    I was at one stage 5'9 and 135 pounds at my highest weight i was 215 when i decided enough is enough....

    I though 135 was too skinny for my height and am aiming for around 160

    42 more pounds to go for me :o)

    i'm 5'8" and currently 233 (240 was my heaviest)... i wear a loose 18 in jeans (yay 16's should be returning soon!)

    my ideal weight is anywhere between 150-170 once i get out of the 200's. my lowest adult weight was 170 and i felt and looked great!

    5'11" and 252 pounds. I wear a size 18.

    My goal weight is 170. I have a heavy frame and play a lot of sports though, so I have a lot of muscle on me. I would look emaciated if I weighed much less than that. I just need to get rid of the fat!

    I am the same way.... I know at 180 I felt fat, but thats because all the girls on the softball team were stick thin and not built like me. Thats my goal, I feel I would look too thin at anything below 170.

    I am 5'8. I started at 188.8 wearing a snug size 12 jeans. I am currently 169.0 and my size 10 are starting to feel a little loose. I am hoping to get to a healthy 140 to maintain, whatever size I am there I will be thrilled with :smile:

    Hi
    I'm 5ft 11.5". I am currently 191lbs and a U.K size 14 - 16. I would like to be 187lbs which would mean I had maintained my original weight loss of 4 stone (56lbs). This took me about 4 years to get off but I have struggled in the last year to maintain. Now I'm using this site to track what I eat and what exercise I do I have already started to see results. 4lb in one week last week!
    I am happy to be this dress size but would like to get back to 187lbs - 4 more to go but the closer you get the harder it is!
    Good luck to all you tall girls out there - stand tall and be proud!!

    I agree. I was shocked when I read that post. I'm so happy that something was said. We are here to get healthy and I agree that being underweight is un-healthy.

    I am 6'0. 36 years old. Hit 5'10 at 12 years old. Since i can remember buying clothes it started out at a junior 15/17 and skyrocketed from there. starting this process i wore a 24/26 at 315 now I'm at 275 and wear and 18/20 (6 feet tall) my goal weight (which is still above what the charts tell me it should be) is 185 I in no way want to be a rail, but healthy, curvy and proud to be tall and fit. can't wait to see what i look like there - think i will look unstoppable LOL :)

    I am 5'9" - currently 150lbs. Heaviest at 172, lightest at 118 (when I was pregnant of all things...eek!). My goal weight is somewhere around 137-140 and a size 6. I'm a size 8 right now with Old Navy Flirt jeans - could squeeze into a size 6, but it wouldn't be flattering!

    I am 5'9 and weigh 224, size 18. My heaviest was 236 (in December 2010) and I was in denial of being a size 20. I have an athletic build, so when I weigh 185, I actually look really good and have no back fat and just a small belly. The last time I weighed 185 was in 2006. I was seeing a trainer 3x a week so I was solid. At 185, I am in a size 14 and am comfortable at that weight. BUT...my ultimate goal would be anywhere from 165 to 175, size 12 or 14. I can't imagine being 150 pounds and 5 feet 9 inches tall!! I looked grossly skinny at that weight...you know, back in the 90's! Anyway, everyone has such a unique body type. I just want to feel fit and look great so anything under 200 lbs and size 16 or below works for me!!!:wink:

    I'm 5'9" and I weigh 165.5 and I wear an 8 or a 10 depending on the brand. I weighed 230 after I had my son but stayed at 199 a year after having him. I want to get down to 155, that's a good size for me!

    I am 5'9 and currently weigh 323. My heaviest was 348. I wear a size 28 jeans. Not proud to acknowledge it but it is who I am and I am working hard to get to a healthy weight of 160. Have a long road ahead of me but with MFP, I know I can do this .

    I'm 5'8 and starting weight was 206. My current goal is 165. That's what I was when I got married (a nice size 10/12). I thought I looked super cute, and healthy. I'm currently at 195 and making progress. Good luck!

    Height: 5'8"

    Heaviest: 175lbs
    Goal: 115-120lbs
    Current Jean Size: 1 or 3 (depending on brand)/ Dress size 0 or 00

    For exercise I do A LOT of cross-fit/ rock climbing/ and running. I have recently started gaining a lot of lean muscle from weight lifting (lots of reps with lighter weights) and doing parkour/ cross-fit.
