5'9" ladies......what is your goal weight

I'm 5'8" (close to 5'9") and I thought my ultimate goal would be the middle of my BMI healthy range - which would put me at 140.

My nutritionist absolutely resolutely said with my frame I would look skeletal at 140lb.

So I'm working my way down from 282 (currently at 250) my long term goal is 175 or 150. I don't want to be skeletal but will happily settle for a size 10 clothing. (Which I haven't worn since maybe 7th grade).

I am currently comfortable at 148 lb, so that's my goal weight. I wear a size 6, if anyone cares, and I do have a large frame (6.5" wrist, and broad shoulders). My body fat % is in the low 20s.

May I ask how you ladies determined your goal weights? My doctor told me to lose weight when I weighed 168 lb... I thought she was an idiot, because she seems to have based that on the BMI chart rather than what was in front of her, but complied anyway.

Another 5'9" here and over 40. No medications yet and I want to prevent any.
My lowest as an adult (maybe teenager) was 138. I'm just starting my trek now from 198 and would love to see 160-165.
It's different for everyone. Trying to make that 'lifestyle' change and not call it a 'diet' Trying to convince my mind just because I'm a mom and getting 'older' doesn't mean I have to let the body go to look older LOL.
Best wishes everyone. We can do this!

I'll be satisfied at 160

5'8" here and my goal these days isn't a weight number necessarily...it's more of goal measurements of 36-27-36 and 18% body fat. I've got a medium build and an hourglass shape.

Last year at this time, I was 142, but skinny-fat (body fat 30%). Prior to that (May 2010-June 2011), I'd gradually gone from 198 to 146. This was with Medifast, hcG, and anything that wasn't eating clean....I focused a ton on the number on the scale vs. the measurements, and was around a 27" waist and a size 4/6. Joined a gym in March 2012 and my goal was 130. Looking back now, I looked just fine at 145.

Since March 2012, I've gone up 30 lbs exactly, primarily from muscle gains (this morning at 23% body fat), binge eating, and a wrecked metabolism from the starvation diets over the previous 2 years; however, I've tapered off between 168-171 these days, and I lift heavy 3x a week, eat 90% clean most of the time. My metabolism has stalled and I'm trying to figure out what will start the loss back up again.

I think I looked best at 145 at 5'8", but if I stayed at 165, I'd be happy too. My current measurements are 36-29.5-38 (I'm close!)

I hope this helps!

I'm 5'9'', and currently at 160lbs, with about 26% body fat. My ultimate goal is 130lbs/22% body fat, which I hope to achieve by the end of the year. My April goal is 155lbs.
I try to keep track of my weekly weight, measurements and goals in a spreadsheet. With that, I'm able to look over it and see my progress. I look for motivation wherever I can get it! Hope this helps.

This sounds right. I am 5'9 and currently hovering around 150...but I still have fat on me. I would love to be 145 and more tone.

I am 5'9" and I reached my goal of 147 a month or so ago. I am now trying to maintain but have lost another two pounds. I don't really want to lose anymore, just tone up a little.

I am 5'8 1/2" weigh 162, last year I weighed 151 and I ate over 2000 calories everyday. I wear the same clothes I wore last year and I had started strength training last May. My 'happy' weight is 155 but I can't imagine going under 1800 calories to reach that so I am hoping to control my eating between 1800-2200 and see if I can reach 155 that way. My fitbit says I burn 2400-2600 everyday and that's not including the strength training 4 times a week.

I'm 5'8 ... I weigh 175, my body fat percentage is 28%. I'd say goal is 165-170 - I was there last summer, trying to get back (start weight 223). I am completing an Insanity round in a week or so, haven't lost weight but my size 10 clothing is now loose, not quite an 8 though :grumble:

Just me, but I'm going more for a body fat percentage of ~20% than a number. Depending on what you do for exercise a number can look drastically different on the same person. I've been lifting a lot, so I've gained lbs but dropped body fat.

I'm 5'8 and looking at 160 as my goal weight, all I really want is a normal BMI

I am initially trying for 180-185. I started at 285 (size 24), currently down to 246 (snug size 18). In high school, I was always between 145-155, BUT for whatever reason that put me at a size 16. Given that "math," I will see what a 100 lb loss looks like. If I still feel the need, I will take it down as low as 150, but the last thing I want is to look emaciated. I don't mind being a curvy girl; I just want to be a healthier curvy girl.

I'm 5'9" and I'm shooting for 145lbs as my ultimate goal weight. I weigh about 174 right now.

My comfy weight (and the weight my body loves and doesn't ever want to leave!) is 180. It's been tricky at me to stay below 175... ultimately I'd love to get comfy at 155-165!!!

I have a medium/large frame and am pretty muscular.

I'm only 5'7 so a little shorter than you all, but I was at 194 and now i'm at 160, have been down to 152 and looked way to skinny, I have a medium frame, at 160 now i'm wearing size 8's or 10's depending on the brand of clothing, but my body seems to like the 158-160 range.
