Calling all 5'9" ladies!! (:

24Gummies

I'm 5'9 and started out at 260. down 7 pounds so far. My goal is 160ish. I have weighed 140 in high school but that was really hard to maintain for me. I'm big boned so I think 160-170 will work for me.

Hi! I'm 5'9" sw 255 cw 169 gw 165 pants size was 24 (us) now 11- tops were 2xl now medium

I'm happy with my current size and weight looking to tone everything up. Advice I would give is don't give up! We have all had UPS and downs I wasn't perfect every week but I kept trying! Its not a race we all lose at different speeds. Be honest with yourself and love yourself! Don't consume more calories than u burn in the day and drink lots of water! :-)

Hello fellow tall ladies!

Isn't it lovely to see so many of us tall girls on here! I am 5'9" and hearing so many familiar stories! Like many of you I am (or like to think I am) quite athletic and enjoy running, zumba and being generally fit and healthy.

My weight fluctuates, so I will just report on recent weight loss! My heaviest was 166lbs (11stone 9lbs) this morning I weighed 161lbs (11stone 5lb), I have just had an extremely bad weekend because last week I was 156 (11stone 2lb).

I aim to get to 150lb about (10stone 7lb), so wish me luck!

Happy Monday!
Sam :laugh:

Im 5"10 and currently 76kg (167lbs) and want to get to 65kg (143lbs)
Feel free to add me if in a similar situation! Was struggling with 1200 calories for a while so have upped to 1500 (calculated using one of many links to websites floating around - I tried a few and they ranged from 1400-1600 so I took the middle one) and am planning to eat half my exercise calories back (to combat how much mfp overestimates)

I am 26, just shy of 5'10" so I tell everyone I am 5'10".

I started January 9th at 194.2
As of today I am 175
My goal weight is 150

I was 175 in 2009, lost 25 lbs, gained it back and then some since then. I am ready to loose it for good!
If I am working out/running, I look great at 150 because I have alot of muscle. I don't care exactly what the scale says, just more about how I feel in my own skin and clothes.

cowgirlslikeus86

P.S.
At 150
I wear a size 8 in pants (Sometimes 6)
9 or 11 in Jr. Pants ( I don't really buy much of)
Medium tops
and small or 4/6 dresses if they are not tight on my butt and sleeveless

I'm 5'8 almost 5'9..lol.


My stats:


Highest weight. 195 (right before giving birth to my second child)
Starting weight: 185
Current weight: 175
First goal is 145....then I plan on taking a long time to get to 135 but be very fit and toned.


Starting size 14....current size is 12, and I want to be a loose size 6.

A_Fit_Mom

I am 5' 8.5"; current stats are:
SW: 257
GW: 165
CW: 235

I think we can compare all day long, but ultimately, height doesn't tell the whole story, only part of it. For example, a girl on this thread is my height, 156 and a size 6. I have been 138 (in high school) and I was a size 9 at that weight. There's no way I would ever see a 6 as an adult!! I'm okay with that I'm aiming to be in my healthy weight range and then, I'll think about toning up.

So true, I was a size 6 at low 140's. When I was 155 I was about a size 8 (snug). All depends in body shape.

I'm 5'9'', and I started at 225. Right now I'm 139, but I'm shooting for 135. That being said. I'm completely fine where I am now. I just want some wiggle room.

angiek941

Oh and I'm wearing mostly 6s, some 8s, some 4s. Clothes sizes are CRAZY!

dargytaylor

i notice the other 5'9" ladies on here want to be below 170 .. i cant see myself smaller than like a size 9 which i would be at around 185 ish. I was 270 lbs at my biggest now 225 ish size 14. i like a womanly shape and i dont want to be thin just healthy. set goals and phases and when you get there you'll know it !

That depends on body shape, I'm sure- my smallest weight of 156 was a size 10 (and a few select 8s). When I was 185, that was more of size 14-16 (I'm 249 now and a size 20)

I currently weigh appx 154 and can still wear a size 12 comfortably.......10 with a bit of a muffin top

Definatley depends on the person.

I am 5'8"ish.....if I stand tall closer to 5'9"

I have alot of body fat to loose, and would be ectastic to weigh 145 and be in a size 8. My FAT is in the middle, stomach, hips and butt...........

