    I'm a 5'9", big-boned gal. My doctor and my trainer (independent of each other) have set my goal weight at 175. That should put me at around a size 12.

    hey, I am "only" 5'9, but with a small frame, so my goal weight is about 125-127 pounds (CW about 132)

    A question: My recommended Calories is 1930 by MFP that seems high to lose 1 lb a week. Is it because I'm taller?

    I don't ever go off MFP calorie recommendations, it's so generalized for a large mass of individuals and doesn't take into factor SO MANY different variables.

    Look at your losses, factor in your exercise calories and whether you aim to eat them back or not, and adjust from there. IMO :smile:
    hi there this does sound a lot of calories, i am 6ft and set to maintain at sedentary my intake is 1890 when i was losing i was having about 1500 a day and lost steady xx

    Hey, there's actually so many more taller girls on here than I thought!
    I'm 5ft10.5 and 158 and my goal is 140 - always used to be 140 a couple of years ago and then I gave up dancing to focus on my exams etc. and got lazy and the weight slowly crept on.
    Best of luck everyone, you're all amazing! X:tongue:

    5ft9- goal currently at 168, 5lb off at the mo, started at 220.
    once i hit 168 i am going to up my calories to what maintenance would be for somone of 150lb and see what else comes off :-) That way I get practice at maintenance!
    I have a large frame- 6.5inch wrist and broad shoulders (dammit!)- that said, i also used to wear manly size 9's on my feet and they have dropped to 6's after loosing weight!

    Im the same height as you and Im going for 170ish as my goal!! I have been lighter in the past but just looked shocking and atually ended up being really unwell till I got the weight back up again!! But I think we are all different!! If my bone structure was more like my sisters rather than my dads Im sure I could go smaller :)

    I'm 5'8....starting weight was 180
    Current weight is 144. My original goal was 150 then I changed it to 145 and now it's 140 lol. I won't go more than that because of my frame and afraid of looking sickly!

    I'm 5'11, currently about 150 lbs. My goal weight was 145 but I've noticed my weight just does not want to come down, so I am not focusing too much on it. I am most concerned with lowering my body fat (currently around 20% or so) and feeling confident in my clothes.

    I am 56 and am 5'11. I began this journey at 195. I currently weigh 176 and hope to get down to 165 which is a comfortable weight for me. I am not interested in looking like a bean pole....LOL.

    I am 5'8" (on the short end of the tall scale!)

    I started at 242 lbs a tight size 20. I'm currently 168 and just fitting into a size 8 pant. My currently goal is to be 155 and maybe depending on how that goes shoot for 149. The lightest I've weighed as an adult was 135 and it was pretty difficult to maintain.

    This last pounds are going sooooo slow!

    I'm 5'8, and I want to be 140.
    I'm currently at 155-ish (haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks), but I've been doing quite poorly with eating choices since the semester has started :(

    Im currently 5'4 weighing in at about 220. If you saw me in person you really couldnt tell, but its only because i have huge thighs and a big butt. My goal weight right now is at 170, or at least a size 12 or 14 currently a size 16/17
