I'm 5'7" 1/2 and weight now 199, but love to see me at 170-180 pounds. That would be a huge improvement for me.0

I'm 5'8" and my goal range is 145-150...I'm maintaining that now. Working on lowering body fat now...0

Great minds think alike. I was just thinking the same thing about some people. It's like the whole world wants to be a tooth pick. Anything under 130 for our height is too skinny. What's wrong with being healthy? We all can't be models.0

At 5'8" anything between 122 and 164 is medically acceptable. If someone chooses to weigh on the lower end of that, that's their choice and lots of people will find it attractive. I personally can't see why a woman would choose to weigh on the upper end of that range (BMI over 22) unless she was a bodybuilder or had an enormous frame, but I'm not gonna push my aesthetic preferences on them because of it.0 -

I'm 5'9 (close enough :P) and my goal is anywhere from 120-140. As long as I look good and feel good0

I'm 5'8 and I wish to weigh around 10st, which I think is around 135?0

OK so I'm 5' 8 1/2"... I was 135 lbs some 15 years ago and trust me I drool over those pics of when I was young and thought I was too FAT - WHAT?? Oh boy.. Now I wonder if I can get down that low. I'm right now aiming for 150-160. January 2 SW = 246. Current weight 213. Not too Shabby! I can't imagine what another 50 pounds less would feel like!0

I am 5'8 and I am 150 pounds as of today.
I have a goal of 145, so only 5 pounds left. I am happy where I am now at 150 but I want to lose a little more inches and tone up. So I am not really focusing on the scale.0 -
I'm 5'8" and I'm 182lbs right now. I dont really look like it at first because I have a lot of muscle but I have alot of fat to lose.
I'm aiming for 120-130 - Very slim, athletic build for running.0 -
Im 5"8 and i weigh 125. People say im awfully skinny and anorexic... Its not the best to be called that. It sucks . I feel your pain0

I'm a little bit taller, and my goal is 150 (which I hit and have now maintained for 10 months). But now, I'm thinking I could perhaps afford to go a little lower, so I'm planning on working on that I think. Not much lower, maybe 10lbs.0
-
145. 10 pounds to go....0
-
currently at 160 lbs looking to get down to 143 then maybe even as low as 1350

Hello,
I'm 5' 8" and curious what others my height are aiming for weight wise.
While I do have a weight loss goal, and am tracking my food, exercise and measurements, my real personal goals are more activitity oriented (I want to run a 5k this summer; I want to compete in warrior dash this fall), size focused (drop down 2 dress/pant sizes) and health guided (not to get out of breath when playing with my kids).
So, out of curiosity, what weight do you, as a 5' 8" woman, feel is comfortable for you?
My daughter is 5'8" and she weighs 130. But, she's at the gym daily. I have often seen this: First 5' is 100# and you add 5# for each additional inch. But, everyone is different so that's just a guideline.0
