    I'm 5'9 and my current goal is 150... Ultimate is 140.. but I don't think I will ever get to 140.. I'm small enough at 150!

    150 plus wiggle room, so make that about 145-147ish. I was 135 pre-children (about 13 years ago) and don't think it looks healthy on my 5'8" frame (biggish bones, wide shoulders, now-wider hips).

    You realize that BMI is an awful estimator of health right?

    A lot of people are considered obese/unhealthy by BMI standards, even tho they are perfectly healthy.

    If that's her goal then more power to her.. only she can decide what is healthy/un-healthy.

    If her dream is to become a model then she is on the right track. Average girls should be allowed to weigh where they are comfortable.

    at 5'8 my smallest was 123, I looked disgusting. I'm at 138 now, my trainer thinks 132 on my frame would be perfect.

    Agreed. I'm considered obese by BMI standards and yeah I'm definitely overweight but I am not what I would consider obese. I'm 5'8' and my goal weight is 130.

    I am 5' 8.5" and my goal weight is 140..... I cannot remember when I was there before its been so long.. if I got to 150 and looking fit, then I would stop there.....

    Its more about how I look and not about what the scale says!!

    I'm 5'8" and my goal weight is set at 127. This is based on the fact that I want to have 28% body fat where right now I have 38.5% body fat. In reality I don't really have a goal weight because it will be whatever I weigh when I lose 10 inches from my belly and I am skinny FIT. I just don't want to look like I'm still pregnant anymore. (it's been 4 years).. Lol.

    Good Morning!!

    I am 5'9 and I am looking for anywhere around 140-142. As of right now I am 148 and am OK with it. I would love to just tone up and loose some of the infamous "belly fat" (thank you genetics)!!

    Just for a comparison: In college I weighed 130-135 and I looked like I needed to eat a burger or two!! That was too low for me.

    However, I do understand that everyone's body is different ad weight settles in different places on different people. Just remember to set REALISTIC and HEALTHY goals for yourself!!

    Good luck. :-)

    I'm just shy of 5'9" and my goal weight is right where I am, bouncing between 153 and 154. I need to tone and polish things up, but with my frame (broad shoulders and hips) this is about the right weight for me.

    I'm 5'8 and at my smallest I was 55kg (121lbs) but that was when I'd just gotten back from backpacking around europe and boy did I look freakishly skinny. I'm currently plateauing at about 65kg (143lbs) but I'd like to get down to around the 60kg (128-130ish) mark. Though I'm sort of past the weight part and am focussing more on the fitness and toning side, so if I put more weight back on because of toning up I don't mind because I'll look and feel better anyway :D weight is just a number now.
