5 ft 9 ladies? What's your current / goal weight?

I'm 5ft 10 and my current weight is 184 but my goal/healthy weight is 155. I started at 224 in December. I tend to think 155 is too small for a 5ft 10 frame but even my doctor would like ot see me between 145-155 so that's my goal & oddly enough the goal that MFP set for me as well. Guess Dr. knows best. lol. Good luck!

ETA: I've got a picture of myself in my profile at 220 - the one where I'm wearing an orange dress. I think it's still there....

EATA: sorry, it's gone. But, the picture of me in the blue tank top with my best friend was taken when I was at my highest - 224.

I'm 5ft 9 and in my photo I'm about 212 (but I've gained about 8 lbs since then)

I have my goal set at 160 for now because I don' t think/believe that 150 is reachable for me, but I would love to try to get to 145 at some point (my highest was 245 and I would love to reach that 100 lb mark)

I am 5'11" and am currently at 164. In my profile pics, I was down to 155 in the beach pic and the bikini pic. I am trying to get back there. I would LOVE to be 145-150, but I am working towards the 155 for now.

Hi there:flowerforyou:

Congrats on your loss. 17 pounds! You're doing great.

I am your height. Check out the photo of me and my daughter crossing the finish line in my profile. That is what I look like at 150-155.

You can do it!

my mini goal weight is 170, I think I will be pretty happy when I get there, and from there I will take it ten lbs at a time to see what looks good on me. I have a pretty large frame so I dont think I would look good at any less than 150, I'd start to look a little sickly. I'm hovering right above 200 right now. The picture in my profile with my long hair blowing in the wind is my favorite picture, I was ignoring the scale at that point in my life but I think I was around 165-170-ish.

After seeing everyone's posts, I would definitely recommend finding out your frame size. Your doctor can help you figure it out. I have a small frame.

Does anyone know if the old wrapping your thumb and middle finger around your wrist trick is accurate for determining your frame size?

I am very jealous ladies, I am barely 5"2 and I mean barely, arguably 5"2. Sorry for posting but I keep seeing this title then I read it and I just could not resist telling you all how jealous I am.:flowerforyou:

I Love Love Love your profile pic! Soooooo Cute

First, congrats on your weight loss to this point, that is ALWAYS something to be PROUD of!!!! :flowerforyou:


I'm 5ft 8.5in.

April 9, 2009 -173
July 20, 2009 - 148 (1lb from my mini-goal)
Sept 1, 2009- GW 135 (lowest I can go to still remain in my healthy range)

This was not easy at times, but the longer I stuck to it and held myself accountable (with the help of this site) it is a lot easier than I could have ever imagined. Now it almost feels like 2nd nature and I'm not having to work as hard as before at figuring out nutrition and portion sizes. Of course that TOM can still be a struggle...thank goodness for frozen yogart,baked lays, and lots of fruit :happy:

I workout about 6 days a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day (like to put in about 1.5 hr a day ). Working out did not happen right away, I started out just concentrating on the weight loss and then the middle of May I started the Slim in 6 program and loved and saw results, so I got addicted to working out, it makes me feel really good about myself.

Now the SI6 is over I rotate different things into my workout walking 60 mins (started jogging, but just hurt my knee so that has stopped me for a few days), 30 day shred, turbo jam, SI6,and Wii fitness coach...I get bored easily:yawn: I want to note also that I have always hated working out until recently...In high school, I WALKED the mile run with a bag of chips and a soda, so I have come a long way from that girl.


I have some pics in my profile but they are a few years old, but I tried this website that will give you a virtual look , it is www.weightview.com, you have to have and/or open a facebook account, but worth it b/c it gives you an idea what you could look like 20,30,40,50lbs lighter.

Goog Luck:drinker:

Reading some of these makes me wonder if I might have my goal weight set too high. :P
But I think I'll still play it by ear and see what I look/feel like when I get to 160
