  • Would having a 6" wrist be considered large frame? According to the charts it is, but when I weigh anything over 150, I look heavy...so now I don't know? Silly question, I know, but one I would be interested in knowing (based on all of your experience).

    For heights over 5'5", no.

    Ooh, nifty. I hadn't seen the elbow breadth measurement before, I got barely under 3" there!
    Thanks for posting this and for the answer! I am more confused though, my wrists are 6" around (where the wrist bone is) but my elbow breadth is 3" exactly...so I am small boned for my wrists and large boned for my elbows?? :noway: I am so confused LOL. But, regardless, I look the best at 135, so I am thinking small boned it is!!

    Yes, I always thought I was medium frame (and still do), but was confused by this. My wrists are 6", my elbows are 3", and my ankles are over 8". This is just a point of reference and not 100% scientific. How I interpret this is that I am on the smaller side of a medium frame. My "best" weight is around 145 (that I know of so far, that might change), so that's my goal.

    Super stoked about all of these beautiful tall ladies working so hard!!! I am 5'10 and currently 149 and working for 140. Have been as high as 198 in the past. I have a small frame (6" wrist) so shooting for the lower end of the BMI. Initially I wanted to be 130-135 but after two month plateau at 153 I decided I should start with a closer goal.
    rock it ladies!!
  • I'm 5'10" and so far haven't found anyone as heavy as me but I won't let it put me off. I'm 322lb and hope some day to be around 180. Love the tall ladies thread.....always feel the odd one out being tall :ohwell: , not so bad now, lets hope I can be like the rest of you ladies and lose some serious weight.:smile:

    5'9 and currently 166.5, medium frame. My goal is to get to 160, maybe 155. It would be great to comfortably fit a size 10 although my large frame and curves may not cooperate:)

    I'm 5' 10". My current weight runs between 180 and 185 and my goal is 170. I've managed to keep the same weight for over a year (which is better than gaining!), but would really like it to be 10 lbs less.

    5'10.5 here!
    SW: 165
    CW: 162
    Goal: 155-160 maintenance/size 8/10
    I'm not sure what "build" I am, but if I had to guess, I am medium to large. I'll have to find out!

    For the past several years, I've bounced between 163 (my wedding) and 170, and have been a solid size 12. After getting frustrated with how clothes just fit me, im working on losing a few pounds and controlling my portions to see what will happen.

    Basically, I suck at portions, and thats why I am on here! :)

    I'm more trying to lose fat/build muscle, so i dont know how accurate my weight will be long term. Once I get under 160, I plan to keep maintenance.

    As for calories, my current calorie allowance is 1410, not including workout calories. I work out 60+ min/day, 6 days a week, so if I eat back my workout calories, Im usually around 2200 calories/day. I'm all about eating back my workout calories, because I am doing a lot of weight training (and im ALWAYS hungry)

    I have an open diary if anyone wants to check it out - I'm curious to see others too who are around my height/weight!
  • 5*10 and 185 want to be about 150- 160
  • would like to have friends about my size

    5'10 currently 210... goal 160 but ultimate goal is 145
  • I'm 5'9 and I LOVE seeing all these other tall women respond.
    I live in the south and feel like a giant most of the time around here.
    It is definitely those Scandinavian roots.

    At (what I believe was) my heaviest, right around my college graduation last May, I weighed in at 226. (Wore a US size 18)
    I started MFP after getting down to about 215, last summer.

    Currently at ~180. (It ranges from 185 to 180 depending on how badly I am eating that week.)

    I've been stalled here and it is really frustrating, but I was able to fit into a size 10 even though the scale hasn't moved much. I've been wearing a size 12 pretty consistently for the last 3 months or so. I spoke with my sister and we figured out that I haven't worn a size 10 since I was in. So I am the smallest I've been in 10(ish) years.

    I am not completely unhappy with where I am (it is a HUGE improvement over how large I was last year) but I would like to go further before I have to wear a swimsuit in public.

    My ultimate goal weight is somewhere between 145-160. I depends on how I look, since I don't really have any idea of what I look like at a healthy weight in my adult life.

    I'm 5'11, seven inch wrist and 223 pounds. I did a fat analysis test and it said my healthy range starts at 207 and that with my large frame I should never go below 170. I'd like to get that re-tested though because that just still seems high..

    Yes, it would. From what I read anything under 6 1/4 is small frame.

    First, if anything under 6 1/4" is small frame, then 6" is a small frame. Second, it all depends on how tall you are. Third, there is also a medium frame. At 5 '9.5", if I put in 6 1/4", I get small frame, and if I put in 6 3/8", I get medium frame. It depends on which wrist I'm measuring.

    I would not mind being around 150lbs, but I just don't know that it will happen. I am apparently small-framed, my wrist is 6 1/4" and my elbow breadth is about 2 1/2". My ankles are 9" though, so I have no idea what that has to do with anything. I don't think I'm small-framed, even at 140lbs about 10 years ago, and looking sickeningly thin, I was in a size 10. My hips are definitely on the larger side. I'm jealous of the women posting who are in the 190's and able to wear a size 12 or 14! I am a loose 16 right now. Still another 10lbs at least before I will be able to fit into a 14.

    And I'm really stoked to read this whole thread! Tall girls! :) I'm always the amazon chick ... nice to read about people in similar boats!

    Me too! I have a BUNCH of 5'0-5'4 low 100's. It's unrealistic for me to even think of being that weight!
  • I'm 5'9" and right now I weigh 245. My goal is 145, which is alot of weight to lose, but its what I weighed before my PCOS symptoms starting showing up and its what I feel most comfortable at.

    I am 5'10 and I did weigh 192 and in 5 months I have lost 45 pounds I went from a size 13/14 to a size 5
    I am now at 147 my goal is 145.

    This is the best I have felt and looked that is including when I was in high school.

    P.S I have a 3 year old and a 6months old. Never let having babies be your excuse...I used that excuse way to long!

    I'm 5'10.

    Starting Weight: 223.4 lbs
    Current Weight: 200.8 lbs
    Goal Weight: 165 lbs

    When I get down to 165 I'll reassess, but I was at that weighed in college and pretty happy there.
