5'10" ladies what's your goal?

Juliane1986

I'm 5/10 and fluctuate ate the moment between 140 and 142.8. I am not focusing so much on the scale now as I am body fat % and what I see in the mirror. I'm increasing my strength training to tone up and build muscle. I would also like to lower my current body fat percentage which is 19.9% to approximately 16 and then go from there in terms of my appearance. At this point though my weight can fluctuate on the scale as I continue to either lose some fat and gain muscle. I'll check back in once I reach a happy level and let you all know what it ends up at.

I'm 5"11 and aiming for about 160 at a total minimum
At the moment I am 181 and am in no way fat or overweight.
I have quite a meduim/athletic build though

minus40

5'10", large frame & aiming for 175 lbs... lowest I've been in the past 10 years is 180 and I felt pretty good. Just want to be a little closer to a "normal" BMI. Good luck! Feel free to add me... Nice to befriend people with similar height, weight and goals

I am aiming for about 140lbs. I was 130lbs at my lightest but my body has changed a lot since then so I would be happy between 140-150lbs. =-)

I'm 5'10 and set my goal at 200. I have a large build, big feet, wide hips/shoulders.

What I want more than anything is to be active and healthy. When I get to my goal I might still be considered "fat" by the world, but I will know I feel and look good to myself and that is what counts!

I hope. :P I weigh 316 right now, I just started working on myself this week.

She said exactly what I was going to say

I'm 5'11" and I'm also aiming at 150. They health range for me is 130-170, so I'm going for the middle.

naomi_clarke1987

This website is FABULOUS & helps you find if your goals are attainable and healthy. You can calculate it based on your current Body Fat Percentage (also has a link at the bottom of the page to help you figure out that number). I found my goal was totally off base. I had 25% body fat at 5'10" and 181. I found that my lean body mass was 136 lbs (the weight you need to be to keep organs functioning, bones strong, etc) and to be at 20% body fat (in the high fitness/low athlete range) I will need to lose 11 pounds & weigh in at 170 lbs.

I'm 5'9" and my GW is 140. I must have a small frame, because everyone says my wrists are tiny and I'm always having to punch extra holes in my watchbands and bracelets. I'm somewhere around 152-153 right now, and I know that's a lot of people's GW, but on my frame, that much weight is still giving me a muffin top (my whole family gains in the stomach). Boo! I was hoping I could stop at 150, and honestly a lot of people at higher weights on this forum look a lot better than I do!

I'm doing lots of crunches and cardio and toning trying to get rid of the fat, and I'm just starting to be able to see a little bit of hip now. I'll have to see how 140 looks on me and then see if that's good enough. At one point in time, I got sick and stressed out and stuff and dropped to 125, but then people started asking me if I was ok and you could see my ribs and I looked really unhealthy. So I know 130 is way too low.

I think the message here is go for whatever weight looks best for your body type. I will let you know how things turn out at 140

Goofy076

I am 5'10 and shooting for 170-180... I want to stay healthy fluffy

SKP1986

145-150, but I am going to take it ten pounds at a time once I hit 170 or so. I haven't been under 290 in my adult life, so I have NO idea what I will look like at a 'good' weight and have no interest in looking like I'm starving.

dmkgirly82

I have a very large frame.. I still want to rock some thickness so my goal is 190... Sounds heavy still, but I looked sickly at 180

aimibean

I'm 5'11" & my goal is 148lb.

Kirsty_UK

I'm 5'9" (was sure I was 5'10" for ages, but apparently not!).

I'm not really sure what my goal is. I remember being stable at 10 1/2 stone for a few years (147lbs), but not convinced I'd finished growing my hip bones then as you don't fully develop all of that until at least 21 years old. After that I was a good weight at 11 stone for many years (154lbs) before I started going up slowly.

164lbs hits the top of the healthy bmi range, so that's my first goal, after that I'll be aiming for 154lbs again (11 stone) and see if that still fits my body now I'm older. I'm fairly curvy, wide hips etc.

EDIT: I should maybe say that I dont relaly do much strength training (if any), so not a hell of a lot of muscle in that. If I can hit around 160lbs, then work on toning and muscle building, stay the same size, but put on muscle weight, that's fine with me!

MissAnjy

I am 5'10 and my goal weight is 140lbs. I'm currently 153.

missyyclaire

I was feeling good in the mid 90's at 195 lbs, but still knew I could lose more. When I joined MFP yesterday I thought 190 would be a good place to be, but after looking at a healthy BMI, I'm rethinking that 174 might be ideal.
To be honest, at 48, I'm afraid of looking all wrinkly and deflated if my weight got tooooo low. HAHHAHAHAHA, like I've ever had that problem! Seriously, I find I am not wrinkled now and am sure it's because I'm too fluffy...

catdoc1

I'm 5'10", medium framed, and my goal is 145# but I won't squabble if I can maintain anywhere south of 150#. It's right in the middle.

Perhaps you should wait until you get close and see how you feel and what weight it seems your body wants to maintain at. MAINTENANCE is the key here! It's harder than losing because all you want to do is coast, and you think you've got this thing licked, but we don't. It's lifelong.
