    My ideal weight would be around 150. Although I'll take 155.... With fluctuations staying within the mid-150s range. I'm 5'9 and just sort of am chubbier than I would like to be. I've lost about 10-13 pounds so far - - it's hard to lose more - - I've plateaued and frankly have gotten sick of calorie counting and trying to be good. ha. But I'm not going to give up...
  • I'm just under 5'11 and would like to be 155 and toned
  • I'm 5'11 and would be happy to get down to 175 lbs. That means losing 20 lbs...I would be so proud of myself.

    I'm between 5'9" and 5'10" and am currently 175 lbs...my heaviest. My goal is 145. I was happy at that weight, felt good and I still have a lot of clothes in my closet from that period.

    Kippy Bee- I am the exact height that you are, but weigh 191 lbs (my heaviest). 145 is my goal as well as I am in between medium and large frame. I was, at my lightest, 123 pounds and I looked like walking death! Funny..I too have a closet full of clothes that I WILL wear again, haha. I suppose its quite a motivator for the both of us that we have already weighed much less and know exactly how it looks and how we feel..good luck to you!!

    I'm 6'1 and aiming to get to 165lbs, then maybe a little lower depending on how I look and feel in a bikini. About 30lbs to go.

    I am 6'0' and would love to be in the high 140's. My frame is small ( when it is not covered in fat) and I have wide hips, so that is where a lot of the fat settles. I have been as high as 220 and as low as 135 (too low). Currently I am around 173. If I could get down to 155, I would be ecstatic!
  • I'm 5'8.5" and as of now I'm at 152lbs. I would like to try for 140 and possibly down to 130-35. I've never been below about 148 my entire adult life, so I'll figure it out as I go along. I figure if 130 is too thin for me I would have no problem gaining some back.
    My weight is all around the middle, right now I think my waist is 32" and my hips are about 39", which seems too big for my small frame.

    I am 5'9", goal is to be 145.. just hit healthy BMI today at 169!! 145 is in the middle of the healthy weight range
  • I'm 5'11" and I also have a large frame. We have the same target areas in mind, right now I fluctuate between 235-245. I would like to be anywhere between 175-190 but of course I would have to go by how I feel would still look well for me. When I was in high school I was maybe between 140-150 and I was just really skinny. So this time around I want to look and be healthy.

    Well I am 5'9 and have been at every weight increment possible i think. I started at 193 that was terrible. I got down to 173 and still wasn't happy. I reached 165 and that was starting to look better. I am now down to 155 and I think I am going to get down to 145. I like most others on this page carry all my weight in my hips and thighs. I have learned that doing cardio everyday with my work outs and a low carb diet really sheds the fat in those thighs. Thats my biggest inesecurity and I am noticing my thighs getting smaller!! Yay! Cardio Cardio Cardio!!
  • I'm just shy of 6'1" with a large frame, lightest I've ever been was 170lbs. I'm 250lbs now and would like to get down to 180lb and I'll be happy then

    I am 6' and I think a healthy BMI would put me around 135-160lbs, but I'm trying to focus on clothing sizes as a way to motivate myself. I am in a 20W, at 250lbs, but my doctor and I agree that a size 12-14 would be best (which is around 180lbs on me).

    It seems like such a pipe dream right now....

    I am 5'11 and I am currently 244 lbs. I will like to get down to 180-190. I love being curvy and that's when felt the most sexiest and healthy.

    Hi all, I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is about 160-170. I'm at 188 now which is way too big for me personally although I am still slim and don't look too big. It's a matter of being healthy and getting back to where I feel good. :-)

    Oh yay! I finally found other tall ladies! I am new to the group. Okay so my goal weight is 150 and then I will go from there. I am 5' 10" and I am in a size 10. That should make me a lose 8 and that works for me.

    At my smallest I was 115 (size 2) (which was gross) in my 20's. At my highest (with baby) I was 210. Since I have had my babies my body has changed. 135 used to be my target weight but that's just to skinny for me. My new goal is 150 and I may readjust when I get there...but that would be fabulous!

    I am so glad for this group!!! I am currently 180 and would like to lose another 15 lbs to be at 165. I have a large frame, and am fairly lean on top, but carry a lot of weight in my thighs and hips! Thanks for posting!!

    I've got a photo of myself on the My Body Gallery site.

    1.jpg

    That photo was taken in August at 222, and unfortunately I have gained a few pounds and inches back since starting an evening masters program and blowing my exercise regimen to hell. (I'm already remedying this, however.)

    Anyway, I'm 5'9" on a medium frame; calculators have given me anywhere from the 150s to 180s, so it's really hard to judge what my goal is at this point. For now, I'd be thrilled to get to "Onederland"!

    If this is 222 I'm jealous! You look amazing x

    I'm 5'11 and prob aiming for around 175 which is top end of my ideal weight, however I have a large frame so anything under 200lb will be great. Don't think I've been under 210 since I was about 15!!

    6ft tall, my ideal weight is 145 lbs (65kg)

    Right now I'm going from 85kg to 75kg - I'm in no hurry to reach the 65kg, not yet.

    This group gives me hope! I'm currently 162, but have a goal weight of 150. I'd like to be smaller, but once I incorporate lifting I'm not sure that will be feasible. I found a website that calculates weight based on body fat percentage goal. It gave me a goal weight of 149 which would put my body fat at the lowest possible healthy range for a woman. I really just want to lose these thighs....

    I was 135 when I was married 18 years ago...that was before having 2 babies and my body is just different now. I think for me 145/150 would be awesome. Oh and I am 5' 10".

    I'm 5.11 and I would like to be 140, not much to go but I carry my weight on my tummy and those last 6/7lb are all there. I hate the thought of someone asking if my rounded tummy is another baby as my two are now 3 and 1. Its good to hear from other tall ladies as my friends are all smaller than me

    Being Aussie, I've not a clue about pounds but as a starting goal I am aiming for a goal of 80kg which is at the higher end of my healthy weight range (180cm tall or just over 5ft 10), but I don't *really* know what I should be aiming for, having always been bigger, the last time I weighed 80kg was when I was 16 & I thought I was fat then! Of course I look back at pictures now & think "I thought I was fat!?) so I think 80kg is a good a number as any to aim for!
