    6 foot 1 inch here. Currently at 135 and think I'll stop and maintain at 130...I have a small frame though :)

    I'm 5'9", 205 lbs and wear a size 11 shoe. I wear a size 18 and have a goal weight of 145 lbs. My lowest adult weight was 160, I wore a size 12 (almost 10) and I felt fantastic and could have probably lost about 10 more pounds comfortably. Congrats on all who have lost and good luck on your future weight loss.

    6' checking in. Right now I'm hovering around 215. I have no idea what my goal size would be, but my ideal goal weight is 165-175lbs. I just want to keep losing and finally get under 200!

    I started at 208 and when I got under 200 and stayed there for a bit, it felt SO good. Good luck to you!

    Also, I think tall ladies take much longer to change pants/dress sizes. I took some pictures wearing the same clothes I was wearing in pictures of me at a heavier weight. It was really shocking. I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was, simply, a huge motivator to keep going. Good luck fellow 6-footers (and those close to that mark, too!)

    I'm 6'2" and aiming for approximately 185. I'm at 205ish right now, but to be honest I don't weight myself that much. I'm mostly aiming to have a noticeably less jiggly body if that makes sense. I'm a 16 pant size right now...would love to get back down to a 12 (the size Iw as when I weighed 185).

    Just keep working and you can always revise your goal. Charts with ideal weights exist but it varies so much person to person that it is better to focus on what makes you feel healthy and happy.

    P.S. There are studies that show that BMI is a flawed way to measure obesity, so I wouldn't use that as a gauge.

    I always find it interesting to read what sizes people wear, since it's so individual and based on where you carry your weight and all.

    I'm 5'10" with a larger build (broad shoulders, big hands, size 10.5/11 shoe, broad hip bones.) I'm currently 222 lbs and a size 14-18 depending on the clothing brand and cut/style. Even at a lower weight though (the lowest I recall being at this height was when I was in high school at about 165 lbs...and I thought I was fat then, ha!) I was still wearing a size 12. Currently my goal weight is 190 and I figure that I'll go from there once I reach it.

    Definitely would be willing to add friends from here if anyone wants. Good to have some tall girls on my newsfeed!

    Oooo - I'm in. 6'1" and I'm currently at 170lbs but I would like to be closer to 155 which is where I maintained for most of my 30's. If I can't lose it (and I've made no significant progress in 2 months) I would settle for rearranging the current weight.

    I think I win the shoe size competition: women's size 14, men's 12.5

    PS - I'm new to the community section and would add any friend requests.

    From how you're describing yourself I'd say we have very similar body types :) I'm 6'1", currently 200 and a size 10, at 185 I'm an 8 and that's a great place to be for me. At 175 I'm a size 6 with visible stomach definition

    I'm 5'10, size 11 shoe, medium frame (? I guess...) and I don't have a "goal weight". When I first joined MFP, I set a goal of 130 (after not weighing myself for years, I gained some weight in college and ended up around 155 pounds). Three years down the line, 130 is neither feasible nor desirable for me. I got down to about 136 at my lowest and didn't like how I looked (and I was hardly skin and bones-- I've been lifting heavy 3 days a week for about 2 years now), so I'm emphasizing eating to build strength now. I think 145-150 (with a low BF%) is sort of my "target" at this point.

    Basically the same weight and only slightly taller. I wear a US 8 on the bottom and a 10 or 12 on the top. Most of my dresses are size 12 due to boobs.

    Height and frame size matter, but proportions and body composition can make a big difference too.
