    I have a medium-small frame and I'm 5'7. My starting weight was 160, and I'm down to 145-143 (fluctuating here right now). My goal is to get below 125. So far I'm doing well, feel free to add me but please include a small message!

    I'm 5'8.5" and I've been a big girl all my life. I have what I think is a large frame (not really sure) and I hope to get down to 170. That is my major goal and I will re-evaluate from there. I've never been that small so I have no clue if that will be good by me. We shall see! :)

    for anyone who doesn't know their frame size here is a website that helps you figure it out. they also have an "ideal weight" calculator once you calculate your frame size

    I am 5' 8". My highest weight was 268, current weight 238, goal weight 145.

    I don't know if I can get back down to 145. That is what I weighed before I started putting on the pounds. At 145 I was a size 6, now I wear size 16. Boy was that hard to admit to. My largest size was 20.

    I'm 5'7". My highest (non-pregnant) weight was 181.2 lbs, I am currently just under 140 lbs, and would like to get down to around 130 lbs (but that's a moving target depending on what my body looks like and how I feel).

    I'm 5'8.5"

    My heaviest weight ever was 235 when I was 23 years old. I lost almost 90 pounds in a year and managed to maintain around 145-150 for almost 4 years. Then I got married, and began the slow process of gaining the weight back. It was anywhere from 3-5 pounds a year. When I turned 39, I was back up to 202. I became determined to NOT be 'fat and forty'

    In April 2011, I set a goal of losing 52 pounds. I was back at a healthy BMI by my 40th (September 2011) birthday and hit my goal weight in February of 2012. After that, I continued to lose weight before finally settling at 136 pounds in June of this year. I've been maintaining that within a +/- 3 pound range since then.

    I have a hybrid frame size :laugh: My wrists, ankles and elbows all fit into the small frame range. But my hips, shoulders and ribcage are all broad and spacious and are probably a medium to large frame.

    I think I look good at 136 lbs/20% bodyfat and would be happy to stay here.

    My goal weight is anywhere between 135-172, my highest weight was over 300, I'm back in the 200s now. (Medium to Large Frame, Hourglass/Pear shaped) it's been almost 7 years since I was at a healthy weight so once I reach my goal 'range' I will just tone up and see where I fall. I do not look good at all 120-130, and I'm actually fine with being over 150 if that's where my body maintains best. I originally started gaining after trying too hard to stay below what was healthy for my frame.

    Depending on your frame size, a healthy weight for 5,8" is 122-164

    I'm 5'9 - highest weight 260, current weight 221 and goal weight is 190. I *think* my goal weight is really just an idea in my head. I don't remember being under 200 (maybe in HS?? now in my 30s) so we'll see when I get there. Definitely noticeable in my face and to my friends. Just going to keep eating well, running and staying positive!

    Used to be not quite 5'9 (lost a couple inched to injury)
    HW: 275-ish (avoided scales)
    CW: 265 (ill and injured and frustrated)
    LW: 150 (way too thin; no periods, no breasts, ribs all visible; fainted a lot; sank in salt water; size 10)
    GW: 170 (might be a little low, but that's my compromise between health & appearance; may not be achievable anyway; at that weight, I am a size 12)

    I'm 5' 8" and have a large frame. At my heaviest, I was 247. Currently, I'm 215.8, and my goal is 165. A couple of years ago, I had gotten down to 180, and at that point I was a size 12. Once I get to 165, I'll decide whether that is a good weight for me or if I want to lose a bit more. I don't really care about the number, but I want to get my body fat% down to the low 20s for sure, and ideally it'd be between 18% and 20%.
