I'm 5'9 and my goal is 155. I'm just curious as to what other tall ladies have set for their goals.

I started trying to lose weight after my second child. I was 184 lbs and couldn't drop the flab. I am at 167 now, so I am super pysched that I am almost there! I might go a little lower, maybe 150 if I make it.

    I'm 5'11" and my goal weight would be 180 pounds.
    Don't want to be too skinny but feel comfortable.

    5'8 1/2'and my goal weight is 165. I am too thin at 150. I am 63 also, so need a little padding.

    5'8'' and goal weight is 170. For some reason people always think I look 20-40 pounds less than I am, and at 155 everyone said I looked too thin. I think 170 is a good compromise.

    I'm 5'8 and currently 115lbs. My goal is around 125-130. I'm already pretty cut, I just need to add more muscle.

    Hi, I'm 5'10 and my goal is 150 pounds, I think (68kgs, converter says that's 150lbs). I'm currently at 161lbs apparently, so close :)

    I'm 6' 1/2" and my goal weight is 190-200#.
    I'm pretty curvy even when I'm at a healthy weight, so I figure it's realistic for me.

    I'm 5'10.5" with a large frame. My original goal was 160, but now I'm aiming for anywhere between 160-180. But who knows, that may change. I have never been at a healthy weight, so I have no idea what I will look like at any specific weight.

    I'm 5'8....starting weight was 180 and my original goal was 150. I kept going and I'm now 143 and pretty much maintaining although I wouldn't mind getting it down to an even 140 :). No less though cuz I'm already on the "thin" side for my frame

    It COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON YOUR FRAME!

    Tiny frame here and 118.

    I am freakishly small boned. I would research what the averages are for your frame size are rather than looking for opinions here!

    Best of Luck!

    Damn, dude. Get in the gym ASAP. You really need to start lifting.

    What is the best to tell your frame size? I would consider myself medium frame. I once heard that you take your thumb and middle finger and wrap around your other wrist - if it touches you are medium frame, if it doesn't touch you are large, if it overlaps small... wonder if there is any truth to that.

    I am 6 ft 1.5 and curvy, I think I am shooting for 190-200 but I workout 6 times a week and building a lot of muscle, But still have a ways to go to get there and then from there I will judge if I need to lose more.
