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

I'm 5'9.5". I started at 174lbs (my heaviest ever) a few months ago, now I am down to 155lbs. My goal weight is 140lbs.
Right now I am a size 10. I hope to be a size 8 or 9.

I am 5'9" and my current weight is 165 but I am on my way to 155. When I get there I will see how that looks/feels and re-evaluate at that time. I think it's a matter of personal preference.

I'm 5'9" and I really dont know what I put for my goal weight, I think I threw out 155. I was 125-130 when I was married and could eat an entire pizza plus whatever else was lying around and was accused of being anorexic. After having kids and an underactive thyroid, those days have long since passed. I did do a protein diet once about 15 years ago with my husband where I got down to 145, but I looked skinny and boney on my limbs and still had a lot of chunk on my lower torso. And the carb cravings were overwhelming! I gained it all back plus some! I finally just decided to do portion control and start walking (i have always been a from scratch cook and ate pretty cleanly). Then three years ago my oldest daughter was diagnosed with celiacs and we started REALLY reading labels, cutting out most breads, pastas, and cereals, and just eating fewer carbs in general. Boom! Abdominal bulge almost gone. I still have portioning issues, so MFP has helped me tremendously just as a learning tool, but now I guess my main goal is to be healthy and lose a little more jiggle. I'm buying more from our local farmers markets and eating organic or home grown as much as possible, but I know not everyone is able to due to where they live. Thats just something important to me. I also get up earlier and have started jogging/ walking and can't believe how energizing that is! I'm at 165 and I guess I could lose 10 more pounds, but more important to me is how much nutrition I can get from what I put in my mouth and still close my eyes, sigh, and say "mmmmm, that tastes amazing". So maybe 155 is okay.

I'm changing mine...
I'm 5'9''.

I hit my goal weight of 155lbs, and I am happy with the way I look, but I'm going for 150lbs now.

im 5'10 and my ultimate goal weight is to be 105. im tall but I don't want to have muscle weight so I chose a low number.

105 is too low - is this a mistype?

I'm 5'9" and have been maintaining at 125 for almost two years.

You posted your low weight only a week ago in this thread, how many times do you need to repeat it ?

I'm 5'9 and currently weigh 159 lbs. My end goal is 135 lbs

I'm 5'9" and at 165 right now and while my goal weight on here is 140, I'm going to get myself to 150 then start focusing on some heavy lifting. Even now I don't think I really care too much about the weight... I'm more focused on measurements! But its always nice to see that "Lost X lbs since her last check in!" status!

I'm 5"10 and my goal weight is 160. That will put me in the healthy range for my BMI and I will be happy with that. Just want to be healthy dont have a need to be super thin.

I'm thinking 170, but when I get there I will re-evaluate. Still have a ways to go.

175 is my first goal, thats 100 lbs from my SW of 275. When I get there (in another 81 lbs), I'm going to reevaluate and see if I want to try for 165 or lower.

This is a very interesting thread!

I'm 176 cm tall (or 5'9" and a half) I'm 68.9 kg now (151 pounds). I have no idea what my goal weight is. I thought it was 69 kg, but I mostly chose that because that number makes me laugh! Mature, I know. Now that I am here at around 69 kg, I know that I would like to keep going. I have no idea what a good weight for my body is. My plan is to try to get to 65 kg (143 pounds) and see what I think. If I get there and it's too skinny, I'll gain. If on the way to getting there I decide that it's not working out how I would like, I"ll stop. It's hard when you just don't know. I've been up and down in my weight since I was 18 years old, and overweight for most of that time. And I don't have a record of what I weighed at those times so it's all a bit of a mystery to me.

Guess I'm inquiring because I still sometimes feel big. I've never been petite, always more of an athletic build. People comment on how "good" I look and I till see my problem areas. I have my next goal set at 165.

How awesome that we are all making better choices for ourselves and becoming healthy! We rock.

I wish my goal could be to BE 5'9" instead of 5'. You all are SO lucky! :-) Trust me when I say that "petite" isn't all it's cracked up to be! Good job everyone - you all are so impressive!

I'm 5'8.5" if you want to get technical, but I usually just say 5'8". My goal weight is 145lbs, but I don't know if that is achievable for me. I set that as my goal because that's the smallest I've been post-puberty and I'd like to get there again. However, having aged since I was last at that weight I might need to be a bit higher. I'd like to be no more than 150lbs, and my ideal pants size is a size 8. I too have a larger frame, though, so we'll see. I've always weighed more than I look. I'm currently 196lbs, and most people would probably guess about 170. My pants size is currently a 12 or 14, depending on the brand. (Though all of my 14s are a bit big in the waist...I have bigger thighs so I often need the extra room a 14 offers.)
