typical weight for 5'8" woman?

Question

So I just stepped on the scale the other day and my weight was 170. I usually have been floating around the 160 mark for the past 2 years, I would like to be between 155-160. I workout 3 times a week and hardly ever eat junk food. So what is the typical weight for a woman that's 5'8-5'9? I know I carry alot of my weight in my hips and now noticing around my stomach.

Answer

Your body and routine sound just like me! It so depends on your build, muscle vs fat, etc. I am most comfortable with my energy levels and clothing fit when I hover between 155-160. I’ve been down to 145 before but it took so much work and constant monitoring of calorie intake. I also looked at pictures from then and felt like I was just a too skinny. I decided I’m comfy a little heavier if it means enjoying more of what I like to eat. To me, anywhere between 150-170 sounds like a normal range for you. But again, depending on your comfort level, build, etc.

Answer

I'm the same high and most of my late teen years I was 170, the smallest I've been about 6 months ago was 150 and I felt healthy. I have gained 10 lbs but I think it's the new bc I'm on. Either way I eat healthy and walk about 20 miles a week so I think I'm okay. 170 did seem a bit heavy for me but I also wasn't working out back then. If you lift and work out a lot remember that muscle is heavier than fat so the scale might be high but that doesn't mean you have a lot of fat on you. Everyone carries fat and muscle differently. Just pay attention to how your body feels and how you look physically. Numbers don't mean too much

Answer

I’m in the military and they have somewhat strict restrictions on weight. So for height of 68inches 5’8 the max weight is 174 I believe.... so anything over that they would start saying your “obese” sooooo that being said I would say anything between 160 and 170 is average weight for that height
