I was just curious to know what your goal is if you are around 5 9? That is my height and I'm eager to know others opinions of what weight looks good on them or what they are aiming for... :smile:

    Thanks... keep it going. I find it amazing that the same weight on the same height can look so different on another person.

    Why not pick a goal weight that will cause you to fall into the "normal" BMI? You could start at the highest number if you have a lot to lose, then re-evaluate later to see if you actually want to go lower.

    For someone of 5'9" I see that 129-169 is considered "normal"

    Thanks everyone... I was 187 and overweight, I am now down to 154.5 but still not comfortable. I used to be 135-140 and still had some meat on my bones, but was happy! I believe the scale for 5 9 is 125 to 169, so I am healthy now, just not happy.

    I'm 5'6" and my goal right now is 150. I might try for 140, but I wanna see how 150 feels first. =)

    I'm 5'9.

    When I had my "body pod" done, they said a good weight goal for me would be 145-147. That put me at a good fat percentage for my body, which includes bone density. I used to be that weight in my early-mid 20s and it was hard. It took more effort then I would like to put in again, so my goal is 160. Maybe 155 once I get to 160. I feel good, look good, and am very confident at 160. 160 is a comfy/loose size 10 jean for me - Size 8 dress.

    I was 115-120 before I got pregnant with the first one. I think that's probably not enough weight. It wouldn't look right on me now.

    I'm 5'10" and aiming for 170, near the top of my BMI range. I also have a larger frame. I might re-evaluate once I get there and can maintain that weight. My lightest weight was 140 but that was too skinny--I would probably ultimately go for 160.

    The normal weight range for someone 5-9 is anywhere between 130-170 I am going for 175 because I got some booty that will never go away. :laugh:

    You need to go for a weight you feel comfortable with. You can't always go off of charts or what others do because we are all different.

    I am 5'8" and 170. I want to stay between 165 and 170. I have a lot of muscle, in fact 132lbs of my 170 is muscle. So for me, I'm happy at 170. I even have people telling me that I need to stop losing weight. :bigsmile:

    Good luck. :drinker:

    Your body is different than everyone else's so you need to just be comfortable with where you're at. I am 5'9" and there was a time I was trying to go for 150 cause I had it stuck in my head that that's the image everyone wants. I will tell you when I weighed 160, even when I weighed 170, people told me I needed to stop, that I was starting to look like I was doing drugs. I was happy at 160, even at 170 as well. Heck, right now I just wanna get down to 200.

    I'm 5' 9" and going for 145. I used to be 230, and I've got only a little more to go--I feel like I can do it if I can keep off the ice cream :)

    I'm 5'8" and I'm aiming for 138 because it's the last weight at which I was really comfortable and happy with my body before I started gaining. I've been as low as 110 and spent most of my late teens and early 20s around 121 and it was honestly too low. 164 would put me at a normal BMI so I'm going to just see how things go and anywhere between 164 and 138 would make me happy.

    I am 5' 9". I have a large muscular frame so my goal is 170. It was originally 180 because when I lost 50 lbs about 15 years ago and went from 230- 179 I felt amazing. So basically my ultimate goal is 170 but if I am feeling happy at 180 that is where I will stay. Like everyone else here my problem is maintaining the loss.... and I ain't doing this one again.

    Don't worry so much about the number, although it is easier said than done go by how you feel and the energy you have.

    Good luck!
