I don't know what my actual goal is. I'm more focused on feeling better about myself and being healthier than on a particular #. I also go by clothing size. I'm already a rather small clothing size (size 2) but I have lots of flab and need to tone. Hard to believe but it's true. I have terrible eating habits which I am trying to correct soon. So for you guys out there with similar stature, if you had to pick a number goal weight what would that number be for you, personally?

I'm 5'8", but my build sounds different than yours - larger. My goal is 135-140 lbs which would put me at a size 10 to 8. I look pretty good at that size. I don't think I could physically get into a size 2 no matter what I lost because I have a broad build for a girl (dad played pro football as a defenisve tackle).
Size 2 is pretty small for 5'9". I would consider a good exercise and weight lifting program to build lean muscle to replace any flab. If you build muscle and don't worry about losing, I bet you would look fantastic!
If you do that, make sure you are eating plenty of protein so you don't end up burning muscles when you work out.0 -
Size 2?! What do you weigh? Egads, I'm not even dreaming of size 2.
I'm a little under 5'9", with smaller bones. I'm thinking somewhere between 125 and 135 when I'm done. I can see forty more pounds coming off. I'm bouncing between 165 and 170 right now and wearing 12s (Ms and Ls) comfortably, so I don't think I'll be anywhere near a 2.
I started in size 3X and 24 solidly, so even where I am makes me happy. I don't care how low I go, size-wise.
If you're in a 2 and think you're "flabby" try lifting weights or something. You don't need to lose weight.0 -
I'm 5'9" and am currently at 150 after putting on some office weight. I'm hoping to get back down to 135. That would put me at size 0 (for reference). I'm currently a size 4.0

I'm 5 9.5 I have been as low as 155 (barely ate anything due to add medications) and felt too thin. I'm happiest at 180 so I can keep the boobs and but butt have a trim waist. I couldn't imagine weighing 140 but everyone feels comfortable at a different weight.0

I'm 5'9 and I want to get back down to 155. Any less and I wouldn't look healthy.0

I am 5'7 and have never been a size 2. I want to get back down to 135 which would bring me to a size 4 or 6. The smallest I have ever been is a size 4. Currently I am barely a size 10.0

I'm 5'9" and I plan to transition to maintenance when I hit around 145lbs. That will probably put me in a size 8/10?0

Im 5'8,135lbs, size 4. If you dont need to lose alot of weight , but want a toned look then start a lifting program. Google nrol or stronglifts.0

I'm 5'8" and currently a size 4 or a roomy 6. I weigh about 145 but want to be closer to 1300

I'm 5'9" with an hourglass figure. I've experienced each of the following sizes....
Size 12 165-175 lbs
Size 10 155-165 lbs
Size 8 145-155 lbs* This is my happy place where I typically look and feel my best.
Size 6 135-145 lbs
Size 4 125-135 lbs
Size 2 115-125 lbs
Size 0 Under 115 lbs0 -
I'm 5'9" 128ish now size 5-7 with wide bony hips- it would pretty much e impossible for me to go below a 3 I think. I don't really have a 'goal weight'- I just want to get rid of thigh fat.0

I'm 5'9" and I would like to get down to 155. I'm currently a little over 160. I mostly want to tighten up. I don't think I have even been a size 2.0
-
And I'm a size 8. I want to stay that size but I would like it to fit a little better.0

1500

I'm 5'8" and I don't think I could get into a size 2 when I was 10 years old! I wore a size 14 at 120 lbs (think Twiggy in a cinch belt) and a size 14 when I was 145 lbs. Believe me, I looked and felt a whole lot better at 145 lbs. You need weight training to bulk up the muscles some and lose the flab, not to lose weight.0

My goal weight, where I look & feel my best, is 155. That puts me in a size 6/8. Hope to be there again soon! : )0

Wow...I feel good...not! My goal is to get to 200 pounds. I'm 283 right now and I have a very large bone structure. I'm a size 22 right now, I'd be happy just to get to a size 14-16. *sigh*0

I'm 5'8.5" and currently around 150 (size 8). I think I look best at around 140, which is a size 6 (or occasionally a 4) for me.0
