Hello! I'm just under 5'7 and I would like to know what other women my height are aiming for with their weight loss :) I'm currently 164lbs (Maybe 163lbs I didn't have the most accurate scale experience today) I originally wanted to be 147lbs but now I'm hoping to maybe aim lower and get to 133lbs.

Would love to hear what you lovely ladies want to get at! :)

    5'7 here! My original goal was 140lbs which is right in the middle of a healthy BMI, but I'm 143lbs right now and think I might go down to 135lbs. No lower than that, though.

    I'm 5"7 and my original goal weight was 160 (right on the edge of healthy BMI) but once I hit that I decided to go down to 145 which is roughly in the middle of a healthy BMI :)

    I'm 5'5-1/2". In my 20s my healthy weight was 115. Now that I'm pushing 60, I'm not completely sure what to aim at, but I know that at 238 I've got a lot of room for improvement! My doctor would turn handflips if I hit 150. I might even join him.

    5'7 and I set my goal as 140 but I'm happy anywhere between 140 and 160. I was 160 when I got married 7 years ago and felt happy with my weight then.

    5'6", my goal is 120. I am currently 134. I was 121 in August, but had some set backs with my willpower.

    5'7"
    Start weight: 210lbs(started before mfp)
    Current weight: 153lbs
    Goal weight: 135-140lbs

    I may be losing faster than I should, I am eating between 16-1800cal/day but I am in the right mindset right now so I think I will just go with it. Feeling great and had to order smaller swim bottoms already! Am slightly sad about all the clothes I am shrinking out of.

    So interesting! I'm 5'7'' and my original goal was 180....that was a long time ago! Now I'm not quite sure, but I can't see myself ever going lower than 150....so maybe 150.

    I'm a little over 5'6 and my first goal is 150! I was that weight for a longgg time and still slipped into a size 3/4. I think I'll want to be a little lower once I get there, but we'll see!

    Amazing how our body types are so very different. I am at a size 10, maybe an 8 depending on brand. 3/4 will never happen with these hips! Lol

    5' 6.75" here. I'm currently around 133-135. This puts me somewhere between a 6-8 jeans and a S-M shirt.

    About a year and a half ago, I was the same weight but a 4-6 jeans. I had a personal trainer 2x a week and was in the gym an additional 1-2x a week. More muscle/less fat at the same weight.

    With my current less muscular body composition, I'd like to be around 130. I haven't really found the motivation to be there yet, and I'm just hoping to maintain until the beginning of the year.

    5'6.5 and 178 pounds currently. Less than 2 years ago I was 153 so I've gained about 25 pounds :( My goal weight is 145. If anyone wants to add me, I'm looking for support friends!!!

    I'm 5'7" and currently 177lbs. My goal right now is 160, mainly because that would put me into a normal BMI. I'll evaluate from there, because I love strength training, so I might look to recomp at that point or I might try to get to 150...we'll see what my body looks like then and where my training is.

    I'm between 5'7'' and 5'8'' and being 120lbs has always been my dream....I just want to fit in a size 2 dress size. If I start to see my ribs I'm going to stop though. I'm not willing to hate my body just because I want to get in a dress.

    I'm 5' 6'' and I've just reached my goal of under 144! I will aim to maintain at 140-144. At this weight I'm a UK size 10-12, and feel fantastic!
