So glad to read everyone's responses, as it gives me some perspective! I am 5'11" and my current goal weight is 165. I'm currently 185 (started at 197). Once I reach 165, I will have a healthy BMI and weigh what I did in highschool when I was in varsity athletics, so I can't imagine being below that.0

I'm 5ft10 and currently weigh 169lb (down from 284lb) im a pear shape and heavier on the bottom and thighs. I was aiming for 165 but now im 4lbs away i know its not low enough because im still too heavy on the bottom so im setting a new goal for 155 and will see how i look when i get there. I dont want to be too skinny im aiming for about a uk 10-12 because im not small framed and i'll just look ill0

My ideal weight is 135. I'm 5'9 now and 158. Although I am in my healthy BMI I hate the way my weight has settle around my waist. I feel like I have a tire now! I would like to be able o wear my sze 6 jeans again with no muffin top!0

I am 5'10.75 & I have a large body frame, wrist is 7.5. I done several calulators that have recorded several of my measurements and said that the best weight for me would be 230 so i changed my goal from 180 to 230 / I know for me at 180 Im a size 8 and since that was 10yrs ago I believe it would be smaller now seeing that sizes have gotten bigger.
but once I hit 230 I will then decide were Im going to go from there.
230 lbs for a 5"10 woman is a best weight using what calculation? I am in the healthcare field and I've never found a calculator that comes up with that number...seems high to me. I am 5"10 and I think a healthy range is anywhere from 145-170 depending on frame, etc.
I am 155 lbs now (on my home scale ) and a size 8 is a bit loose now. When I weighed 165 I was a size ten...this was about 1.5 years ago.
I agree she miscalculated something as a woman 5'11 and 230 is OVERWEIGHT!!!0 -
I'm 5'9" and am aiming for 150. At my heaviest I was 222, down to 191 now. In college I weighed at my lowest 135 and was accused of being anorexic, I just didn't look healty0

I'm 5'10 and currently at about 198. My heaviest was 205 (where I started MFP) and I'd love to get to 160 - 165. My lowest was 142 but that was when I was in my 20s. I'm 41 now, and I think that would be a little thin (not to mention, probably not possible or sustainable for me). I hit 165 back in early 2010 after some big changes in my diet and thought it looked good for me! Those diet changes didn't stick then so here I am!0

I'm 5ft 10" and my goal weight is 147lbs. I got down to this a couple of years ago on Weight Watchers but have put on since then. I'd be really happy if I could get back down to this. Don't seem to loose weight without exercise so I'm trying to get to the gym more at the moment.
Great thread - thanks all for contributing

I'm 5'11", and I want to weigh 135lbs. I have quite a small body frame (wrist size is just less than 6 inches). I know to some people 135lb might sound a bit light, but I used to be lighter than that, and I liked how I looked then. 0

I am 5'10 and my goal is 160. I am currently 240. My lowest weight was 150, but I didn't feel very good at that weight.0

I am 6'2" and I am aiming for 200 to start then I will re-evaluate! I cant remember the last time I was 200lbs. My lowest I can remember is 209 about 3-1/2 years ago before my wedding and my pregnancy. I have a large frame, hourglass figure but, I think ideally, 190 is about right for me. I would also like to add/return the muscle mass i lost from 3 years ago so, we'll see what this workout brings me. 0

I have no idea what my ideal weight should be as have never felt comfortable at aNY WEIGHT...my slimmest ten years ago was 140 pounds but that was too thin ...so am aiming for 76kg = 167 pounds

I am half an inch taller than you, a year older and 190lbs (thirteen stone eight) and am aiming for the same as you - well actually one pound lighter but only because then I will have lost 100 lbs - 99 doesn't sound as good lol
It sounds about right to me - but lots of people here want to be a lot lower than that.

I'm 25 and 5'9 (ok, 5'10). Anyway, my healthy weight is 165. At 160 I start looking like a bean pole, or Betty Spaghetti.

That my body gallary is really interesting!0 -
I am 6'0" and would LOOVE to be 150, but at 168 I was pretty skinny........still "hippy" and thunder thighs though. At 180 I'm OK but feel a little too fluffy. We'll see what happens..........................0

I am 5'9.5 the lowest I can remember me being was 170 when I was 15. My heaviest weight was 242 before children. Their entrance into the world seemed to put some spark into my metabolism, to which I flirted with the low 200's over the past 5 years. I decided this summer to kick my butt back in gear and I weighed in at 214.6 on June 26th. Since then I am now down to 184.8 and am going to push strong till I hit under that 170 mark again. My ultimate goal is to be 150, so I'm really already almost half way there! Just got to keep on moving! 0

I'm 5'10" and currently at 161, which feels okay to me - still a bit squidgey but I have lots of muscles from running etc.
My ideal weight that I want to return to is 147 (ten and a half stone) - that's the weight I was aged 16, doing lots of running and rugby, and I was pretty happy. Then we'll see how it goes. I'd be happier a bit higher but with a better BF%.0 -
Oops! Forgot to say, my top weight was 217!0

I'm 5'9", now at 131 lbs, my goal is 125. A little on the slim side I know, but 130 is my average weight without working out, when I work out and eat healthy I'm usually around 125-127. I'm not that worried about the pounds, I really want to lose inches and be more proportional- where my fellow pear -shaped girls at?!

I'm 5'11'' and the first female born into a long long line of football players...I'm not a dainty delicate little flower. When I was 17 and at my physical peak (active every day, martial artist, etc) I was 175lbs and a size 16. I had muscle and I was a little tiny bit pudgy but not a lot. I would like to get back to around that weight. My goal is 180 because I don't want to be skinny, I want the muscle back, and I was happy at that size, even if it seems big to other people.0

I'm 5'10" and my goal weight is between 160 and 170. In my personal opinion, women are meant to have curves, and anything below 150 would be scary looking on me (maybe I just feel that way because I've been big my whole life and can't imagine what it would feel like to be skinny). I like being on the bigger side, I think it's a softer look, but I want curves not lumps like I have now lol! Just personal opinion though, what really matters is how YOU feel at any given weight. As long as its in the healthy BMI range, it doesn't matter what weight you feel your best at :drinker:0

I am 5'9" and my ideal weight is 145-150. I got down to 142 one and that was pretty small. I like a litlle cushion, so 145-150 works for me.0

I am 5'9 and a half and right now my goal weight is 160. I found it very helpful to look at http://www.mybodygallery.com to try and figure out what the right weight for me would be. It shows pictures of real women. You can pick your height and then different weights. You can also pick specific body types (apple, pear, hourglass)
^^ This is great, thankyou!!^^0 -
62kg is my idea! (136.4lbs) is my ideal - I am 138.8 now (63.1kg) so quite nearly there, then need to focus on maintenance and increasing lean muscle mass percentages!0

I'm 5'9" and my ideal weight is 155. The smallest I've been as an adult is 153 and I felt amazing. I'm 168 right now. 0

I'm 6'4" and I would like to be 155. I was originally aiming for 170 but once i got here (started at 198) I'm still not happy with it. I still have a tummy and love handleage going on.0
