5'10 ladies - what is your goal weight?

I'm currently at 148 and happy with my body! 145 would be great but I am not actively trying to lose any more, just continuing exercise and eating around maintenance (or more... oops ) in the end its how you feel, as long as you are healthy, the number isn't important. Good luck

If theres one thing I've learned on here is chasing a number will frustrate you. I know this first hand from my beautiful wife. She started on MFP first and did the "I want to be 140". Truth is she was more in love with what she "thought" 140 should look like. It easy to try imagine yourself in the mirror missing the 5, 10, 15 lbs turning sideways and thinking "that would look real good on me". But thats because your visualizing and instant loss. Like other posters above me have mentioned weight looks different on people. My wife started rocking it out then found a group of people that led her from straight cardio to incorporate weight training. But the dreaded lifting will make you "heavier" and "Bulky" and thats a psychological can't do for some people. She stayed steady lifting light weights (I joined in) and hasn't hit the 140 but has lost fat gained muscle and went to a size 4 and I think maybe a size 2 in other brands of jeans.

The biggest speedbump is when you first start out, you'll lose weight and that processes as success, thats proof that your hard work is paying off. You get addicted standing on the scale everymorning seeing 1lb gone. But eventually youll start to level off by gaining muscle while losing fat at the same time which can make your numbers stall, and then you'll end up with a post "why am I not losing weight? I'm busting my butt" This very exact thing happened to me and my wife she wanted that number so bad but then stalled and freaked out, as did I a couple of weeks after her. So the scale started mentally sabotaging our workouts making the urge to quit start to enter our minds. The only thing that really saved us is before she started she did body measurments and after a week of stalled at a undesired number she got the tape out and saw how many inches she had lost and could now fit in a new line of clothes which was her origional goal setting.

So just take good measurments, especially in the areas that you want to see go away. Work it like a champ and when you hit the levelling off point take those measurments again and that will be your new visual aid to your hard work.

VERY well said!!

130.

I'm 5'9 and 180/175 is actually where I started.

I currently weigh 153, and am trying to get back to 150.. maybe even a little lower, like 140.

I'm 5'11 and have been gaining and losing the same 5 lbs for a few months now. I'm waivering between 160 - 165, got into the 150s for like 2 days. I would be happy at 150 as that is what weight my calculations say I need to be for the lowest possible healthy body percent fat for a female. I'm not aiming to have a models body - just want to have a healthy athletic build like I did prior to my 20s.

I am 5"10 and weigh 151.8 lbs

I'm 6'1" (so slightly over), and at goal weight - 165lbs.

I'm 59 - also between 5'10 and 5'11 depending on the day. When I was younger I weighed it at about 138. My friends said I was too thin, but when you're young - you can never be TOO thin,

Looking back - when my oldest daughter was in college - I could find clothes for her in a size 8 and try them on. if I could barely get them on - I knew they would fit her just fine. I think I weighed in around 150 at that point. When I was pregnant with my twin daughters (1975) - my waist went from 28 - 49. I did get back down - almost. Only got to a 31 waist. I'd be happy to have that back. Now it's more like 34.

Now, in my older and wiser age - I am targeting for a FIT 155. or somewhere between 155 and 162 but FIT. That is the key. I'd like to wear size 10's again but a nice loose 12 would be nice. I have lots of good clothes that fit me in a size 12...

As we tall girls know - it's VERY hard to find clothes that fit right. Pants aren't long enough - sleeves are too short, the waist never lands at your waist with anything.......................................... So now I'm working on sewing to get stuff that fits. Shoes? don't even go there.

I entered my goal weight at 155 but I'm truly more interested in how I feel and how my clothes look on me than what the scale says. The scale just makes me behave.

The rule of thumb that I have seen is to start at 100 lbs and then add 5 lbs for every inch above that. Bodies are all different. Muscle weighs more than fat. Large, medium and small frame account for about a 5 lb variance.

I'm 5'10" and I'm currently at 186. My goal weight is 150-160.
