5'8" Women weight goal?

I'm 5'81/2'' and I think it just depends on where your journey starts. I was 160 with a BMI MUCH higher than it should have been. I worked out and logged everything and got down to 135 right before my wedding, and my BMI was closer to 19% which is very healthy. I maintained at about 140 for a while before getting pregnant and I hope to get down to that weight once the baby is here. I don't think 140 is too small, it all depends on your goals, where you start and what you want for yourself.

I'm 5'8" and my goal is 150-160. I got down to 177 two years ago and I was very confident that losing just 20 more would have been perfect for me. Sadly I gained a lot of weight back, but I am slowly losing again. I'd say for me, 150 would be the lowest I could aim for.

I'm 5'8 and my goal is 140lb, because that's the weight I normally am. At that weight I am a UK size 10/12, closer to 12. After an accident my weight crept up to 168lb, and for me that looks quite chubby. I'm currently 152lb. I think it depends on body shape though, I have seen pics on here of people my height close to 160 and they look amazing whereas I just look podgy. I'm a pear shape so my thighs always seem to look thick whatever weight I am!

I'm 5'8 and my current weight is 138. My original goal was 155-160, but I ended up getting down to 144 and just kept going. I don't want to get below 135 because then my face starts to look 'gaunt' and aged.
I'm currently a US size 6 or 8, depending on the cut and style.

I'm 5'8" (42 yrs old) and have been maintaining around 138-140lbs for two years now. I lost about 15 lbs and feel like this is the perfect weight for me. Since I wasn't technically overweight it was not as much about losing weight, it was reducing my BF%.

Want to point out that 5'8" , 160 lbs with a lot of muscle looks much different than 160 lbs with low muscle mass. My goal is 160 also, but at age 47 and currently 215 lbs, my goals have tempered. It may change once I get there, but I love to cook and eat, so there's that!

I'm 5'7" and I am thinking anywhere between 143 to 150 is good. I was skinny at 130 before and now that I'm older I don't feel I need to be at the lower side of normal anymore to feel comfortable and healthy.

I am 5' 8" and my goal is 165lbs.

I've noticed those posts too and I have always wondered what that weight would look like on me. I can understand frame and body fat can play a role, although many of the women would describe their shape as medium or large... I am a little under 5'8 and I an currently 169 lbs. My goal weight is between 155 and 160. Beyond that my face and upper body looks frail. There is a website called my body gallery which shows examples of women with the same height and weight which helps put body frames in perspective.

I am 5'7" and 164 right now (started at 185), and I can definitely tell I've got at least another 20 to go to not be so flabby. I'm not comfortable in a bikini just yet - little too much body fat. Maybe someone at 160 and 5'7"-5'8" might look okay if they were very fit/muscular (that's not me, yet!), but that's definitely on the upper end of normal. Different people like different looks, though. I can't imagine myself at 115, but maybe it looks good on some people our height? Again, that's on the very, very low side of normal. My goal is to be somewhere in the middle - anywhere between 135-145 is where I'm planning on heading. I say, as long as your goal is somewhere near the healthy range, then stop worrying about other people and pick a weight that you're comfortable with that you will be able to maintain.

5'8" here and my goal is 150 or 160 if it's muscle rather than fat. I look a lot heavier than other people my same weight so I know at goal I will still look huge, but realistically I cannot see myself maintaining at a lower weight without dedicating my self full time to weightloss. If that was my only activity other than work then maybe 130 or 140 would be a good goal.

My Doctor says the BMI is *kitten* because two diff people at 5'8 and the same weight can look completely diff. Its about body fat percentage and muscle mass, also bone density is a factor. I look extremely fit at 170. 160 would be my ultimate goal and my Doctor says I shouldn't go lower than 160. This lady proves it - 175 and legs for days!

This is me at 175 pounds, I think 15 less would look perfect, get rid of the last bits of flab, according to BMI, I could lose 50 pounds and still be healthy. 50 pounds??! That's like a huge bag of dog food, where would it even come off? Goes to show I guess, how different it is for everyone!

Oh wait I'm a dumb *kitten* you are the woman who posted the question. You look fricken fabulous.

Hi everyone. I'm also 5'8 and my goal is between 150-160.
