If you are 5'9 or taller- what weight did you find comfortable?.. I am not trying to lose so much weight that I look like I need a sandwich.

    hahahah...love this..need a sandwich!! bahahah. Well.. I am exactly 5'9. When I weighed 155 that was perfect for me, that put me in a size 10 and I looked **** hot!! that being said, I looked and felt comfortable at 160 ish too.....I am now 180...and I am looking to lose 25 ish pounds, but may even stop at 20 lbs as I have a lot more muscle than I used too! Everyone so different, some girls at 5;9 would feel fat at 160, 165...good luck on your journey regardless! :)

    Funny- my good friend keeps telling me to 'have a snack'. I'm 5' 10' and 146. 1 lb to go! I'm certainly not too thin - my goal now is toning. smile:

    I am 5'10''

    I got to approx 168lb last time and prob needed to lose another 10lbs or so and tone up a little more.

    My aim will be about 160 and I will take it from there

    5'9" am aiming for under 150, 145 would be great, but don't think lower would work for me (or be possible!)

    hiya
    i am 5-9 and my goal weight is 153.5. I am not there yet so do not know if I am going to have to adjust it, but I am only 6 pounds off and it still seems ideal for me.

    I am 6'1" and currently 235lbs but I think 198lbs is comfortable for me. I know what you mean about not wanting to look like you need a sandwich lol too funny!

    I'm 5'10 and hoping to get back to 165-170. I was a size 10-12 and felt comfortable in my clothes.

    i'm 5'11. I believe my ultimate goal will be 160. That is what I weigh now, however, I plan on losing about 5-10 more pounds of fat and then gaining muscle back to about 160.

    hey :)

    I'm 5 feet and 10.5 inches. my doctor told me he would like to see me at 150. I'm aiming for 170-ish and the doc can take it or leave it- it's better then 340!

    I am aiming for 150, I don't remember what I look like there but I know when I was a lot lower (118)I did look like I needed some turkey, dressing and a pie, a sandwich wasn't going to cut it!

    I'm 5'9" and as of this morning was 174.6. My ultimate goal is 150 but right now I'm looking to get to 160. When I graduated HS I weighed 130 and definitely looked like I needed a sandwich or 6!!

    I'm 5'9", and before I started gaining weight, I was 165 pounds. I was very active- I felt and looked good.
    A lot of people use their BMI to decide what a healthy weight for them is (also, some people don't agree with that- to each their own). It's only one way of measuring, but it's a good way to get an idea to start.

    I am 5ft 11.5 inches...ok maybe 6ft tall and I just started P90X and the weight that I am most comfortable lifting is 10lb dumbbells..it really should be 8lbs but I could not find any 8 lbs at the time of purchase. However, do what feels comfortable for you. If you're trying to get lean, go light with more reps/sets..15-20 reps and 3 sets of each. I hope it helps..

    Have a fabulous day!

    5'10 and currently 153. My first goal weight was 150, but now that I'm so close I still feel quite large so I'm going to reset it to 145-150. It's so crazy seeing people around my height and weight and they look so much smaller then I do.

    I am 5'9" and currently weigh 153 & wear size 8 jeans/pants

    For me it's more about losing inches and toning than what the scale says, but I'm still shooting to get to 145-148 although I've been happy with my weight since I was about 160ish

    Me 5...currently 244...and 6ft tall..my doc says 210 is perfect because of my xtra large frame...um..who says that? Anyway, I would rather be under 200 lbs..I will take 199.9 as long as I'm under...

    Oh god I feel like I'm completely underachieving right now! I'm 5'9" right now and my goal is 180 and then reassess. I can't imagine myself ever getting lower than 170 without looking like a skeleton. I'm very big-boned (seriously, I am! My skeleton is huge! LOL) and I think I'd look skeletal if I went lower than 170. So I'm going to play it by ear. I'll truly be thrilled if I get into a size 10 or 12 - I think that would look very healthy on my build. But I'll play it by ear. :-)
