How much do you weigh? Just looking at the different weights out height can have? Are you athletic build?

I'm 5'7". Currently 169. Next goal is 159 which will put me in the normal BMI range. Then 140 ish I think is my ultimate goal but I am willing to change that depending on how I look and feel as I get closer to goal. I believe around 120 is the lowest someone of our height should go. If you're getting close to that and not happy with how you look, you should focus on gaining muscle and losing body fat.0

I am 5'8" and am about 150 now. I would like to get back to 140 but I look good now so I am in no rush.
I have fairly broad shoulders and rib cage so I carry weight well. I tend to be a bit muscley too, so I guess I am of an athletic build, although I am not in great shape right now.
I am a size 8 or med/large0 -
5'8 and now 98kg (woo!). I don't know what this in lbs.
89kg will put me out of the obese BMI range and into overweight. 75kg puts me into the normal range.
Aiming for 70kg then 65kg.
Very pear shaped.0 -

You're 215.6which is just about my starting weight here
lbs X 2.2 = kg
and it's easy to do in your head...
just double the kg then divide that number by 10 and add it again
eg 98x2 = 196
196/10= 19.6
So 196 + 19.6 = 215.6

I'm just starting out here on MFP. I'm 5'7 and currently 296 and about 44%. I'd love to say I'm an "athletic build", but I'd have to be one of those steroid strong women, which I'm not, lol
My first goal is 150, when I did have a moderately athletic build, and then 135, which is the median healthy bmi for my height and percentage.0 -
5'6.75 (was 5'7" when younger!); weight between 10 stone & 10 stone 2 (140-142). Quite active, work out 6 days a week.0

I'm 5ft 7" and currently 177. Trying to get to 145 - Think around 140 is maintainable and a nice size for 5.6-5.8 heights . However, if you do a lot of resistance/muscle building you may be heavier than that but look leaner. Totally depends how you carry too! I'm an apple.x0

I agree with you and think it's very important, on threads like this, to note how different bodies hold weight differently
Unfortunately the phrase a 'nice size' for heights when referring to weights is against this concept and perhaps inappropriate because a nice size for me is 20lbs over your goal which puts me in clothing size 6 (US) .... there is a reason as you've pointed out in terms of composition, that there is a scale of weights that are within healthy ranges
To be honest that's one of the reasons I post on threads like this - took me a long while to accept that scale weight is virtually irrelevant to body composition and that I don't have to be x weight to look good. Many think I weigh heavy, many use my weight as a starting point and they are my height ..
yet at 160lb my body looks awesome

im 5foot 7 and currently 15 stone.. want to get down to 13 stone as i was able to wear a bikini at that weight.. i carry weight well thank god. i was 20 stone 5. after 2 babies one after another0

I'm 5'7" and currently at 164. My first goal is 147. I'd say I'm quite broad, with muscly shoulders and legs, mainly due to having a horse and used to lifting big bales of hay and shavings. Would like to start some lifting to improve composition. As far as weight goes, once I reach 147 I'll probably eat at maintenance for a little while then reassess.0

5'7" and starting weight 205. Currently at 197. Looking to get to around 140. I do not have an athletic build. I guess I'm pear shaped? Small breasts, large hips.0

I'm 5'8" 185 and still have lots of body fat to go. My sister is 5'8" and 135 and is very slim, but gracile, not athletic. The lowest she ever got was 127 after a flu (aka NOT a healthy weight!)0

Hey! I'm 5'7 and I weigh 154 lbs. My goal weight is 140 lbs. I also want to do a bikini competition so my "stage weight" goal is 130 lbs. #Goals0

5'7", 208. I wear anywhere from a 12 to an 18 on clothes, depending on the brand and cut.
I have A LOT of muscle, so it's hard to see high numbers on a scale even when I've been thinner. I also have broad shoulders, so I'm always going wear bigger sizes. I was a size 8 a few years ago, but still weighed 175. That's my goal now. Just to be a size 8. Heck, even a 10.
Starting weight (Jan 1) 219
Goal weight #1 (Feb 1): 210
Goal weight #2 (March 1) 200
Goal weight #3 (April 1) 192
Goal weight #4 (June 1) 185
Goal weight #5 (July 1) 180
Goal weight #6 (August 1) 175
Goal weight #7 (September 1) 170
