I'm about 5'7", medium build. I'd like to say that I'm trying to lose weight because that's the healthy thing to do; however, in reality, I'm realy only doing it to look good. I need to have a "longterm goal" in the back of my mind to keep me focused, so I'm wondering what y'all think an attractive weight for my height would be.

I am 5'7" as well and I used to be 115 but now I weigh 135 and I feel and look so much better. Believe it or not when I ge weighed at my doctors office they think I am much skinnier which is cool. I say the thicker the better because you don't want to look like you have an eating disorder. p.s. you shouldn't care what others think as long as you feel good inside and out!!

Forget the scale. Weight can be misleading. Concentrate more on shape. A more muscular shapely 150 can be much more appealing than a skin and bones 110. Every man is different about what he likes, but I personally appreciate nice feminine curves in the right places. You're on the right track thinking about health, be fit but don't worry about weight 'cuz muscle weighs more than fat. So you can gain muscle weight while cutting down on your body fat- actually gain weight and still have a better body. Get to know your own body type and work what's best for you. Good luck.

An attractive weight depends on how much muscle you have. You don't want to have too little body fat. So it's really hard to say just from knowing your height and build. At a guess, maybe between 120lb and 140lb. HTH : )

From about 115 to 135 depending on your build.

Probably 150 or so would be healthy. Attraction for body type is- proportion. What is important is that you feel good.
