Hello! I am not new to MFP, however, I have started a new journey here with a new account and I am looking for friends that are 5'7 like me!

I am 155 lbs and ultimately have a goal of 135-130 pounds. What are your weight loss goals? Also feel free to share any advice! Thank you :)

    My goal weight is 185. For someone who has been between 260-280 the last few years that would be an accomplishment for me.

    I'm also 5'7" and I started out at 195, down to 185 now. My goal is 145-150 depending on how I feel I guess. Best of luck on your weight loss journey!

    I'm 5'7 too and my goal is around 150. I'm really shooting for a number that gets me into the "healthy" range on the BMI scale. We'll see how I feel when I get close, I've been in the mid 200's for a long time.

    I am not quite 5'7, but 5'6.25. My goal is 150 pounds. According to BMI my max healthy weight is 154.9 pounds. I am currently 175 pounds. My 3rd or 4th time trying to loose weight. It keeps getting worse everytime I restart as I need to loose more than the previous time.

    I am 5"7 ish, I think I am shrinking as I age and my back falls apart! At my lowest weight a few years ago I was 126 and a comfortable size 4. Have gained a few pounds back and currently about 140. My goal is to get back to 130 and try to stay there.

    Good luck to you!

    I'm 5"7 and want to get to 121 lb, because that's the lowest I've been at before, and I loved it. Currently I'm at 124, but those very last pounds are excrutiatingly hard to lose... And once I'm there, I'm determined to stay there.

    5"7' - starting weight 150 - current almost 140 (YAAAAAY ME!). I 'think' I would like to get to around 130ish? It just depends on how my body looks as I lose some more excess fat. I won't know till I get there! :)

    Yoohoo!

    I'm also 5'7''!
    I always thought it was a rare height around here for girls...

    My goal is 114 lbs. I started out at 132lb and looked like a whale (it's my bone structure, any extra weight looks ridiculous on me).

    I've been maintaining since February, hovering between 110 lbs. and 117 lbs.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I am 5'7 and 148 lbs. My goal is 125-130. That was my range before two babies (worth every pound!!). I need a mini tummy tuck to remove excess skin around my belly button so my deal to myself is "get to 130 and you can schedule a consult". Unfortunately when the weight comes off my belly looks horrible right at my belly button:( Let's get motivated!

    So happy to find some other 5'7s!!! Finally moved under the 150 mark, thinking I wanna be in the low 140s. But with my pear shape, I might need to get into the 130s to get my booty under control. lol

    I'm 5'7'' and looking to get to 124 by 9/17, which is my wedding! I'm currently at 129, but we all know the last few lbs are the hardest!

    I am in the same boat! At the beginning of this year I was in the low 40's (142) and I was very satisfied though I still wanted to be around 135 to allow myself some wiggle room. I have a big rear as well and all my weight seems to go straight to my butt!

    I'm 5'7 and 132 pounds. My goal is to be 125 pounds. I'm super squishy right now so I want to lose the fat and gain muscle.

    I am 5'7 and my goal is 150! I am hoping to continue with further weight loss, but will be happy with 150. I have a rather large frame, and when I was younger and was 5'7, 130 I honestly looked very sick, so 150 it is!

    5'7 here! My goal is for 135. I'm at 170 right now (yikes... I never realized) so here we go again! Feel free to friend me and send me intimidating yet motivational messages. :)

    5'7" Here as well. Robes, same spot as you. Stepped on the scale and it said 180 and I about fainted. Just started MFP again a couple of weeks ago and I'm down to 172. My goal is 130-135. I would love to be this weight again and I will make it happen.

    Feel free to add me!
