I am a very goal oriented person and I have a problem. My original goal was to weigh 160 which is what I weighed in high school (I looked DAMN good LOL). I have hit that goal and it is so far from what it was. It is clear that I have more fat and less muscle then I did then so I need a new goal. I am 5'7'' with a larger frame. I am thinking somewhere between 145 - 155. Any other girls in that range that I can "check out" and see if that is good or if I might need to lose more!!!

    You don't need a new goal, you likely need a new work out routine. Focus on workouts that will tone your body.

    Not really what you asked for, but maybe some more perspective...

    I'm 5'9" and right now I'm around 172ish. I'd LOVE to weigh 160 now. I'd love even more to be around 155 or a little less but we'll see...

    When I was younger I was already about 5'9" and at 145 I was VERY thin and athletic looking - however I was still in a size 8 pants. I have child bearing hips :) haha

    Good luck! Maybe now your goal should be more focused on just toning and tightening - not actually losing...?

    I am 5'6.5'' and currently 155. I think I should be about 135. Maybe you should be around 140-145?

    Perhaps your goal should include building more muscle. Do you do any strength training and toning? My goal weight is 150 and I'm 5'10 but I am realizing that I will weigh more because now I am focused on toning up. My shape that is forming now is more flattering than when I was just young and thin.

    I have to agree with this. I would get rid of the scale at this point, and just work on finding all the rockin muscle :)

    I am exactly 5'7 and 153lbs. My original goal was 155 but now that I am at 153 and still feel like I need to loose fat and gain more muscle. I already completed Jillian Michael 30 day shred and now I am 5 weeks into Trouble Zones and have loved how they have toned me up. I would like to get to 150 but I am wearing a size 8 now and really don't want to loose my curves...my husband seems to like them! lol! I say if you are happy with how you look and feel then you are very lucky and I hope to be there very soon!

    I should have also said that I was a college athlete and had muscles on muscles. I had cardio trainers and strenght training trainers and was pulling at least three workouts a day. There is NO way I will ever be there again I run 2-3 miles 5 times a week and I am also doing Insanity I do not have much more time with a 16mth old! I do need to tone more but I still have more fat than can be toned!

    According to my Cardiologist the guideline should be 5ft.=100lbs and you add 5lbs per inch over 5ft. Means that if you are 5'7" and according to the cardiologist you should weight 135 lbs.

    I am sure there is always a range according to your kind of frame as you mentioned. Hope it helped ! Good Luck !
