    I don't think being 5'9" and weighing 172 is anything to be embarrassed about. I'm 5'5" and weigh 175 and I don't feel like I'm huge but I know I'm not thin either.

    That is a normal BMI weight for someone your height. Our bodies do change a lot after a few kids & stress. I bet it won't take you long to loose the weight.
    Friend me if you'd like, the more support the better :)

    We're all here to support you, but 125lbs-130lbs is wayyyy too thin for your height! Your ideal weight should be around 155lbs for 5ft 11 in. :-)

    5'11" and 125-130lbs is not right.
    My wife is same height as you and rocks 165...nicely. Get some weight training and clean up the diet and I bet you will be pleased with just a few pounds gone.

    Man. I'm 5'7", and my goal weight is 170... for someone that is 5'11", that's pretty darn good. I definitely would not call it embarrassing.

    Hey! I am 31 and started at 174. I have lost 12 pounds so far. It's been over a four month period of time, but I want to do this as a lifestyle change and not a yoyo diet. I would love to be your friend and give each other support.
