Weighed myself this weekend and I'm at 175. I'm 5'9, any suggestions on how long and what to do to get back to a healthy weight?

EY2 - it's probably a little over. I think the recommended weight for that height is around 155. Obviously body types and muscle mass can impact what is healthy. I'd add some cardio in there too. It's pretty easy to fit a 30 minute jog into your day. Starting is the hard part.

Height and weight aren't the only factors. Need to estimate bodyfat %. 5'9, 175 can be chubby or can be pretty fit/swole for someone at ~10% BF. I'm assuming the former. Healthy weight all depends on your goals.

But for starters, HIIT a few times per week. Drink lots of water, don't eat late at night, weight lifting. You can drop a good amount of weight in ~2 months

Sounds like an appropriate weight

Sign up for HIIT classes and go 4 times a week. I was 175 lbs in December 2016 (5'9 as well) and now 148. Cut down all carbs from breakfast and all sugary stuff.

Really EY2? I'm 6'1 and same weight as op

Your only 6 pounds off of a healthy weight (unless you are Asian). Just gotta eat a little less and exercise more.

My SO is 5'10" 175 lbs, but it's all muscle. He even looks scrawny with clothes on. The scale only tells you so much. Had a bunch of friend have success with Keto and HIIT. Good luck, OP!

I'm 6'0 and bounce between 175-180. Remember than muscle weighs more than fat so you should focus more on eating healthy and working out than on your weight

No magic pill for this. Need to eat less and exercise more. I try to exercise 2 times while on the road and everyday at home. Lost quite a bit of weight after doing this. I also limit my alcohol intake to 3 days per week. Everyone is different though.
