    I'm 5'10" and my goal is between 155-160, I'm currently 162 (my profile pic is me at 167).
  • I'm almost 5'9" and currently weigh 163 (down from 187.) I am really unhappy with my body right now, I am pear shaped and I think this much weight looks very unhealthy on me.

    My first goal is 145, but I think ultimately I would like to be muscular 135. However I have never been a thin person so we'll see how it goes. I just want a flat stomach and thighs that don't touch! Is that too much to ask for!? :)
  • Hi there!
    I'm 5'9" and am currently 163-165 depending on the day. My goal is 150. (I have a big belly, and thighs).
    Hope it helps.
    Good luck getting to your goal!

    According to the BMI scale, I would need to be 159-169 but I am aiming for 175 in the end. I haven't been under 200 in about 15 years and would really like just to see 199 on my scale too. Ultimate goal: 175 or less. Current goal: 230 (my pre-prego weight). Current weight: 247-250 (varies on day).

    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.

    I am also 5'8.5" and am now down to 182. I want to go to the high 160s. And as others said, it does depend on your build...I have a fairly boyish figure...not big up front, not really curvy, thinner legs, so I think mid 160s is a definite for me. If you are curvy/large chested, you may be able to be a bit higher and feel good at that weight.

    I'm 5'9" and my goal is 155, just a few more to go.

    You would be my twin! I am also 5'9 and aiming for 155....I was 150 before I got pregnant so initially that was my goal but, honestly...Now I'm 158 and feeling so good...if I can hover around 155...I'm very happy with that......

    I am 5'6 and I would like to get down to 160, and see how i look. I would love to be 140, but I think i have to big of a frame for that. Back in the day (high school). I got down to 120 (which I thought was great), but my friends thought I looked sick. I didn't lose weight the most healthy way, didn't eat hardly anything and ran 2 miles a day. The weight dropped fast. Right now I am setting a goal to be under 200 by Jan 1st, currently I am at 214. Baby steps I guess.
  • I'm a hair under 5'9 and my goal is 150. In the past that is where I have maintained easily, and felt good. I have been at 145, but that's on the lean side almost 10 years ago.
