    I'm 5'-11" and my goal is 175. I have a large frame and don't see much less than that being maintainable.

    I would love to be 180 but I can't seem to get below 200. I didn't even know that women 5'9 and above could weigh so low. Good luck to all.

    Myself as well. I also think it depends on your body type. I've always played sports and my legs have always been bigger, not the skinner type ones. I know I can get down below 200, but definitely not the lower numbers some of these ladies are at. Not that I want to short myself, but I think a reasonable goal for me is 170.

    I'm 5'9.5"

    I started at around 278 pounds. My first goal was to get under 200. When I got there, I thought 175 would be good. When I got there, I thought 165 would be good.

    When I got to 165, I went into maintenance for 4 months, still dropped a little bit, and was maintaining for a few months between 155-157.

    Recently, I've decided I'm still not happy with my belly. The rest of my body looks amazing, especially considering I'm 40 years old, a mother, and have lost over 125 pounds. But that BELLY, argh!

    I'm shooting for 145 now (currently 150.8), but 139 is looking pretty good and possibly doable too. That would put me at exactly half my starting body weight.

    I'm a tad bit obsessive/compulsive, so I would really love to get to 139, but I also have to squash the compulsive tendencies when they come up. So, if I look and feel great at 145, that's where I'll stay.

    Okay, that was really a long, drawn-out answer to a very basic question.
    Opps didnt mean to post that BLANK>
    So Great Job on your Amazing weight loss!
    What are you doing to workouts to tighten that belly?
    I would love to introduce you to a few!

    I do Zumba a couple of times per week at the gym. I have a weighted hula hoop at home, though I'm pretty bad about actually using it. I "try" to use some of the equipment at the gym, but I'm a little intimidated by it. I should also mention, I have a fused lower spine (born that way), and my shoulders dislocate (also born that way), as well as arthritis in my left hip from a skiing accident. I don't use any of those as excuses, and still try to be active, but I DO have limited range of motion and can't do certain exercises because of it. Floor exercises are pretty much out.

    5'8 and 18-20% body fat... whatever number that equates to on the scale, then so be it. I have a feeling it will be in the range of 145-155lbs.

    I'm a smidge over 5'9. My goal is 155, currently 164. Starting weight 218.

    I am 55 years old, broad shouldered, narrow hipped. Probably medium to large frame, though wrist measurements say small frame. I'm really liking how my body looks, right now. However my face is another story. If my face suffers too much at 155 I will probably gain a few pounds on purpose.

    At 55 sometimes you have to choose between your *kitten*, and your face.

    I'm 5'9", and my goal weight is 140lbs, as that was what I was at in college when I was an athlete. That may change as I start to lose - it's more a goal to get to where I look and feel good. :)

    I'm 5'10"-5'11" and I'm aiming for 110 by this time next year. I'm currently 135-ish. (I have smaller goals, like in a month I want to be 130, in about six months I'd like to be 120, and then in a year 110)

    im 5'9 and my goal is 170. that would put me at pre pregnancy weight before my first child. from there ill tone (trying to do it alone the way---but just in case i dont...ill take that time to focus on that part) and then go from there. i cant remember a day i was anything below 175-180 so im not sure how i would look or feel at anything lower. and i was never toned when i was 175 so IDK what that looks like either.

    I am 5'9'' and my goal is somewhere between 150 and 180 pounds. It really will be whatever weight at which I look and feel the best. I have used mybodygallery.com to develop my goal range.

    At 155 pounds I could look similar to this:

    17779-1.jpg

    At 163 pounds something similar to this:

    17537-1.jpg

    At 170 pounds something like this:

    37194-1.jpg

    and at 180 pounds something like this:

    18330-2.jpg

    Oooh, I hope this photos don't end up HUGE.

    Anyway, you should check out mybodygallery.com. It's pretty amazing.

    Hi everyone! I'm 5'10" or 178 cm as I would say. My target weight is 70 kg which is a bit over 154 lbs. I'm built the strong way so if muscular and healthy at that weight, I doubt I'd weigh much less. A personal trainer (body composition measurement only) said my happy weight might be slightly higher even, 72 kg or so. For me it is about feeling strong from the inside, trusting my skeleton and muscles to be able to do some decent work. It is also about being able to dance for hours without dying.

    5'8" goal weight 60kg/132lb

    I've been there before, in youth and more recently, and it's where I'm most comfortable...

    5'9'' and my goal weight is 149 - just so I can hit the 140s :smile:

    I am 5'9 and my goal weight would probably be anywhere from 135-155 - honestly whenever I am comfortable and confident with my body is my goal weight but the ideal healthy weight for me would be somewhere around there.

    5'8, currently 151-153...Happy here as my initial goal was 158 but lowered goal to 145, however I am told I am thin by many and not to lose anymore, just to continue toning, so we shall see:).

    I'm just under 5'7" and my initial goal was 150 lbs. I am around 135 lbs and I'm very happy here. I want to stay maintaining in a 10 lb range (135-145) of here and I'll be happy. I'm now focused on toning and building more muscle.

    I am 5'9" and pretty much at my goal now. Started at 259.1 and am currently hovering around 168-171. Thought I was done at 175, but am still losing. I picked 165 as a goal now, even though I may not reach it. I will be happy to hover around 170. Currently wearing a size 10 in most bottoms, and a medium or some larges on top. Very happy with the my shape now, so not going to complain if I don't lose any more.

    I set my weight goal on here to be 120, but I doubt that is going to happen, it was just a nice, even number to aim for.

    I care more about how I look and how I feel than the number on the scale. I was 140 a couple years ago after a jaw surgery that required my mouth to be wired shut for 8 weeks, bed rest for six of those. I had some complications with the medications and everything, and had lost about 30 pounds over the course of "recovery" and felt miserable. I'd rather weigh more than 140, but feel amazing and strong and energetic than be that weight and feel weak and tired all the time.

    My real goal is to be a size six or four (I have a lot of curves, so I still look/feel skinny but healthy at those sizes) and able to run a 5k and be able to do at least some of those crazy yoga poses where you see pictures and go, "wtf, how is that possible?"
