Calling all 5ft9 + Ladies

Hi yas,

I'm 5' 10 and trying to get down to 150lb, 8lb to go. I originally said I wanted to be 11stone/154lb but wanna keep going now as I don't feel I look rite yet. I want to try all the tight things on and have them look good

I am 5'10 and would like to get back to 160. I hit 200 and that was my wake-up call! My lowest adult weight was about 144 but I don't think that's sustainable for me and I was in my mid and late 20s when I was there. Now at 41, I think 160 would be a good and healthy weight for me.

I'm 5'10" and I aim to be 150lbs

jeseka619 · January 2012

I'm 5ft 9 and about 160 - lowest was about 125 in college (i have a very small frame). Would like to be about 135-140. Gotta a lot of work to do!!

heathersmilez · January 2012

5'8 and want to get back to 129-132 ideally (i.e. wedding day pic) but will settle for 135. Currently I'm a BMI of 21.5.

valwes04 · January 2012

I'm 5'8" and am currently weighing 194. My heaviest was 219 so I've lost some. My first goal is to get to 179 which I had been until I moved last year. Then my final goal is 165.

Mine is exactly the same! Well,really close anyway! I'm currently 194 and my goal weight is 164ish (160-165). My lowest weight about 3 years ago was 158 and very hard to maintain... In truth, I got lazy and gained back to 198

Boo...
But now, I'm on my way back down and am happily seeing results!

Mcoh01 · January 2012

Hello my fellow tall ladies! I am 6 feet tall, and at my heaviest I was 192. I'm working my way back to 165, which I haven't been at since high school (mayyybe college?). I think it's tougher to pick a 'magic' number when you're trying to incorporate strengthening and increasing muscle. I'm sure I'll fluctuate when I concentrate less on the weight loss and more on the strength. The important part is feeling great and being strong!

Oh forgot to say my BMI is currently 22.2. Any one who wants to can add me x

visiri · January 2012

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is about 145 lbs. I was in the 120s in my 20's but I was too skinny then. I'm in the 190s now - so I have about 50 lbs to lose.

shalae1 · January 2012

You'll look a bean pole!!!! TOOOOOO skinny, doll!

shalae1 · January 2012

I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is about 145 lbs. I was in the 120s in my 20's but I was too skinny then. I'm in the 190s now - so I have about 50 lbs to lose.

KimmieSue2011 · January 2012

I am 5'9. Currently weigh 161, Goal weight 150. In college I was a rower and weighed 163,but looking back at photos I was kind of chunky. Now I am 42, a mother, and I was 150 for several years, and due to some new thyroid medicine I started on, last year I gained 10 lbs and it's been very hard to lose. But I am trying hard because I have a bunch of nice work clothes that I can no longer button. Size 6 I will be there again!!

JinxRita · January 2012

I'm 5'9"ish (10" according to some) and currently weigh 279lbs. My goal weight is 170lbs, but I hope that if I can get there, I can get to maybe 150lbs...maybe. I want to see how my body looks and feels once I finally get down to that weight range so I can decide what is healthy for me.

hjfischer · January 2012

I am just shy of 5'10" and my true goal weight is 145. But I would be happy to fluctuate between 145-150.

ItsANewMe2012 · January 2012

Hi all,
I'm 5'9" currently 146.8lbs & i would like to get down to the 130's (135ish)

Sofithomas · January 2012

5ft 11 here! Currently about 138 pounds and want to get down to about 126 if possible, I like the leaner look plus would be great as i do some modelling

GdeVries · January 2012

I am 6 ft and am aiming for 183 lbs (83k), which will put me at just under 25 BMI. I think this is a reasonable weight for myself and not the lower weights shown in the BMI range of 20 -25. I'm big boned (seriously, not just a excuse) My wrists are 8 inch/ 21cm.

Anybody else 'big boned' AND tall?

I'm the exact same, 6' with 8" wrist. My top weight was 390 and I'm down 75 to 315. I just can't seem to picture myself at a weight that would fall within the normal BMI, so I set my goal weight at 240. We'll see how I picture myself once I get there.

Thanks for your response! What you have accomplished is amazing! Keep up the good work - how you feel is much more important than any number.

I've chosen a weight goal, but it's not my true goal. I want to be able to run a 5 mile marathon that is coming up. I want to be able to bicycle 30 miles and ENJOY it. I want to eat for nourishment and not only for enjoyment.

Anyway, good luck to you!

cafeldmann · January 2012

I'm 5'9", and my goal is to be a fit 150 lbs. (Although 149 sounds a lot nicer!)

sheresamae · January 2012

hi I am 5 10 Right now my goal is to be under 200 which i havent been since i was 19.. once i get there i will reevaluate but seriously doubt i will be trying for anything under 165 170.

SolidGoaled · January 2012

My bones must be made out of lead... I am 5' 9" and my goal weight is 178. I felt amazing at 199 last year at my lowest weight since high school. I am currently fighing a relapse and getting back into it (weigh 218 now).

Why are y'alls goals so little??? I just don't understand how someone my height could have a healthy portion of muscle and get down to the 150's... I weighed 155 in high school, and I was SKINNY FAT.

gdaykatie · January 2012

I'm 6 feet tall and my goal weight is 160!
It will take a while to get to that weight, though!

clsxplor · January 2012

I'm 5' 9" and 57 y.o. My goal in younger years was always around 145, now I'd like to reach 160. I guess the perspective changes when you get older maybe?

winbox · January 2012

I'm 5'8" and am just around 155 now. I would loooooooooooove to be tiny. alas

vashley84 · January 2012

Hi fellow tall ones!
I'm 5'9.5 and am currently 168 lbs.
I'd like to see if I can get down to 150, but over years of varsity sports and other athletics since I was young, it has been extremely difficult for me since I think I would essentially have to lose some muscle (obviously I have fat to lose too). Last time I was below 150, I actually stopped menstruating (i was also training really hard), so I'm not even sure if it's physically possible for me, but here's to trying!
Is anyone else having this difficulty due to body type/muscle??

AnAmericanGirl2 · January 2012

I'm 5'9 3/4" and my goal is 155 (for now). Heaviest was about 185, but I'm currently 163. I don't think my body will stay at much less than 155 but I could certainly try. Can't seem to break 163 though.
