5'8" Ladies, what is your goal weight?

brandiuntz · November 2013

I'm working on body recomp. I think I'll end up looking "best" at 155. I currently float from 158-163lb. Final number will be more about definition and my general feeling.

HannahJDiaz25 · November 2013

I weight 135-138 depending on the time lol. I ma pretty happy with this weight. I don't have to work out too much or diet too strictly to maintain it. However, I notice that I feel better when I am lifting heavy weights and doing a smattering of cardio and yoga.
I actually get thinner, but my weight goes up a little. I am 138-142 when lifting and eating correctly (However I go from a size 7 to a 5 when I am lifting...muscle is heavy but compact) :-)

I'm 5'8.5 and my goal weight is around 140. I'm 146 at the moment and feeling pretty pleased with my top half, but its a thigh and hips situation for me- hoping to drop a little more fat to let those leg muscles show through. My size is 34-28-39.

I am just shy of 5'8" and I used to have a goal weight of 150. Then I started powerlifting and realized you can't have both light and muscular. My new goal is less than 23% body fat and the ability to bench my own body weight, whatever that is. Good luck to everyone!

150! I want to have some tone to my muscle too, so I will initially want to be lower than that but build up.

trudijoy · November 2013

I'm somewhere between 5 foot 8 and 9 at 174 cm, and my current weight is 78kg. My goal is 75kg. If I weighed the weight you have as GW I'd be a full on barbie doll...my body type wouldnt take it.

molissep · November 2013

I'm also aiming for 20% body fat...I've never been thin, but I have an athletic build and drs/trainers are usually shocked at my weight because I don't "look" my weight. I'd love to see 150 on the scale, but for me my body composition changes much faster than my scale moves!

Srarojas · November 2013

I'm 5'8 and 127 lbs. I'm at the goal weight I set a few months ago, but now I want to put on muscle. According to my trainer, I'm not supposed to worry about the number on the scale, just body fat %. I'll have to get over watching the numbers go up on the scale. Needless to say, I'm sure it will be a difficult adjustment.

babyj0 · November 2013

I'm shooting for 140.

MissKalhan · November 2013

My ultimate goal is 15% body fat but we will see. I want MUSCLESSS Lol

babyj0 · November 2013

I'm 27 and currently at 165. I've been as much as 180, and as low as 145 (back in college). My goal is 145, but every time I've lost weight (I'm terrible about gaining and losing the same 10 pounds) I seem to hit a wall at 150.

150 has looked like several different things on my body. When I was a dancer, 150 looked great - I had definition in my stomach, and a lot of muscle. Other times I've had a muffin top at 150. So it all depends on your body and muscle composition!

I've hit the same numbers as you around the same time! Lol twinsies.

minimalistmom · November 2013

My lowest weight was 172 lbs. (size 10/12) and the doc said my weight was fine, so I took that as my cue to NOT lose anymore.

I also ran a couple of half marathons was training for a marathon and like to do yoga. Don't let the scale do the judging, use a measuring tape.

dynamicdreamer · November 2013

SW: 255, CW: 218, 34.12% body fat, size 16/18. I run an 18 min mile and can do about 6 push ups on my knees.

Goal: 125-135, 20% body fat, size 2/4. I want to be able to run a 30 min 5K (about 10min/mile) and do 50 push ups without using my knees.

lysslax · November 2013

My current goal is 165 which is what I weighed as a college athlete...about 12 lbs to go.

If I can continue to reduce my body fat that would be great as well! I'm aiming for 20% (Currently about 27%)

Now I'm wondering if I should lose more based on all the responses I'm seeing here aiming for 130-140........the last time I was in the 140s I was running high school track as a 15 y/o and pretty much starving myself at the same time. I'm not sure that's realistic for me.

servilia · November 2013

130-140. Currently 149.

caseys29 · November 2013

I'm 5'8 and currently 291. My goal weight is 175, although if I get there, I may revamp my goal weight. I was usually around 150-160 in high school and wore anywhere from a size 6 to a 10, and I'd be happy with a size 12 now. I tend to carry weight all over, so it takes about 30 pounds weight loss, or more, for me to go down a size.

kellenas · November 2013

I'm 5'7" and my goal weight is actually between 160 and 170. However, I'm more interested in lowering my body fat.

melissat888250 · November 2013

5'9" lady here, 25 yo. When I was 18 I was 5'7" and 100 lbs. Freshman year of college I grew 2 inches and gained 15 pounds. I maintained 115 through out college, but found less time to exercise after I graduated and more money to buy whatever I wanted to eat and eat out whenever I wanted. I was 155 at my physical in March 2012. I switched birth control in January and started packing on pounds. I peaked at 185 this summer, and have been working to lose weight since then. I'm currently at 170 and would ideally like to get down to the 115 of my college years. My first goal to reach is 140 pounds though.
