5"7 ladies?

I'm 5'7 and I am currently 155. My ideal weight is 135-140. I used to be 125 in High School, but looking back I felt I looked too skinny. But, everyone's body type is different. For our height, the average, without being under or over is 118-159lbs. Half of that is 138.5, so that is what I'm shooting for. Good luck girl

I got up to 185 a year ago and lost 40 lbs, but ended up gaining 10 back. But, I'm starting the process all over. When I lost all that weight I was simply exercising (a brisk walk 3.5 mph) for 45 min a day 4 days a week. I was eating under 1500 calories a day and making sure to have a good healthy breakfast in the morning, so my metabolism was ready to go for the day! Drink lots of water!! And don't waste your calories on drinks or foods that aren't going to fill you up. I'd have eggs and a piece of toast in the morning, or a breakfast essential. For lunch I would have a sandwich with lots of meat and pickles, so it would fill me up. Instead of mayo or cheese, I'd use Laughing Cow cheese (there are diff. flavors). I'd have an apple or some kind of fruit for a snack in the afternoon and then for dinner I'd have a nice sensible meal, usually a chicken breast with some vegetables. Use eatbetteramerica.com and skinnytaste.com ...they have awsome recipes that are "healthified" Hope this helps!

My comment is i'd like to smack ya

I'm 5'7 and currently at 151. My goal is in the 130-135 range. It's a weight that looks really healthy on me. In the 120s I look a little bony.

I am 5'7" and started at 252. currently I am 170, with my goal at 152. when i get there i will re-assess. I may not ever get into the 30's because I do work out and have hefty leg muscles from biking. we'll see.

huh?

refer to the rest of the comments here. LOL
i was joshing with ya..but most of us who are 5'7 are NOT aiming for 125lbs..lol.

My goal weight is 145-150. I don't want to be smaller than a size 8. I tend to look sickly if I get smaller than that. Good luck on your journey!

Well I'm a bit younger than most of you & that's where I'm kinda at.. I don't want to be in the 150's when all my friends are 5"7-5"8 and 120-130. I feel huge compared to them.

Ahh..well perhaps you shoud restrict your comments to people in your own age bracket?

Hey I'm actually 5'8", but my goal is 130. I'm currently stuck @ 141. Feel free to add me!

I think it has to do with bone structure, if you have a small frame, 150 is huge for you, but me, at a medium frame, 150 looks great, almost too skinny...I wish you luck in getting where you want to be! But also, don't be concerned about what your friends look like at what weight, you're beautiful just the way you are. If you are going to be happier at a lower weight, that's how you should evaluate your goal!
Good Luck!

I would like to be 135-140. I got down to 146 this summer and looked really good. I would happily take 140:) imo 120 would be way too skinny at 5'7'', esp if you want to have any muscles and not just be skinny. And you'll be happier if you don't compare yourself to your friends. Not everyone looks the same at the same weight.

I'm 5'7 and would love to be 130-135...at 138 now. I stayed between 120 and 125 in college, but I think that would look to thin for me now. Good luck!
