    I'm 5'9" and my SW was 169, right now I am 160 and it has been 4 months since I started tracking calories and going to the gym. Today I am still at 160 and I have been stuck here for a month. My goal is to get down to 140. Does anyone have advice that lost/wants to lose a similar amount? I don't know if I am at a plateau or if my body is getting used to my routine? I am feeling very discouraged.

    I can relate! I dropped the first 10-12 pounds in a few weeks and thought this was going to be easy. Then I got stuck for 2 months bouncing around the same couple of pounds. Just the last few weeks my weight has dropped again like it literally fell off that plateau. If you're certain you're recording your calories accurately and not eating too much or too little, just stick with it. Weight loss is definitely not linear. Reading these boards is a big help, especially the pinned posts at the top.

    I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is 130 for now. I'm kicking around some ideas of where I want to go from here, but I may just maintain for a while. I don't know if I want/need to, but in order to push beyond my lifting, I may have to put on some more muscle.

    My goal is set at 150 but I will see how I look/feel when I get closer to that weight. I'm not set on it. I just want to like my body and feel comfortable and feel like I look good. I have some serious hips and I wouldn't want to ever look bony so I'm cool with whatever looks good on my frame.

    When I hit 170, I thought, "Oh no." Love handles galore.

    Now I'm in the mid-140s. Much better.

    My goal weight is around 140. Then I'll decide if I want to head to 135. I probably won't but you never know. I don't have a small frame so I might not like how it looks eventually.

    I an 5'8". When I started this journey, I thought 164 would be great.

    Now that I get closer to that goal, I realized that I will have to go a bit lower on the weight to get comfortable. This realization came as I started to see my body more clearly, and seeing that the camera was not lying. I was to myself.

    I am not sure that number final number will be, so will take it in 5 lb goals.

    Sorry I could not be more specific.

    :happy:

    I'm 5' 9" and can't remember the last time I was under 200 lbs ... maybe 5th grade. So under 200 would be nice and then to see what every 10 lbs under that feels like. I dont want to be too thin.

    I'm 5'9" and would love to get to 165 (I think). For now 199 seems like a lovely goal for Spring. SW 237, CW 229

    I'm 5'9 and got down to 200 and was a size 14, I liked that size but I think 180 would be perfect for me :)

    I'm 5'8" with similar goals. I started at 307, then when I started MFP at 262 my goal was 220, then 199...I will be there in 12 lb from now and looking down at 180 but have a feeling 170s might be where I maintain. Unsure.

    5'11". Currently 185, my goal is the low 150s, but I would be happy at 160. Whatever weight puts me in a size 6 again. :)

    5'9", and goal is to loose an average of 5lbs a month through the winter to reach my goal of 160 by summer. SW 193, CW 186 after a month of calorie counting and a goal of 90 minutes of exercise a week. Looking at starting strength training/lifting so I can keep up the weight loss.

    True... I'm just saying I was unhappy with my body and thanks to this, I feel a lot better.

    I am 5'9" and started in January of this year at 247.5 lbs - have lost 78 lbs to date and my goal is 160 by my birthday in January. According to the charts I am big boned so this is a good weight for me. I have been 150 before and it was not a comfortable weight.

    I'm 5'9" and maintaining at 145. I may increase that if I decide to add some muscle, but I don't think I would look good much lower, especially at my advanced age. :laugh:

    I'm 5'10". I'm currently aiming for 160lbs then going to assess my situation.
