Hello all... I'm 5'7'' and currently weigh 132 lbs (started at 157). I am wondering what everyone's goal weight is for this height!? Trying to figure out what I want to look like haha... and thought it would help if I knew what YOU want to look like :P

    I'm 5'8" and right now weigh 146. My goal is 140, then we'll see. I'm not as hung up on the scale as I used to be - I'm fitting into size 28 jeans and size 6 clothes currently as I've been doing Insanity and other muscle building cardio sessions so I think I'm building muscle and toning more... My lowest weight was 137 (coming from 227 in 2004) but it was too hard to maintain for me, I literally could only eat fruits & veggies to maintain it. My body likes to be around 140 - 145 and it's a healthy range, I feel fit & feel good.
    What makes YOU happy is where your goal should be. 132 at 5'7" is GREAT, I bet you're smokin' :)

    ETA: I have had 2 pregnancies since 2004; my youngest is 1.5 so I'm still toning and "repairing" my body from that!!

    My goal weight is 135-140 (whichever is healthier, I'll decide as I lose)
    I'm currently a size 5 US, and am aiming for a size 3.

    Started this journey as a size 16.

    I weigh 149 now.

    I'm about 5'6, and my goal is 133...thin, toned. I'm about a 4-6 at that weight. I started at 153 and am only down three lbs....happier with how I look already tho!

    It all depends on your bone structure and if you're going for lean and toned, or just want to lose the weight.

    I'm 5'7'' and 114 lbs (I reached my goal last year). Very small frame, I look pretty chunky if I get over 125 lbs. I want to look lean and toned :)

    I'm 5'7" and was 142 when I got preggers with my second daughter. I want to get back to that, as I was in a size 5 comfortably. I'm mostly legs so thankfully, my weight has places to spread! Nobody would ever guess I'm 176 right now(started out at 184). I pray that I can make it down to 145 atleast! Wishing you luck! :)

    My goal right now is 150, I've never been that low since grade 9 probably. I've got 23 pounds to go and hopefully when I get there I will revamp my goals :)

    I'm 5'7, medium muscular build and top hourglass shape. My goal is to be 25-28% body fat. I don't know what weight that will be because I've never been skinny. My initial goal is 200 then 180 then 160. I would like to be a comfortable size 8.

    I'm 5'7". I'm currently 152 (I think... 69kilos, anyway). bmi 23.8.

    When I am excercising regularly and toned (except for a bit of cellulite on my bum, but I'm happy for that to stay there), I usually weigh 57kilos. So what is that... 125 pounds. bmi 19.7

    I have a really out of proportion body. I think my boobs started growing when I was 10 and stopped when I was 11, haha. The top half of my body is tiny relative to my bottom half. Giant muscly calves and thighs and huge bum.

    Comparing to other people is super difficult for that reason, and it's really hard to know what you will look like!! I was always 60kg growing up, and active but not extremely. I had saddlebags that I thought were an inevitable part of the deal. Once I started toning up I learned that the saddlebags could actually go away. I also learned that my legs truly just are big, and so is my bum, hahahah. That is one great thing about getting down to a low body fat % - you learn the range of your frame, and you learn the areas where fat gathers first!

    120. Maybe it's just my age, but the BMI says it's fine. Maybe 118/115.

    I am aiming for 20% BF, not sure what the weight will be.

    In December, I was measured at 22.5% per the BodPod (140 lbs) - I'm going back at the end of March to see my progress, not sure of my current weight - I haven't been on the scale for almost a month, I'll weigh in on Feb. 6th.

    I'm 5'7" and currently 180. Ultimately I'd like to be 140-150 or somewhere in a size 6-8. I've got a ways to go still though.

    I'm 5'7" and I'd like to be 133 (at 233 now). I think it's do-able. I've lost 30 lbs in the last few years and can lose when I really focus.

    I'm 5'5" and 136, I was 131 a few months ago and I looked too "sunken" when I hadn't been weight training as much (my dance instructor told me she thought i was getting too thin for my build & says I look better now that I've filled out a bit). I have lost over 100lbs the last 3 years the proper way, I'm a size 6ish, most people say I look about 120lbs if they had to guess, so don't worry too much about the actual number.

    HI, I'm 5'7 and I currently weigh 137 and I would like to be 125. Don't know if I'm going to look sickly but I wanna give it a go, just to test it out. And if I don't look sickly at all then I wanna try 120 and thats the furthest I would go down to :D

    I'm 5'7" and my goal is 130. I can't even remember the last time I was that weight so I'm hoping I can get there. The lowest I was last summer was 137. I am now 142 so hopefully I will get there before bathing suit season!!!!

    I am just under 5'8 and my goal weight is about 140lbs... with my build and body shape, I think that would be a good weight for me, but I won't know til I get there!

    I'm 5'7" and am between medium and small frame. I'm at my goal weight at 133. Now I just need to strength train to get rid of the flab. A couple years ago, when I was really stressed and unhappy, I got down to 125, and that was just horribly skinny. I looked very unwell. I'm happy with this weight - just not happy with the flab.

    I'm 5'7 currently 176 and my goal is 150. My lowest that I can recall is 164. So i have no idea how 150 is going to look on me. If I still feel like I need to lose some I will go to 140 anything below that might make me look sickly. It all depends when I get there. I want to be 150 by June :)

    I'm 5'6" and my ultimate goal is 125. Currently 178 and in 16 pants; back in the day ~140 got me solidly in size 10s. If I so much as look at a baked good, I have thighs the size of Rhode Island.

    Have you seen http://www.mybodygallery.com/ ? It's basically a visual version of this thread. It's how I decided that 125 would be the right target for someone as pear-shaped as myself to get the body I really want.

    Edited to add: I actually don't care about the scale number. I will consider it done when I have 38-inch hips, which would be a loss of 6.5" at this point.

    i currently weigh 216, started at 225 ( jan 16,2012) I can't remember what it is like to be below 180ish. i think the smallest i have ever been was in 8th grade and like 160lbs. I THINK i want to be a size 6... maybe 140-130. but very toned. i am pear shaped so i don't want to lose too much weight in my face and upper body to be able to fit into the smaller size and look like a skeleton face either so i guess ill just have to wait and see!