All4Tris

I'm 5'9" I weighed 164.5 as of last week and I'm trying to get down to 155ish! I started at 199 and have been maintaining between 166-168 for the past 2 years! I wear a size 8.

freckledface

I am 5'9" and started at about 175 after having 2 kids.
My absolute goal is maybe 135 lbs. I don't want to be any thinner than that.
When I was 125 I was WAY too skinny.
Right now I am about 153 and my next goal is to get to 145. I will have to reevaluate when I get to that point and see how I look and feel to determine if I should keep losing.

Im_NotPerfect

I'm 5'9"....and a goal weight is very tough for me to determine. When I got married I was at 159...the skinniest I had ever been as an adult. And people told me I looked TOO skinny...plus the fact that I really don't think I could easily maintain that. I have a bigger build (medium frame but fairly muscular), so I can't go too small without losing muscle.

So my goal weight is 175. For me, it's fairly easily maintainable (with a little bit of work) and I don't look emanciated!

I'm 5'10 and my GW is around 180 or 175. My starting weight is 260 and my current weight is 256 (only been on here 6 days - haha). All the women in my family are naturally curvy, so I don't think I'll be able to be stick thin. Nor do I want to!

Hi there! I'm 5'9". Started out at 221 pounds and currently fluctuate between 137-142. I had set my goal weight a little higher than that but when I got there adjusted it to 145 and hit a little below that. I've been maintaining this weight for several months now. Depending on the brand I wear anything from a size 4 (one pair of CAbi jeans that I LOVE mostly because I can say they are a 4!) to as 8 in pants and mostly medium tops. Before my weight loss I was wearing 16 & 18 pants and XL & XXL tops.

I've joined a group of people at a local facility where we meet once a month to weigh in and get body comp measurements. I had relied on cardio (running) for the majority of my weightloss but now I need to add strength in to help turn my fat into muscle per the trainer. She really advised to not be so reliant on the scale but rather how your clothes fit so that is my current approach. She is several inches shorter than I am but weighs about the same as I do.

Good luck to you in your journey!

I'm 5'10" and started out at 193, I am currently at 175, I would like to be at 145-150. I am losing my weight slow and steady, so hopefully I'll get there by fall. I started my journey on 10/12/12.

5'9" girl here. My highest weight was somewhere in the 320's, and I started my lifestyle-change at 314. My short term goal weight is 220, just because that was the thinnest I can remember being in high school. (I'm currently around 240.) Ultimately I want get below 200, and just see what's comfortable for me as I slide down the scale. I can't imagine going below 170, though.

I can't imagine being below 170 either!! The smallest number I remember is 220. I started my journey in October 2011, weighing in at 300lb. That unfortunately wasn't my highest, I remember seeing 325 on the scale last year. But I'm ready to be healthy and active so I can enjoy life with my 17 month old son! I'm currently around 248. Weigh in for the week is tonight! If I have a bad day, I just pick up the next day and move on. I'm on a lifestyle change for the better. I hate when people say I'm on a diet! Lol. Because I'm totally not. The only thing I eliminated completely is soda. Who needs that anyway? Lol

Agreed! I'm 5'9: and at my lightest (159 lbs) I was a comfortable size 10, with 1 pair of size 8 shorts in my drawer. I'm pretty hippy and have a bit of a butt, so I know I won't ever get into super small sizes and honestly don't want to. I can't maintain it comfortably.

I am going to jump in here as I'm 5'10"...

SW: 181 lbs
CW: 171 lbs
GW: 140 lbs

I had hovered between 140 and 150 all my adult life until I had kids, then I let my weight creep up with each pregnancy (not losing all the weight before becoming pregnant again). I know I feel best when I'm around 140. I have a medium build and I carry most of my extra weight in my belly so my figure just looks "off" when my weight is up. Some ladies carry it beautifully...I don't! My lowest adult weight was 133 but that was too low for me, it was in college and I was flirting with an eating disorder and lost my period at that weight. So I think 140 is good.

MamaKeeks

I am 6'1 (yes - HUGE!) and my starting weight was 210lbs. i am currently 200lbs. When I get down to 175 lbs I will pee my pants with glee! :bigsmile:

msamcoates

Leanne926

I'm 5'9 and I weigh 165 ... would love to get down between 140 and 150!

I am also 5'9, currently at 167 and can't wait to see 140! Actually 150 would be great too!

mjshorty5

So I wanted to know what your goal weight is? Maybe give your current and goal weight. And how your planning on reaching your goal or how you reached it. Along with advice for other people, or motivational things to keep going.

5'9 I weigh 201 and would like to weight idealistically 155 but realistically shooting for 165 right now

sweetyjessy1
