    5'8" and 115 sounds anorexically skinny....I'm 5'7" and my goal is 125-130.

    I'm 5'7 and I refuse to weigh less than 175lbs because I'll lose my curves. I'm almost there!

    I'm 5'8 and my goal is 120-125...115 would be nice but a tad unhealthy in my mind, it would put me underweight according to BMI calculators. I used an online calculator that said the line between healthy and underweight is 121.

    115 seems very slim for your height. Even for small frame the height and weight charts say 126. I am 5' 8" and I am medium framed and my goal is 150.

    5' 7 1/4"
    gw = 160 (presently 175)

    Dr in fact does not want me to go below t160, however i may try to convince him that 150 would be a good weight.
    He refuses to consider it though until i reach 160 *S*.. 15 pounds from now.

    Wow, my goal weight is 210lbs! You ladies make me feel so big, jk! I am a big girl always have been always will be, but felt my best around 200 when I got preggo with my now-10yr old daughter. I believe i can maintain 210 but would gladly take 200 if my body doesnt fight too hard! Good luck to us all!!!!!

    I'm 5'8 and my ultimate goal is between 140 and 150. I agree that 115 might be kind of scrawny for such a tall frame :/ Have you consulted a doctor about that number?

    5'7" and I'm shooting for 160. I think much below that and I will not look right.

    I am 5'8" and my goal is 160. I am very muscular, though, and if I go lower than that, I start gettin' boney...which is not cute -- on me.

    yeah, i'm 5'10" and look anorexic if i get into the 130's. I would like to be in the 160's or 170's eventually. I want curves and muscle mass.

    Everyone's build is different. I'm 5'7" and 130-135 is my best weight. Got down to 120-125 in college and didn't look right. I get up to about 140 around the holidays and look fine, but not my best.

    I'm 5'7'' and my goal is 165-170. i look bad when i'm any lower than that. interesting to see other people's goals who are the same height.

    5'8" and my goal is 150. I am already a size 8-10 at my current weight. I have also worked on building muscle mass for toning, so I expected to be on the upper middle end of normal for BMI. Forgot to add that I have small bone structure for the most part but still have wide hip bones.

    hey My goal is 170.. I do have a large frame and that would already be a huge step for me but.. YEA... 115 is a little scary for a 5'7"-5'8"er. Especially because your a dancer, probably with a good deal of muscle (that is heavy!), 115 could be dangerously small. I would speak with a doctor before you set that goal. From what women in your age/size group.. 138 is the ideal weight. Medically speaking the range is about 125-164 with a BMI of 19-25.

    I agree!!! All of this talk makes me feel huge!! I am 5'10 and my goal weight is 195. 115 for anybody over 5'5 is too small!!

    The low end of the HEALTHY scale for 5'8" is 121, probably a good Idea to shoot for 125 to have a few lbs wiggle room. So 1 illness doesn't drop you dangerously low.

    I'm 5'7" I just switched my goal from 150 to 145. Ideally I'd like to get to 141, but don't know how big a trade off that will be for the type of lifestyle I'd like to live. I don't want food or dieting to be the focus of my life.

    I want to be strong enough to go camping and boating and hiking and do lots of other fun stuff. So much more fun now that I fall comfortable in the HEALTHY BMI RANGE .

    i am 5'7 and weigh 130lbs my goal is 120lbs but i have been stuck at 130lbs for 4 months and can NOT seem to lose anymore!!

    130 is an awesome weight for 5'7" !!!! Enjoy you life and don't waste time stressing over this trust me it won't make your any happier!
    (BTW 118 is ROCK bottom for your height before you go into the unhealthy zone)

    Have fun and live awesome life!!!!

    NO! please don't feel that way! No judgement in this group! We're all here to get healthy! I simply asked to get different feedback on people that were the same height but had different goals!

    my dance instructor wants me to lose weight...the girls with the good bodies in my class are a few inches shorter than me and around 105-115 lbs. so I thought it would be a good weight to get too...
