    I think it's realistic. I remember reading that for someone who is 5'7" your ideal weight would be 140. I read it forever ago, but it stuck with me so it's my goal too.

    Yay! I was also questionning my goal and even though everyone is different, it gives me a very good idea! I'm also 5'7'' and at my heaviest, 2 years ago, I was 175. Currently, I weigh between 151 and 153. My goal is to get under 150 (I know, they're just numbers) and I would like to maintain at around 140-145. Given that I would like to lean out some more. When I boxed, in my younger years, I was 142 and lean, and fit like crazy! At my best. But that was also 10 years + ago ;-)

    I'm 5'7" and weigh 125+/- a few pounds at any given time and not dieting. I am not skinny, just slim. I am small boned, and anything less than 125 is not attractive for me. That said, I pretty much graze all day. I've been tracking my nutrients. I walk 2 miles 3-5 times a week (@ around 4mph). I think I stay slim by not focusing on amounts of food, but rather on healthy food. I make sandwiches with Flatout bread, cheese, turkey, a dash of mayo or mustard and lots of broccoli sprouts on top; very satisfying and filling. So in answer to the question in my opinion depending on your build you could realistically weigh from around 125 and upwards and look terrific. Not everyone is meant to be slim. Healthy is better.

    Hi, I am 5'7" started at 181 lbs in July and today I'm at 149. It's true about the last 10 pounds being the hardest to lose !

    I'm 5'7" 1/2. Sept '10 I weighed in at 195. Got down to 147 and now I'm at 153-154. My goal is 145.

    I'm hoping to make it there in 2 months. I'm not sure my body could go much lower.

    I'm 5'7 too! So glad to see so many friends here~

    My SW was 131, and my CW is 123, and my goal (ideal) is 117.

    Actually, I'm pretty content with my current weight, but I still got my buns and thighs that needs to get ripped. If I work to get them in better shape that I wanted, then the weight shouldn't be such a big deal.
    I know that this number should seem ridicious for most of the people, but at my place, my weight should be average, and I do have a smaller frame. And I wish to see myself in better shape!

    I'm currently at 190 (thanks to the holidays, I gained 10lbs). Right now my goal weight is 165, I have big "girls". :(

    I started about 2 years ago at 252.. I'm more than pleased with my progress. It's been a LONG.. LONG.. road.

    I'm 5'7" and currently weigh 176. I'm in my 40's, but when I was in my 20's before kids I was around 140 and a size 6-8. In my 30's and early 40's I was 150 and a size 8-10. I would like to get down to 145 as I believe this is a sustainable weight for my body type and frame. I'm muscular so tend to weigh more than I look.

    Well, I'm 2 inches taller, but I don't consider it a huge difference!

    I'm 175 as of this morning with an overall goal of: 140-145. Heck, I'd be happy at 150!

    I'm 5'7 too my start weight was 209 :-/ and hope to get down to 135 or 140 either way I just want to be happy with the way I feel and look!!

    I'm 5'7" and my starting weight was also 209. Kinda crazy how we were exactly the same lol. I began MFP October 7th and have lost 14 pounds since then (I am now 195). My goal weight is 170, and if I decided to lose more from that point the lowest I would want to be is 150 I believe, just because thats where I would feel comfortable. :smile:

    I think it depends on your build. I'm 5'6 and a half and I think if you're really small boned that 135 or 140 is doable. However, from my own experience, I did get down to 145 and everyone was trying to feed me. I thought I looked the best I ever had, but I look back now and my face looked sunken in and bones were sticking out. It was not very attractive. So, now I've stared at 210 and my goal weight it 165. 155 would be the lowest fpr me from experience. I would say keep it realistic. Go for 175 and see how you feel. It's your body so only you can really know your ideal weight.

    I'm 5'7"
    I have a long way to go but my goal weight is between 140-150
    I was 168 in high school and had a bit of a tummy... lost 25 lbs when I ran cross country my Junior year.
    I say 140s is reasonable weight for our height. We'll just have to see when we get there =]

    Totally realistic. I started at 182 and am now down to 135. I have dipped as low as 132 but it's difficult to maintain! So I try to stay around 135.

    A tip: See how you feel when you get to your goal weight. Your weight has little to do with your size. Everyone's body shape is different. I wear a size 2/4 in pants (depending on where i get them) and a 6 in shirts/jackets/dresses (sometimes an 8)... but that's the way I'm built. The same weight might mean different sizes to different people.

    Get to 140 and see how you feel! :) Good luck!
