5'7" -ers out there - what's your goal weight??

I'm 5'7! Well, 5'6.8, but I round up. My initial goal weight is 150 (weight I was when I got injured and started gaining), and my final goal weight is 135 (lowest adult weight, when I was 18). Your appropriate weight could vary a lot, depending on body composition and type. I have a very curvy hourglass figure (currently 42" 30" 41") and I'm not really sure that I can get back to 135 with the top-heaviness I've got going on. I've lost some inches from my bust, but most of my weight loss has been from my middle (I started out at 46" 36" 46"). Ultimately, overall fitness and body composition is what's important to me - the "goal weight" is just a guess to use as my target/motivation.

5'7" and my goal weight is around 140. If I stay between 140 and 145 I would be happy.

I'm closer to 5'8" and my ultimate goal is 150. I'm pretty curvy with wide hips, so I'll have to see how I look/feel at 150 to determine if I want to go further. As long as you feel good in your own skin, that's all that matters!

I will be THRILLED at 150!! I know that is a good, realistic weight for me - that hopefully I will be able to maintain!! I'll see when I get there. Maybe I will feel the need to go lower. At that weight, I'm a size 10 (I think - it's been so long). Maybe I'll surprise myself and get in the "140s" - still a long way to go.:blushing:

I'm 5'6" and going for 130. I wouldn't mind being 135 or so if I could build it up as muscle. I'd really like to be in the lower section of "average" body fat percentage. I'm going to get my yearly check up soon and I'm going to ask my doctor what a good goal weight is for me.

I'm also 5'7" and came in with a highest recorded weight of 288. My initial goal is to reach 150 and then see if I need to lose a little more after that.

I'm in the 5'10"-11" range. I have a thin frame and have found that I look my best between 150-155. However, as long as I get back to a comfortable size 6, I don't really care where the scale ends up. Currently, I'm 172 and a size 10.

I started at 150 & my goal weight is 130-135. I'm down to 141, but it's taken me almost 90 days to get there.

145-140

I'm 5' 61/2" and 224.
I'd like to get to around 165, but I'm more concerned with getting body fat % down to 15% or so. It's a much better indicator of overall health than weight or BMI

I'm 5'8" with a end goal between 135-140.

I'm 5'8'' with an end goal between 140-145 (i think)

I am about 5'6 &1/2". My goal weight at this point is 160. If and when I get there I will see if I want to lose anymore. Feel free to friend me if you like.

Interesting...I just used the MFP tool that calculates BMI and it used my info (158 lbs. and 5'7") and it told me the following:

Target weight range: 118.1 - 159.6 lbs

I am (barely) below the high point of the target weight range and still am currently without a doubt overweight. I am hoping I don't need to go much below my original goal weight of 145 to not be fat! :sad:

I am 5' 7.5" and right now my goal weight is 145. I am hoping that at this weight I will have a flat belly, but in all honesty I have no idea how I'll look because I've never been below 170 at this height. If I need to reevaluate, I will, but I've also done "happy weight" and looked at ranges and that's somewhere right in the middle!
