  • I'm 5"9 and currently weigh 79.4kg (175) my goal weight is 70kg (154), I haven't been that weight for quite a few years now but I remember I was happy at that weight and didn't have any of the body issues that I have now. I would love to go back to the days where I didn't even think about my size...

    I am 5'9". I am trying really hard not to focus on weight but I think I would like to be 147 and below. I have always been around 150-155 and even then I wanted to be smaller. Plus I have lost some muscle so I think my body can go a little lower. I am curvy so it will take quite a lot of weight loss for those suckers to go away. All I really just want a super tight stomach, tiny waist, and small thigh gap (what I would give!). Sidenote: I am relatively new to MFP and would love some support especially for people who are my body/want to reach similar goals. So feel free to add me is you'd like! Thanks!

    I'm 6'4 and my first goal is to get under 300lbs.. I was 313 three weeks ago and now I am 305. Step 1 is to get to 280.. From there 250.. And then down to 220. 220 is what I weighed when I was an athlete and that size was amazing for me. Wish me luck guys!! It is hard work.

    Oh wow you are an amazon! That's hot. Good luck on your weight loss, I know you can do it!

    I'm 6' and the last time I was at 165, I felt like I could still stand to lose 10-20 pounds. I chose 153 after running a bunch of calculators and picking something in the middle. My wrist measurement is 6.25", which makes me a medium frame or so "they" say.

    I'm 6' looking to get to my goal weight of 180. I beleive I can do it just need tons of support along the way.
    In the end I want to be healthy and yes of course I would be lying if I didn't say it would be really great to have a nice body.

    I am 5'9 with a larger bone structure. My goal weight is between 165-175. I figured once I get to 175 I will decided if I want to go lower or not.

    I don't really know. I'm struggling with losing any weight.
    I'm 6'2" and I have really big feet (women's 14). Is that indicative of a large frame?
    I currently weigh 192 and set a goal of 170. I'm wondering if that is too low. Maybe I should aim for 180 and set my MFP at 1/2 pound a week. I'm currently trying 1 pound per week and I've lost 8 pounds since Jan. 1. I really wanted to have lost 10 pounds by St. Patrick's day. Input?
  • This is a really great question! I searched online for ideal weight calculators but I'm not sure if they're properly equipped for tall women because every weight I got seemed extremely low. I'm 6 feet and a bit and supposedly have a small frame (wrist test which seems stupid to me..) and my ideal weight is supposedly 144-159. If I had this weight I would look anorexic! I think that 160-165 is right for me and I'm currently at 184. Just joined my fitness pal this week so we'll see how it goes ! :smile:

    I'm between 5'9" and 5'10" and I'm aiming to be between 115 and 120 lbs. I'm currently 135, and I have a small frame...I don't care so much about the weight but I want a 24" waist, it's 26" now.

    Hi everyone. I'm 5'9.5" with a large frame. I currently weigh 137. I started MFP at 156 and set 145 as my goal. Now I'm trying to get to 130 after meeting my first goal pretty easily. I actually had a friend of mine who saw me recently and said that he never thought I was over weight or needed to lose any weight - until he saw me at my current lbs. I'm feeling great and I've picked up a running bug. I've kinda stalled at 137, so I'm not sure I can get much lower than this.

    I'm 5'10 and started at 188 and am currently 185. I'm athletic but definitely have extra pudge around my middle. I am looking to lose between 20 and 30 lbs. I think 20 is attainable, but 30 might be unmanageable. I've gotten down to 167 before, but after I stopped Weight Watchers it crept right back on :(

    I'm 6'0 and have small frame, although you can't tell right now :-P. I am currently 244lbs and would like to get back down to 145-ish, which is the weight I have been most of my adult life.

    I'm 6'0" with a medium-large frame, former athlete... so I can hold weight. lol
    I'm gonna try 170 and see how I feel, before trying to go any lower.

    Reading this has been comforting.

    I'm either 189 or 182, as my scale likes to give two electronic reading exactly 5 pounds apart. As far as I know my top weight was around 200 which put me in a size 16 at the time. My lowest was 127 lbs when I was on Atkins and 21. Got a modeling contract from that experience but my friends and family told me I look like crap. Looking back at the pictures they were right. I am no model. Currently I'm a 10 - 12, as my bone structure is a medium, but my muscle mass is large. My goal is 155 - 145.

    I'm 6'2" and my current goal is 170....would love to get 165. I carry all my weight in my stomach (and grossly, my back - stupid apple shape) . I did p90x last year and put on weight, not muscle. I think I took in too few calories and am excited to start mfp, it seems to be helping already.

    I'm 5'11 and currently 168 at 3.5 months post partum - my lowest weight pre-preg was about 150 but I wasn't happy, I'd ideally like to get to 140 eventually :)

    Hey ladies!
    I'm 30yrs old, 5'9" and currently 189. I started with MFP in January at 211 so have just hit the 20lb mark!! (yay!) My first goal is 175, then reevaluate but I'm already thinking closer to 160. I've always had the mindset that anything under that would be "too thin" but maybe that's just because I've never been under that (since I've been an adult) and I just don't know what I would look like at that weight. I've been fooling around with the mybodygallery website and see tons of ladies at 5'9" in the 140s that look totally healthy and not too thin at all, so who knows! I've never been more committed to weightloss/fitness as I am right now, I'm in it for the long haul and who knows, maybe I'll be 150 someday :)

    I don't know what my goal weight is. For some reason, I'd settled on 140. I guess because it's exactly 10 stone. I did get down there, via stress, for a little while in January and liked it. Then, I quit smoking and the pounds started creeping on, even though I started to exercise when I quit smoking. When it got up to 146-148, I decided to try and lose some.

    I don't know why 140, though. It's really kind of stupid.

    I have other goals - to run a 5k and to climb a munro (Scottish mountain > 3000 ft) without too much huffing and puffing. I'd also like to see my waist-to-hip ratio shrink a little, as it's borderline (I'm an apple.)

    I'm seeing more loss on the tape measure than the scale, and I feel stronger when I climb hills. I'm starting to think that maybe I should stop trying to lose weight, but still log my food to see what I'm doing, how things affect my mood and energy, etc.

    Hi.. I'm between 5'9 & 5'10"... currently I'm 156llbs (11stone 2lbs for the UK). I was aiming for 148lbs (10 stone 8lbs) but I'm now thinking about revising this to aim for around 140 (10 stone).
    Guess it will just depend how it goes!
    Any people of the same height who want to friend me... feel free!!
