    we have the same goal weight
    having a large frame is not a good enough excuse for me to have more body fat than is healthy/than i'd like. my goal weight is 140-145 which would put me at 18-20% body fat. i'll probably end up being a size 6 or maybe a 4 at that weight

    I see the op didn't start a group so I started one for us called large framed women here on mfp. come on over and join

    I am 5'4 but my goal weight has always been 170-175... It doesn't seem like a bad idea to me!

    My fiance always says "There is no such thing as a fat skeleton".. jerk.
    I'm 5'8.5. Starting weight was 286, current weight 269. Goal weight 170. WHEN i get there, I'll reevaluate. I've been told thats still high, but I love curves, and honestly, any less and I think I may be skin and bones.

    I'm one of the lucky Hour glass figures, and love it, just want to trim it down to a smaller hour-glass. I gain weight proportionatly, so I'm hoping I lose it proportionally.

    This is me to a T! I gain so evenly it sucks. haha I often don't notice I have put on weight until I have gained about 15 lbs. I am very busty at a staggering 36 FF cup. I currently wear a size 12--and weigh 210 lbs. When I tell people my weight they are shocked! (maybe they're being nice) haha. I lost 50 lbs on herbal magic two years ago and was at at very healthy 172 lbs. I looked fantastic. And was in a 28 waist or size 8! But herbal magic was VERY expensive. and I didn't learn too much from it about eating what made me feel good and what I liked! Very restrictive. If you start this 'big framed' group i want in!

    Hi,
    I'm a large framed gal, and would like to join a group of similar women. I'm athletic, and continue and will always (Goddess willing) continue to play sports. Everyone guesses my weight much lower than what my doctor measures my weight at. Its frustrating and has always been a constant battle over the exact number on the scale. In my mid 30s this seems to be a battle I feel like I might be starting to lose. I'd be glad to 'friend' other women with similar dieting goals on this thread. Especially if your in TX. I hope to get down to around 175lbs in the next year.

    Glad to have stumbled across this thread...

    Hey ladies!
    I'm 5'7" and currently weigh 251. My ultimate goal weight is somewhere between 185 and 165. I'll re-evaluate when I get to 200. I've always been full figured. My wrists are quite large and my hips and shoulders have always been broad. Can I join the group? Is it invitation only or can I just join it?

    I have a large frame. When I weighed 145 when I met my husband, I wore a size 6. I wore a size 8 on my ring finger and I have size 11 feet. I am 5'5.5" tall. When I was down to 170 after I had my dd, everyone thought I was SOOO thin.

    Hi, I am 36 and been heavy most of my life, I love food, esp. Chocolate and fried foods. I became pre diabetic last December 2012 so I have to lose the weight. last Fall I weighed 293 lbs, my heaviest, since January 2013 I have been serious about eating right and moving around every evening, currently I weigh 258lbs. I just discovered this App yesterday!, I hope to make new friends to help keep each other motivated.

    I'm a large framed girl too! I'm 24, 5'9" and currently 259 (down from 270 a few weeks ago) and my goal weight is around 180-190. I might come down on that, but I've always been curvy, so I want to try to keep that. When I was growing up, I was all skin and bones because I have such a large bone structure. The smallest ring size I've ever worn is around an 8 or 9. I've never been able to fit most of those pre-sized (bangle style) bracelets over my wrist, even when I was tiny. My head looked huge compared to my neck/body, and since I've always had a larger chest, I looked pretty disproportionate. I liked how I looked junior prom at 170ish and senior pictures a little heavier than that.

    Editing to add pictures.

    Thanks for posting this! I am 5'1" and those stupid healthy weight charts at the dr used to make me feel so crappy. 98-115 LBS for my height?? Lol maybe pre puberty! Once I measured my frame size and realized I have a large frame my healthy weight range became a lot more realistic. Between 125-140. Seeing as how at my lowest weight since entering my 20s was 127, this makes sense :)
