Hi i`m 5'7 and 174. At first I thought my target weight should be 120-130. Is that too low or not low enough. The body i want is inbtween curvy and skinny.

What do you think my target weight should be?

I'd say around 130-140, closer to 140 though.

it depends on your ethnicity though, azn tends to weight less than americans on average.

assuming your azn, 110-125 for skinny figure

I think 120-130 ^^
I'm not sure though, you should use a BMI calculator to check what should be a healthy weight for you~

You should go ask a doctor actually. They would be the ones who can provide you more information on that. Since a majority of the posters here are only teenagers, i'm guessing they'll want some unrealistics numbers. i once saw a 5'8 girl wanting to weight 110... that's unhealthy, honestly)

Your target weight is when guys break neck just to look at you walk by.

I am 5´7´´ too, and personally, I found myself in best shape when I was 135... so I picked 130, but 140 would do too, I guess :X
It´s more a matter of being lean and not flabby than a matter of how many pounds you weight.

With your current weight, if you lose to 150, you´ll look really good... go step by step until you reach a shape you feel comfortable with.

You're tall so around 140-150 would be totally fine.
Cause 130 is average for a 5'2 girl so I think that would be skinny for your body.

Just research, fix your lifestyle, and don't push yourself.
If you really want to be sure, ask your doctor about it.

i don't know if other people had this in gym class while in highschool. but when i was in school our teacher taught us how to calculate your body weight for your height.
maybe you should do that. that'll tell you how much you should lose. some people think they should lose weight when they're actually okay. its just maybe you might be overweight for your height.
"Perhaps we haven't become big rockstars because of this. But that doesn't interest us.
We're coming from the underground, we're not mainstream.
We do what we wanna do.
If that's only possible in the underground then we'd like the underground to be our home. It's good like that."

I read somewhere that if you're 5'0", then you should weigh around 100 pounds, and every additional inch added on to that would be 5 pounds extra.

So I'd say a good weight is around 135 pounds. If your frame is smaller (since you're asian), then you could be just a tad lighter.

Seriously. Where is everyone getting these numbers for weight?!?! 130??? @_@

It all comes down to your bones, like what kind of frame you have. Like, are your bones small, medium, or big?

I'm 5'10" asian girl, but I didn't get the small bones like most asian people. I'm more of a medium build, so I usually stay around 145/150 pounds.

120-135 pounds people? Seriously. @_@

I know 5'4" asian girls that weigh around there and are by no means fat.

LoL.

Hmmm

It depends _ how skinny do you want to be?

If you want to be like supermodel skinny then I guess 110-120
But if you want a like nice body shape (toned but curvey and slim) then I would say between 120-130

^ thats really slim, not just average.

im 5'5 and ~120, imo thats average.

i think a good weight would be around 130-140. but as long as youre gaining muscle and losing fat, the numbers dont matter, right?

LOVE out LOUD.
