    A year ago, I was 150 lbs.
    Last September, I was 164 and starting a diet to get back to the 150.
    Last October, Mom died.

    Now, I'm trying to drop the 30 pounds backs to 150 with the option for an extra 5. I know that I'm comfortable and confident at 150, so I'm not worried if I don't drop lower.

    Also, I started using the MFP blog as motivation to stick with it. I used to do Weight Watchers with my favorite emotional eater, but she's up in heaven lying on the grass and eating giant, delicious bon-bons with no calories. I'd be jealous if I didn't totally enjoy the whole living thing... or if I actually believed in any kind of afterlife.

    I'm 5'7 1/2 and my goal is 135. I got down to 132 and now am up to 142... I'm ok with whatever the scale says, but I've definitely put on some extrra lbs that are not muscle, so that's not good!

    I am 5'8" and carry weight from head to toe I am very big busted. Post babies I went on Nutrisystem and lost down to 140. At that weight I was a size 5 and my friends teased me about being a starving Ethiopian. (like in the send help commercials) I looked very good in a bikini at 150. My goal is 145.

    I'm 5'8'' and my goal weight is 110 pounds, but I have a really small frame and look awful at 130.

    I'm 5'7" and I'd like to be between 120-125.

    I started out at 160, and now I'm 133 :)

    I'm 5'7" pre baby I weighed 130 (down from 210) and I thought that was a little thin for my body build. Since I stopped breast feeding I gained about 10 lbs I'd like to lose 5 of those and I'd be happy. I wear a 10-12 pants but I'm really hippy

    Wow! These gals replying are SKINNY!!!! I am 5'7.5" and my goal is between 155 and 160. I have a larger frame with thick thighs so I know I will never be 130 or anywhere near it. Your ideal weight should be what you are comfortable with. Most of the reply's you got make me feel like a cow and would be very discouraging if I really didn't know what is right for MY body. Good luck!

    I'm 5'7 and going for 145.
    I was 180 when I started and am 160 now.
    I have started lifting so I haven't seen much change on the scale, but I am definitely looking more fit.

    I'm 5'7" and set a goal of 140 lb. My 'healthy' BMI high end is 154. I combine hot yoga, running, and riding horses to work all major muscle groups. The yoga is particularly good for targeting arms and overall toning. Plus, you feel awesome! Nothing beats feeling good when it comes to positive feedback from your own body! Good luck.

    I'm looking to get 155 -160 to not look sick and too skinny. The actual BMI for our height has you really skinny in my opinion, so you really got to go for what looks good on you.

    I'm 5' 7 1/2" as well. Very curvy with a tendency to carry weight in my butt and thighs and not in my arms or tummy. The lowest I have been since I lost weight is 150lbs, and that was a size 8. I have lost down to 150 several times over the past few years (I seem to always settle back to around 157) and each time I have been able to keep the weight off longer and longer without much trying. Now I am ready to try for 140. I have never weighed that little at this height - I was 145 in high school - but this time I have much more muscle (Thanks to "the New Rules of Lifting for Women") and I think I should be able to pull it off. However, if you are looking for a nice attainable weight for right now - and you are naturally curvy, I think 155-160 is probably a good goal.
    I should add that I started at 195-ish and also had no idea what I should shoot for, so totally understand.

    5'8", 180lbs, dress size 10-12, thick hips and thighs, big bust, and fairly muscular. Been in the 170-180 range since high school, and while I apparently don't look "fat" (or so my friends tell me), I think my frame could stand to be 150lbs. Below that, and I think I would look sickly. Just joined myfitnesspal, and it's so good to see so many other curvy ladies out there!

    I'm 5'8" and working my way to between 150- 165. I've always looked smaller than what I weighed so I'm aiming to get down to a low BF % with some muscular definition and hopefully that falls within that range.

    I exactly the same height as you, and at the moment I've decided to aim for 147lb, which is 10 1/2 stone. That seemed achievable and nicely within the BMI range for my height. I'm excited to be on the home straight now, and if I decide to change my goal it will probably only be by a few pounds. However once I get to my goal it will be more about the toning and getting down to a UK size 12.

    I'm a 5'8" female, 24 years old. My starting weight was 164.4 and I'm currently lingering around 147. My goal weight is 140, but I'm not basing anything on a scale. I'm judging my goal weight when I feel sexiest naked :)

    I'm 5'7 and as of now my goal is 150. It may change as I get closer to that weight, though.

    I agree.... I think it depends on body type, bone structure, etc. When I was younger (many moons ago) and weighed 135 everyone said I looked over 15 years older than I was, and I was tired. Found my best weight was between 145-150...That is my current goal....Especially if you are "well-endowed" and have hips. Can't do to much about those inherited factors.

    I'm 5"7and my goal weight is 140 - 142. I used the Weight Watchers weight charts to arrive at this number. My preferred weight is 138, but that' s awful hard to get down to! Good luck :-)

    Hi I am 5'8 and currently weigh 145. I am hoping to get to 18% body fat, which should be approximately 138 for me. So, that is my current goal. Since I travel for a living, I do exclusively WO DVDs, Swim, Bike, and Run for my exercises. Good luck and Rock on!!

    I'm 5'7" - 5'8" and now weigh 165 lbs.. I want to be in the 135 - 140 lbs range. I was that weight about 10 yrs ago and I want to do it again... I am still in a size 14 jean, and they are slowly getting looser. I want to be able to wear a size 10 or 12.. I weighed 180 lbs in February and have lost about 13 to 15 lbs.. but the weight is coming off so slowly (at least to me it is).. How long has it taken some of you??
