    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 between 5'8" and 5'9" and started at a whopping 304. I'm at just under 280 right now and am looking to get to 175. It's still "overweight" by BMI standards but I think that's a good weight for me. Now when I get there? That might change!

    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!

    Reached my goal of 164 about a month ago - I've been set to maintenance for the holidays but still slowly losing, currently 161. My legs and arms look good, my face is getting somewhat too lean (I'm 49 and my face looks older when I am lean), but I am still not satisfied with my stomach and waist - I think my eventual goal will be about 150, with as much muscle as I can pack on. A bunch of what I have on my torso is loose skin, but there's still a big old pouch of flab on my lower belly which looks awkward in leggings. Hopefully it will tighten up somewhat in the next year as I continue to lose and lift weights.

    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" I weighed 280, my goal was 160. I got down to 170, so so close but then I stopped logging in and started to gain. I'm up 30 pounds but i'm pretty focused right now!

    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" can I play? I am meant to be a greyhound, not a curve in sight. Which means I wear 150 (my original MFP SW) really UGLY. I belong at 128-130 and am currently 137 and working on it. I envy women my height with a figure, believe me, I just don't have one lol!

    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 :)

    I’m 5ft7.5 and currently weighing at 120lbs which is too thin. But I’m exactly that skinny fat type of person. So I want to build more muscles and gain some weight to get myself looking better

    I'm 5'8 and 155 lbs. Have been tracking and exercising, and losing sloooowly at about 0.5 per week. Planning to add weights and hope to get to 140-145. I think this weight looks best on me but then again I was 20 years younger last time my weight was this low!

    5’8” and currently 147lb, much higher than my normal 125-130lb range. Carrying the extra weight is tough on my joints, makes it harder to run.

    I'm currently 190, down from 220, and looking to get to 165, at which point I'll reassess.

    I am 5'8 1/2", currently down to 156 ish. May 2016 I weighed 210lbs, needed to loose weight for myself mentally & for my health. My goal was simple, loose 1/2-1lb a week. It has worked, lost over 50 lbs but want to loose about 10-15 more lbs. I feel & look better around 140-45lbs. In my early 20's I weighed 120, that is too thin. Always looking for support, get very little at home. I log daily & reciprocate motivation!
