any 5'7 girls out there?

Hey, Ladies! I am brand new to this site and this is my very first post (YAY!). I am 5'7ish and right now I am at 187 my goal for now is to get to 150. To be honest, I can't believe I have let myself get to this point but two babies in three years has really caused my weight to get out of control. I have always been between 140-150 until my first pregnancy. I am excited to get started on this journey but apprehensive at the same time! I don't have any friends on this site yet and could really use the support so please feel free to add me.:flowerforyou:

I am 5'7" and started MFP at 175 pounds. I am currently 148 pounds with a goal weight of 145. I am pear shaped and am generally wearing a size 8 US (though some 6s too).

I'm 5'8". When I last lost weight I got down to 140-145 but was having a hard time staying there. I found I did rather well around 155: I looked good and I was able to maintain it for several years. Then I got married, had a child, went back to school, and over time lost all that progress

Now I'm aiming to get back to 150-155.

I'm 5'7 and my goal weight is 155 lbs. I started in the 190s (can't believe I just typed that!). I've been down into the low 130s but I looked like I was on drugs- scary skinny. I inherited my height and build from my dad, who is 6'8" and pushing 300 lbs...so I've reconciled myself to the fact that I'm NEVER gonna be a size 4. Oh, well, I just want to be healthier and more fit, regardless of what the number on the scale says.

yes i'm possibly maybe closer to 5'6 and 3/4, but technically 5'7 ;]

I'm 5'7 and currently around 138. Trying to reach 128ish. Its been a LONG struggle getting these last 10 lbs off! Add me!

5'7" here and I have been fluctuating between 130 and 140. I am right now stuck at 140. I'd like to get to 134, which was my premarital weight. I definitely want to tone up, more than lose weight. So even I am 140, as long as I see more beef on me, I am happy. Also, I am small framed but curvy. So, I do have the option of going down to 130, but I'll stick to 134! )

Oh yeah, by the way my fellow 5'7''ers, feel free to add me as a friend. It is nice to have more friends where you are.

I'm 5'7', my current weight is 155, and my goal weight is 130. I've been down to 130 at this height! You can totally do it!

DANG. I'm 5'7" but did I start out as the biggest here?? I started at 210...I'm currently 164 and my goal is 150 for now because that's nicely inside my healthy weight range. I say 'for now' because since i've been bigger most of my life, it might be a struggle for me to stay in the 150s. I don't want maintenance to be something i'm always stressed about. but i guess i'll see when i get there!

I am 5'7". I started at 252, with an initial goal of 180. I had no concept of what a healthy weight for me was, as I h Ave been very heavy for 20 years. When I got under 200, I changed my goal to 170, but now I can see that it should be much lower, so aiming for 150. I am sure I will change it again. I think your goal is realistic.

Thought it was cool.

I'm 5'7 (just, lol).
My start weight, on July 8th 2011, was 220.5 lb.
My current weight is 201.3 lb (lost 19.2 lb).
My goal weight is 140 lb.
61.3 lb to go!

I am 5' 8'' and my starting weight was 291 pounds. I've lost 11 so far and my goal weight is 145. I have a long way to go, but I'm pretty determined.

*Would love to have more friends to support and have support me, so pleaes add me if you'd like that also!*

Best of luck to all of you!

I started at 158, I'm now at 144.5 at the mo, but would like to be between 135-140. Having said that, I'm a size smaller jean than I was last time I weighed this much, thanks to Jillian Michaels, lol. So quite happy presently being a UK size 10 jean and UK size 12-14 top!
