in Health and Weight Loss
I'm around 5'7 and I have a medium build. I'm currently around 147 and my measurements are 34-29-38. My SW fluctuated between 157-159. I wanted to lose weight because of my massive stomach and thighs. My goal is currently 130, cuz I still want a butt ;). I also want to lose around 4 more inches off my waist and 3 more inches off my hips. I think these goals are realistic because I've been exercising but not eating the best and I lost 10 pounds in about 6 weeks.

So what are your goals? I want to know just out of curiosity.

    I'm 5'7". 142lbs and measurements are 34-29-36. I was shooting for 135 but now I'm thinking maybe 125. I'm losing very slowly now, I upped my calories and I've increased exercise so hoping I can make a dent in my waist and thighs.

    I'm happy weighing what you did to start. My measurements are 37-32-38... built like a tree, but that's just how it is. I just want to get stronger and faster. Maybe take off 5 more lbs of fat.

    I am 5'7 and weigh 139. Started at 148. Medium build. My goal was 135 but, as I am only 4pounds away thinking maybe 130 since I still need to lose inches. Losing tougher now!

    I am 5'6", 43 yrs old and started at 219 lbs. I am currently 187. My goal for the year is 170 and then will reevaluate. My doctor told me not to set too large of a goal that 170-180 was good.

    The healthy weight range for someone who is 5'7 is 118 to 159. So your current weight is getting towards the lower end of this range already.

    I'm 5'7". Current weight about 139. SW 147. My goal weight is whatever is takes to get most of the cellulite off my legs. It's crept on gradually as I've aged and my lean muscle mass has diminished. So the plan is exercise, lift weights, eat well till I'm not totally self conscious in shorts/bathing suits.

    My current goal on here is 145, but honestly I will be happy in the 140-150 range. I've been in this range before, as well as lower, and I look healthy in the 140's and like an underfed teen in the 130's.

    SW was 210
    CW is 173
