    Hi, I'm between 5'6 and 5'7 and I'm starting at 153 lbs. I joined MFP 10 days ago and I'm really enjoying it. My goal weight is 133 or so and I've lost 2 lbs so far. I'm so glad there's a lot of other ladies in the same height range!

    I am 5'7" and my goal is 135 but i want it to be with lots of muscle tone, i dont want to be too small so if i am 140 that is fine too. I just want to look good in shorts.

    I'm 5'7", at my lowest weight was about 145-150lbs.. and I probably could have leaned out another 5-10lbs. It's definitely not an unrealistic goal. At that weight I was a comfortable size 8 and now that I've gained weight back I look at pics and go omg I was so small then lol!! Now if only I could get back to it lol...

    I am 5' 6 1/2" and am currently at my highest non-pregnancy weight at 147. There is way too much giggling around the middle going on here for me and my clothes are not fitting well. I am normally al size 6. I am comfortable at 138 and my skinny weight is 126 . . . and I was 5" slimmer around both the waist and the hips at that weight. But, that was when I was doing a heavy weight workout plan. I don't want to be that skinny again. I just had a miscarriage at 12 wks, so, that is why I have this extra weight. I'd like to be toned where my 5 year old is not rubbing my belly (because it is protruding) and asking me whether I am having another baby or sucking her thumb and comfortingly giggling my arms because they are "chunky". I don't take it too hard, though. The reality is she has never seen my body like this for too long. I also have a 2 year old son, so, she did see my come back down to my pre-pregnancy weight after he was born.

    So happy to find this thread! I'm 5'7 and I started off at 165 (how crazy is it that so many other 5'7ers were in the 160 range?!) and I want to get to 145ish. I'm stuck at 155lb and it seems like my body doesn't want to let lose and more weight!!! argggg. Add me if you want

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is about 135 fit with muscles, right now I'm 145 but it's flabby. You're goal is realistic, once you get there you'll know if it's a good weight for you, 2 people can be the same height and weight and look totally different. Feel free to add me as a friend, I could use same size support and motivation :)

    Me Me! Im 5'7ish and current weight is 158. Size 8 or 10 depending
    getting married in August
    The lowest I've ever been (as an adult, haha) is 138. - Im aiming for 135 for the wedding... fingers crossed.
    I noticed my body is SUPER happy between 145-155. so I know the road is going to be rough ahead.
    Yikes!

    Oh, this thread made my day girls! I'm 5'7", at 140 but not a healthy 140 at all.. I used to be 118-120, but I wasn't super active back then either, so it's nice to see what a reasonable goal should be to get fit. I was hoping to get back down to 120-125, but I care a lot more about gaining back flexibility and overall toning my body.

    Feel free to add me as a friend, it'd be great encouragement to see how everyone progresses!

    I'm 5'7 and currently around 138. About a year ago I was at a high of 157. I've moved my goals to maintenance and I'll be happy if I can stay in the 130s. I don't think I could maintain anything under 135. I have a pretty muscular build and I've never had a "skinny" look.

    Im 5'7" , My normal weight is 145, and Im thin at that weight. Since having my daughter and being hypothyroid now Im 167 and Im not liking it! I look ok, but I dont settle for "ok". My goal isnt really a number , but around 145 or less if possible! Im working out 5 days a week and set my calories for 1,400. For women who are 5'7" weight can vary from 130- 160, depends on a lot of things.

    I'm 5'7" and my starting weight was 225. I currently maintain a constant weight of 143-145, and at that weight am a size 10. In a perfect world, I'd like to be smaller, but this is a healthy weight I can maintain and I think this is where my body wants me because I've been here for quite a while and it does not appear the scale is going to budge anytime soon. So be it. Good luck to you. :happy:

    i am 5'8 and currently weigh about 140. im comfy there but just trying to be more toned so im sure my weight will go up due to muscle mass and thats OK. sometimes you just gotta concentrate on the bmi and tape measurements and not so much your weight numbers. i wear a size 8-9 i have wider hips and thighs but small waist so they're always sliding down lol. good luck.

    This thread is brilliant! I'm 5'7, started at about 165, now 154 (70 kg). I'm naturally thick and curvy so I'm aiming for 140-145 --don't wanna lose my beyonce booty! I can't imagine ever going down to 130, I don't think it would suit my frame.

    Me!

    My highest weight was 180, I joined MFP around 154, cw 147 (size 8/10 US), gw 125-130 (we shall see)... I have a small frame, so I still have a lot of fat to loose, although I'm happy to be in the healthy range now, I want to be toned, so don't know the actual number.

    Friend me if you like :o)

    Yeah I'm 5'7 and I'm 15 years old (: My current weight is about 10.1 stone and I'm trying to get down to 9 stone something (: So yeah, anything is possible, but I guess it also depends on bone structure and muscles x

    Hi, I'm 5'7ish too and aiming (initially) for 145, currently hovering around 156. I picked 145 as that was a weight I felt good at last time I lost some. I may change that to 135-140, depending how I feel and look. There's an old pair of jeans I really want to get comfortably back into - I'll stop once I'm in those! I've got quite a sturdy lower half so going too low makes me look more pear-shaped than I already am. But in answer to your question, I think you picked a sensible goal.

    I'm about 5'7 and a half to 5'8 and 141 is what I am with very little muscle mass.

    Back when I was in awesome shape, I hovered around 150-155. I also have a bigger frame and sadly not too many curves. So, I'd say 141 is a decent goal depending on your frame, but if you're trying to work out and have a more toned body, you might want to go a little closer to 150. 150 is actually my ultra awesome goal weight.
