lol I have no idea how much I'm supposed to weigh. I've always been overweight! I was probably 260 at my heaviest in 2003 before I started Atkins & lost 60 lbs. I lost another 20 a few years ago & got down to 180 but then it crept back up and here I am. I'm determined this time is it. I have a slender frame. Websites say I should weigh between 147-165. We'll see, I guess!
What are you other 5' 8" Gen X ladies aiming for?
Well, I'm 5'7.3".
My goal range (now in maintenance) is 128-133. (I spent most of my adult life yoyoing from 139 to 161.) However, I have a small bone structure and not much muscle so I look better at lower weights. Body fat percent is still around 27-28% even now at goal range (I'm planning to start a recomp--eat at maintenance while strength training--after my race on May 13 to try to gradually lose a bit more fat and gain a bit more muscle).
147-165 sounds like a reasonable range based on your stats. If I were you, I'd maybe aim for 165-170 and then re-evaluate. I had worked to get back to 139 and then re-evaluated and still had more body fat (especially in the belly) than I wanted so I decided to go lower.1 -

Meh. Up 3 lbs from last week. I track my weight daily and I *know* it's a fluctuation but it still sucks. I think shark week is on its way, which for some reason doesn't comfort me at all. Ah well, I'll carry on anyway.5

So I looked up what an ideal weight would be for my height (5' 8") and it ranges from 136-164 lbs. I have a medium frame so I think I'll shoot for the middle ground of 150 lbs as my GW. 36 more lbs to go!5 -

I'm in for this one.....
I started Keto back in January...
Starting Weight (Keto) (1/1/17): 192.2
Today's weight (5/10/17): 173.6
Down 48.6 from my all-time high, and down 18.6 since starting Keto.
My goal is to be within the healthy range for my height. That is 154 at the top end. My birthday is in 15 weeks, so I would like to be at 154 by then.5 -

5/10: 131.2 (moving average 131.0) I did indulge in more carbs than usual over my birthday weekend, though still technically in "low carb" range: birthday GNO on Friday, birthday ice cream with the fam and birthday date with DH on Saturday, then a friend gave me a homemade birthday cupcake on Sunday. That last is the only one I regret.) I was up to 134.2 on Monday morning so I've lost some, not all of the water weight.3 -
@macchiatto Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had a enjoyable birthday celebration! Don't regret the cupcake!2

Wow, awesome work! Please tell me your secrets for that lovely steady weight loss. I am quite a lot heavier than you and I lose very randomly (several weeks at one weight, drop a lot suddenly, then bounce back up a little bit and repeat the cycle).2 -

This weigh in was quite the pleasant surprise. We were away visiting our grand daughter for 5 days. We had our daughters 30th bday, 32 wedding anniversary, and Mother's Day to celebrate during our time away. My only real splurge was a couple of glasses of wine on Mother's Day. Even eating out a few meals, I didn't find it to difficult to stay the course. It helped we were busy keeping up with a 20 month old!!

In spite of many efforts to jump start a 20 pound reloss campaign, I seem to lose and then creep back up to a weight that has stablized; but I am not comfortable here.
My metabolism is so damaged that ANY variation from a pretty draconion food plan in terms of calorirs or macros causes me to stall or gain.
So anyway, I'm still trying to lose but at least am holding steady at this weight for quite a while now, which is progress in itself. Overall, 110 pounds down and am proud of that, at least.
Still trying to launch from the drawing board...maybe today will be the turning point!5
