any 5'7 girls out there?

I started around 170 and am around 140 now. I'm hoping for 130; we'll see. I want to read this later when it's not so late.

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:

Hi
I am a smidge under 5'7" (167 cm tall I am) and currently 98 kgs (215.6 lbs). I would love to be about 75 kgs (165 lb), which still sounds a lot, but I think that is probably do-able and sustainable at my age. 70kgs (154 lb) would be my absolute best goal! At my lowest I was 63 kgs (138.6 lbs) but that was just too low - I looked too skinny.

In Australia we use Kgs and I think 98 Kgs sounds a lot better than 215 lbs! So going to try & think in pounds as a motivator :-)

PS I am using a online converter to get the weights so hope they are right.

I WAS 5'7, but according to the Dr., I shrunk to 5'6! LOL! I'm at 159 right now, and I want to get to 145. It is a realistic goal! I got down to 138 a few years ago, and still looked "healthy". I plan on working my rear off this go round so I can finally look good in a bathing suit and set a good example for my kids. It's been so hard, but I'm going to get to my goal!

I'm technically 5' 6.75," but close enough. My starting weight two years ago was 160. I got down to 152 before falling off the wagon after Thanksgiving of 2010. I got down to 152 again this fall, and once again fell off the wagon this holiday. I'm 156 right now but can't bring myself to change my ticker again.

My ultimate goal weight is 130. I was that weight at age 15, but I was an inch shorter so...

Either way, 130-135 lbs is definitely a reasonable weight. It's just a matter of staying on the ball.

I'm worried my body naturally wants to stay in the 150s, but I've never managed to become a habitual exerciser which complicates things. I've begun running twice a week with a friend lately. She's keeping me motivated, so fingers crossed this time.

I just started my weight loss journey ... again... hoping to get down to 150, then reassess my goal. i think your goal is doable!!!! good luck and stick with it!

I'm 5'7 when I joined I was 125.7kg (277.1lbs)....I'm now 116.1kg (255.9lbs).......

My first goal is to get to 100kg(220.5lbs).....Once there then I will see how I feel and if I can go lower.....

I just want to feel comfortable and I was when I was last at that weight...........

My initial goal weight was 65kg (145lb), but I switched it to 70kg (154lbs) after consideration and some input from this site http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/body-fat-chart.php

Not sure how accurate it is, but according to the calculations, I would be at a dangerously low body fat percentage at 145lb.

I'm 5'7 and my goal weight is 145 then Ill go from there Im starting at 214 and Ive been on for a while just lost myself around the holidays. Now time to get my self moving again.

yeah!! love this post. i'm 5ft 11"

I am 5'7" (we should all make a club here). I am at my highest non-pregnant weight now, 163. I am not sure what happened in the past 8 months. I have been exercising. But before all this rapid weight gain, I maintained a weight between 135 - 140 for years. I dropped down to 125 - 130 when I was nursing the last one of my 3 kids. I found that weight to feel wonderful on me, but I was simply not able to maintain it. And everyone around me told me I looked terrible that thin. I guess it depends on the individual and how they carry the weight. I'd love to be down in high 120's again, but I doubt that will happen for me. Good luck with you weight loss.

I'm 5'6 1/2" on a good day =P and 156lbs. My SW was around 167lbs and my goal is between 130-140. It's reassuring to see so many of you with similar goals.

Remember, girls, you're all beautiful in many shapes and sizes. Good luck with your journey!

Feel free to add me as a friend!

Hi fellow 5'7'ers!

My CW is 134 and I'd like to get to 120-125. My personal lowest was 118 right before my wedding in June. I lost that weight using MFP but fell off the bandwagon when I got back from my honeymoon. Glad to have found this thread!

I'm 5'7, my goal is 130 and I'm currently at 140. I have a relatively small frame but am also curvy, so 130 doesn't look super skinny on me. 140 is much easier for me to maintain, but I'm getting married in the fall so I'm shooting for 130 for the wedding.

Wow, there are a lot of 5'7"ers out there!

I'm one too. I started MFP last May at 173 and I'm down to 145 now. I feel pretty comfortable at this weight however I am aiming to tone up a bit more and to get to the magic 10 stone mark at 140 which I think would be perfect for me. (I think I'll keep 145 in mind as my upper limit that I'm not allowed to go over in future!)

You guys are great! I'm so glad I found these posts! I'm 5' 7.5". I started this journey last year at 209 lbs. I'm currently at 181 lbs. My goal by the end of this year is 140 - 145 lbs. So that sounds realistic to me after reading all these posts! Yay!
