    We have the same goals. I am 5'9" my goal is 145 - 150. I was 162 last June before my trip but over the Summer I packed on some pounds and now am at 177. Hitting reboot!!

    I am 6 ft - goal is 160-165. This is what I weighed when I got married 8 years ago. But I know I still had a belly then, I am wondering if I should go lower. I'll have to reevaluate when I get there.

    I'm 5'9" and my goal is in the 145 to 150 range. I was there about 15 years ago and was very happy.

    I am 5'9 and to outsiders (i've been told) I do not look the weight I am, I look less. I would be happy to get to 180.

    I'm a hair over 6' and my goal is 170, currently 188. When I was in the 159-163 range, I was a little too thin and it wasn't maintainable for me.

    I am 6' even and I would love to weigh 180. My starting weight was 235 and I am now down to 189. After looking at what everyone my height is wanting to weigh I guess I should look for at a lower weight. I was always told a good weight for my height was 180-185. But I see everyone is shooting for 160 range. Does everyone know something I don't.

    absolutely not! everyones body is different... and do NOT base what you think your goal weight should be around what anyone else thinks theirs should be. get to your current goal weight, and once youre there reevaluate and decide if you want to continue to lose. you have to do what feels right for your body.

    i am only 5'11 and i was RIPPED coming out of HS at 180... and i have never weighed less than 200 in my adult life. so even though other people are starting at a lower weight or just simply have their goals set lower, i am going based on what my body can do.

    please please please do not try to achieve someone elses goals. this is your journey, you will only succeed if you are doing it the only way you know how. if you are able to go lower than you originally thought, thats FANTASTIC! but not everyone's frames will allow for such low numbers.

    just a thought :wink:

    also, here is something most of you newbies should take a look at (the BMI chart is basically ridiculous for most of us tall women) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/388527-large-frame-bmi-probably-applies-to-most-of-us-ttw

    I'm 5'10 (currently 145lbs and "skinny fat") and my goal weight is 135lbs.

    Actually, I'm ok with how much I weigh now to be honest, I just need to convert some fat into muscle as even at this weight my stomach is super flabby.

    Don't want to be underweight though...that would be bad!

    I'm 5'11 & working to get to 170-180#.

    and I totally agree with Jenn152! This is about getting to where you are content with your body- not someone else's ideal...

    I'm 6'1" and my goal is to get below 200. Technically, that's still "overweight" but in HS I was a competitive swimmer and worked out like 14 hours per week and weight like 187. Honestly, I don't want to go that low again. I was happier and more confident when I hit the mid 190s

    This is me too except I'm 5'9! In clothes I look skinny but naked in front of the mirror is not a pretty sight :) I am focusing on working out and getting toned and firm now rather than worrying about the # on the scale.

    I am happy to be at 189 but like others I need to tone up alot. I have so much flab on my stomach it makes me look fatter. Alot of people are telling me not to lose any more weight but I don't feel comfortable still and my BMI is still in overweight. I am at a standstill right now on weight loss and I haven't been able to workout as mush as I would like to lately. I am not going to go over board on the weight loss but thanks everyone for caring so much. I make me feel so good though to have others with the same problems.

    I'm in between 6'0" and 6'1" and my goal is about 145. I was 143 at my lowest and I felt very comfortable and confident there. I think I have a small frame even though I'm so tall because I wasn't skeletal or anything, just thin. I'm currently about 170-175 and I feel awful about myself at this weight. It's so frustrating, because I see people on here who are my height and weigh 160, 170, 180 or even 190 and look GREAT! I guess my body just can't carry it as well as I would hope!

    Anyone wanna be friends on here? It would be nice to have ladies of similar stature to compare stuff with. I'm 23 btw, in case that matters. :smile:

    I've seen alot of that wanting to be in the 30's and 40's also and thought atleast for me that would seem "sickly" I was thinking more around 180 maybe a few more or less. Just saying
