5'9" women, what is your goal weight?

5'9", currently 133lbs, size 4-6. Hoping to run out my "noob gains" with my lifting program and see where that gets me, and then maybe run a bulk. Definitely not looking to lose any more weight! I started out at over 200 lbs because I gained a whole lot during my pregnancy.

I must update. I am no longer a hair under 5'9". They took my height at the doctor's because I wanted an exact number to do my BMI measurements with, lol. I am now a hair over 5'8".

I shrank. This getting older thing really bites.

I can't hang out in 5'9" threads anymore, lol.

Size 2 is still NOT FAT, though. That's crazy talk.

I'm 5'11 and currently around 185 lbs. my goal weight is 170 lbs. I'm currently in a size 14.

I'm 5'9.5" and looking to get back to 160-155 so I can fit into size 8 again! I'm medium to large size boned, depending on your scale, but I do currently have quite a bit of weight to lose to get back to that size 8. I'm guessing I could probably get to 150, but then I would start gaining muscle which would overtake any other fat loss.

I'm 5'8" and 140 is my goal. Last summer I got down to 138 and looked great but it was a lot of work. 15 pounds came back, so 140 is a pretty realistic goal. At that weight I am a solid size 6 which is fine. Sometimes a 4--never a 2. I think we are too tall for a size 2 no matter what we weigh!

I'm 5'7 currently at 147 and size 6-8. My goal weight is 115-120 and at that weight I'll be a 2-4. My lowest adult weight was around 110. I don't think that just because you age it is acceptable to conform to a higher weight. That is my personal opinion.

Im 5'8 and the lowest I've ever been was 180 lbs and I still felt big so my goal is closer the the 140 range

I'm 5'9 and my goal weight is 120. I'm currently at around 126-124 so I'm close!! But honestly might go below 120. I'm trying to lose this stomach fat and finally its going down!! I started off at 145. im a size 5 but that's because i have a big butt

Do you mind me asking what size jeans you wear now? My first goal weight is 170 I have never been thin (I am 5'9") always been 200+ since my pre-teens. My mom was my height and 127 and she looked sick. I know it all has to do with build and frame but I have no idea what my frame is..its always been covered in fat..so that is why 170 is my 1st goal weight

I wear a size 8. When I was 170 I could fit in a 8 but it was really tight. Now size 8 fits me perfectly. I don't think I have a large frame but I do have wide hips and a butt. I can't imagine being 127. Some people like the thinner look but I don't. I like my curves. I also don't like men that are too thin but that is just my preference.

I'm 5'9" and would love to get down to 140lbs, I'm currently 190lbs. I look OK at 180, I've also seen myself at 160, which was pretty small, but I know I could look and feel much better. Therefore, I'm going for 140 this year.

150-155, size 10 (I'm 1 pound away-YAY!). The qualifier is that I'm 63 years old. 30 years ago, the numbers were 20 pounds less. I've been as high as 185 and as low as 145 in my more senior years, but 150-155 is my healthy and maintainable range.

@criscat what does that mean? What do you term a "higher weight"? Is your personal opinion that everybody of your height should be in the region of your goal? Which is medically underweight, with a BMI of 18 and in the region of needs to seek medical treatment

I sincerely hope you don't have daughters if I'm reading your post correctly

By "higher weight" I mean higher than what you consider your personal best weight, the weight where you feel you are at your best, independent of age.

I am 5'9" with a boyish waist, bigger chest build. I am 2 months post partum and weigh 149. My goal is 135-138. That is where I look thin & feel fit. I think that would be a size 4 or 6. And sometimes I wear size 8 or 10 in dresses bc of the larger upper body.

I'm exactly 175cm (early 30s woman). After reaching my initial goal of 143lbs (65kg) in April (from a starting weight of about 172lbs or 78kg) and finding that my lower body measurements were still larger than what I'd been aiming for, I revised it to 128lbs (approx 58kg).

I'm currently about 136lbs (61.7kg). The weight is dropping gradually but steadily. I revised my weight loss rate down to 0.2kg per week, and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the ride.

I've been a serial yo-yo dieter since my teens (I am early 30s now), with my weight fluctuating between the equally unhealthy (for me) extremes of 110lbs (50kg) and 187lbs (85kg). This is the first time in my adult life where the process of losing weight has been about making a sustainable lifestyle change, focusing on self-care and good health both now and into the future, rather than punishment for failing to meet some very unrealistic expectations of myself. It feels amazing. And only having experienced how good it is, do I realise how awful and ineffective it was to be stuck in the old cycle of binging, restricting and overexercising for so long.

It's fascinating how different people look/feel comfortable at different weights. I'm 5'8" and currently 133 lbs. My goal weight is 130. My easiest weight to maintain with no food tracking, a healthy diet, and moderate exercise is 133. When I get lazy and overeat for too long I go up to 140-145 pretty quickly. Right now in U.S. JCrew sizes I'm wearing a 2 in shirts and a 6 in pants (pants are a wee bit tight). I will never wear less than a 6 in pants. At my smallest I've been 128lbs and still wore a 6 - that's fine with me! I'm a pear shaped woman with medium boobs, a small waist, and medium-big hips. I have low natural musculature and put on very little muscle even with heavy weight training. I have small bones (except hips!). I get a double chin at 150 and wear size 14 pants. At 160 I look obese. I'm so jealous of those of you with lots of natural musculature/bigger bones - I like the strong look.
