    I am 6' exactly and weigh 320 lbs. My goal is 200lbs, but I am prepared to change that number depending on the way that my body looks. I use to think that losing a ton of weight would make me look funny because I have a large frame, but I have lost 89 pounds and feel amazing. I also look normal. I still need to lose more weight, but for now my overall goal is 200lbs.

    Good Luck on your weight loss journey and please add me. :)

    5'10" (I know the OP says 5'11-6'0 but I figured I'd post anyway)
    Medium/Large frame
    SW: 300#
    CW: 189#
    GW: 170#
    Long term goal: 160-170# depending on BF% and clothing size once I get to 170!
    Strong not skinny!

    oh and I just found this calculator!, super easy and takes into account your frame size :)
    http://www.divine.ca/en/ideal-weight-calculator/c_317/?spfb=like

    This calculator can be deceiving. 50# ago it would have said I was small to medium framed, not it says I am large framed. As I gained weight, my wrists and fingers have gotten bigger. I think the medium frame is accurate.

    I am 5' 11' - 6' 0" (depending on who is measuring me) I currently weigh about 323. My highest weight (before MFP) was 380. I lost down to 230 and gained back up to 340.
    My goal is 185, my dietician says 150. I think I will be too thin at 150. I weighed 185 at 20 when I got married, I looked good at that weight. Ultimately, I will stop when I feel I am at a good weight.

    ETA: The calculator states I should weigh 171-186

    I am 5 10 and currently at 168 25.6% body fat, I got down to 154 and it was to small and hard to maintain. I now have more muscle and feel great where I am at, I am a size 8 and medium btw :) Sounds reasonable.

    I'm 5'10" and started at 220. I'm now at 173 and I feel so much better, but my ultimate goal is to get to 150 and see how it feels. I weighed 145-150 until I was about 23, then put on pounds and pounds until I hit 30. I was around 190, then I had 2 kids, 4 years apart. Between "reward" eating (I'm a nurse, so whenever I had a bad day, I would eat. Heck, even if I had a "good" day, I would eat!!) and not exercising, I ended up at 220 by December 2012. I decided that 2013 would be THE year that I took charge of my health, weight, and fitness and have not looked back. I'm more fit now than I was in my late 20's and I feel fantastic. I'm now finally at a "normal" BMI, but I still have 23 lbs to go to get to my goal. Like some of the others have said, it's not so much about the number as it is about feeling happy at whatever weight "suits" you. Good luck! You can do it!!

    It seems to be very individual. I'm always surprised at how differently people carry weight. Do you want to be slim and healthy or hottie skinny? (which I've never been in my life ... well, maybe when I was 17 ;) I'm 5'10", and I'm happy at 160, thrilled at 155.

    I'm 5'11", started at 247, now I'm at 166. My goal was originally to get to 165, now I may try to lose 5-10 more lbs depending on how I look. Really I just wanna lower my bodyfat percentage at this point.

    I'm 5'11 and currently about 250. The time I remember really liking my body was high school and I was about 170 back then. So that's my goal but I will see how I feel when I start dropping the pounds :) I was 210 when I started college and I looked alright just had pretty big thighs lol.

    I am 6'0" and started about 177lbs. I thought I would look great by 160 but I am on 162 and have a long way to go.

    I have a healthy BMI and have started strength training to lose the body fat as thats what concerns me more these days, staying away from the scales!

    I'm 5'10" and I'm most comfortable between 140 and 145. I have a small frame. I would be okay weighing more if it's muscle.

    Me too. My sister, mother and I are all 5'10" and all have different size frames.

    I have a medium frame and am most comfortable around 140 and 145, but my mother who is large-boned with broad shoulders looked anorexic when she was 145 and then my sister, who has a small frame, looked lumpy at 145!

    I myself topped out at 176 and looked and felt absolutely horrible.

    I'm 6'0" and I'm working to get to 175. However if I'm happy with my look, I'm willing to stop anywhere under 200.

    Hey guys I'm new here but decided it was time to make the changes to my body I've always wanted, at the beginning of the summer I was 180 pounds at 5'11 which is almost overweight for my height. I've been gently increasing my exercise and watching what I eat particularly in the evenings and have managed to get myself down to 165 pounds. My goal weight is 155 though I might get there and decide I want to be 150 if it doesn't make me look too skinny.
    Good luck everyone you all look fantastic, it's very inspiring!
