I'm 5'9" and 152 lbs. I'm one of the lucky ones (sarcasm), every pound of fat goes right into my tummy. I was at 145 about a year ago and still my tummy wobbled. I however have developed visible muscle on my legs and arms. I think goal weight depends largely on frame size, and how you place it. Abdominal fat is particularly unhealthy due to all of the organs developing a layer. I have tried to lift heavy and look at myself rather than the scale, allowing my weight to fluctuate both down and up, which was scary at first.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope this thread helps you see average goals for your height, but you shouldn't necessarily base your goal on the experiences of others.0 -
Hello, just joined, in 2004 I lost 120 lbs. by careful eating and weights. I was a size 12 at 185 lbs. and was told I was too thin. I am 5' 9" and broad shoulders. You are making great progress. When my mom died I turned into a couch spud so here I go again.0

I'm 5'9 and currently at 167. Small framed Want to be in a size 8 so I'm thinking I will need to get down to 140 to achieve this goal.0

I'm 5'9" and I would love to be 150 in an ideal world, but more realistically I am shooting for the low 200s. I have a big frame, i was a swimmer and a softball player, and my shoulders and hips are wide, and my Dr said that was a good goal.
Good Luck!0 -
I'm 5'9" and 159, aiming for 140, maybe 130.
I agree with the person who said check with another doctor. 220 sounds high for your height, no matter what your build is. I mean it's a great first goal but I wouldn't make it the end goal, I'm sure you could lose more for your health.0 -
I'm in between 5'8" and 5'9" .. Currently 190 lbs, and aiming for 150-155. My first goal is to get to 160 and see if I still need to lose weight from there. My body carries far evenly so I don't really look that much overweight. I suppose I would like to lower my BF % to 15-20%, whatever looks best on me.0

I'm 5'11, and currently at 166lbs, but would love to get to like 158lbs.0

I am 5'10 I am currently at 165 my goal weight is 155 though I am more interested in fitting into some of the clothes I have grown out of than the specific #. In an Ideal world I would love to be 145-150 which is where I was at 23 when I finished college. But I think 155 is probably more realistic for me now heading into my 30s. Like I said what I really want is to loose inches so I can fit into the clothes I have out grown this past year.0

I'm almost 5'9", busty and large framed. My goal is 175-180 (another 40lb. to lose) or a waist measurement of 35" or less; I also want to reduce my BF%. Doc said this is a good weight for me to aim for... any smaller and I would look unhealthy. It all has to do with build.0

I am 5'9", broad shouldered, medium frame. Started at 218, currently 167. I am aiming for the 150's. If I were younger I would aim for the 140's. I am 55 and need some fat in my face.0

I am 5 foot 10 and am aiming for 145-150. I got married back in 2001 at 135-140, so I know that I can do it!!0

I'm 5ft 11" and currently weigh 198. I have been 182 at my lightest but I am aiming for 189 at the moment.0
-
I was aiming for 155, but I can't seem to shake 180. It loves me, really, but that's ok, I feel better now than I did five months ago.0
-
I am 5' 9" and have a large frame. I am currently 202. I have been as low as the 130's in my early 20's but I really looked too skinny for my big bones. My goal weight 160. I looked and felt my best at that weight.0

I'm 5'9, fluctuate between 160-163, hoping to get around 150 or 145. I'm usually a size 6.
Don't know what my body fat percentage is, but as of earlier this month, my measurements were 35.5/28.5/38. Being a triathlete and ballet instructor with an athletic body type (i.e. big quads) can make finding skinny jeans a pain.0 -
I'm 5'9, 35 years old and for the last ten years have weighed between 133 and 143. I'm happiest at 133, and when my weight creeps up to the upper levels I start to feel bad enough to modify my habits. I would consider myself slim, but am certainly not skinny or small framed. I have a reasonably athletic frame that responds well to exercise but with boobs and curvy butt, hips, and thighs - all the areas where I tend to hold weight.
Maybe try getting a body fat percentage test? That can also help you set a body fat goal based on your age parameters. Weight isn't really a great indicator as we're all put together so differently. I've known a few petite people who came in surprisingly high on the scales.0 -

I am 5'9" 1/2 and huge boned. My goal right now is just 199, but I would like to eventually get back down to 159. I was about a size 10 then. But, I would be happy with 199.9.0
