Seeking help from tall women roughly 5'8''-5'10''!!!

skinnyinnotime

I'm 5ft 8.5in and currently at 147lbs my goal is 143lbs...which if i ever get to will probably change to 140lbs to give my some leverage when i change from losing to maintaining! I'm a medium build.

My hubby keeps saying he doesn't know what i'm aiming for as i look slim now, hey what does he know?!

I'm 5'10" and I currently weigh 160. According to the "wrap your fingers around your wrist" test, I'm a small-frame, but according to a calculator using my wrist length, I am a medium frame. My goal is to be 145 lbs

I'm 5'8 started out at 180 and am currently at 159/160(I keep toying with that line and I'm sick of it!)

My current goal weight is 150.. but I'm thinking that I'll re-evaluate at that point and then decide if I want to go down to 140. Not too sure what my frame size is but I know that this is not the right weight for me.

I'm 5'9" (medium) and my goal is 150! I have just always wanted to be a buck fifty! but we will see when I get there if 1) I like it and 2) it is easy to maintain or not. I am wearing a size 14 (192) now and have never been smaller then a 10. and I was a 10 at 162lb. Seems like it takes us taller girls longer to drop a size. Anyone else find that? Great post btw!

I'm 5' 8.5", with a 6" wrist (so that puts me at a "small" frame, right?) also have a 34" underbust and wear an 8.5-9.5 shoe (3 pregnancies will do that)

Goal weight range is 138-145. It's starting to matter less because my body fat is already at 19.8% calipered; there's only so much more to lose.

What matters THE MOST to me is getting my waist-to-hip ratio (WHR: waist at narrowest point divided by hips at widest point) down as low as possible. "Perfect" or ideal for my race is .7. Right now my circumferential (measurements >around< waist & hips) is .716. My frontal WHR (take a picture of yourself facing forward and measure waist & hips across) is .66 which is exactly the same as supermodel Marisa Millers Most Playboy centerfolds have a WHR of .68-.7.

I'm not sure what frame size I have. I'm 5ft 9" wrist measures 6.25inches (I always thought I had HUGE wrists and big frame). Anyway I'm 157lbs and aiming for 135lbs. Can't wait till I get there! I felt so good at that weight

Hello tall lady. =D

I have been hovering between 165 and 175 now for two years. I don't expect myself to drop much more in terms of 'weight' since I also do a lot of strength routines. I want to be fit, not thin.

Between 165 and 175 is where I'm comfy. I workout like there's no tomorrow, but I can't get under 165 no matter how hard I try.

I'm 5'8 and my wrist is about 5.7 inches and it's 27 around my ribcage, I have a very tiny frame. I still look healthy at 120, plus since I'm in my teens it's fine to be a bit lower if it's from a fast metabolism. I want to get to 116 but if my friends say I look too thin I'll put on some muscle so I look healthier
It not only depends on your height and your frame but also how much of that is muscle!

Yay! tall girlies! lol

Hey girl, I'm 5ft 8inch currently weighing 197lbs with a small frame and I want to get to 140lbs. I also have really dense bones which adds pounds apparently but none the less, I am still a big girl but there's a skinny minnie inside X3

I get the same thing too where people tell me that I'm fine at the weight I am. Because we're blessed with height, we look slimmer but we still aren't exactly healthy. And it's not about what they see it's about how we feel. So if you wanna lose weight then do it for you. Unless you wanna be like 120lbs then no lol

Just commenting on the question of being "big boned" or having a "large frame." When I weighed over 220 pounds and had a lot of weight to lose, I just looked at the "charts" and said to myself: "Yes! You are 5'8 1/2 inches, size 9 1/2 shoe," you are "large boned."

Well, it turns out, this is not true. I am long boned, but not "large boned." Either I am medium or small -- hard to say.

My point is this: You can initially aim for the weight on the charts under "large boned." If that helps you, aim for that weight range. When you get there, revise, if necessary.

Thinking of yourself as "large boned" when you have a huge weight-loss goal is NOT a bad thing. It helps you get to where you should be to be fit and healthy. Nothing wrong with that!

