Before I had kids I was 57kg's at 5ft 8.

It depends on your build, but 50 to 55 sounds fine.

Good luck in loosing the weight, I'm a a medication now which one of the side effects seems to be holding on the weight. I walk most days for 45 mins to an hour up steep hills etc and haven't lost anything

I know I'm getting fitter, and my hips are slimmer and they say muscle way's more then fat so I keep telling it's ok.
 
If you're curious, then your body mass index (BMI) gives an indication whether you're at a healthy weight for your height.

There are calculators on the internet (just search for bmi+calculator).
To do it manually, for metric it's your weight in kg divided by your height in metres squared. It's a different calculation for imperial but I couldn't find it.

If the number you get is:
Below 18.5, Underweight.
18.5 – 24.9, Normal.
25.0 – 29.9, Overweight.
30.0 and Above, Obese

A table for imperial can be found here

Yay, I weighted myself the other day and have lost 4 kilos. All the walking has paid off, I hope I can continue to lose more now.

BTW... love the new smilies.
 
Fantastic!!! Just make sure you are both eating properly though, you hear? Or else you will have snowy to deal with

Congrats to the both of you!

Hah, yes you will also have Potty to deal with if you aren't eating properly *shakes fist menacingly*

yeah it is easy to get carried away when you are dieting

The better you eat whilst dieting the easier it is to keep it off afterwards because you should be eating the same when you reach your goal weight
I have lost over 3 and half stone wanna go another half tho yet by september it getting harder now im getting near goal weight
