5'10'' whats your goal weight???

Height is not the only deciding factor. What is your frame size? You can find out my measuring the circumference of your wrist. My height is 5' 7" and my goal weight is below 230. Ideally...near 190, but you get the point.

People gain weight in their wrists too......best way to decide is a healthy BMI range and where you feel good in your skin.

Wow. I need to stay away from these types of threads!! LOL. I'm 42, between 5'9 and 5'10. I'm currently 205 and my goal weight has always been around 175. My lowest weight (when I used scales) was 182. I felt good then, but knew I had room for more loss. I need to keep my eye on feeling good and looking good, because reading some of your numbers a good 20 lbs below my goal weight, and still wanting to go lower makes me worry I'm farther from my ideas than I thought!

My goal weight was originally 180 and I am 5'10" - I am quite a bit lighter than that now, but I was definitely healthy at that weight. Don't worry about what other people's goals are - you know your own body better than anyone else. If your really aren't sure what works for you, ask your doctor. Mine told me anything between 160-190 was healthy for me, which is a lot more than many of the other ladies, but wearing a Size 4 dress at 165 pounds, I know the doctor was right.

I'm aiming for 160 and then re-evaluating. The trouble with being tall is there's a huge range of "healthy" weight based on body type... (I think it's between 130 and 180 for someone who's 5'10"?) It depends on what your body type is. If I'm not happy at 160 I'll try for 150, and so on and so forth.

That huge range is part of the problem! I know, I'll know when I get there. Part of my 'problem' is that I'm healthy now according to my blood work and physical from my Dr. I just know, and he agreed, that the extra weight, and not being fit, only open the door for health problems later. I'm working on closing that door. I want to have energy for my boys, especially the 7 year old. I want to still feel good in 20 years when I can retire. AND I want to look good while doing all of that!

A size 4 at 165?? THOSE are numbers I like to read! Because, I'd be THRILLED with a size 10, and able to run a 5k!

Size 4 at 165 could be hard to achieve if you're not fine boned. Last summer when I was super in shape and fit, I could fit into a 3 but not button them because of my hips, and my hips were poking out a bit so there was no way I would ever get them zipped up.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but frame is such a big thing when it comes to us taller ladies.

No rain on my parade! I have no visions of being a size 4! I've not been since I was 4! As I said, I'd be thrilled to be a 10, and realistically have been dreaming of a 12!

Size 4 at 165 is difficult to achieve without having a low body fat % and high lean body mass. I am *NOT* fine boned (quite the opposite actually), but I am pretty "lean" and "compact" at this point. Also, I ONLY wear a Size 4 in dresses - I am a 6-8 in pants and pretty much a 6 in skirts and S or XS in shirts.

Also, I was healthy at 180+ pounds and Size 12 pants - it doesn't really matter what your size or weight is, it just matters that you are healthy. Period.

I'm 5'10" and am currently at 172lbs, my goal is around 155, but I would be happy at 160. I was at 145 before, and I looked sick. Some people could pull it off, but I didn't look healthy at all. I think 155 will be good on me, but I'll see when I get there :-)

Ceceamanda

The range between what is healthy for women our height is evident in the range of responses. I'm currently at 188 tying my heaviest weight a few years back. When I was down to 174 I was very happy with my body. Seeing others who have a goal of 140 makes me wonder and worry LOL right now I'm aiming at small goals. 185 first and then 180 and so on. My big goal is to reach 174/173 again. Normal BMI. Anything after that will be tackled when I reach that point.

I'm 5'10. Weight maxed out at 189, size 14 almost needing a 16 last march so I decided I needed to do something.

My original goal was simply to eat healthier, and I dropped about 10-12 lbs before I started on MFP. My goal then was to get under 160, which I did as of last august.

My current weight is 14, I have been wearing a size 10 but I think I need to go down to an 8. My final goal is 140 lbs but if I don't get down that low I'm happy, I would like to shave a little more fat from my tummy and thighs and add some muscle to my core and butt. I'm kind of oddly framed- my limbs are more of a fine bone structure, with a bigger ribcage and hips. You can actually see ribs on me right now but I still have love handles... just because of how barrel chested I am for a woman.

I have also been told I'm too skinny but I know I'm not... I tend to lose a lot in my face and arms and you can see my collarbone pretty distinctly... but the people who say I'm too skinny don't see me without clothes on either.

Hi, I've never heard of measuring frame size; always thought it was just some sort of ambiguous term, haha. I'd really like to know more about it. I'm 5'9-5'10", 145lbs, and just measured my wrist circumference: 6". What do I do with this measurement to find my frame size? Thanks!

Based on this, you have a small frame.

I'm 5'11" and my goal weight is anywhere between 160 and 170. It depends on the amount of muscle mass as I get more into my distance running. My current weight is 199 and I want to cut weight for health as well as ease/speed in my running. But having been an athlete in my high school & college years, I know that I can pack a lot of strength & muscle in at 170 but still look like I weigh 150.

I'm 5'10, my current weight is 201 and my goal weight is 146

InvidiaXII

Cool, thanks Corylda

hesn92

I am 5'10" and I was 148.4 as of this morning. My goal weight is 135. I have kind of a small frame... I have been really thin my whole life except in the last couple of years. I have lost about 10 pounds so far and have about 14 left.

I am ultimately more concerned with how I look than what the scale says so if I get down to 140 or something and think I look good I might stop. But as of right now my goal is 135.

Dang it!!! Based on this I have a small frame. So much for using the old excuse that I'm just a big-framed girl! LOL :laugh:

I'm 5'10. My current goal is healthy, so 174. But I think when I get there I'll be ready to lose more and get tone. I have long a road ahead of me though.
