Ladies 5' 9" - What's your goal weight?

My goal is set to 150, because that is mid-way in the healthy weight range for us 5'9" girls (129 - 169). But I may try to get to 145. I will see how I feel at 150. 29 more lbs to get there... Congrats to all of you who have met your goals or are getting closer every day!

I choose 155... but who know when that'll happen!

Here's a height and weight chart. You'll see that 169 for 5'9" is actually just at the high end for that height. I'm 5'9" and when I hit 170 lbs I realized I needed to do something about it before it got out of hand. I'm at 150 now and don't really have a "goal weight." I told my friend when she asked that 140 would be great. However, if I'm hot at 160 with serious muscle mass, IDC. I want to be happy. I want to look good, I want to be healthy. That's where you should want to be, too.

139 is the lowest I would feel healthy at bc I do have a largish frame. But, I lift, run, do a l;ot of high intensity training and will probably always be too muscle-y to weigh much less than 145.

I'm 5'9 1/2 and my bare minimum goal is 160, though I looked alright at 170-180. I'd like to see if I can get down to around 130-140 because I've never been that low, weight wise, but really my big plan is just to focus on toning and strength training after I hit 160.

I'm 6ft & my original goal was 175 but now I'm at that weight I know I need to lose quite a bit more, so my new goal is 150. The lowest I've ever been is around 160 but I wasn't skinny then, so I know another 10lbs will be fine.

I agree with everyone else.. only you can decide what your "ideal" weight is!

5'9 here..I'm currently at 156.4 lbs, aiming to get to 154lbs. When I first started I aimed for 161lbs but once I got there I decided to go that bit lower.

I'm medium framed and pear shaped.

I'm 5' 9" and looked awesome at 167, did a lot of weight training and swimming at that time so had an athletic build. I want to try for 145 to see, but i have a feeling I'll be happier around 155.

i am 5'8" and a 1/2 my goal is 160 its a heathy weight for your height.

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is 169.3lbs...and i as well think thats too low because i'm tall and i think its going to make me look like a freaking stick. I'm 66lbs away from that goal weight but I think i'm going to try 180lbs and see how i feel. I want some meat...MFP says my target goal should be between 125lbs to 169lbs...too low for me.

I think it depends on your body frame and how much muscle you carry. I'm 5'8.5" and I look good at 190. When I get down to 180-170, I start to look a little sickly. I build muscle pretty quickly, so even though the number in the scale says one thing, my body looks another. My goal is to get down to a healthy weight/BMI. What the number will be will be determined by medical and visual factors...not necessarily the scale. I used the scale as a guage of my progress, not my success.

This is so true.
You spoke my mind.
The last time I weighed 93kg some people said I looked sickly, for now my goal is to get to 85kg, am 94 right now and am not looking bad, no one is commenting, I guess they are used to the slim me now, will decide how many more kgs to lose when I see hoe I look.
Am 5"8 with a big frame and I don't look like I weigh 94kg, am sure u know what I mean.
