CALLING ALL LADIES 5'7 OR 5'8 IN HEIGHT

I am 5'7" and currently 180, down from 220. My goal weight is 150-155, which should put me in a size 10 or so. Although you are inspiring me! Maybe I can still be healthy and weigh under 150!

Hello, I am 5'6 so a little shorter but my goal is 150, right now i would be happy with anything under 200, but I think it really depends on your figure, my cousion is 5'9 and is 140 maybe,. and she is a twig with a butt but no chest. so i think its really what your comfortable with. Until you loose and see I think that setting goals is great, and customizing them when we get there...:bigsmile:

I'm 5 ft. 7.5 inches tall. My starting weight is 153 and my goal weight is 135 I was down to 140 a few months ago, but unfortunately gained most of it back :explode:

Hi ladies! I am 5'7" and my final goal is 140. My heaviest weight ever was 177 and I am currently down to 165. I was about 150-155 throughout high school and part of college. So, my final goal of 140 might be a little harder for me once I get to 150---but I'm going for it!! I don't have it listed as my current goal because I want to get to 150 first and then assess what it will take to get to 140.

For me, I personally think I'll look freaking fabulous at 140!! Hahaha! I'm shooting to get there by June!
I want to be 150 by April Fool's day...and that AIN'T no joke! haha! Okay I'm in a good mood I think...because its almost time to go home. (Thank goodness...the boss is a nutcase today!)

Good luck to you all!!!

I am 5'8 and my goal is 165-170. I am 42. I'm also blessed with muscle and I am very proud of it. The only area that I currently do not like is my core. When I'm at my healthiest, my weight is between 165-170 but I'm a size 10 in pants. I do carry broad shoulders and healthy biceps and triceps. I sometimes wish my arms weren't so big, but they are solid and I am strong.
I think it's important to do what's comfortable and healthy for you, what your frame supports. I too am big boned. One reason why I don't like the BMI is because it does not take into consideration frame and build. If you are healthy: cholesterol, blood pressure, etc., and you are happy with your size and you are exercising, I think that should be the goal. But, that's just me. I too (like OneMission) have been frustrated over the years, but have come to realize it's more important to be healthy rather than rail thin just because "they" say we have to be a certain weight.
Everyone on this site has great stories and are a great inspiration. I hope that any of our input helps in some way!!! :flowerforyou:

I'm 5'8 168.8 and don't know what my goal should be. I know my docs still consider me overweight, but I won't to be comfortable. I would love to be in a single digit size after wearing double digits for 10 years (highest weight was 232). I think I want to give myself a cushion where if I put on 5 pounds I won't stress about the weight. So, to answer your question, I would love to be at 160 (that's my answer for today and if you ask again, it may change):happy:

I am 255 right now and my goal is 175, your weight! When I weigh 175 I can easily wear a size 10 or maybe 12.....and that is good enough for me!

Just curious what the girls my height are aiming for on their weight goals.

I am 35 and current weight 175. My goal weight is 140 right now because I feel I will still look healthy, have some curves and feel good and look good in the clothes I want to wear and in pictures.

I was always used to being 125 and never breaking that until I had my first child and went up to 145 which was still great. After getting married and two more kids – I have skyrocketed up to 183 at my heaviest.

What is your goal weight?

I'm 5'7", 52, and now weigh 147. When I first came to MFP, I never figured it'd really work. (since NONE of my other "diets" had!) I made my first goal 158, but when I started losing and realized that THIS TIME, I JUST MIGHT do it, I dropped my goal down to 148. I'd still like to lose a few more pounds, just to have alittle leeway, since I LOVE food as much as I do. But, all I've managed to do for the last 11 months is yo-yo back and forth with like the same 5 pounds! :laugh: I'm beginning to think that my body just WANTS to stay where it's at, and since I'm so thrilled and amazed still at how I look and feel, I'm VERY ok with it if I DON'T lose anymore weight! :happy:

I'm 5'6" and currently weigh149. I'm 48. My pic was about 10-15 pounds heavier. My original goal was 140, but I'm beginning to think I may have gone as far as a I should. I'm wearing a size 6 jeans which is smaller than I've ever been, and I could probably fit a 4. At my thinnest before this (when I was 16) I was at 150 but wearing a 10/12. It's probably going to depend a lot on your muscle tone. I have really worked hard on toning this time, and everything is pretty lean and tight. If I wasn't as fit, I'd probably be the 10/12. So...... I guess what I'm trying to say is to play it by ear. If 140 is where you think you should be, set that as your goal. But...be prepared to adjust your goals depending on how you look and feel. I'm on the heavy side of the healthy BMI for my height and age, but would probably look anorexic at the bottom of that range. Most people don't believe me when I tell them what I weigh - even at 230 they didn't believe I weighed that much. Remember though, it's just a number. Good luck to you.

i am very simmilar to frogtoe here.
5'6", 148 lbs, 45 yrs old, and i used to weigh 240lbs.
presently, i wear a 10/12.:indifferent:
~~this is the smallest i've ever been since i started puberty!:noway: :noway: :noway:

i think i'd be happy w/ a final goal weight of 130-135.:huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

I am 5'6 and big boned, and have broad shoulders. My goal weight is 160. I am currently at 181, I was just telling my husband today that I can't wait to reach 160, because I felt so good at that weight . He was in the first war with iraq and when he left I was 198 and when he came home I was 155. He didn't reconize me!!!! It was awesome. So that is my goal to get to 160. Good luck to all of you.:drinker: :flowerforyou:

I am 5'8" and would like to weigh 135 in the end. My first goal though is to be at 150. That puts me in a 10 and that is where I was back to before having my 2nd son. 135 is where I was when I was in my early 20's. Somewhere in between there would be good too if that is where my body wanted to stop.

I am 5'6" (close enough?)
I am hoping to get down to at least 150.

I am 5'7" 44 years old and currently stuck for 2 months at 177:grumble: . I am shooting for 160 pounds although I should probably change that to 150. I was 150 for many years and was very comfortable at that weight it is still considered a little high for my height but it felt right to me.

I am 5'8 and I am currently 195, but my goal is 160-165 I would like to be 160 and that was my dr that told me to get down to that!! Numbers can be silly to follow sometimes....I have noticed lately even when i feel better becuase I've been eating better I feel amazing!!! I hope this helps some!!

:sick: Ladies, I'm filled with envy !
I'm only 5'4 and there's no diet or willpower that will ever change that :frown:

Hey, good things come in small packages!

Ha ha ! Thanks frogtoestoo :happy:

(and thanks god for high heels :laugh: )

Go girls go ! You can do it :drinker:
