ideal weight

heartledfall Posts: 12 Joined: 2004/01/06	2004/01/11, 07:51 PM Hey all, my name's Courtney and I just signed up recently. I'm 5'8 and weigh around 145. I have a relatively small build, and was just curious if there is a so-called "ideal weight" that I should be aiming for. I'd love to be around 130 or so, and I'm planning on cardio three to five times a week, along with the exercise plan I've signed up for. Is this a good goal weight to be aiming for, or is it too low/high for my build? Thanks for your help!

Depends on body type but also muscle mass. Me, right now I weight almost 160lbs but I'm lean and muscular (and 5'11!). Let the mirror tell not the scale......... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

It all depends on your shape- I'm a "pear"... big booty- but- at the lower weight I could force it in those 3's. You may find that 150 is good for a 6 or 120... Good luck!
