5"7 ladies?

I'm 5'7" and would love to WEIGH 148--in fact, that's my goal. If you knew where I'm coming from, you'd know why I'm saying that. I agree with the post that mentions body frame. I've always considered myself large, so at 148, I look great. I have weighed as low as 132, but only for about 10 minutes. I had to starvation diet to get there, and just couldn't hold it. BTW, I love being 5'7. I think it's the best height for a woman! Didn't Oprah, on one of her weight loss junkets, weigh 148? She's about 5'7" (I think), and when she's down in that range, she looks great. Don't stress about a number. If you feel great at 140, you're a lot better off than being 20, 30, or 50 pounds heavier.

I'm also 5"7 and weigh 148 lbs. I'd like to weigh 120-130 but i think it depends on your frame /: lol do some research on google on girls with your frame (: That should help.

I'm 5'6"and a half and my gaol is about 135-145 I was around 140 in high school and before having kids even going through boot camp I stayed around 140. I got up to 180 and knew I needed to loose the weight! I'm at 159 right now and can't wait to get into the 140's and then reasess.

I'm 5'7" and 45 years old. I am around 160 pounds now and have a goal of being 145. I've begun perimenopause, so I am not expecting, nor wishing, to be the skinny 125 pound girl I was in my 20s. I LOVE my hips (and so does my husband). However, I desperately want to get rid of the "muffin top". So... if I can drop 15 pounds and fit in my size 8 jeans without the spill over at the waist, I believe I will be very happy. I believe that every stage of life has a different weight... and all of them can be healthy. While I am at my heaviest weight yet, my doctor said she is not concerned by the numbers because I have a larger build. By the way... I am an actress and, therefore, am asked to give my weight on my resume. If I say 160, casting directors imagine a much bigger person. So, I have 150 on my resume. I find it hilarious that people look at me and think I weigh 10 pounds less than I actually do. I am bringing this up because I want to point out how much looks can be deceiving. Be careful when comparing yourself to others AND understand that they may not be telling the truth when they disclose their weight. GOOD LUCK!

I'm 20 years old. I have always weighed 120 lbs, but I am at my heaviest - 130 now. I'm on my way back to a healthier weight. I have lost one pound so far lol. But I have a small frame and I have been feeling very unhealthy lately. I'm getting back into shape for myself. I really don't think the number matters because it's all about how YOU feel when you look in the mirror.

I'm 5'7.5 exactly I've been overweight all my life the smallest I've ever been in the past was 160 & that was after having my daughter (I lost weight due to morning sickness) the heaviest I've been was 190+ I began to lose weight last year I ate under 2,000 calories and worked out for 2hours at the gym, the least I got to was 150 but ended up gaining 10 back now my GW is between 130-140 I mainly want a flat stomach thats what I've struggled with the most. good luck on your gw:)

i am 5'7 and about 123 lbs if you wana look at my pix to get an idea of how you'll look. I am toning atm. The most recent pic i have is the one with the pink bottoms.

I wanted to be 110, but i am getting increasingly thin even at my current weight, so i might not lose anymore.

im 21 5''6.5 i currently weigh 279 i started at 290. my goal weight is about 130-140, i have an hour glass shape but also a bigger frame so i think that would look alright on me. Personally though my goal is actually to be between a size 7-9 and i want to be toned. So my goal is to drop down to about 150 and then for the last 10-20 pounds do weight training so i can tone up and really look and feel healthy.

Your friends might be in the 120's but that doesn't mean you need to be. i completely understand feeling huge around friends who are smaller but what looks good on someone else may not look good on you. its like clothes that top might look amazing on her but put it on some one else and it might look ugly. You need to go for a weight that is HEALTHY and looks good on YOU so if at 135 you look and feel great leave it at that if you could still stand to loose 5 pounds then loose it. GOOD LUCK!

Your concern seems to be more a question of size and appearance than weight so like most people suggested, focus on your target size. You may find that it is not at 125pounds... or that it is, depending on your frame and bone density.

5'7" here

My goal weight is 135-145. I want to be curvy in the right places.

Hey I am 5'7 1/2 and my UGW is 135....but with a lot of Lean Muscle Mass. You should try a BeachBody program. They work miracles if you are willing to work hard every day!

I'm 5,7 and currently weigh 128 pound with still 22% body fat gaa!!! So my new goal now is 119 just so I can say I'm under 120

I'm 5'7" and I think I've always looked my best around 120 - 123. I have a small frame though, and I'd be willing to be 130 pounds if I still had muscle.

Besides, my weight gain gave me ridiculous boobage and frankly it's doing a lot more for me than size 2 jeans ever did.

As most comments state, they were this weight in High School, this is an unrealistic goal, as your body is not the same as when you were a teenager.

I actually look better than when I was in HS. More muscle developed and I'm 10 lbs heavier. I'd just like to get rid of the small belly pocket right around my belly button. To do that, I've got to lose weight and then build more muscle.

My goals are to be a solid size 2, I'm a size 4 now. And to lose 10 lbs.

I'm 5'7" and am aiming for 155. I'm a size 8 at that weight and I look healthy. below that on my frame, I look far too skinny. Moreover, I think it's a weight I can maintain without driving myself crazy.

Same here
