Any 5'7 ladies?

RajwaJ · August 2011

Wow! You ladies have really been working hard. Congrats on all the weight lost and all the goals achieved. :drinker:

I am 5ft 7in (was 5ft 8 but seem to have shrunk lol) and currently weigh 169 (Aug 2011) from 218 (Jan 2011). My goal weight has changed a lot since I started. As the weight has fallen off my goal has actually increased from 145lb to 154lb. I know how my body looks now and I don't think going less than 145lb will be an option for me because of frame and muscle tone.

Everyone is telling me now that I have lost enough and that when I stand sideways I disappear but I still have fat on my tummy, hips and thighs that needs to disappear. So for me and me alone I am going to lose my last stone (14lb) and then reassess.

Good luck everyone. Feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:

WooHoo! Glad to see someone with the exact same goal as me! I'm 5'7" and going to 140 too.

RebeccaLeinen · August 2011

5'7 large frame... I know i'll never be a size 4 or anything but my goal is to get out of the double digit jeans! i'm shooting for 160. that's 40 more lbs to go... i haven't weighed that since jr. high though! I was 180 all through out high school and college, but at least back then it was all muscle!

hanstaff · August 2011

I'm 5'6 and started at 168lbs. Currently 126lbs and don't know whether to maintain or go any lower. I think it can be hard to accurately judge what you look sometimes, so I tend to go off what other people think.

ZannaBeeBee · August 2011

I'm 5'7

Several weeks ago I was 168, now I'm 161.
HW: 168
CW: 161
GW: 140
UGW: 124

I have tried to lose weight before and got down to 140 but then a bunch of stuff happened in my life and I got lazy. Now I'm back on track. I go to college next fall and I want to be 124 then, sooo...44 lb in a year. 7 down, 37 to go!

I'm 5'7 *last I checked, I doubt I've shrunk or grew lol* Started at about 170 (when I made this account) now I am down to 155lbs & 150lbs, been going up and down for the past month *oops* still exercise about 5 o 6 days a week. spend 1.5 - 2hrs at the gym. I'm pretty toned. Size 7 jeans but still feel fat. My 1GW is 140, 2GW 135 and depending on how I feel I may maintain that weight, or go down 128. We shall see!! Oh and I have a medium/semi large body frame! (broad shoulders and wide hips). I do have trouble staying on track, but once I hit that 155lbs again, I get back on it!! I need help on staying motivated!! seriously....

rachellosesitall85 · September 2011

Meeee! My goal is to get down to 145-150 as well. I can get away with being 160-170 without looking too heavy. I'd also like to shrink my upper body which is where I keep most of my weight. I'll give it another 8 months. May shall be my month I pray!

arlo1028 · September 2011

Hey girl... I'm 5' 7 too and am at my final goal of 128. I never intended to get this small but I'm happy where I am although I do catch crap occasionally from some for being 'too small' but I don't fret, I could literally kick their butts w/ my muscles! LOL

there's where I "may" want to be lol.. I know I would get called out for being "too thin" but it's probably because they're not used to seeing me that thin lol. Is that the same with you? haha

Stormy65 · September 2011

My starting weight was 336. Not even my biggest, but got off track, I would love to be 150 ish!!!!!! One day and hard work... I will do this!!!

MrsPike07 · September 2011

I'm 5'7" and currently 179lbs. I started at 200 (not my biggest) and would like to be around 145 but if I hit the 150's or even 160's and am happy there I will stay.

blondeinky · September 2011

I'm currently 155 but my ultimate goal is 135. I'd be happy with 140-145 though!

CrystalS · September 2011

Bumping this so I can read it later. I desperately need some motivation right now! I've been stuck at the same weight since May - UGH!!!!!! :noway:

I'm 5'7" and I'd like to get down to 150. I haven't been that weight in probably 15 years. :ohwell: 12 years of marriage and five babies kind of changed things up for me.

loristroud · September 2011

I am 5'7" with a medium/small frame, long legs short torso build, and my goal is 115lbs. I am currently at 128 right now, and my high weight was 170lbs.

sprinkies · September 2011

i'm 5'7 started at 165.5 now at 124.5

HeatherR930 · September 2011

I'm 5'7! My goal is 140. If I get there & feel I can go a little lower, I will try, but I want to be able to maintain. I was in the 170s for most of high school & college (190s after I got married & had a kid!), but got down to 150 in high school & was in a 10 & medium, which was great, but I would love to be in an 8 ultimately!

