    Also, might I ask, does anyone else here feel like a freaking Amazon next to shorter people?

    Oh gosh yes. Always having to bend down to hear people when I'm walking someplace with a group of women!

    Also feel Amazonian when it comes to my goals here. Everyone going on about how MFP "gives all women a goal of 1200." And then a woman says their goal is set at 1500 calories per day and a bunch of people go off about how they just don't know any women who can lose on "that many calories." When my goal is over 1600.

    I am 5'11 and my starting weight was 177.
    I am now 156 and my goal is around 130. Ive been down to 147 and still carried my weight to heavy so I know I need to be less than that!

    I'm aiming for about 175, to get out of the "overweight" range. WHEN I get there (not if) I will see how much further I would like to go. That's still a loooooong way away for me so it's going to be a while!

    I am 5'11, 30 years old. I am happy around 155-168, however, I would love to get down to 145 ibs and later keep it between 138-148.

    Being this tall, I can put on 20 pounds fast, which happened from partying and drinking too much over the summer. Right now, I would be happy just to get down to 170.

    I'm 45 and a small-framed 5-9"... my goal is 145/150.

    I'm 5'11" and aiming for 175 pounds. I started out at 332.4 and now I'm 215.4. Currently wearing a 14/16. I may re-evaluate my goal once I get there, but for now that's what I'm shooting for.

    I'm 5'11 and just saw 169 for the first time I can remember (it was really exciting). I only got above 200 once, but hovered in the 185-195 range for most of college. It's really helpful for me to hear from all of you! I've been trying to gauge where I should be based on BMI, but it's reassuring to see such a range, as I am not exactly what one would call small boned.

    That's the worst! Then...the group pictures. Oh, gosh.

    I've always had a 'thin frame' I guess, but my goal weight is 135. (Current weight, a squishy 150) When I was 135 I wore size 6ish in pants and felt like I was trim and in good shape; no fat love handles squishing out of my waistband. The pictures in my profile are of me at my goal weight, to inspire me to shed this extra baggage and trim up!
