If you are a 5'9 woman or taller....

I'm 5"9 in the morning, 5"8 in the evening lol (good old gravity) but I'm going to comment anyway haha. I started off 241lbs, I'm currently 187lbs and aiming for about 170lbs (size 12-14 uk) I don't want to be thin, I love my bum and curves and I think it will be easier for me to maintain.

When I get under 135lbs, being 5'9" I completely loose my toosh and YES I look like I need to eat a cheeseburger.

I'm 5'10", and I'm currently about 155 lbs. I'm looking to get down to 140-ish, if I can, but I'd be happy at 150 even.

Good luck to everyone!!

I'm 5'9" and my GW is 200lbs. I started at 280lbs and am currently in the high 240's. I am aiming for that 200lbs mark, but once I get there I will reassess my goals.

I am 5'10
When I go married (young) I was below 125 (Bit of a hard body stick)
First Kid in my twenties130 (I flunked Gym never athletic in school and still never excersized)
Second kid now in thirties 140 (appreciating my height, after years of being teased, I hide a baby bump at least a few extra months)
Third kid mid thirties 145 (too busy just microwave what ever came in a package no activities other than cleaning up)
Turn 40 living over 150 It eams each kid I gained 10 pounds (never to look back).
I am tall and BMI always healthy.
My same height hubby (bad BMI but different body type) and I have developed some sedentary routines too tired after work kids etc.
Ice cream before bed. Different wines and liquers along with learning new (fatting) foods to make from scratch. Becoming more home bodies. Plus still no excersize.
So I will never be pre kids or even where I was in my 30's but I can try to be my best.
So my goal is to maintain a healthy bmi and have a positive impact on those around me. (HUBBY PLEASE READ)
I have been here just a few days :flowerforyou: I am excited for the possibilites.

Hey yall, I am 5 foot 9.5 inches. I currently weigh 174.5 lbs and would like to get to 150-155. It feels like a long way to go but for YEARS I maintained between 150-155 and a solid size 8 and looked and felt great. So I know I could do it again. The smallest I ever got was 142, and while I didn't think I looked like I needed a sandwhich, it was not a sustainable weight. I was eating very little and at the end of a 30 lb loss on weight watchers. The minute I went into maintenance mode and started living my life again (so to speak), I gained 8 lbs, but then stayed at that 150 weight for a long time.

I'm 5'9" and currently 178 lbs size 11/12, however am aiming for 155 lbs (size 7/8).

At my heaviest (a few weeks ago) I weighed in at 186 lbs, and at my lowest I hit 147 lbs in late 2006, but couldn't maintain it .

I'm 5'10" and my lowest was 160 and everyone told me I looked anorexic.

I'm 6' and my 1st goal is 180 lbs. I started in 2005 at 324 lbs. I'm currently 195 lbs. Once I get to 180 lbs I will reevaluate my body and overall health and decide if I want to focus more on losing weight or just toning to change my body's composition.

I am 5'9 and my goal weight is 138lbs. That's what I weighed before I started having kids and I miss it. My SW was 151 and my CW is now 143. I'm already feeling so much more comfortable and wearing clothes in my closet I haven't worn in years :happy:

I'm 5'9". My goal at the current time is 165. I've always been "big boned" and the last time I weighed that much was well over a decade in middle school.

If I can ever get the hang of this, I'll reassess when I get closer.

5'10" here and my goal is 150. I weighed that 5 years ago and it was good. The only difference this time around is that I am running alot. I don't know if 150 will be the same as it was last time. We shall see!

Edited to say: at 150 I was an 8 in pants and a 4/6 in dresses and a small/medium in tops

Wow I am only 5'7 1/2" and at 160 I am comfortable and am hoping for an ultimate goal of 155, if I go lower cool. I am a medium build and have a pear shape. According to the BMI I am 0.4 lbs overweight. I need to firm up but look lean enough.

For someone who is 5'9"-5'10" I would say 160-165 lbs for a small frame, 170-175 lbs medium frame and 180-185 lbs for a large frame. This is taking into consideration that you will likely do some strength training and put on some muscle and muscle weighs more then fat.

Every time I see a thread like this I find it so fasinating how we can be the same height and in different sizes at the same weight. It just really shows me that placing such an emphasis on a number is such a bad idea.

I'm 5'9 and currently 165, in a size 8-10. I would like to get to a size 6, so whatever weight that puts me at, I'm in.

That being said, I'm pretty happy where I'm at.

That is a very healthy outlook on things. This made me smile.

BTW at 160 I wear a size 9 shirt, size 10 dress and size 11-12 pants.

We are all built differently and are need to find what weight works for us as individuals within the healthy weight range.

This is so very true! The number on the scale really doesn't mean that much. A person's body composition, frame size, etc really determines everything! I'm 6'4" , 185 lbs, medium frame. Even at my heaviest, my upper body was very slim, but I carry my weight in my butt and thighs. My goal is 180 lbs (almost there!) and I think that should bump me into a size 10 in jeans.
