5'8" to 5'9"

I am 5'8.5". I weigh 149.5. I would love to know other peoples' weights and goal weights that are around my height! Please post. Right now, my goal weight is 130-135.

I am 5'8" and I weigh 142(Down from 150).  My goal is 130. Good Luck!

I'm 5'8 weigh 154.2 ( started at 168 )  Goal of 130lbs

i'm 5'8".  today i'm 128 (down from an all-time high of 168), but that's not good.  the last 14 pounds have come off way too fast, following surgery and complications.

130 would be good for me.

I'm almost 5'9" and weigh about 137 lbs. It doesn't sound like much, but I swear it's all in my gut. I need to get to 130 to look good. I'm aiming for 125.

I'm 26, 5'9 and right now weighing in around 143lbs and my goal is also around 130.  (My highest was 160 about 2 years ago)

People may argue with you that 130 is too low, but I will say that my BMI now at 143 is in the healthy range, but so is 130 and actually, so is 160.  Well I know that at 160, I was not at a healthy weight (for me, bc everybody is different of course) and that even right now, I could be healthier.  Sadly, the guidelines are very... encompassing.  Like everyone&n bsp;else has been saying, a lot depends on your specific body to determine what's the right fit!  (haha no pun intended) 

5'8" 124

goal 122.

ETA:  5'8"  117

goal:  more miles ;)

I'm 5'8". Last I had a physical and weighed in at 130.4 exactly.

my goal weight is 125. I don't feel like it's unreasonable because I swear it's all in my stomach. maybe with those next five pounds it'll disappear. got my fingers crossed! (as well as doing those detestable crunches every night.)

5'9", small frame, 168lbs, goal 165.  I might go down to 160, but I'm concerned I'll lose the hard-earned muscle on my arms before my body will let go of the belly and thigh fat! 

At 145 I have a toothpick upper body and large thighs ( I look closer to a hourglass now than I did then)  

In high school I was 5'8" and 133 and people were concerned for my health.

Having said that, if you did full immersion testing for body fat and found you were somehow miraculous still in a healthy bmi at 5.8 and 125, then you could say that.

sounds like you're confusing bmi and body fat %age.  happens a lot.  bmi is just a height-weight ratio and has absolutely nothing to do with body composition. 

I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 203, was 228 last year! Aiming for 154 of lean muscle. 

Unfortunately put a lot of weight on over past 10 years due to un-diagnosed poly-cystic ovarian syndrome.  Now I know whats wrong and how to treat it I am hoping I can gat my body back!

Lowest was 133 and I looked likea skeleton - all hips and shoulders and nothing much else!

I'm 26, 5'8" and weigh 147.  My goal is 130 give or take a few.  I almost want to try 125 or so but I know that 130 will be thin for me as I have a lot of muscle and only wear a size 4 or 6 max (muscle is compact and weighs more than fat) I can always gain (not hard to do) if I feel too thin! 

No offense to anyone here but this thread has really upset me!  No one's fault but holy heck!  I am just scrapping 5'9" and currently weigh in at 179, down from a high of 295.4 just a short 11 months ago! My goal is to weigh between 160-165 which would put me in a comfortable size 8 (US size).  I am currently in a size 10 (US size) which is the smallest I have been in my adult life.  Maybe being so big for so long has distorted my view of things but at 179 I look pretty good (dare I say hot?? lol or at least that's what I have been told)!  I can't imagine what I will look like at 165 or even 160.  There is no fat left on my upper body to begin with.  I have lost 2 cup sizes in my bra and can fit comfortably into a medium top.  I am very pear shaped and carry the majority of my weight in my hips, butt and thighs. 

I wonder now whether my "goal" is too high?? I can't imagine myself at 150 or 140??  Maybe I should be?

5'9"- 5'9 1/2", used to be a high of 257, now maintaining between 138-145. Probably 140-142ish right now.

Been struggling with an ED these past few years and still trying to get comfy at this seemingly "happy" weight- my body seems to like it, and I feel physically/mentally good at it. Just comes with a whole bunch of acceptance issues I guess, but I've made monumental progress methinks.

For a while I was struggling to maintain an unrealisitically low weight for my frame- whenever I hit about 135, my body would send up red flags and I'd start showing signs of malnourishment (shakes, cold all the time, BINGING, fine hair...the works). I'd start looking like a skeleton, too. When I was 132, my family was seriously concerned even though I wasn't technically underweight.

Now I've recovered from most of the symptoms (regular body temperature, etc) except amennorhea and the binging. Binging I know takes a while and is connected to more than just weight levels...amenorrhea....we're still trying to figure out. May be connected to exercise dependency but...eh...whatever. Working on it all, happily! And seeing success!

Soooo....I guess for the most part my goal is just maintaining right around here (140-142). I'm getting pretty confident/althletically strong/ and my body seems pretty happy with it! Yay! :]

You know what, girl, if you're confident, happy, and healthy go for the weight that you feel good at. Don't give in to what the popular standard is if it doesn't feel right to you. :]

i'm 5'8 and weigh about 150- my goal is 133. rihanna is 133 same height and i think she has the perfect body

I'm 5'9 and currently 150 give or take. The upper part of my body is a small frame but the lower part of my body is a medium frame.  My goal is 145.  136 and under is considered under weight.  I started out at 182.  Now that I'm at the 150 mark I'm trying not to focus on the number.  I'm strength training now so building muscle will add numbers to the scale,  so I'm focusing on inches.  I fit very comfortably in my size 8's again, I even bought shorts in a size 6.  I'd be content staying here and just toning up now.

I'm 5'8 and at 155 down from 169. the lowest i have been is 145 and i was SUPER skinny struting around in Cozumel in a bikini! lol. it all depends on your frame. i have "child bearing" hips :) so 145 on me is pretty perfect, i can't shrink my hips!! lol

I'm 5'8" and 159 today (down from 227.)

My goal is 148 per CC's setting, but to be truthful I'm hoping to get to 140. I honestly can't picture myself lighter than 140; I think it would look too thin on my build. 140 might be too light for me, in which case, I'll stop sooner.

I am 21 and also 5'8.5" tall and today I weighed in at 148.5 lbs although my weight usually varies 1-2 lbs. in a day depending on how much water I have had, whether my hair is wet, etc. (sounds dumb but those 2 lbs. matter to me!).  The most I have ever weighed was probably 167 lbs. and I felt horrible.  This is just for my body type though- I have a very small waist and wide shoulders and hips (typical hourglass but small chested haha).  My whole life I never had any fat at all on my waist until my first year of college...I have lost some of this weight in the past year mostly just due to stress but now that I am at a better weight I am shooting for around 135-140 not totally sure exactly what I should try for.  My main goal is to lose the love handles (HATE THEM) and tone up my thighs so I feel better in shorts.

I am 5' 8" and currently come in at 170lbs.  My goal weight is 150!

Somebody on the first page said, "I'm a sturdy wench, though.  If I weighed 130, I would look like I was at death's door!"  I thought that was funny - sounds just like me!
