I’m a female in my late 20s on the taller side (5’9). Trying to figure out a goal weight. Weighed 125 at my lowest which looked too small/weak/felt constantly hungry. At my highest probably during college I was high 150s. Right now I’m around 145. I have a “skinny fat” look after regaining weight after a period of restrictive eating last year. I feel like I looked my best around the 135 territory but not sure if that’s a sustainable weight for my height.

Can I get some advice from women on the taller side—what do you feel is a sustainable weight range for you? What’s your activity level like? If applicable how many calories are you consuming to support that weight range for your activity level?

Thanks!!

Hi female in late 20s here looking for advice on figuring out a fitness routine. Currently in a slight calorie deficit as well. I’m definitely new to strength training, but feel comfortable with treadmill workouts. This is my current intended routine:

-Yoga 1 class weekly
-Incline walk (12 incline, speed 3, 30 min) followed by 15 min intervals sprints 3x/week
-20 min strength with 8lb weights followed by 30 min incline walk 2x/week
-Incline walk only

I literally got worn out day 3 and couldn’t complete the sprints after incline walk. I did just start my period today though. Is my plan too focused on cardio or is this an appropriate plan? Appreciate any advice :)

I’m starting a calorie deficit and starting a gym routine based on workouts I enjoy. For the purposes of estimating my TDEE, is my weekly routine considered lightly, moderately, or highly active?

12-3-30 incline walk x 6 days a week
20 min upper body workout w 8 lb weights x1 day
20 min lower body workout w 8 lb weights x 1 day
15 min interval jog/sprints on treadmill x 3 days
Yoga class x 1 day

Hi everyone. I’ve been trying to overcome BED which began around 8 months ago for me after a period of restriction and unhealthy weight loss. After bingeing I am back to the weight I was before starting the cycle (still a healthy BMI but 10-15 lbs over where I felt my best as I have pretty low muscle mass). Working with a BED nutritionist now but looking for advice based on experience.

My goal is to enter a tolerable calorie deficit to lose weight and do some body recomp (adding in a bunch of gym time as a source of stress relief and also strength building/cardio). I’m a 5’9 female currently around 150 lbs with a goal of maintaining in the 135-140 territory. When the bingeing began I was mid to low 120s which is an unhealthy low weight for me. My goal is to get into the gym most days of the week. I’m guessing my maintenance calories when active are around 2100-2200. Plan to eat 1700 until I reach my goal.

My bingeing really comes down to emotional eating at this point. The binge cycles began out of true hunger but now I’m bingeing regardless of food intake. I really would like to shed some weight and stop the binges. I will eat 3 meals a day and always leave room for a sweet treat end of day to feel satisfied.

Any thoughts?

Question—when counting daily steps for a goal, should I include steps taken during cardio exercise? Or is step count only steps outside of intentional exercise? During my typical treadmill workout I usually take about 6k steps.

I’m 27 F 5’9. I’ve ranged 126-150 lbs due to fluctuations from restriction and binge eating. Trying to stabilize my eating patterns and establish a maintenance weight—tall (ish) women, what weight range do you feel is best for you and most sustainable?
