I'm 5'8 and 60 years old. I wont tell you my weight but it has gone down in the past 2months. I used to maintain 150 with no problems, but now its harder because as you age your metabolisim goes down. I have knee priblems, witch makes it hard to do alot of cardio exercise but I love to walk. I would love to see 150 again. Am looking forward to it.0

I'm 5'9" and this morning weighed in at 137.4. They say to estimate 5 lbs more per inch. Soooo, I'd say, for myself, I'm onnthe leaner side but toned (with some fat to lose on my thighs.)
Current bodyfat % is probably between 16-19%.

Hi There!
I'm always interested in knowing what other girls my height aim for as a goal weight too
I'm 5'9'' and currently 182lbs. My ultimate goal is 140lbs. I think weight is proportioned differently on every single individual because we're all so unique. What may look good on one person may look too thin/heavy for another. So it's always best to tweek the goal as you go along.
Yes you are right and I do tweak my goals to suit me but its good to have somethig to go by you know :bigsmile:0 -
I am 5'9", so a little taller. I am 225lb, working to get down to 145-160. Then I will re-access how my body looks and set a new goal. wearing 16 jeans, hoping to at least get down to a 12 or maybe even out of double digits.
Thanks :flowerforyou:0 -
Hey, I'm only 2cms shorter than you are - my GW *was* 134.5, it's now roughly 140lbs - I'm doing a mix of cardio, endurance, and strength training - and it's working!0

I'm 5'8" - currently hovering around 148-150... working on getting that to 138-140....starting to think I need to let the scale "number" go and just work on losing body fat, gaining muscle and getting stronger.
Feel free to add me as well. Good luck on your journey.0 -
My goal is 154, I'm currently 169 but I started at 202. My goal is not to be skinny, it's simply to be healthy. Good luck with reaching all your goals everyone!0

We're almost twins I'm 5'8'', started at 229 and goal is 160-170. I have quite a muscular body so it'll depend how I look at 170 to see if I still go down or not !
I'm currently a size 16, hoping to go down to a comfortable size 12
It's when I hit size 18 I said OHH NOOO !!! And decided to take charge !
Good luck to all in your successes and congratulations to all you beautiful lean ladies0 -
I'm 5'8", weight 145lbs and have a current body fat% of 19-20%, wearing a size 6-10 depending on brand/label.
Last year I had knee surgery and then broke my collar bone playing with the kids. I became 'skinny fat' eating low calories because the lack of exercise to keep weight at maintenance (check out before and after photo in my profile)
I lift heavy weights 3x a week and cardio 2x, besides that I'm very active in general Firm believer in clean(er) eating, too.

I'm 5'9" and at 218 right now! My highest weight was 300. I think my ultimate goal weight is from 180-160. Haven't fully decided yet!0

I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 177. I started my journey at 225. My goal is 150. I already lowered it from 160, so who knows where I'll actually stop. It's more about how I feel. I'm really enjoying shopping in the misses section rather than the plus size section at the store. I have gone from a size 22 to currently a size 14. My knee and hip pain is pretty much gone, so I'm very happy with my progress. :happy:0
