5'7"/5'8" women - goal weight?

I'm 5'7 my highest weight was 225 after having my child. Current weight is 208. I'd like to get down to the 140's. I'm not following any diet plan, or program. Just wanting to lose slow and steady. I've had an eating disorder in my past, and it lead to health issues. I don't want to fall back on bad choices.

Lots of good luck!

My start weight is 202 and I'd like to get down to 155ish. I have a bigger frame and I'm also muscular and there is no way I could get below the 150 range, nor would I want to.

I was told 125 and I am a short 5'7 meaning with age, I am really about 5'6 now. I don't remember being 125 so who knows. Will see when I drop. My smallest clothes are 14s or 34 waist so that might be a hint.

5’8” aiming for 135-145. I always felt my best in the 130s (any lower and I get sick, above 145, I start to feel the extra weight).

Ditto for me. I was 5'8 before I started shrinking (now 5'7) but my weight trends are the same. I've ditched 14 pounds over the past six weeks, now at 144 with 9 lbs left to go. I feel a TON better at this weight but feel best at 135. Don't aim to go lower.

Hello! I'm 5'8 and currently I'm at 160. I've been steadily loosing weight for the past few weeks, I was at 168. So hopefully it keeps going that way. My forever goal has been 135. The closest I've gotten in the past 5 yrs is 144 and I let it go again. Bopefully this time I will manage to get all the way there and stay there. I'm working out everyday using the female fitness app. And I'm trying different variants of fasting. It helps me to feel challeneged. Still, I eat very healthy and I try to reach the target calories on the hoirs that I am allowed to eat, so don't worry I'm not starving myself. Tbh honest I've never felt more in control of my appetite. Anyway, If anyone feels like adding me so we can help each other keep motivated that would be awesome. I like posting pictures of my meals, my diary is public, I have a bunch of recipes and from time to time I post motivational quotes and stuff like that.

I started at 163 Jan5 and am down to 141. This is about the lowest I have ever weighed- I never weighed myself growing up. I thought 140 would feel thin, but am going to keep going down. New goal 134! I am 5’6’

I am 5'7, I have always carried my weight well, I am broad shouldered, ( swimming) my highest was 182. Not one person noticed my weight gain. Most all of it in my stomach area, other than my face getting chubby, as I said I carry it somewhat well since I am a robust kind of woman. I can lose or gain 15 pounds maybe 20 without a noticeable difference outwardly I went down to 148, my goal was 150/ 155 and I actually didn't like it. I like myself a little more fleshy. I am quite fit, I do some exercises and stuff. Not sure where I want to go. I am in my early 50's so I absolutely do not want to look gaunt. In my 20's I was 120/ 125. in my 30's like 132 to 138, 40's 140 to 150

5’8” and 137 is perfect, currently maintaining at 150ish. Anything over 160 and I definitely notice a difference in fitness and speed. I went down to 112 when I was in college and anything under 125 is definitely too thin - used to get anemic, frequent colds.

I’m 5’8”. Currently 150 to 153. Working to get back to 143 to 148.

I’m 5”8 and I’m going for 170 from 240. Good luck!

Hey there. Are you guys still checking in? I'm 5'7 and just hit my highest weight, 180... 😳

I definitely feel the weight in my back and hips. My lowest was 145, but I'm hoping to get down to 130 - 140 by next year.

Should we do a weekly weigh in?

I know I should ignore it but, like, I often wish there was no "Disagree" button. Or at least if MFP required the person to post specifically what they're disagreeing with.

Most of the usage in this thread seems, at best, inconsistent.

Anywhooo-o-o, ladies, let us carry on whatever our personal goals and healthy weight ranges may be.
