    5'9", currently 133lbs, size 4-6. Hoping to run out my "noob gains" with my lifting program and see where that gets me, and then maybe run a bulk. Definitely not looking to lose any more weight! I started out at over 200 lbs because I gained a whole lot during my pregnancy.

    I'm 5'7" and I don't think I've ever been a size 2. I went straight from a girls size to about a size 5/6 US. I was a string bean then at about age 12 with smaller breasts and almost no hips. Now I'm about 145-150 and down to about a size 12. I doubt I'll ever see less than a size 10. Between my hips which spread from having kids and long arms and legs (32-33" inseam) I don't think I would fit clothes well nor probably really look good in less than a 10.

    I must update. I am no longer a hair under 5'9". They took my height at the doctor's because I wanted an exact number to do my BMI measurements with, lol. I am now a hair over 5'8".

    I shrank. This getting older thing really bites.

    I can't hang out in 5'9" threads anymore, lol.

    Size 2 is still NOT FAT, though. That's crazy talk. :)

    I am 5' 8" and have gone from 320 to my first goal weight of 190 lbs. I have lots of loose skin so don't want to go too low as I would look awful! My new goal is to be about 185lbs. I am older (53) and can't exercise much.

    I'm 5'9 and look great at 165ish. I would be a size 8/10 in pants. I'm currently 215 so I have a while to get there. This all just goes to show how different each of our bodies are.

    Isn't it amazing how different but beautiful everyone is? Pretty cool. :)

    I'm 5'9.5" and looking to get back to 160-155 so I can fit into size 8 again! I'm medium to large size boned, depending on your scale, but I do currently have quite a bit of weight to lose to get back to that size 8. I'm guessing I could probably get to 150, but then I would start gaining muscle which would overtake any other fat loss.

    I'm 5'8" and 140 is my goal. Last summer I got down to 138 and looked great but it was a lot of work. 15 pounds came back, so 140 is a pretty realistic goal. At that weight I am a solid size 6 which is fine. Sometimes a 4--never a 2. I think we are too tall for a size 2 no matter what we weigh!

    Oh my...I am reading this thread and thinking even at my thinnest I've haven't seen single digit sizes since jr high. When I got married I was 5'7 at a 120 and wore a size 12 junior. Thirty plus years later I am at 171 and wear 12 or 14 missy and/or large. My goal is 150lbs...from there I will see how I feel and may go down another 10lbs. But seriously I don't think I will ever see single digits....I just wish they wouldn't put sizes in clothing...it makes me feel fat. sigh

    I'm 5'7 currently at 147 and size 6-8. My goal weight is 115-120 and at that weight I'll be a 2-4. My lowest adult weight was around 110. I don't think that just because you age it is acceptable to conform to a higher weight. That is my personal opinion.

    @criscat what does that mean? What do you term a "higher weight"? Is your personal opinion that everybody of your height should be in the region of your goal? Which is medically underweight, with a BMI of 18 and in the region of needs to seek medical treatment

    I sincerely hope you don't have daughters if I'm reading your post correctly

    I'm closer to 5'10", but my goal weight is 150. Anything less than that with my bone structure (wide rib cage and hip bones) and I think it might look kinda weird, but if it doesn't I might go for 145.

    I'm 5'9 and my goal weight is 120. I'm currently at around 126-124 so I'm close!! But honestly might go below 120. I'm trying to lose this stomach fat and finally its going down!! I started off at 145. im a size 5 but that's because i have a big butt

    "You are (or would be) Underweight
    Being in the underweight category, you are at a higher risk of issues such as infertility, anaemia, osteoporosis, vitamin/ immune system deficiencies, and anorexia/bullemia. I strongly recommend you increase your daily caloric intake, reduce the amount of cardiovascular activity, and focus on weight bearing, strength-building exercises such as weight training. Increase your diet to include lean red meats, dark green leafy vegetables and increasing the amounts of healthy fats, such as olive oil."

    I'm 5'9" and I would like to get down to 155. I'm currently a little over 160. I mostly want to tighten up. I don't think I have even been a size 2.

    Do you mind me asking what size jeans you wear now? My first goal weight is 170 I have never been thin (I am 5'9") always been 200+ since my pre-teens. My mom was my height and 127 and she looked sick. I know it all has to do with build and frame but I have no idea what my frame is..its always been covered in fat..so that is why 170 is my 1st goal weight

    I wear a size 8. When I was 170 I could fit in a 8 but it was really tight. Now size 8 fits me perfectly. I don't think I have a large frame but I do have wide hips and a butt. I can't imagine being 127. Some people like the thinner look but I don't. I like my curves. I also don't like men that are too thin but that is just my preference.

    I agree. Different people look better at different sizes. I think it also depends on how much muscle you have. If you have more muscle you can be a higher weight and fit in a smaller size.

    I'm 5'9" and would love to get down to 140lbs, I'm currently 190lbs. I look OK at 180, I've also seen myself at 160, which was pretty small, but I know I could look and feel much better. Therefore, I'm going for 140 this year.

    @firstsoprano4him I totally get it! I just weighed in at 267 (highest weight was 288) and am a size 20 right now. I have incredibly large bone structure and heavy musculature. (Hello German milk maid, peasant stock!)
    My lowest weight was about 190 to 200 and I was a 12-14. I think if I could get back there I would be pretty happy with that. If I were to try to go under 180 I would be pretty unhealthy. I had to get over numbers a long time ago. The typical weights for my height 5'9 are simply not realistic for me.
