5'9" - what's your happy weight?

[Fabuleuse]

As the title says - I'm 5'9" and at the moment I'm aiming for about 10 stone 7 to 10 stone 10 but it's been a long time since I've been anywhere near that weight! I know everyone is different but I just wanted an idea of where other 5'9"ers feel happy. I'd say I'm medium frame - don't carry excess fat well though - get back fat, double chin, c section overhang etc. I was bang on 10 stone for about 5 minutes aged 21, which is the lightest I've been as an adult, but I went really flat chested and hated it. Currently 11 stone 10 and a smallish size 14. Could maybe do with size 12 jeans depending on make as my 14s are falling down a bit. I was 15 stone on 1st Jan so I'm very pleased with my progress this year.

I am a smidge over 5’9” and I agree 10.7 would be ideal. I have been 9.7 to 14.7 and I am currently 12. I was very happy with my wedding weight which was around 10.3 but it is in the cusp of what I like and feeling too thin.

Plan is 11.7 by Christmas and spend next year losing the last stone.

Well done! I'm 5' 8". Was nine and a half stone when I married, but had been very busy organising wedding and it was unsustainable unless on a permanent diet. I'd say 10 and a half.

I'm almost 5'10''. I am losing weight after DS2. I have two weights in my head:
67kg (a bit over 10.5 stone) - my 'dream' weight (weighed this briefly when I got married)
70kg (a bit under 11 stone) - my realistic goal. At this weight I can wear my size 10/12 clothes.

I have currently reached 73kg (down from 81kg) so am gradually getting there. Intermittent fasting is my friend.

I'm 5' 8" and my happy weight as a 45 year-old is about 9.5 stone, I was 7 stone 11 up until my mid-20s, about 8 stone 10 after children in my 30's.

Perimenopause has fucked me somewhat and I'm about 10 stone 3 now, need to realise I can no longer eat and drink what I please with impunity!

You’ve don’t really well in your weight loss.
I am an inch shorter than you, and my happy weight is 10 stone. I go flat chested at less than that, which worries a younger me, but i I wouldn’t care now!
I am currently a very well toned 13 stone, and interestingly look better than the unfit 11 stone I was a few years back. I could do with a stone of my torso, but I’m not looking bad.

I'm 5'8", currently the heaviest I've ever been at 13 stone. 11 10 is a nice weight for me. I wish I could actually lose weight 😪

I’m 5’8” and currently 11st 7lbs , I really want to get down to 11 stone but I’m not sure how to get there . I walk ( actively ) for at least 75 minutes per day , ride for at least 2 hours a week and do Pilates . I watch what I eat like a hawk and can’t shift an ounce .

I'm 5'10 and weigh 10st 10lb and feel fine, really anywhere between 10.5 to 11 stones .

Your target weight sounds about right and well done with the weight loss so far

I'm 5'8" and my happy weight is 10st, although I do tend to plateau fairly happily at 10st 2lbs.

I'm 5'8. My dream weight would be 10st but I would need to basically devote my life to hard exercise and no grub to get there and maintain it, but life is too short!

Currently 12st and desperate to get back down to 11st. That would make me happy!

I'm 5' 10" and currently 10.2 but I feel huge! My happy weight (and pre kids weight) was 9.5 which is slightly underweight but it just fits my frame. I never looked too skinny but now I have wobbly bits all over the place and I just feel slower and heavier, although age may have something to do with that...

I am equally inspired to lose weight and depressed reading these weights. I'm 5'9 and weigh 14.5st. I was aiming for around 12.5 st as a goal but maybe I am kidding myself that is healthy. I'm 50, do you think age makes a difference to how much I can realistically lose?

I'm 5ft 8.5 and used to be 10st but when I went down to 10st recently (from 11st) I could see my ribs above my breasts!

I think it depends on your age and also build. I have a very big frame and am really thin at 10 st. When I was 40 it was ok but now at 50+ 10st10 looks much better. Weight doesn't shift from bottom half and top half just looks gaunt.

My rule of thumb is, can you keep to that weight without being really miserable and on a constant diet of self denial? That's no life! Good luck.

I'm 5ft9 and my happy weight is 65kgs which is about 10 stone 5 I think. I'm currently 11 stone, but not doing anything to lose weight except moan about it I've been 88kgs and 60kgs as an adult. Wide shoulders, big boobs, wide hips and chunky thighs...

Am so happy to finally see one of these threads about me!

5'9 and happy weight probably around 10 stone 6 or 7.
Am size 12.

Am couple pounds over that at the moment-but starting tomorrow am being virtuous. currently have glass of wine in hand....

5ft 9 and if I go below 11 and a half stone I look ill. Dont understand this. I was 11 and a half stone when I fell pregnant with ds 19 months. I put 5 stones on despite not over eating and walking miles every day. This has happened with all my pregnancies. I'm currently 12 stones and the excess is on my stomach.

I’m 5’8.5 and probs looks best around 11 stone. I’ve been 10 stone, which looked very slim, but felt like my body was fighting against it the whole time.

I’m 5’9” and about 10st feels about right to me. I’m a little over that now, but not much. I’m about a size 12.

5ft10 and I’m currently 10st10
I feel a bit Podgy and would like to be 10st5, but I realise they’re vanity pounds.

I’m lowest in recent times was 10st and I was a bit too thin then.

I'm 5'11" and weigh 10st6lb. I wouldn't mind losing a pound or two but I think this is my body's happy weight, as I don't lose or gain very easily.

I'm 5ft9 and happy weight is about 11 stone for me which is a size 14. I have huge boobs which only went down 1 cup size when I lost over 2 stone so I don't like to look too top heavy which I would if I was much thinner than a 14

I'm 5'8 and currently 10st8. Would love to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 9st8 in 3months for my son's first birthday but right now I eat so much sugar and carbs as I'm exhausted cause the little bugger doesn't sleep!

I'm 5'9" and have been every weight from 10st to 22st 4lbs. 10st was just too thing for me. I looked awful.

I am 12st 11lbs at the moment and I want to lose weight, BUT I think that's largely because of the number on the scale, because I look fine I think. I go to the gym and have a decent muscle mass.

I think I'm best at about 11st 6lbs or there abouts.

I'm 5'10 and 10st 2lb, much like you @Niyamamama !!

I'm also feeling a bit wobbly..think my ideal weight would be about 9st 8ish. Feeling heavy and not very nimble at the moment even though this (give or take a few lbs) is the lightest I've been

Also well done on the weight loss this year @Fabuleuse !!
