    Yep, it is confusing. I am 5'10" and weigh 168 pounds, but I wear 6-8 in skirts and pants, 4-6 in dresses, and Small and sometimes Extra Small in shirts. I have a low body fat % though and lots of lean muscle mass, though, which makes a BIG difference, as does my proportions (tiny waist, bigger hips and chest).

    when i wear skirts i go down to like a size 3-5 or something crazy like that. and i fit a size 8 jean but i tend to get the muffin top if its not the right brand. i want the lean muscle, thats what im lacking. i wont ever be a small jean because i work my legs from tennis and at the gym but i would love to slim down to being comfortable in a size 7..no matter what brand! haha besides that, im not really looking for a specif number although that helps with trying to accomplish my goal. i mainly want more muscle and to make a bikini look good.

    I'm 5'10 and I aspire to be 170. I had 128 lbs to lose and I have lost 74 to date. I am working to post pics of me. I haven't posted any in a forum before.

    What an awesome thread!!! I just joined and so far love this site!! I am 5'11" and weigh 190 lbs, which is the same as I weighed at 9 months pregnant. Looking to get back to 155. Was 145 pre-baby, but do not think this is realistic as I was very, very thin. Love the pics! Very inspirational!!! Congrats to all the awesome people that have reached their goals.

    I have some on my page and my blog. Around September I think I posted a comparison photo of before and during. I'm not in the after mode yet.

    I find it really interesting that at least a few of the girls who have posted in this thread so far have "after" weights that are higher than my "before" weight, but they look so fabulous! The girls who have said that they're in the 180s, I would never have been able to tell. And they're not the only ones - I've seen other girls on MFP who are tall, 180-190 and they look like supermodels. Why is this? Is it "body frame"? Amount of muscle? I did NOT look as good at 175 as these beautiful ladies who are 180! Or is my scale just busted? :)

    I haven't finished reading all the posts yet, so if I'm repeating something someone else said, I apologize...

    We tall girls can have a much greater range of healthy weights. For a short girl, having a more heavy skeletal structure might make a difference of 5 lbs. But for a tall girl, with longer bones, the weight difference (just from being big-boned or small-boned) can be over 30 lb. Same with muscle mass. My original weight loss goal was to get down to 150 lb, because that's the weight of a friend I admire. But my doc says that I have a lot of muscle & very solid bones, so I'm carrying almost that much weight just in lean muscle mass, so 175-180 is a much more realistic & healthy goal for me.

    Basically, tall women need to be guided more by how healthy they look & feel, rather than the weight the scale tells them.

    I'm 6' and as of last week weighed 230. My highest weight was 242.50. I'm trying. Goal weight is 170 and I'm really hoping to reach my goal by Oct 2012. Good luck to all.

    As many others have said here, people trip out when I tell them what I weigh, they're like NO WAY. The height helps cover up I guess.

    I'm 5'8 (not as tall as most of you but still considered tall for a woman) I've lost 50 lbs so far, still have another 50 to go!! But, you can tell a difference.

    I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 145. It is so great to see all the people who have had such success! Also, omg, where are all you tall girls in real life? I feel like I rarely see girls my height or taller!
