goal weight for taller people

I think you are crazy, personally, to be aiming for such an obscenely low weight. I mean, you are 6'5. What are you thinking? 150 is an acceptable weight for a FEMALE 7 inches shorter than yourself. You would look like someone out of Bergen Belsen, regardless of your build.

lol. I forgot to say I'm currently at 165 so I'm close

I think you should forget losing weight and start bulking now. Even if you have a very small frame, you are already thin. If your goal is to bulk, then what do you think you will achieve by losing 15 lbs when you're already thin? You'll just be making it that much more difficult for yourself.

Get lifting heavy weights, eat above your TDEE and start bulking now. After you've gained some muscle, then do a cut with a very conservative deficit to get rid of any fat without losing any lean mass.

Maybe you don't like your body composition right now, but lifting and gaining muscle is going to make the improvements that you want to see, e.g. firming up all over and improving your overall shape... losing more weight isn't going to do that for you.

my boyfriend is 6"2 and about 145-150lb. I WANT HIM TO PUT ON WEIGHT! He is so skinny, and I currently am stronger than him (yes, please look at my arms. His are not much bigger). He has always been a skinny, lanky Japanese and just doesn't care about missing meals, hence his skinny-ness.

150lb at your height is absolutely ridiculous! and likely impossible without some health problems and starving yourself

lol same here I'm stronger than my boyfriend especially the legs. Mine are huge compared to his

I'm 6'2 and currently have my goal set at around 175-180 range. However, currently around 213 mark and already having people tell me that I'm starting to look thin. I think I'll be happy in 180-190 range but we will see.

Ultimately just going to work on the toning and let the weight be what it will be. I'll stay healthy and plan from there.

Good luck!

What, I am 5'6" 140, and would like to put on some weight.

Here is a rule of thumb to follow to set goal weights for a man 5' 106lbs, then add 6 lbs per inch. So at 6'5" that would put you at 208 (106+17*6), and if you are large frame or look at have some muscle, add 10% (More if goal to be considered "big") , if your goal is the thin lean look take off 10%. So that would give you a range of 187 to 229, or even higher if you carry a lot of muscle. I would suggest a goal of 200-250 for that height.

I am a 6 ft female and at 173-175 and I am pretty lean, slightly lanky. I wanted to get to 168 but it's just not happening! I know all bodies are different and we show our weight differently....

but 6'5 and 150??? Was that a typo did you mean 250?? I am no Dr, but I would say you should be like 190-200+ at that height if you wanted to bulk!

My father is 6'7 and he is far into the 200s, strongest person I have ever met and very healthy!

Just do some research to be safe.

I am 5'11 and would never expect myself to get to 150. Actually, I think I would look gross. I am currently at 176. I would be happy at 165.

Seriously?

I'm female, 5'1" and weigh 130lb, 101lb of that is lean body mass (22% body fat) No way is 106lb is a goal weight for a man just one inch shorter than me, unless he has a tiny, tiny frame, ....men generally have larger frames than women and that goal weight is about right for a small framed woman.... A medium framed woman of this height would be maybe 110-115lb. A medium framed man would weigh more than that.

If I follow your rule, even adding 10% due to having a large frame, my goal weight would be 123.2lb... I'd have to cut down to about 18% body fat and not bulk at all to get to that weight... and i'm female... If I was male with the same height and frame size that I have I'd aim to bulk up to 140 or 145lb or maybe even more than that if I can. (and I'm still a novice at lifting, and I'm looking to gain lean mass in addition to what I already have, just I know I don't have the testosterone to add as much as a man could)

Short people are usually not scaled down models of taller people, so linear scales like these don't work.

IMO it's a lot better to base goal weights on body fat percentage. i.e. base it on your current weight and current body fat percentage and what your goal is (bulk, cut). Find out how much lean body mass you have, then for bulking work out how much you want to add, and for cutting, work out what you'd weigh with the same amount of lean body mass but with the body fat percentage you want.
