5'7" ladies

You did a fantastic job!!

I am aiming for 150-155 because the last time I weighed in at that range, I think I looked pretty good and i certainly felt pretty good. If, when I reach 150, I feel I could lose more, then I will go for it.

I am strength training as well, and I have noticed that, at my current weight, I am smaller than I was 2 years ago (at the same weight).

I'm 5'7" nowhere near goal but the 'normal' range for our height is somewhere around 120-160, it all depends on your body frame. I am larger/medium framed so I am aiming for 155 and once I get there I will see how I feel and reset my goal if i need to.

this is my before and after from 180ish to 147... I'm right between 5'7 and 5'8 and I've never been this slim in my adult life so I'm not sure how much farther I want to continue to lose. I originally set my goal at 25lbs to lose for medical reasons but I adjusted to 35lbs when the weight came off in just over 8 weeks and now I'm considering going down to 135 for a total weight loss of 45lbs because my body is definitely slowing down in the rate of weight loss as I get smaller but it's certainly not plateauing.

I will try and upload a pic. I haven't put any new pics on MFP this year

My dr says 155 but I want 145, we'll see when I get there! I'm 186.2 now. 5'6.5"

I'm 5'6.5'' and probably 120 in this pic. I tend to hover around that weight but am sometimes a couple pounds heavier. I haven't weighed myself lately.

*This pic as in my profile pic.

I am just shy of 5'8 and currently weigh 170lbs. I would love to weigh as little as 130lbs but have set my goal at 150 because Mr Man prefers me with what he calls "curves".

I'm 5'6 and 3/4.. I started at 150 and now weigh between 135-138.. I am in maintenance.

Just my thoughts, rather than aiming for a number on the scale aim for getting to a place where you feel good about your body and the way it looks to you in the mirror.
When I started MFP, I was aiming for 170ish because that’s where I was when I was in my best shape but now I’m realizing that 170ish may not be as obtainable as I once thought. But that’s not a bad thing, I’ve been tracking my bodies measurements, my arms, calves, hip and legs are getting slightly bigger while my neck, waistline, and even my moobs are decreasing in size but for the last three weeks the scale has only fluctuated up and down a pound. I have a feeling I may eventually settle around 180ish which as long as I can walk on the beach without people trying pushing me back in the water, I’ll be good with that.
Keep in mind that your body composition also comes into play, i.e. petite or medium built. I have somewhat broad shoulders so I’d never get to my BMI’s weight of 150ish.
So good luck I wish you luck with reaching your goals.

I am 5'7" and my goal is 145. My highest was over 200, but right now I started at 180. I am 49 and have thyroid issues too. I fit in size 12 comfortably now.

Probably in the 120s for me. I'm 145 now but I'm carrying a good bit of squish on my stomach and my upper thighs are a little "fattier" than I would like.

This is assuming I only lost fat and didn't gain muscle - in that event the scale number wouldn't matter.

I am 5'7" and currently around 171-173. I have a large frame. Around 157-161 I was in pretty good shape and looking pretty toned.. wearing 10's and even some 8's. I'd like to at least get to 160 to start... and then maybe 150!

Commenting to follow---

I'm almost 5'8", and 157 pounds, and let me say, it doesn't look good on me. I'm not one of those girls that weight evenly distributes on. I'm small boned, and very pear shaped so I have huge thighs, love handles, and a very lumpy stomach. I look semi-decent with clothes on, but I haven't put on a swimsuit in 3 years because I can't deal with it.

You ladies look amazing though! I'm hoping some day I can post my before and afters.
