    I'm 5'7, my goal is 150 (realistically 160). I started at 175, and am slowly starting to see some results, finally! Also looking for some new friends to motivate each other if anyone wants to add me :)

    I'm 5'8", large frame & my goal is 145 - 155. Much lower than that and I would look sickly. I do want to be more toned though.

    feel free to add me. Am same height, curvy with a bigger build frame. Am looking to go down to 175lb to see how I look as I have no idea what size/weight I will be happy at. I got 2 babes and love food so trying to be realistic with food choices and weight goals. Just wanna be healthier for my girls.

    I'm 5'7 and weigh 140 right now. My goal is probably 135ish but since I'm going to be doing a fitness competition it's 128.

    I'm 5"8. 166lbs but i have been down to 161. unfortunately my inconsistent eating has caused me to gain 5lbs in about 3 weeks!! Because of that I have started back counting calories. 1200 a day!!

    I'm 5'8" (medium frame) & totally understand.
    Toning is my biggest thing, & strength training's helped me lose a lot of inches versus just working out to lose pounds.
    I'm aiming for 170 right now, but once I get there, I may go a little lower.
    Not thinking anything under 150, though.
    I tend to carry weight on the chest & stomach; I lost two cup sizes so far & my stomach's gotten smaller considerably! Still have more to go, but I just wanted to say that you're off to a great start.

    I'm 5' 7 1/2", too. My ultimate goal is a muscular but very trim, fit 135 lbs. My body type is curvy, too, but also mostly mesomorphic (builds muscle easily). I'm more of an "hourglass with the sand at the bottom". With all of the weight I'm carrying right now, I am very pear shaped, but at a smaller size I've tended to be more of an hourglass that just has a bit less in the boob department, and a bit more in the bum.

    If you're one of us "birthing hips" types, I absolutely wouldn't go below 130 lbs, but probably higher. It depends on how lean you want to get. 120 to 162 lbs is the healthy BMI range for 5' 7 1/2", keeping in mind that the top end of that range is more reasonable if your body composition includes above-average muscle mass. A healthy body fat % (which you can have tested fairly accurately, at your weight, via calipers used by an experienced fitness professional) should be between 18-25%. The bottom end of the BMI range is probably more suited for a woman with a "ruler" or "rectangle" figure (genetically just not well-endowed with boobs or bum or hips. Good examples of that type of figure would be Nicole Kidman, Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz, etc).

    Hi everyone, I am 5'8" and 207. Hoping to get down to 135ish. I have a large frame and carry most of my weight in my arms, back, chest, stomach.

    Hiya,

    Yep, I'm 5'7. I started at 150 pounds, am currently 137 pounds, but aiming to get it down to around 127 (I'm 28 and very small-chested ;)). I'm a runner too, and also didn't really know how to work on arms and hips, until somebody recommended me the 30 day shred. I'm doing that everyday now (not planning on stopping after 30 days), and combining it with running. Seems to work for me, feel free to add me if you like :)

    5'7" here, 54 yrs old, size medium
    I've been as high as 165 and as low as 125 but I find that my comfort range is around 135. Easy to maintain. When I feel like getting skinny I can get to 128 but it doesn't last long. With careful eating I can maintain 133 easily but I tend to cheat and sneak up to 138. I'm headed back down now...we'll see how long it lasts.
