessarily looking to get back into the 140s again--if I can maintain the muscle mass I've built over the last year or so, then I would have the body fat % I want (20-22%) at around 150 lbs (where before I was 24% at 143 pounds). I don't aspire to be a size 8 (US), and don't even know if lower than a 10 is attainable thanks to my child-bearing hips and quads of steel (being a half-marathoner builds some serious muscle in that region...)

Weight looks different on different people depending on your frame size, your lean body mass, your shape, etcetera...but it's cool to see where everyone else is at! (:

I'm 1.73 cm (or just under 5'8") tall and started at 251 pounds in May 2011, just before turning 39. I'm now 184 and would like to lose another stone. My original goal was to reach the top end of a normal BMI, but as BMI does not account of build/frame size, I might be doing myself a disservice by aiming towards that. Still I'll have to see

I cycle (built into my commute by getting off the train a bit earlier and using longer routes to travel between places), jog (40 minutes or so, or or twice a week), cross-train (40 minutes again, three or four times a week) and do weights (3-4 times per week.

I enjoy all that but look forward to investing a bit less time in it once I reach my goal, as this feels like having a second job.

I have a fairly large frame and am quite strong, so feel that, at the moment, much less weight would feel odd on me. If I can maintain 12 stone, I might change my mind later.

It feels like I'm the fattest one on this thread so far, so thought I should speak up!

I'm 5'8" currently at 154 feel free to add me!
