I'm no expert, but I'll tell you what I think. You will find that the target is around 145-159 for a medium frame. I was able to get down to about 145, but I had a hard time maintaining it. I think you've got to figure out where YOU feel best. Depending on your frame, you may be anywhere from 130-165...that's a wide range. Be happy and healthy, it will all work out.0

My doctor told me to set my goal at 180, I'm seeing more that maybe I think once I hit that I will take it down to 150. I think that would be a safe goal and obtainable.0

My doc also told me around 180. I'm 6ft 1in. But honestly I do like a bit of healthy meat on my bones. I felt AMAZING at 215. I was wearing a size 12 and had no stomach at all (the perverbal brickhouse). So with that being said you have to figure where you are most comfortable.0

I'm 5'10" and my goal was 160. I'm now 150 and going for a few pounds less. I have an idea of what I want and that is what I'm going for. It really depends on you. I am actually happy with 170 and 160 as well, I'm just going for a different look this time (and no, it's not skinny) I've never been completely lean and tone so that is my goal. It's all about what you personally feel good with.0

I'm 34 years old, medium frame, 5'11. My first goal was 157 but I surpassed it and dropped to 143, which where I looked like I needed a cheeseburger and since put on 5-6 pounds depending. My new goal is to maintain at or under 150.0

I'm 5'11 I would like to be 150-1700

I am 5'10" and originally aiming for 145. I am 147 now and mostly happy with my body. I am working on more "toning" in hopes that my thighs will thin out (even a tiny bit!). Now hoping for 140-145 but shape is more important to me, if I ended up at 150 with more "shape" I'd be happy.0

I'm 5'10" and currently in the 180s (avoiding the scale as it was driving me crazy). I'd love to be 150 because I know I'd feel best there, but it is impossible to maintain. I will have to learn to accept 160 since I've been there and lower a few times, and switch my focus to toning up. Set a realistic goal then re evaluate once you're there0

Thanks so much everyone! I went from 222 down to 180(I've gained a bunch back since then) but the entire time I didn't change a pants size;( it's driving me crazy. I'm forever stuck in a size 16.0

I'm 5'10, and my goal weight is 180 or 170.0

im 5 foot 10, 32 years old, and have had 5 children. i started at 246, currently 187, and my goal weight is 155-160.0

I'm also 23 and 5'11" at 200. My current goal is 178 because I probably haven't weighed that much since middle school. Plus that will put me at a normal BMI. Once I hit that goal I'll see how I feel about maintaining or getting slimmer. I would prefer curves and muscles over a low number on the scale. Even though I technically have an overweight bmi I also can do a lt physically-sometimes its hard to remember that.
I feel like taller, naturally larger formed women often have the same issues.
Good to have a community here who can truly understand!0 -
I'm 6'3" and I'm currently around 180, but I want to get back down to 165, which is my pre baby weight.0

Hi! I'm 5'11 aswell, currently 145 (Down 23 lbs) aiming to be 138 but I know it'll take alot of hard work to drop the last 7 lbs. my lowest ever was 132 but was completely unsustainable for me, i think its kinda more about when you feel comfortable than trying to gauge yourself against others (easier said than done i know) but best of luck! feel free to add me if you want :-)0

My goal is 174. I got down to that weight two summers ago and LOVED it. So now I'd like to get there.
This time though I'm also doing a ton more strength training and eating better, so hopefully I'll look even better at that weight then before.0 -
My doc also told me around 160-180, course that's the range for my BMI at 6' even.
I'm really shooting for 190 at this point to be realistic but I have a long way to go.
Have to tell ya though, I remember when I was 15 and wearing size 14 @ 200-210ish and looked great. Skinny was never in my realm, I'm a frick'n Amazon! Toned and fit however definintely are and I'm looking forward to see a size 14 again LOL
I don't think taller means smaller, get some meat on them bones and just look healthy! Know that you're comfortable with where you are once you hit it, and just maintain that. Healthy=Happy0 -
Alot of tall women on here0

i'm 5'10" and my goal weight is around 175lbs0

I'm 5'10" with a goal of 160 (give or take)
I'm currently 180lbs, started at 245lbs. My display picture shows where I'm currently at.
ETA: My pant size is 11 if that helps as well.0 -
I'm 5'10" and shooting for about 170. I think it's healthy for me and will put me in about a size 10/12 which is where I'm happy (currently at a 14/16 and not liking that very much). Anything less than 170 and I start looking scrawny, and I'm trying to avoid that.
I don't think it's a one size fits all situation, and weight is a pretty bad indicator of health/fitness anyway (although if you're obviously way too overweight or underweight, then the scale is certainly a helpful tool).0
