5'8" women

I'm 5'8", currently 170 which is 102 lbs down from where I was a year ago. My current goal is 164 which is the top end of normal weight. Then I will take a breather and slowly recomp in hopes of building muscle and tightening loose skin. So my goal weight is actually higher than your starting weight!

The first time I ever dieted was in my 20s. I had gotten up to 160 and lost down to 112. Times were different then - I looked all right, but my motivation was that at 160 I wore a size 14 and hardly any clothes were available in that size! It was too small for the plus sized "women's" department but too large for "misses" which only went up to a 12. Today, not only do most lines of clothing carry 14s, but I could wear a 14 when I weighed 200 lbs thanks to vanity sizing.

In terms of aesthetics, 140 was always a good look on me. That's what I weighed when I got married.

Best of luck with your weight loss!

I'm 5'8", weighing in at 198. I started at 213 lbs. Hoping to eventually get to 140s as well. Short term goal is 190.

5'-8" and at an all time high for me of 186. Goal is to break 160 and reevaluate! I'd love to see motivating progress photos for anyone less than 186!!!

I’m 5’8.5”, I’m 197lb and my goal is 172lb, which is about a uk12 for me.
Iv been down to a size 6 before, I find when I start to get skinny (a 10 for me) I start to get a bit hooked on the feeling and it gets to be a problem.

5'8" and 140 is a good weight for me, too. I am about 155 and am just starting my journey back to fitness and health. Fell off the wagon for a while... but i am back on!

I'm just over 5' 8", now 150 lbs, would like to be 137.

I'm 5ft 7.5 inches! Almost there! And I'd like to be 135.

i'm 5'8 and my goal is 165, higher than most of y'all started. maybe i'm just built differently, but i love the way i look at that weight: a good amount of muscle and still curvy.

130 is my goal, although 135 would be fine too. I gain weight easily in my face so I like to be a bit under what is necessary to slim out my face

I'm 5'8" and my lowest was 4 years ago at 192. I received a lot of compliments and felt better than I had my whole life. When I was in high school, I weighed 175. Currently, my oldest son is a very fit athlete at 5'9* and weighs 175. I think I'll keep my goal to get back to the 190's. I'm not interested in looking like a teenage boy. LOL

I'm 5'8 the lowest I've been is 155, wearing size 7. I was so thin at the time no one believed me when I told them how much I weighed.

I’m 5’7” and currently 188. Highest weight was 198. I want to be about 140. In high school I weighed 118 but I was a dancer and had lean muscle so I didn’t look sickly. I do not want to be my high school self again. I am 35 with two kiddos so I want to be a fit mom with curves and muscle. I think 140 would be a great weight for me. I am strength training 3 days a week and doing cardio 2-3 times a week (except this past week, I’ve been sick).

I know we can all achieve our goals! Let’s do this ladies!

I'm 5' 7.5" and 148 lbs and size six jeans and small/med tops...down from about 160-164 before I started lifting weights and tracking food about seven months ago. Still trying to figure out how much food i really 'should' be eating, I don't want to lose the muscles I'm working so hard to get. And I love food.

I'm 5'8" and 135. I'd actually like to go a bit lower. I'm 50 Tues and I feel menopausal issues are kicking in.

I'm 5'7.5 and currently 187 lbs. Started at 192 lbs. Want to get to 160. I'm naturally very muscular and "a unit" as my Mum says haha so we'll see what I feel like at 160 and evaluate. Don't want to loose my curves and muscles
