    I'm 5'10" and have a large frame. My "We'll re-evaluate when I get there goal" is 180. I was bones at 160, so I doubt I'll go below 170.

    6'1 here, and currently weigh 196lbs- look and feel overweight.

    I feel my best at around 160lbs - 165lbs. :)

    I'm not QUITE 5'11 but I thought I"d comment on this because 2 inches isn't THAT big of a difference, right?
    I'm 5'9 with a large framed shooting for 180, and MAYBE 175. I'll get there and see.

    i'm 5'11" and definitely large-frame. have always had a hard time with rings/bracelets/anklets/necklaces even when 180-ish lbs in high school... my bones are literally big. as are my entire family's.
    my highest weight (as far as i know since i avoided scales like the plague) was 295 when i was full-term pregnant. i dropped to 270 within a few weeks of birth but hovered there (or possibly even back up towards 300) while being a stay-at-home mom for two years in a remote area on a shoestring budget (ahem, and i ate my feelings). i spiked to about a size 24. joined MFP in august 2011, quickly dropped 40 pounds in the first few months, and have (arduously) been dropping slowly ever since. my current weight is 220, i wear a 14-16 pant and a Large shirt. so yes, my weight is very proportionate and i'm lucky to "carry it well," as people have always told me. but i'm tired of carrying it! lol
    i'm not sure what my goal is... my ticker has me set for 160. lol. that may be a bit idealistic. as of now, i want to get outta the twos and settle somewhere around 175-185 and see how i look. i definitely do not want to be a twig. but healthy BMI and single-digit pant size would be fun :)

    I am 6ft. In High school I weighed 172 and was a size 11. I liked the shape of my body then, I was curvy and thinner. I have always had a large chest, even as a 6th grader. Right now I weigh 241 and I really want to lose the weight. My BP is up and I have serious low blood sugar issues. I carry all of my weight in the middle. Right at my waist, which is horrible. Visceral Fat is most dangerous kind and I know I need to lose. I just feel like I start and then school/mom/husband/military life/ gets in the way. :) I need to stay motivated.

    I'm 6ft 2 with quite a large frame. Everything about me is big and broad. Except for my boobs :sad:

    I'm aiming for about 180-190, then I'll probably re *kitten* my goals. I'm 210 right now :)

    I've long been convinced I have the strangest body in the world. 95% of the weight I need to lose is in my belly and back. I wear 9/10 pants and skirts (and have a size 7 I can squeeze into), but need size 14 dresses or XL tops. My boobs aren't that big either, but I have broad shoulders. I have really toned legs and butt that I get complimented on all the time. I weigh the lowest now that I've weighed since 15, at 208 and have no idea what I'm shooting for. Right now it's 170 and I'll go from there.

    I am 5'11 and my goal is 170-175. I felt really good at this weight back in high school. I'm just excited to see what it looks like on my body now that I've had 2 kids ;)
