Hello MFPs!!! Here it goes, I'm 5'8 3/4 looking to get myself down to 147 and I was wondering two things.
1. Is anyone out there that is already approximately this hight and weight (I'd love to see what that looks like for motivation!)
2. I would like a few friends with the same goals as I do.
Thanks for reading!

    Hi!
    I am 5'9 with an ultimate goal of 155. Started in February at 177.9 lbs, 8 weeks later I am at 162.7 lbs. Feel free to friend me, and look at my pictures!

    I'm fairly close to your goals....I'm 5'8 and currently hovering around 170lb. I'd like to get to 155 at least.....147 would be better! :happy: I actually started around 186, but didn't really start using MFP until 176. I'm sticking pretty close to my 1200 calories per day (I go over a bit on the weekends sometimes) and am doing the C25K program. The pounds have been coming off REALLY slow for me, but the inches have been a better story! Feel free to friend me!!!

    Hi
    I'm also 5'8, though unfortunately not as slim as yourself YET! Im currently 195lbs with an (eventual) goal of 140lbs. Was last that weight 5 years (and 3 babies) ago, and was roughly a very trim 10/12......currently a flabby 16 (uk sizes). Will get there again though!

    I'm 5'9 and weighed in at 147 this morning! my goal is 140 becasue I still have squishy/jiggly parts, but this body is defintely something I could live with if suddenly I just can't lose any more lbs. :)

    Hi! I am 5'8.5" and I weigh 155 and my goal weight is 145. Feel free to friend me. I eat 1590 calories a day because I have those 'last 10' to lose to I'm going to try to tone my way down :)

    I am 5'8" and have a goal of 145. I started at 175.8 then got down to 147, but really screwed up over the winter months, so I am basically starting over at 166 as of today. I am really hoping to be 145 by the start of this Fall and keep working out and eating right to maintain it.

    I'm 5'10" with a 140-160lbs goal, most likely around 145lbs.

    I am nearly 5'9 and my goal right now is to reach 170. I have been down to 150 before and I dont look healthy, think large frame, muscle-ly, (I work with horses). I just started with MFP about a month ago when I broke my leg. I have any physical limitations right now, but I am keeping with my 1200 cals and walking with my crutches 30 some mins a day. I cannot wait till mid april when I get my screws out and am allowed to walk again.

    Friend me of you like!

    I'm 5'8" and started myfitnesspal nearing 170. I was between 140 and 150 through high school, college and the first few years after college.... trying to get back into that range. I'd be satisfied at 150 -- giddy at 145 -- singing the hallelujah chorus at 140. ;)

    I'm 5'9.5" and 150 right now. I have jiggly love handles, hips and thighs to work on, so my goal is to be 135-145lbs. However, I think I'm looking pretty trim in clothes right now! I figure I have a couple of months to lose the rest in time for bathing suit season.

    I'm 5'8" & 3/4 too. And I'll hold on to the 3/4ths FOREVER!! :happy: I'm fluctuating between 157-159 right now. Looking to get to 145. Feel free to add me, I always love dropping motivational messages!!

    Well I am about 5'7" and stuck at 150. My goal weight is 135. I am pretty much sticking to my caloric intake of about 1200 per day and I workout everyday except for the weekend. Every Friday I am down to 149 and every Monday I am back up to 150-151...very frustrating...but this weekend, I am going to workout and try to drink less. Yes the wine and beer are my downfall on the weekends. But NOT this weekend. i have stepped up my workouts and now it's time to step up on the weekends. Good Luck my fellow MFP's!

    I'm the same height and am currently 168 lbs with a goal of 150 lb. Feel free to add me anyone! This is the lowest weight I've ever been and hope to keep going strong :)

    I'm about 5'9 3/4 and my goal is 160. A couple years ago I was down to 140 and when I sat in the bath tub, I would feel my butt bones and it actually felt uncomfortable, so I think 140 is just too thin for me. When I get to 160, I will decide if I want to go down any more. I think between 150 and 160 is best for my frame.

    I am 5'8.75" and my goal is 150... I haven't seen that since middle school so I don't know if it is realistic but I'm trying! I have lost over 30 pounds so far and these last 20 are hard!!!

    Hi!
    I'm 5'9. I like being tall, but there are definitely times where I just feel like a giant. My sister, also tall, consoles me with the fact that we are just "mountain" people. =D

    I started at 165, am down to 163ish and am hoping to work my way down to 140. If I'm happy at 145, I'll stay there.
    We can do this!

    Hi there!

    I am 5'8" and currently at 170 lbs. My goal right now is to get to 160 - 165 lbs. I like onawho have been down to 145/150, but did not look healthy at all. I'm a big girl, I think I would fall over if I got to skinny, if you know what I mean. ;) My husband is happy where I am and I just want to get down a few more lbs - for me! Good luck!!

    I'm 5'8 and also aiming for about 150, maybe a little more or a little less. I've still got a long long way to go yet though.

    Me too! When I weighed 150 I was curvy size 10 or 12 and looked and felt great. Good luck to you!
