If you're 5'7, what's your goal weight?

[ifeeldone]

I'm 5'7, weigh 11st 7lb but my goal weight is 9st 5lb. What's yours?

I'm 5' 7 and I'd like to be about 8st 10. Over 9st and my clothes start to get tight as I put it all on my tummy! I don't know what I am now as the scales are broken but I have a feeling it's about 9st 5.

I'm 5'7". My day to day weight is around 8st 10lb.

I'm also training to be a competitive bodybuilder. My competition (stage) weight will be around 8 stones. I'm muscly and definitely not skinny; it's just the low body fat that keeps the weight low

I think this just goes to show how different we all are. I'm 5ft 7 and current overweight. My goal weight is 11st 3. I'm.a size 1 at that and slim. I'm quite athletic/muscular if that makes a difference. I'm thin at 10st7 and if I get into 9st something I look ill. I spent my teens and my early 20s being about 9st 2, not through effort really, but looked very very thin. With muscles on.

Size 12. Not size 1. Obvs.

I'm 5'7.5 and currently 14.5 stone (down from 16 at the beginning of the year)! But first goal is 13.5 when I'll be a size 16, but my dream weight is where I was a few years ago- 10stone and I felt amazing.

I'm almost 5.7. I look best at 10.10 and a size 10. Currently around 12.9 and between a 12 and a 14 (a 13).

My face has got fat and my boobs are huge at the moment. I much prefer being a size ten with smaller boobs.

I’m 5’6 and currently 10st4. My ideal weight is 9st something. I feel “heavy” (for me) at this weight as I am fairly small boobed, so at this weight my tummy is all at the front and almost as big as my boobs! I also have cellulite on my legs and bum at this weight, which I don’t get when I’m a stone lower. I think if I had bigger boobs I’d feel that 10st+ is my ideal weight as I’d be all in proportion, and I think proportion is more important than a random number on the scales.

My lowest ever was 7 and a half stone after an exhausting pregnancy. I was like a skeleton!

I'm at the upper end of 5"7. 172cm to be precise. I am currently 9 stones 8 because I have massively over indulged.

My ideal weight is 9 stone 5. I am in between a size 6/8.

I'm 5ft 7 and currently 17 stone. My first goal is 16 stone
End goal 11.5 stone

This thread is fascinating. @seasonalsparkler I am exactly the same height and weigh 9 st 5 and size 12/14

I’ve not been under 11 stone since I was 22 and I was skinny at 10st 10. I’m a large 5ft 7.5 with GG boobs so at 12.5 stones currently I’m a comfortable size 14 in most clothes. I’d like to be 11.5 stones and see if I can tone up a bit but I doubt I will ever be less than that. Not healthily anyway.

13 stone!

Yes I am confused by weight and dress size combination, but I think it's because I am top heavy and lift weights as part of my fitness routine.

I'm currently 10st 5lbs and a size 12. I was much happier with my weight this time last year, when I was 10st dead. Still a 12 at that weight, but without the flabby tummy and with less on my thighs. I should be back near it within a few months now the mince pie supply has dried up! I have been between 10st and 10.5st for the last 15yrs (I'm 36 now), but was heavier before that.

In my ideal fantasy world, I would be around 9.5st but I doubt I could get to that without a hardcore starvation diet and daily personal trainer and giving up booze . I'm pretty active already and eat fairly healthily.

Really interesting. In my home country, the rule of thumb for calculating the ideal weight for an adult woman is:
Height in cm minus 110 = ideal weight in kg.
So, 174 cm minus 110 = 64 kg.
For years, this seemed totally natural to me, but post DC, let's just say I am closer to the formula for calculating the ideal weight for an adult male; height in cm minus 100 = ideal weight in kg...

This is fascinating, we're all so different! I'm 5'7 and 9 stone 6, my heaviest ever at nearly 40, I've got a right gut on me!
Was 9 stone in my early 20s. Ideal would be 9.2 and more lean. I'm really not slight or slim, quite solid really, I don't have much boob though (well I have a small --handful palmful at this weight, quite novel!) hips around 36 inches, I prefer 34.

I'm 5 7 and 10st 3 (maybe a bit more after the weekend). My aim is 10 which I hovered around pre kids. I'd love to be slightly under 10 (but I love food). Anything under 9st 10 though and I would look skinny.

5 ft 6 was 11st 9 over 4 months got down to 9st 12 makes a massive difference. Was a large 14 now size 10/12 feels amazing

I am 10.2 stone but would love to get down to 9.5 stone!

I'm training a lot, lifting weights and cardio and have muscles, so I know I would lose my curves a bit too much if I got skinnier than that.

Currently pregnant though so not the time to try lose weight, but I will try after 😅

I'm 5"7.5 currently 10.2. In between dress size 8-10. When I was at my fittest I weighed more 10.7 and felt great. At my heaviest I was 11.9 it really crept up on me. I have a toddler and during breastfeeding I went down to 9.4, which is what I was pre children, I lost my bum and was getting a lot of concerned comments. I'd like to get back up to 10.7 as my rings don't fit and I'd like some of my curves back.

I’m 5ft 7 and currently 12.6 - I’d love to wake up and be 10 stone ish. I’d be a size 10 at that weight and that would be amazing. I was always that weight until about 4 years ago when I had to start taking long term steroids for Addison’s disease and asthma. But... I love cake and chocolate too much to actually do anything about it now.

I look best at 9st 2lb

I think if I lost too much more say under 9.5 stone I risk looking gaunt. Friends my age (45) who are very skinny look abit drawn.

I've spent months last year calorie counting and slowly getting to a more comfortable size. I'm also 5' 7".

At 10st 10 I was a large 14 and didn't want to buy any bigger clothes. I'm now somewhere around 9st 4 and a comfortable size 12 which I'm happy with. I now need to focus on exercise again after a bad fall a few years ago.

It's so interesting that there are so many different body types. I'd have to go a lot lower to be a size 10 (which I once did accidentally when I was breast feeding). I think I'd say I looked slim to average at the moment which is fine by me. A size 10 on me looked a little frail and people started to comment. I would also have been very near the low end for my BMI.

I am just under 5'7''. My highest weight ever was 16st 3lb. Lowest weight ever 8st 7lb - it was much too low for my frame and played a role in tipping me into binge eating.
I am currently 10st10, a size 12, and would like to go down to 10st (but I would be happy if I could be sure to remain at my current weight forever).
