5'9 Ladies whats your goal weight?

Melthrash

I was 173. I'm 154 now and 140-145 is my goal :-)

I'm 5'8" - highest weight was 195ish


This is me at 169


I'm in a size 10 right now, but my jeans are starting to get loose and I'd like to be a definite size 8. I don't know what the scale will say because I've started strength training, but I really want to get to 160 and see where I go from there.

I'm technically 5'10 but this thread has really helped me be encouraged about my size and height.

Highest Weight: 214 (in November 2011)
SW on MFP: 208 (in February)
CW: 196
GW: 160

I feel like going for anything under 160 will be ridiculously hard for me to maintain. I have a medium/large build and if I can get toned and build more muscle and get rid of body fat I will look very good at that weight. My current body fat is 28% (ICK!) and I just got to where I can fit in a size 14 jean (very tight though). I would love to be in an 8 and stay there.

5'8 1/2 here....

goal 135-140, but more realistically would probably be about 145.

Depending on who you ask, a UK size 10 is either an American 8 or 6, so the size I'm at now is a UK 12 or 14. Depending on how your weight is distributed, though, I doubt you'd have to drop to 126 to fit into either of those sizes.

My goal weight is 180, but right now it's 200 and we'll see from there! I WAS 336 and I've always been over weight so I don't know what a good goal is.

I've just started my weight loss. I'm currently about 225lbs. My goal is 175lbs. I dont know if i want to go less than this... i actually cant remember being lower than 170ish in all of my teenage/adult life..... it might change once i get to this goal though! I'm hoping to do this in 12 months.

I'm closer to 5'10" but I'll give my stats. Currently I am approximately 160 lbs and my goal weight is 145-150. I have been as low as 130 and I was way too thin then, but I think 145 will be good. Mostly I just want to be a quicker runner than I am now.

I'm a little over 5'9" ... like 5'9 1/2 haha and I currently am at 250.2 and I would like to get to 160

I started at 318 .... 68 down.... many more to go......

318 - Starting Weight (11/4/11)
250.2 - Current (4/16/12)
160 - Goal (?)

Great job

Well, I'm 5'9' and currently 333. At my highest weight though, I was 469 lbs. I got down to 270, but after getting pregnant and having a baby, I reached back to 351. My goal is to get down to 190, but then I'll probably have to have some surgery to get rid of excess skin and I have NO idea how much that will cause me to lose.

My goal is 200ish....I really just want to get down to a size 12 but thats a long term goal...

lilawolf

I'm 5'9 and 171lbs (last weigh in) with a body fat percent of 32.4%. I would like to get down to 22% body fat which calculates to a goal weight of 152. If I start lifting weights again, my goal weight may go up, while my goal body fat will stay the same. I suggest you get a scale with a body fat measurement or measure yourself with calipers (google the process), look at some charts and decide where you want to be, and set your goal weight from there.

Everyone will have a little bit different number depending on muscle mass and frame size....

Good luck!

I'm 5'9" and this is me at my goal weight, which is 145. I might take it down to 140 to get some tight abs, but I'm really happy here.

You just gotta log everything, everyday. And of course exercise. I run 4-5 days a week and do one day a week of resistance training (push-ups, squats, plyo, kicks, planks, etc.) But you don't have to do what I do, find what YOU like to do and stick with it. Main thing though is eating. I can do all the same exercise and if I don't watch what I eat, I'll be 15 pounds heavier by the end of the month. When I started logging my food it's cause I had gained about 15 pounds and wanted to lose it. I was doing the same amount of running and exercising, just wasn't watching my calorie intake.

I actually reached my goal a day ago.
Went from 246 to 185. Now my new goal is 170 or less if I feel I can do it.

Congratulations to all the ladies in the group for trying so hard.

First time posting - I'm 5'8" and started at about 165lbs a year ago..I'm now down to 142 and fitting into a US size 6-8 (depending on the store). Aiming for a littler lighter, around 135-140, but only because of a few tri's and runs I'm doing over the next 12 weeks. I'm hoping a few less pounds will make me just a littler faster! lol

BTW - my profile pic is from 2 weeks ago at 150
