5'9 ladies!!

I'm 5'8.5", and currently 175lbs. I've been as low as 158 and I was slim but not skinny then. I'd like to try for 150lbs this time and then see how I look at that.

I'm 5'8.5 and aiming to get to 100. Yes I am aware that it's a low weight. I have a very small frame.

I'm 5ft 9 and would be happy to get back down to 150-160 as i was before

I'm 5'8" and at 163-165 I look almost as good as I want to (been there before and not so long ago). I would love to be 159 and stay under that 160-mark. I'm currently hovering @175 and I hate these extra 12-15#s. They make all the difference in how my clothes fit, but I can't stop shoving crap into my pie hole.

I'm 5'9 and I'm currently 173. I started at 192 and I would like to be at 155.

I'm 5'9" with a medium/large frame. I'm aiming for 150, but we'll see how I feel once I get there. If I think I look good at 160-165, then I won't worry about that last bit of weight, and if I'm still not satisfied at 150, I may go for another 5-10 pounds.

At the very least I want to reach a health BMI (169).

5'9.5" - 220 is reasonable for me - 200 is my goal but probably not practical. I am large framed and I build muscle quickly.

Hey!!

I'm 5'9 and 166lbs! and a large frame!

My goal is around 140 but more important to tone up!

I have really wide hips and chest so I don't think I will ever make it below 140!

I had a stent put in in January 2013. I am 5"9" and weighed 200 LBS. My cardiologist "Highly Recommended" a 30 lb. weight loss. To be @ optimum health weight for my height I should be under 168 Lbs. I don't understand why your doctor would suggest 200 Lbs max. That weight promotes high blood pressure, high cholestrol and in danger of developing heart disease (All of which I have). I'd check with another doctor if I was you.

Hi! I'm 5' 10", and 206lbs--my goal weight is 180, but I just can't seem to get past 205 lbs. I'm working out daily with Zumba, Tae Bo, and started C25k-week 5 completed. I did loose 20 lbs by cutting out soda and eating better. I am 46, so that is probably my biggest barrier. I do feel better once I work out. Some days I just focus on feeling better with working out, and not focusing on the scale, but it's always present! My calorie goal is 1610, and I usually eat back the calories burned. I'm open to gals like me too!

I'm 5'9" and 152 lbs. I'm one of the lucky ones (sarcasm), every pound of fat goes right into my tummy. I was at 145 about a year ago and still my tummy wobbled. I however have developed visible muscle on my legs and arms. I think goal weight depends largely on frame size, and how you place it. Abdominal fat is particularly unhealthy due to all of the organs developing a layer. I have tried to lift heavy and look at myself rather than the scale, allowing my weight to fluctuate both down and up, which was scary at first.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope this thread helps you see average goals for your height, but you shouldn't necessarily base your goal on the experiences of others.

I'm 5'9 and currently at 167. Small framed Want to be in a size 8 so I'm thinking I will need to get down to 140 to achieve this goal.

I'm 5'9" and 159, aiming for 140, maybe 130.
I agree with the person who said check with another doctor. 220 sounds high for your height, no matter what your build is. I mean it's a great first goal but I wouldn't make it the end goal, I'm sure you could lose more for your health.

I'm 5'11, and currently at 166lbs, but would love to get to like 158lbs.

I'm almost 5'9", busty and large framed. My goal is 175-180 (another 40lb. to lose) or a waist measurement of 35" or less; I also want to reduce my BF%. Doc said this is a good weight for me to aim for... any smaller and I would look unhealthy. It all has to do with build.
