    I'm 5'9. My current weight is 62 kg. And my goal weight is 55 kg. But I am still a teenager. When I get there I can decide what to do and if I want to lose more :)

    When I was first starting this, I wanted to be around 120, but now I'm thinking that that's a bit unreasonable. What is your UGW? Do you have before and afters of it? Thanks guys! (:

    I still have a long way to go but my UGW is 145. It's smack in the middle of what mfp says is my ideal range (125.3-165.3). (5'9)

    I'm 5' 8.5" and my goal weight right now is anywhere from 145-155. The reason it's higher than some people here is because I'm wanting muscle! When I approach my goal weight, I might modify it based on how I look and feel about my body.

    I'm 5'9ish(175cm), and my UGW is 135ish (61kg). SW was 187(85kg) or so (didn't weigh at my highest). I'm currently at 170(77kg)ish, and I feel pretty good. It's hard to imagine losing 2x the weight I've already lost, but I'll see how I feel around 150lbs(68kg) and then continue from there.

    I'm 5'8" with a medium-large frame, ok really it's large, but it makes me feel better to throw that medium in there. My goal on my ticker is 146, but I'm really just guessing. I'll start evaluating when I hit the healthy BMI range at 163. I'm 189 right now, 199 in my profile pic. Size 12 bottoms in women's 13s in jr. I have narrow hips, jr. department shorts fit me better. Size large t-shirts and sweaters, XL button up shirts if I want to actually button them over my chest.

    I'm 5'9. My UGW is 200lbs...to squat.

    Otherwise, I really only care about body fat.

    5'9 and my goal weight right now is 168lbs because that will put be out of the overweight category on the BMI scale. Other than that, I have no ambitions to get out of the 160s. At that point I plan on being more concerned with toning than weight loss. I think I would die at 120!

    I'm 5'9. I currently weigh 138. My goal is 121- but that may be a bit low.

    I am 5 8 1/2 and 131 pounds. I would like to re-gain 3 or 4 of the 88 pounds I've lost. My advice is to have goals but keep reassessing as you go. I used to think I was large boned (when I wore a size 20w), but now admit and realize that I was simply fat. I think 133-135 is my ideal. I will get back there.

    I am 5'10", I was told by my doctor a reasonable weight for that height is around 165. Its perfect for you bmi. I am shooting for 170-175 right now. It all depends on your body structure to. Talk with your doctor about what the best weight for your height and weight should be. They can help you get a better idea.

    I'm 5'10"...

    SW: 375 (Yikes)
    CW: 254
    GW: 170

    I have a medium to large frame, and as long as I'm healthy I don't want to get super skinny. I have been overweight my whole life so the skin is an issue...: / Not to mention, I would feel odd all tiny. I. Am. Amazon. LOL

    I am 5'9". I started on MFP in January at 175. I made my first goal weight of 160. As I approached 160, I then lowered my goal to 155. I am currently 153 and don't have a "goal" anymore. I am working on toning up certain areas of my body and will continue to count calories and workout like I'm doing now. If I lose a few more pounds in the process, that's fine. If I don't, that's fine too.

    I'm 5'9" and my goal listed on MFP is 145lbs. I am currently 168 and started at 225. I will reevaluate when I get closer, but I'm thinking 145 is probably good for me-I've always been an athlete and have a lot of muscle, so I don't want to lose that just to get skinnier.

    I'm 5'10", currently 200 lbs. I was 166 lbs when I joined the military at 18, got down to 148 at the end of bootcamp & maintained it for about a day & a half. LOL My ultimate goal weight is 160 lbs with no jiggly bits. I might have to go lower to get there, I'm just trying to get to 160 for now.

    I'm 5'8" and my UGW is 140 with my absolute dream weight would be 130 - 135, but I am starting to think that is unrealistic. So i will wait until I'm 140 then reassess the situation!

    I'm 5'10 and my goal weight for now is 150. I'd like to say my UGW is 145 but I'll see what I look (and feel) like at 150- if it suits and I'm fitting into the clothing I want to fit into, then I'll stop there!

    yay, glad to have found the tall people! Anyone else feel bad to see people are a your UGW and still losing, then remember that they're actually 5 inches shorter than you? I have to remind myself CONSTANTLY that I should weigh more than someone I'm a head taller than- think it's from being at school!

    I'm 5'9" and my goal is to be 140, but once I get down to 155 I'll reevaluate. I've been 155 and I looked pretty darn good, just could use a little bit of toning, but that is a normal weight for that height. 120 pounds is WAY too thin, BTW. You don't want to be unhealthy, right?

    There's one of these posts every other day on here.

    I'm 5'10 and my weigh in today was 156. My GW is 140-150. I wear size 6 or 8.

    Last time I weighed 120 was in 6th grade, hahaha.

    Feel free to add me, ladies! I love supporting other tall women on here in their health and fitness goals.

    I am a smidge under 5'8" with a large bone structure, big hands and feet, etc. IN my 20s I weighed 135 and it was a decent weight for me. Would like to get back to that, but since I am currently 173, it would be really tough. Gonna try to get as close as I can though.

    Hi!
    I'm 5 foot 9 and currently weigh 155lb. I'd like to lose 7 to 10lb and see what that looks like. More than that I'd like to get to 25% body fat, currently 29%.
