    I'm only 5'6" but at 140 I just put on a size 6 jeans. Normally I'm an 8 now (was a 16) but it was nice to button a 6. No desire to be a 6 though.

    Thinking 135 is too thin for you 5'9" ladies. Guess it depends on your age. If in 20's or early 30's maybe but in your 40's or older it is really hard to maintain.

    I started off at 186 and pushing out of a 16 due to huge stomach. Lost 50 and got a tummy tuck and I've been bouncing around for a year and trying to land at 135 and stay close to that.

    I'm 5'9 also and goal is 170. I started at 295, so I've got a LONG way to go yet, but slowly and surely....I am getting there!
    Nice to see that's the choice for most of us this height.

    5'9" 155

    When i first started losing weight (before MFP) I weight very close to 200.. and I thought it would be a miracle if I ever hit 175.. and then I did and was like woahhhh maybe my body frame is smaller than I thought haha.

    Goal weight about 145-147. When people say the last 10 is the hardest.. i am definitely going through that. It has been hard to stay motivated, but I have given up excuses.. so i am interested to see what happens!

    Thank you! You WILL get there, trust me! Now I'm not concerned with the number on the scale, I'm focused on gettting FIT! So I know now that I'm getting serious with strength training (I did all cardio to lose the weight) the scale might go up a bit. I'm using inches to determine progress now instead of the scale! :)

    How long did it take for you to reach your goal?

    I'm at 135 now at 5'9" and trust me, for my body it is nowhere NEAR to thin. I haven't taken a pic since 135, but my profile pic is at 140, and I look pretty much the same.

    I started back in October of 2010 at roughly 190 lbs., and was at 140 by May 2011. Since then I just maintained my weight and stopped MFP for a while, but now I'm back, got down to my goal of 135, and am now working on getting FIT! I want to look better in a bikini at 30 than I did in my 20's, do that's my new goal :happy:

    I am 5'8.5" and started at 230 as my highest. I am now at 197 and was exstatic at reaching my first goal of 200 lbs. I got a bit off track for a week or 2 but am now back into it. I would love to be at 170 by June but over all I want to be 140-145. My totally out there goal is 128 (what I was when I got married), but I have to have realistic goals first right?

    I'm currently at 218 and am looking to get down to about 190. The last time I did this 10 years ago, I couldn't crack 200 pounds so we will see.

    That is excellent and so important!
    I have the exact same goal - once I'm at 140 - I will slowly increase strength training- until 135 where my goal will be to "tighten"
    lol
    You look great

    WOW so I'm reading all of this and my goal is to be at 200, wear about a size 14.... guess I'm definitely the odd one out, but anything less than 180 and I lose my curves that I love

    I'm 5'9" and my goal is 170lbs. I started off at 280lbs. I say 170, but that's just to see what it looks like when I get down there. If I feel I need to lose more once I get there, I'll reevaluate later on. :)
