Im 5'7, currently 127lb, but now working to inc my muscle so expecting to go up. I try not to weigh myself now, more focused on the inches0

I am 23 and also 5'7'. I am currently 138 and not really on here so much to "lose weight" as to just tighten everything up and get toned. I think that so many women, especially my age, are so concerned with a number instead of being "healthy". For me, my goal weight is 135. I don't worry if i get a little lower, but i do NOT let myself get under 130. I'm not strong at that weight. I am lightheaded, weak, and can't make it through the day without being tired. I don't know what your body type is or what your ideal look is, but I'm not here to get "skinny", I want to be toned. This doesn't mean bodybuilder muscles, but I definately like to have a shape that isn't considered celery!0

Hi, I am 54, 4ft, 11 and 1/2. I weighed 108 lbs when I joined in Feb. My gain has been of course, around the mid section and thighs. I have lost 2 lbs. My goal is back to 100 lbs. I weighed 97 when I married 26 years ago. So guess the few pounds gained for my age is not too bad. A year ago I was 99-101 and would like to get back to that. I am a petite build and wear a size 4 current but would like to get back to a size 2. I am finding that excercising or walking and cutting back on food portion is the right direction for me.0

Hey! I've been looking for a 5'7 post as well, thanks!
My stats:
Original Weight- approx 190, not sure
Current Weight- 157
Goal Weight- 130 ish (I'll see when I get down there)
I make sure to keep my calories under 1500 six days a week, and then no higher than 2000 (basically maintenance) one day a week. That's general though...I tend to flex my calories and will save them up on some days if I know the weekend's going to be high calorie. Never lower than 1200!!
For exercise, I dance (ballet, and contemporary) 3-4 days a week and do Taekwondo once a week. I'm thinking about adding swimming in one day a week as well. When the weather gets a bit warmer (maybe 2-3 weeks from now), I'll also bike to and from work which adds up to about an hour. The calorie burn is SO much easier when I can bike!
Anyone with similar stats, I would LOVE to have a friend request0 -
I'm 5"7 and a half. Currently 180lbs and I want to be 140lbs and healthy0

I am at my goal weight of 135 and I think it works for me. That puts me in a size 2/4 pant/skirt, small shirts, and size 4/6 dress. (I'm on the busty side!)
I started at 182. I have gotten down to 132, but frankly, my body didn't like it and bumped me back up to 135. I fluctuate (in any month) between 132 and 137 and I'm cool with it!0 -
My comment is i'd like to smack ya
huh?
i was joshing with ya..but most of us who are 5'7 are NOT aiming for 125lbs..lol.
125 does seem low.... esp if you are looking at BMI's etc. I am 5ft 7. 8 and will be more than happy with 145!0 -
I'm aiming for 123-125 as my fluctuation area.0

I absolutely agree its all about the frame and build of your body. To be honest I feel as though ethnicity plays a little part in this as well. Allow me to explain.... I’m 5'7 and was 255lbs and now Im 196lbs pre MFP (yay). At first I thought Id shoot for about 160lbs, but finding an inspirational healthy body to aspire to, (Beyonce (HA!) who just happens to be 5'7 and a 'similar build to mine ) Im now looking closer to 140lbs which is still only 8 lbs off from you. So with that said, I think your goals change as you change and find out whats going to be best for you personally. However you choose to go, good luck with your fitness journey and S/O to the 5'7 ladies!!!0

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.
wow, someone's got a stick up their *kitten*!0 -
What's your ideal weight? & what are you doing to lose weight? I'd rather hear things from women that are my same height. I'm 5"7 & I'd like to be 120-125. I'm 148 at the moment, any advice/comments?
I'm 5'7" and I'd like to be your current weight..
On my frame I think i would look like a stick if i reached your goal weight.. but everyone's body is different.0 -
im 5-7 and started at 242 lbs. i'm currently 217lbs but my goal is to get to 170 and see how i feel from there!0

oooh your'e at my goal!! ...some day....:bigsmile:0 -
I'm 5'7" exactly. Started MFP around 143. Now I fluctuate between 129-132-ish. I want the top of my range to be 130.
I think look good at this weight (US size, 4-8, depending on the garment). I'd like to lose more in my lower body, but I'm afraid that my upper body will look too skinny.0 -
Im 5'7" My sw was 160 and my original gw was 140. When I got there I maintained for 3 months and then decided to lose more. I'm currently at 134.6 and my gw is around 125. I'm going to re-think when I get to 130 though0

Hi, I am 5"7 and I ised to weight about 125-127 about a year ago. I have started working since and due to long hours, bad diet, and no exercise, I put on 10 lbs in about half a year.
It has been so difficult to lose weight. I do think though that 125-127 is ideal for our height. I felt much healthier 9and sexier, hehe) back then. It's just taking me something like 2-3 weeks to lose 1.5lbs. It's very discouraging, but I'm trying.
WhatI have been doing: trying to work out 3-4 times a week and trying to stay on track with my calorie intake (1250/day) although most days I'm about 150-200 calories over.
I'd love to hear what you're doing and if anything has worked out for you.0 -
Wow, you look amazing! Whatdo you do to keep in shape?0
-
I'm 5'7, started at 185, currently 160, aim is for 143. I'm very broad so I'll never be much smaller than that.0
-
I'm 5' 6.75" and my goal weight is 135. That's where I felt the happiest and healthiest.0
