5'10 ladies - what is your goal weight?

Options
Hi I'm 5'10 and I have been wavering on my goal weight. I would like to ideally get to 165 lbs but a lot of people have said this is too low for my height and I should stop about 175-180. What do you think?

    I think you will know when you get there. I am also 5'10" and I have been as low as 135 - which is too low. It didn't look good. However, my goal is 150 (just about there) and I am most happy at that weight. That puts me in a size 6 and sometimes 8 very comfortably.

    You need to focus more on how you feel and how your clothes fit. My 150 might not be the same as yours because of muscle mass and things like that.

    Yup - 150 will look different on different people, even if height is the same! I would love to get down to 160.

    Hey! I am 5'9 and my goal is 150. I have been told may different things about what my weight should be. Everything from 175 to 145. Ultimately though my goal is to be happy with the way I look and feel, not the number.

    I am 5'11" and I think my ultimate goal will be somewhere around 170-175. I was 185 for a while 10 years ago (so 7 pounds less than what I weigh now) and I was OK with that weight, but I know I would feel better losing a little more than that.

    Like PPs said, it really depends on you and where you feel comfortable.

    I'm 5'11" and I'm shooting for 175. A friend of mine who is a nurse/nutritionist set that # for me based on my height and frame, which she stressed is a big factor in finding a healthy weight. If you're lighter boned, you will probably be healthy at 160. If you're like me and have wrist bones the size of most people's calves, you might want to go a little heavier.

    PS- Tall girls ROCK!

    I'm 5'10 and My goal is between 170 and 180. Who am I kidding... I would be giddy if it was anything below 200 :)

    I'm 5'11 and aiming for 170 as an original goal weight, but my ultimate goal weight is as yet undecided. I want to see what I look and feel like at that weight, and will likely be looking to go down a few more from there.

    I'm 5'10" and want to get to 170. Actually, would love to get to 150 just to see what it looks like, but I'll settle for 170! LOL

    I'm 5'10" and started at 182lbs. I am down to 165lbs currently, but my goal is 140-145lbs. According to "www.caloriescount.com", a healthy weight range is 132-173lbs. I have been athletic my entire life (until the past couple of years, hence the weight gain), so I didn't wear 180 well at all. Good luck!!

    I am 5'10" and currently around 175. Still have way too much body fat - but I have a small frame. I am shooting for 150-155.

    My goal is 145lbs. I'm around 150 now. Like a previous poster, years ago I was in the 130's and I was WAY too thin. For my frame, I prefer the 140's.

    I'm 5'11 and got down to 145, where I was a size 4. I worked my way back up to 153 over the winter and I think I'm too big now. Haven't got back on the wagon yet, but I was more comfortable at 147 than anything.

    You'll know when you get there. I was aiming for 160 from 190, but when I got to 160 I knew I could do better.

    I'm 5' 10.5. Goal weight is 145 but I'm throwing myself a parade if I can make it to 150. :drinker:
