    Hi, I'm 5'9" and looking to get under 200, at 53 years old if I got to what the charts say I should weigh I look as if I've been terribly ill. Besides I'm sure I can maintain that weight and it's where my doc wants to see me. I'm looking to drop another 25 and firm up what is left. Does anyone have any good ideas for a 20-25 min strength training workout? I have the hand weights and exercise bands but I know I won't commit to 45 mins 4 days a week to do the video program I have. any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm 5'9 and currently 161lbs, my next goal weight is 150lbs but ultimately would love to be between 140-145lbs. I log each day and love the motivation the MFP gives me.

    Feel free to add me

    I'm 5'9"--my heaviest weight was 230. I started MFP at 220, and after a few years am down 36 lbs. Currently at 184 and 24 lbs away from my goal of 160.

    I don't really "diet" but focus on meeting my cals and getting enough protein. I am also doing C25K for the second time to improve my speed and going to at least one yoga class a week. Slow and steady!! :)

    We should start a club! 5,10" and lost over 60lbs over the last year. Lowest I have been in 10 years. I want to get another 15-20lbs by summer while getting stronger. I do need a new profile pic though. That was 25-30lbs ago.

    I always thought I was tall, but I feel kind of short right now. :-) I'm 5'8" tall and 191 lbs. I'm not super concerned about my weight because I'm a bodybuilder, but I sure am shooting for fitting into my pants! My goal is less than 27% body fat. I haven't been there since I left the military in 2004. Here's to meeting our goals!

    Quick question; what's the cut-off for a "tall" girl? I've heard 5' 9", 5' 10", anything above 5' 6"... so yeah. I'm a bit confused. ^^;

    183ish cm/6ft

    Right now I'm around 82kg/180lbs but I used to be well over 200 back in the day. I aim for anywhere from 160 to 145 depending on when I will get rid of the excess fat from the places I want to the most.
    Feel free to add me, I'm quite friendly! :)

    5'10" and I'm struggling to get the weight off. I'm here for the long term. Although my weight hasn't really changed I am fitter then ever. I've got the exercise down now it's just consistently eating healthy and getting some weight off. I have a goal weight of 185 but right now I'd like to get under 200. My hormones are out of whack.

    i am consulting with a Holistic Registered Nutritionist so hoping to see some weight changes soon. I feel great when I eat well.

    Looking forward to meeting new friends.