Good luck everyone!!

kma2929 · September 2011

I'm going for 130, since I weighed that before.

Mybetterme · September 2011

I want to wear a size 10. I have not ever worn a 10 after puberty. My goal is 148. But if I'm not in size 10 jeans I might go lower. I am currently 157 and still wearing the 12 I was wearing before I lost 7 lbs. All I know is just don't completely stop trying. I have been here since may and as long as I keep trying a little at a time my weight is getting lower. It is long and slow but I am ok with that because I hope I am making lasting change.

goals111 · September 2011

5'7" here; goal is 159. Might consider 150 after that, just for some "wiggle room."

am312 · September 2011

I am 5'7 and my goal is 127 the weight I used to be 5 months ago before coming in the USA, now I am 143 .. and that's hard I cannot see any result, so I have lost my motivation ...

auntiebabs · September 2011

I'm 5' 6 1/2" and currently sitting at 145lbs. It can be done...just takes lots of self-discipline and effort

...but the amount of work it would take for me to maintain that seems out of reach for me right...

I was 141 before I got sick/broken and put on weight.
I gave up when I hit 150 (which was still a healthy weight, but not okay in my mind), then went up to 175

At 160 I switched to lose 1/2 lb a week
My goal was 150 (I needed to be okay with 150.)

Right now I'm freaking out about maintenance...
So I pushed it down to 145...
It's 15 years later and I'm not sure I can maintain 141 and live the life I want. (I don't ALWAYS want to be stressing over food)

I think losing is easier than maintaining because progress encourages you.
MFP is really just a guideline... My plan is from here on out to keep adding calories until I'm at maintain for 141 and see if this will be a livable life for me.

LezleyAnne77 · September 2011

All of you guys are such an inspiration!! I just joined MFP. I am 5'7" and my starting weight is 171lbs. My heaviest was a year ago at 192lbs. Went through a bad break up and lost some and have been able to maintain it. But, I still want to keep losing. I graduated in 2006 at 126lbs. Given I was younger and a lot more toned.. So, I may never see that weight again. But, ultimately, I would love to see 135-140lbs!! I have a lot of work to do.. But, this is a great site to keep me moving. Thanks for everyone's stories!!

SmileyAmy1977 · September 2011

5'7 here...I started at 257...225 now. I don't want to be skinny. I want to be curvy still. I have a goal of 180. And then, I'll take it from there. I don't plan on dieting at that point, but continuing to eat well and work out. If more comes off, great...if not, I'm good.

Good job to all of you!!

6eighteen11 · September 2011

I'm 5'7" and really unhappy about being 190 right now! I was about 120 throughout high school (way too skinny, now that I look at old pictures), filled out to 130 in college before gaining all my weight in the last 2 years. I'd love to get back to my college weight of 130-140. I was a size 6, and I feel a little twinge of sadness every time I walk downstairs and see boxes filled with all my skinny clothes!

My mom went through the same weight change a couple years ago. I remember her being about 190, like I am now, the summer before my senior year, then raiding my closet for something to wear to my graduation party. She's my inspiration, for sure!

missb92 · September 2011

5'7 and im currently hovering at 155... I would love to get between 145-149 but it feels like the last 10lbs will never budge

I dont really know what I should be doing differently..

skullcrushergurl · September 2011

I'm 5'6 and 146 ish... Dont really have a weight goal. I would like to see the difference first! Good luck to all~

Dreamer1311 · September 2011

I am 5'7 current weight 156 and my goal is about 140

IMDABOMBthe0wife0DABEAST · September 2011

I am 5'7 and have a goal of 150, but I am struggling with the 160's currently. I have been told that I should not lose anymore by friends and family members, but I would like to see what I look like at my goal weight. I can say you can do anything if you put your mind too it. I started out at 291 and am now 163. I have gone from a Pants size of 26 to 12 currently. This is smaller than I wore in Junior high.

GB333 · September 2011

I'm 5' 7.5" with a small frame. I'm currently in the low 150's. My goal is 130. I was actually 120 through my young twenties but I look at those photos and feel like I looked too thin, so I'm aiming for 130.