Vegakaren91

I am 5'9 and I used to weigh 140. I had a baby and now I weigh 189. I goal is to weigh 150! I don't know if that helps1

Im 5'10" and currently at 160. Ideally I would feel I look and feel best between 150-155. I think it really depends on your body fat. right now, even at 160 there is too much belly fat and butt fat. Im fine with a weight being higher if I tone it up and look muscular. I try not to use weight as my main indicator because with females, we can really fluctuate with hormones. Track your measurements, and go by how you feel and look. Make sure your blood tests say you are healthy too and your set!

I am 5'9 - Bigger frame, and lifting in the gym, so starting to build some gorgeous muscles..... and over 50!! Currently 215lbs

My target is 185 to 190 lbs - any less than that and I suspect I will start looking too "wrinkly and gaunt" in my face - so I would rather carry a few extra pounds and not look emaciated and gaunt.....

Symphony6

I'm 5 '8.5" and I have a large frame (7" wrists, size 10 shoe, hands bigger than my husband who's 6', you get the idea )
I'm going for a goal weight of 165, as that is the top end of my healthy weight range. After that, we'll see.

MommaToFour

I'm 5'10" and my goal weight is 140. I'm ok being just a little above that as long as I know it's due to muscle and not fat! I'm probably a medium build.

annabellj

5 8 currently 163. large frame, 8 in wrist. but i felt good at 150ish. but my body doesnt really want to get there now. havent lost anything even inches in a couple months but i did "find" my abs this morning!(see profile pic). so im pretty happy. have a lot of toning to do and dont care really if I lose any more. I was bigger at 155 than I am now according to my jeans that I wore three years ago that are now loose in the waist.

GabyG69

I am 5'8' and my goal weight is 165 for now... I've never weighed less than 178 and I feel like 165 would be right for me.. I don't want to be "skinny" but somewhere in between skinny and thick. I want to feel comfortable. Once I reach 165, I'll make the appropriate changes depending on how comfortable I feel at that weight... Oh and when I talked to my doctor, she said 165 was right for me... I hope this helps

j77r68

I am 5'10.5 and have a large frame. My goal weight is 170, My lowest weight was 163 years ago but I didn't look well. If I laid down all you seen were my hip bones( not too sexy,if you ask me) I have large hips so a little cushion will be okay. But it's eachperson's own preference to what weight they are happy att. As long as you don't make yourself look like you have an eating disorder which can easily happen

j77r68

One thing though because it has been so long since I've been close to my goal weight that I find it hard to picture in my head what I will look like. If there are any ladies that are 5'10 or so with a large frame around 170-180lbs. I would love to see pics. Message me if you don't mind
Thanks in Advance

rachelw16

I'm 5'9, small frame, and my current weight (which I'm maintaining) is 125 lbs

Shannonigans84

I'm 5'10" with a medium frame. My goal weight is 150. My lowest adult weight was 155 but I was trying for my daughter while losing weight. So I'm sure 150 is obtainable. I don't have boobs or a butt..if I did I'd be quite content where I am at 164. Good luck reaching your goals!

A_Fit_Mom

I am 5'8 and I have a smaller body frame. So my ultimate goal is 135, but I will be happy in the low 140's. That is my goal, because I was there before I had two kids. (even at that point after my first child). I know that I am a size 6 in the low 140's and I am happy with that. I just want to get down to 135 and get really toned...which may bring me back up to the 140's. We will see.

GloriaPenguin

I'm 5'8 and I don't really know what my frame is... but my aim is 140 lbs. I'll get there, see how I like it, and if I'd like to be smaller then I'll get smaller

cccgrillo

I am 5'9" and my goal weight is 150. My current weight is 160, been stuck for sometime now, but I have been down to 145 and felt amazing! I am not happy w my current size and would like to be a size 8 or smaller in jeans. It's a superficial goal, I know, but when I have a closet full of 6 and 8 and can't fit in them, and do not want to go buy a new wardrobe, I will keep that as my goal! I also need to tone up around my core, which I am hoping will come w clean eating.

rukshanthi

I am 5'8", small frame, and my goal weight *right now* is130 - small goals are achievable! I'm 136 (size 7ish) but was 147 (size 8-9) when I first joined MFP:) My final goal weight will probably be125, a size 3. Good luck achieving your goals - remember: small steps will take you far :flowerforyou:
