Juuuust curious to get some feedback on what your ultimate goal weights are. I'm 5'8" (maybe a tinch over) and ultimately I'd like to be down a little under 130 but I'd love to know where you'd all like to be!

Also... you can never have too many friends so add me if you'd like some extra support and encouragement! :)

    5'8" and my goal weight is 150.

    Im 5'9 and my UGW is 150. You're goal weight will completely depend on your body type. For example, I know that at 200lbs, I'm a size 10, and at my heaviest of 250lb I was a size 14/16. Going too low would be impractical for me.
  • The smallest I've ever been (in my adult life) was 147lbs at 16 years old. I'm 5'7", but according to my doctor, was considered at an unhealthy weight when I was a size 8.
    My UGW is to be 140-150lbs again by next June.
    (For reference, I have a ridiculous triangle shape. HUGE hips, tiny waist.)

    GW weight 175 lbs! You won't be able to tell me nothing then! :)
  • I'm 5'7'' and my GW is 125 pounds. That being said, I'm trying tone up so I'm going for inches lost more than pounds lost so that number is not set in stone for me. :)

    I'm 5'9" my UGW is 161lbs, my current weight is 186lbs and I started at 211lbs. I'm not sure on my body type but I wear a uk size 14 currently which I think is a US size 12, I'm still wearing same size I started in but I reckon i'm close to size 12 (uk) as I've had to buy a new belt going from a M/L one to a S/M :)
  • I'm 5'9 and my goal weight is 170 or 180 but i have a bigger body mass so it looks right. lol

    I'm not "20 something" but that won't stop me from chiming in :)

    At 5'8" my UGW is 130#. As another poster said it really depends on an individual body shape and how you feel.

    5'7 here, and my UGW is between 116-130, I can't decide, so when I get there I'll have a 14lb range to choose from :)
    Oh, I'm not 20, though, but close, I suppose

    5'7 at 120. But I'm 153.6 now, so more realistically I'm aiming for 130 and will see how I look from there. I only saw myself at 138 two years ago, so one goal at a time!

    Feel free to add me too for motivation and support!

    29 y/o, 5' 7.5", and my ultimate goal weight is around 135-140 lbs. I don't see myself going much below that, because of my body type. I want to be very trim, getting rid of any wobbly bits/cellulite, but also have curves built from muscle. I have a very solid frame, "hourglass with the sand at the bottom" proportions, come from Dutch/Danish stock, and have a fairly mesomorphic body type (I pretty much blink, and I build muscle).

    I'm 5'8" and my first goal is <164 (healthy BMI). Final goal is 150-155 with 17-19% body fat.

    I'm 22 and 5'8 and a half. My goal that I started with when I began this whole thing has been 170(started MFP at 215) but the closer I get to that weight the more I am thinking of maybe 160. But once I get to 170 I am going to focus more on defining since, for me, that weight means that I will no longer be in the overweight section of the BMI chart.

    I'm 5'8" and my goal is 160 but right now I can't even picture that. lol So I will see if I want to lose more when I get there.

    My UGW is ~170lbs at 5'7". The lowest I have been was 155lbs and I had a hard time maintaining that.

    I'm medium built and 5'9. I'd like to make it to 150 (10 more pounds to go)! I looked online at the actresses that are my height (5'9) and the ones I remember are: Heidi Klum is 120 lbs, Katherine Heigl is 145, and Khloe Kardashian is165-170. I think they are all beautiful at these weights. Pretty interesting, don't you think? If you want to look them up for your height, you can go to howmuchdotheyweigh.com. *Caution: don't look at the comments- those people have got to be anorexic women commenting.

    I'm 5'7 but have a large frame so I'm aiming for 160-170. Hell, I'd be happy at 175 lol

    I'm a hair under 5'7" and my ugw is between 118-123. My frame is small so I start to look sloppy at 130

    Hi! I'm 22, 5'7", and currently about 146. I would love to be at 125 but would be satisfied with 135.
