Hi there...
I'm not exactly new here. I've been using fitness pal on my phone for the last few months and never thought to try it out on my laptop. I had NOOO idea how cool the 'community' was. I'm so happy I found it as I love weight loss forums and blogs and all your stories are so inspirational.
I was wondering if theres anyone on here who's 5"7 (170cm) with a starting weight above 160lbs. If so could you direct/show me to any of your progress pictures. Obviously looking at people around my height gives me a better view of how I could look. Even though I know everyone is built different. It would just be really helpful. :-D

    Hey! I'm 5'7.5 I am around 150 right now- my pictures I have on my profile are all at 150, I'm trying to get to 138- mainly for my belly area- I've had two kids and its really hard to get that area down. I have do a lot of lifting weights as well as cardio to maintain, I joined this site to try and lose the extra weight by watching my calories on top of working out. :)

    Oh wow I just looked at your pics and you look fabulous. I'm exactly like you... Really want to get a flat stomach. I'm at 180lbs now, hoping that when I get to my target it will be relatively flat which I could live with. Thank you for replying :smile:

    Hola!
    I'm 5'7. I topped out at my heaviest at 224. I lost 20 pounds 2 years ago and have just maintained that b/c of my lack of motivation. Since using this tool and working out (a week strong), I have lost 5 pounds and am down to 199. My goal weight is 150/155. In my profile pic, I am at 204. I know I don't look it but that is b/c muscle weighs more than fat and I was an athlete throughout high school. There is a lot of muscle underneath this layer of fat. I will post pics at 180 and then win I reach my goal. Everyone looks different and carries their weight differently.

    5'7 here as well. I topped out at 300 many years ago. I got down to 164, then gained some back. Around 200 right now, and starting back to go back down. My goal is 130-140. I figure once I get closer to 140, I'll see how that looks on me before I go any lower. Everyone is different and everyone holds their weight differently, so it is hard to tell what weight a person should be until you get closer to it. I am larger boned, and large chested, so I gain weight and lose it all over. I'm hour-glass figured as well. Feel free to add me!

    Hello,
    I'm 5'7 and 152... I joined in December, but went out of the country for a couple of weeks and I'm now starting to use the site. My goal weight is 135. My weight is usually around 145-147, so I'm few pounds heavier. I would like to go down to 135 for a few reasons. First I just got engaged and we are planning to get married in December. Also, I'm running my first marathon in May, and although I have been running a a few years and have completed a couple of half-marathons, I think I'll do a better time if I drop a few pounds. Feel free to add me.

    Cheers!

    I'm 5'7 and a 1/2 I think...I always say I am 5"8. I was once 318 lbs....and the lowest I got down too was 148 for a day. I was very comfortable @ 160. I was wearing a size 8-10. Last week when I joined MFP I was 196. My goal is 163. (I would love 155, but I dont know if I can STAY there!) I have some pics on my profile, but I need to add more.

    Hi I'm 5"7. Like you I use my iPhone app (about 95% of the time) and missed out majorly on the 'community'. Iv found a way to access the message boards on my app (go to general questions, click on 'can I really lose weight' then one of the links). Nevertheless, the app doesn't allow you to add any more pics apart from your profile pic, so at some point I will get on to my laptop! My start weight was 172, I have lost 29lbs to date and am currently hovering at 143lbs (this is my weight in my current profile pic). I initially set my goal weight to 125 but I think I may look ill!!! So I have set a mini goal of 133lbs and see how I look and feel. I will add comparison pics of my weight loss journey when I get the chance, so all of you please feel free to add me as a friend - it's great to have motivation from people who are on a similar journey. 

    This might help....someone posted it on here the other day :) You just enter your height and goal weight and it will show you pictures of real women with the same numbers.

    Hello I am also 5'7.. I was 188 pounds 2 and a half years ago ... I am not 148 pound with a goal of 140 ...

    I started with running .... which i never thought i would like but did and sure enough when i got into running I just didnt want to eat rubbish anymore .. so i started eating healthily !. Over the years I have joined a gym - I work our 4-5 times a week .. and also found my love for Jillian Michaels! I make sure I have 2 rest days and my food goal is 1360 .. I eat some of my exercise cals back too .. or all of them if I am hungry.

    Goodluck on your journey ! Add me if you like, i always welcome more friends!

    Hello, I am 5'7" as well and currently at 162.6 pounds. My goal weight would be around 135, if i can ever reach that, i think I would be ok with 145. I havent added many pictures yet because I just started using this like a week or so ago, so far so good though. Add me if you like, thanks.
