    Back when I was 135 everyone said I was too thin. But I thought I looked fine. Felt GREAT! After having been way up above 150-160 for a while now, I will be perfectly happy to get back down to 140-145. I think my optimal for my height and build is suppose to be about 138.

    I'm also 5'8".

    At 155 lbs, if I'm working out regularly I'm easily a size 6 and it's easy to maintain.

    I'm 5'8 and weigh 135lbs atm but don't feel too great so want to be around 129-130. Maybe that's as i've always been on the thin side? idk but I go more off bodfat % :smile:

    I'm 5'8 and my goal range is 125-135. I'll be comfortable with 140 if my body is more muscle than fat though.

    135, ultimately, but I'm working toward 145 to see how I feel. Hopefully I'll have enough muscle that I'll LOOK like 135. :)

    Don't go by weight. Weight is just a number. Go by how you look and feel. That is what is really going to make you happy. Just because the scale give you a number that you think is good doesn't mean that you will be happy with what you have. What you see and feel is what weight you should be at and that could be any number.

    i'm 5'8 and currently fluxuating between 145 - 150 depending on the day and time of the month. I would ultimately like to get down to a muscular 135-140. That is the goal.

    I want to get to 21-22% body fat, so that would be about 148-150 :) I'm currently between 156-159-ish depending on the day...

    I remember I was 140 in 7th grade and I weighed like 25 lbs more than all my friends:laugh: but I was never "fat"... I just must have a lot of muscle lol. According to my measurements (and using the fat2fitradio.com website), I have 116 lbs lean muscle mass :/ I really want to get my "real" BF% and lean muscle mass measurements at the gym or something just to be sure.

    5'5" and my goal is 170 but also very lean.

    I'm not as concerned with the number on the scale as I have been in the past.

    I know a lean 170 looks as good as a non lean 140.

    Shin splints usually are cause due to overuse of running/jumping movements and a weak anterior tibialis. Walking just on your heals with your balls of your feat will help strengthen them along with squats and deadlifts. I would take it easy on running/jumping movements until then.

    mines 145 and then tone up. I was 135 before and felt too thin. I have a broad frame (shoulders, ribs, hips) and carry my weight well.

    Deadlifts are basically picking weight off the ground. These are very technical lifts so make sure you have someone show you how to do them properly so you don't hurt yourself. Spinning should be fine as long as you do nice fluid pedal strokes when you do it but it won't help build your anterior tibials mucles since you are pushing down with the ball of your foot on the bike pedal.

    i dont know about the US sizes. I think u will keep ur boobs. I still wear E and F cups and i remember when i bought my first sports bra in 2009 it was a G cup and i'd already lost 3 stone lol. Didn't realise they were so big! My mum and bf comment and obviously notice they have shrunk but they haven't disappeared so chances are yours won't either x

    Joining a gym isn't necessary but proper training and knowing what you are doing is necessary so you can progress without hurting yourself. Deadlift is what I am doing in my profile picture.
