A post I just saw got me thinking.... I've seen a lot of weight/size goals for shorter ladies over the past few months, but was curious what the tall ladies' goals were. (I'm 5' 11".)

    I'm 5'10", 205lbs, with a larger body frame. My goal for now is 170, and I'm going to go from there and see if I want to lose more. The lowest I would ever consider going is 145-150.

    I am 5' 11" my goal is 165, but I would be happy with 175. Or a size 12. I older and don't really expect to get back to my high school weight.

    Not as tall as you all but not short either, Lol!

    5"8 and 135 is goal. That's probably 5 pounds lighter than I need to be. I want some wiggle room when I start to up the calories again. So 140 would be closer.

    I'm 5'10" & I now weigh 151lbs - depending on the ime of day! It's about the right weight for my height & build.

    I started at 185lbs in Jan 2011.

    I am now more focused on my body fat & muscle building which I'm enjoying.

    Good luck!

    I'm not sure if you consider 5'6 to be tall but my goal weight is 119 pounds. Currently I'm weighing in at 176 pounds.

    I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 175#. I don't care what I weigh, I'm much more concerned with fitness and toning. I would be happy with a size 12 or 14, seeing as I started in a size 34 at 380#.

    I'm 5'11 and a half! I'd like to be 160 for insurance purposes, but since that's just a few pounds over my lean body mass I'm probably going to have to stop around 180.

    No ideal size, but i would like to try 20% bodyfat. :)

    I'm 5'9 and my goal is between 130 and 135. Right now I got my goal at 135 on here but if I get there and decide to go 5 more lbs, I got the flexibility. I am really small boned so when I have been that low before it looked fine where as Simone my height with larger bones it would look scary thin. Thankfully, lol, at 152.4 I carry it well - thank god for curves.

    Just a little under 5 '10" with a large frame and my goal is 160 to 165, but if I get to 170 and i am toned and not flabby, I'd be happy with that :) I'd LOVE to get into a size 10. The smallest size (in my adult life) I've ever been was a 12. I can't forsee ever fitting into an 8, so 10 is my hope :)

    I'm around 5'9", and peaked at 195lb. I'm currently 162lb, and am aiming to get down to around 147lb (or 10 1/2 stone as it is to me!). The slimmest I've ever been in my adult life, I was a few pounds below that, and was a UK size 10-12. I'd love to be a size 12 again, as I've not been there since having children - and the eldest is nearly 11... So that's my aim. I'm doing the couch to 5k plan, and a Zumba class a week to improve my fitness and (hopefully) get slightly toned, too.

    I'm 6" tall and currently weigh 168lbs. My goal is 160lbs with toned arms. I think I'm medium frame.

    I was a pretty steady 170lbs for about 3 years after my last pregnancy, but somehow in the last 6 months I jumped up to 180lbs and my clothes all became too small. I found this site in July and have lost that weight. Since I'm doing so well, I've decided to try to get down to 160lbs, which is where I was before I started having children. Truthfully though, it isn't my weight that is bugging me so much now as it is my flabby arms (where did they come from???).

    Am just under 6" and have no idea about how much I want to weight in the end, still have lots to lose first. Am at 237 at the moment and currently I think that 185lbs is a good aim and then will re-assess. Might never get even there though, especially as I am planning on incorporating some lifting. :-)

    Some of your low weights really are quite scary (from my overweight point of view) - but I still struggle with converting inches/lbs to cm/kg, so that might be why ;-)

    Good luck to all of you!

    I'm 5'9, currently 165, size 10. I don't really have goal weight, but my current goal is size 8. Planning to re-evaluate when I get there.

    I am 5'3" and right now I am 145-147 lbs. I want to be 125 lbs or a little heavier. I just want to be toned. I want my legs to jiggle less, I want my love handles to not hang out, I want my arms to look great. :-)

    -- I just realized this is for "tall ladies" and I thought the title was "tell ladies" haha I am a douche.

    I'm 5'10, weight now is 225, goal weight for now is 180, waist is 36.5, hips are 44.5. When I get to 180 I will probably do P90x or something to lose inches and tone to get strong.

    5'11 - goal was 157. I surpassed that and in June I hit 145. Trying to at least get to 150 but my body seems to be holding somewhere between 147-145. I guess that's not too bad. I'm wearing 4/6 pants and S/M shirts. I was 190 at my largest (14/16 pants and L/XL shirts).

    I'm 5'9" Currently 198 lbs. My goal weight is 175 but I'm more concerned with size. My goal size is a comfortable 10/12. I now I look healthy and not anorexic at that size. I'm currently a tight 14/loose 16.

    Im 5'11" and my goal weight is 160. Ill see how I am at 170 but I think maybe 160 will be a good weight for me.

    I am 6'2" and currently at 222lbs...I would like to get down into ONE-derland so, my current GOAL is 195, then I'll re-evaluate! From there, Iw ill probably just want to work on being toned, and not necessarily weight. I am about a size 14 now and would be GREAT to hit a 12 or even a 10 but, we'll see what being Healthy brings. :-)

    I am 5'10 and my GW is 145. Before I fell off the bandwagon, I was 152lbs and I was nowhere near done it seemed. Although, I'm more fat than I am muscle. So, after all is said and done, if I weigh 155 or 160 but I'm muscular, as opposed to 145 and no muscle, i'll take the former :)
