    I'm 5ft 9in and my highest weight was last year at 190lbs, I was wearing a UK size 18. I'm now 179lbs and a UK size 16. My goal is to be 140lbs by June and a UK Size 12/14. I haven't been that weight in 3 years but i'm hoping I can manage to get down to it.

    I'm 5'10", weigh 360.4 pounds (down from 366.8) and wear a size 32. I'm looking to lose half my body weight. I have no idea what size I will be when I get there as I haven't been there since I was in about 6th grade.

    I am 5'9" tall and like you, I can't lose too much or I look way too skinny. My goal weight is around 145, that's where I look and feel best. Over the last few years I have not paid any attention to what I was eating and here I am at a little over 180. This morning I weighed for the first time this week and I am down 3 pounds!!! I just started this week and it feels good to see a positive result. My daughter is graduating high school and I have my 30 year class reunion a month apart and I really want to look my best. Lately I have just not been happy with how I feel and look. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can all do this together!

    I am 5'9" and I am weighing in at about 217lbs. I currently wear a size 16 (CDN) pant. My ultimate goal, I think, is to be at 160lbs. I have never been there. My lowest weight was 183lbs. I felt healthy, and thin! I worked out 5 to 6 days a week and felt great, but apparently I was still overweight. :sad: so I guess my healthier goal should be somewhere around the 160lbs mark and I will see how I like it!

    For me, personally, no. It is not because of how I look (most people don't notice when I fluctuate 10 lbs), but how I feel. I'm a dancer and most of the time my weight is between 137 and 142. I got injured in the beginning of 2010, so I wasn't able to dance. I gained about 15 lbs over the course of the year between not exercising and eating away my depression which put me at my highest weight ever of 155.5. I didn't look bad, like I said, fluctuation of 10 to 15 lbs when your tall is hardly noticible to most people unless wearing spandex everyday is part of your profession...haha, but my clothes didn't fit very well and I felt tired. My injury is healed and I'm back on track.

    I am 5ft 8in

    My heaviest was about 205. I am currently 162 and my ideal is 150.

    I am a UK size 12 (just) which is US 10. At 150 I am a UK 10/12 which is US 8.

    I Would really love to be 140 but for my naturally curvey shape its just not going to happen so a healthy 150 is the aim.

    I'm 5' 8", currently 200.0 and a size 16. Goal is 164--where I was a size 10 jeans on bottom, but closer to a 14 on top, thanks to The Girls. I really don't feel or look healthy much below that.

    I'm 5'8.5", and currently I weigh 183. Highest weight, 187, just around Christmas time. My lowest weight ever was 118, but I know it's completely unrealistic (and UNHEALTHY!) to get back down to that weight. My goal weight is to be in the 130 - 142 range, with my red flag weight being 155.

    I'm don't bother with clothing sizes because they are wacked out and vary SO much from store to store. I sew my own clothes a lot of the time, and did you know that back in the 60's (I use a lot of vintage patterns), a size "10" was someone with a 31 1/2" bust and a 24" waist?!?! Pffffft. In today's day and age, that person is a size "6". Sizes in today's society have been modified anyways to accomodate our vanity, so I don't base anything on them. As long as it fits, you feel great in it and you're at a healthy weight, who cares what a clothing tag says! :)

    I'm 5'9 and weigh 140. I started out at 185 after my daughter was born. I was a size 18 pant and a XL shirt. I'm now a size 8 pant and a M shirt. I have been maintaining my weight for a year and 4 months. I am happy at this weight, but I could still use some toning up, which I'm currently working on.

    I'm 5'8" I weigh 157 this morning. Bummer. Yesterday I weighted 155. I wear size 12 in jeans. I want to weigh 135. My teen daughter wanted to take me shopping for a 'shaper' to hold it all in. Thats when I knew I needed to get serious. I need to remember that.

    I'm 5'10 and currently 144 lbs, usually wear somewhere between a size 4-8. My heaviest ever was around 176 lbs at 18 years old after 6 months of drinking and eating too much while in Australia. I can't really remember what my lowest was - I think at highschool graduation - working out almost every day but still not having the eating figured out, i was somewhere around 140. Please ladies, lets not make a goal of weighing something we did before we even hit puberty and got hips. I like this thread because it's too easy to compare ourselves to our friends who are 5' 5 and look their best at somewhere around 120-130 lbs. My lean body mass is calculated at 117 lbs -that's with 0% body fat, so VERY unrealistic to ever weigh close to that. Also, try to ignore what the weight predictor estimates on here after you submit your daily food intake.

    I'm 5ft 9 and currently weighing 160lbs. My 'usual' weight is 140lbs and at that weight I wear jeans in a size 12 (UK) size 10 (US). Interestingly, I can still actually fit into those jeans sizes at this heavier weight, but they look AWFUL!

    Looks like 140 is a nice 'slim' weight for those of us around 5ft 8... It's so rare to see people be honest about their weight!

    I am 5'10" 44 years old. started my weight loss journey just around 200 and right now around 175. Wearing a baggy 12 but 10's are too snug yet....Would like to be 155. Might have to settle for 160 because people say I look like a bean pole at that weight. Good luck to all Tall Bigger Beautiful Women....I am so tired of being called Amazon.

    I'm 19 years old 5'8". In some of my pictures I was 170 lbs, pant size 12. At 155 my pant size was 10. 145 pant size was 8. Now I pretty much made it to my goal weight of 136 lbs. Now I am a size 6 jeans. I have a fairly big bone structure, but I would say that 130-140 is where I feel the best about my body. Hope that kind of helped. =)

    SCARY: 110 is a BMI of 16.7, underweight is <18.5. At this weight you are steps away from forced institutionalization due to starvation. Be wary and stop looking at the scale, build muscle tone to look better and have your clothes fit better. You are 20 year old woman not a 14 year old girl who doesn’t know better and has that typical grade 9 pressure from friends. Its better you get that kick in the pants from some stranger on the internet then before your friends and family start bothering you and then forcibly put you into rehap recovery thereby delaying your future plans of University, your own home, spouse, kids, pets whatever it is you desire. Stop, learn and then get to the size you want the healthy way. You can hate me all you want.

    I'm 5'9" and currently weigh 169. I wear a size 10/12. My highest weight was 268lbs a few years ago. My goal is to be back in the 150's again. I was down to 150 a few years ago, but was told I was too skinny for my height and body frame.

    I'm 5'10 and currently at 229 lbs (my heaviest was about 250) I wear a size 14 jean (Canada) but I can fit into some 12' s albeit snugly. I have a bigger frame/bones so I don't really see me going below 170lbs, but time will tell. I'd like to be able to have loose fitting size 12 jeans or even 10s if my thighs will let me, and I'd like to get down to a loose Large on top (my top half is my heaviest). But most of all I'd like to be healthy and have energy and stay as far away from getting diabetes as possible!

    I'm 5' 9.5"

    Currently approximately 150 lbs (I'm jumping up and down as I try to maintain). I'm a size 10 pants (comfortably and even a little loosely by the end of the day). In shirts I am typically around a medium.

    I'm still packing a little around my midsection, IMO, but don't want to lose anymore weight (minimum weight for my height is around 129) so I'm really trying to focus on toning.
