Tall girls...goal weight?

For me, I am 5'8" with a target BMI range of 120-164 pounds. I am aiming for 150. If you are going to be our height and 120, you have to have very small bone structure and probably a very low muscle mass. I have medium bone structure and fairly developed muscle mass, so I will not be trying to go below the middle point of my range. I am ~166 pounds right now and fitting into an 8 or a 10 pant, depending on the cut.

You are right in the middle of your healthy range and are probably fine to maintain there. If you are not sure, go somewhere and get an accurate body fat % test done, and if you are healthy or low there, you are probably good. If it is still high, you can probably lose some more. Hope that helps!

I'm 5'8 also and I'm aiming to be 150 (I'm 189 right now). 140's really in the middle range of healthyness for that height, so as long as you're comfortable in your clothes there's really no reason to keep losing.

I'm 5'9". At my thinnest (a few years ago) was 125 - THAT WAS TOO TOO THIN FOR MY PERSONAL FRAME. My goal is around 145 now. You need to take into account your personal frame.

For me, I am 5'8"... I am ~166 pounds right now and fitting into an 8 or a 10 pant, depending on the cut.

And amber this shows you why you have to decide for you. I'm an inch taller and 3 pounds lighter and my butt's in a 12 right now (I can force it into a 10 but it's not pretty and could probably be dangerous if the button blows off). It's totally dependent on your frame.

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 145-150. Right now I am 164 and i started here at 192 : )
I've been 155 before and I looked good HOWEVER, i wasn't toned. I want to be toned and 145-150.

I'm 5'10" and at 174 pounds I'm just on the border of 'healthy' BMI. I want to get down to 147 but that's just me. Go for whatever goal is healthy but right for you

I'm 5'7'' and my goal weight is 155-165. I have a large bone structure...and at 120 I would look like death.

My wife is 5"11 and weighs 140. She is farily fit but could easily weigh more if she put on a bit of muscle and could weigh a bit less and still be all in proportion.

IAM 5'7 AND 185LBS MY GOAL WEIGHT IS 150LBS.I SAY IF YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT WERE YOU ARE THAN WORK WITH GIRL.I THINK IF I GO PAST 150 I WILL LOOK SO SMALL.

1. Do not judge your body according to anyone else.

2. You should only be concerned about your BMI and even then it should still be about health and being in shape.

Think about your shoe size, bigger feet were made to hold up more weight and height, and smaller feet et cetera.

Im 5;10 and wear a size 10.5 11 and the smallest Ive been in adulthood is 165-170 and i wore a size 10!! PPl asked if I was starving myself. Whereas a size 12 for a shorter woman may cause her to look obese.

It all has to do with your body type. Even at my smallest my still had full breast and wide hips and thats where my weight goes.

So if you are at normal weight then just strive to get in shape and remain healthy.

Hey! I'm 5'11.5 and I definately say go with how you feel. My doctor, the BMI charts and target weight charts all tell me that I should be around 160-170...ummm.no...the lowest I've ever been was 173 before kids and I looked ill and had to practically starve. My personal goal is 185. Most women think this is too big but for me, I will be screaming and doing cart wheels as if I weighed 120 when I get there Good luck!

DEAR LORD YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

/sorry if that was creepy

lol : ) Thank you! Not creepy at all, you're making me :blushing:

Don't base your weight on anyone else, everyone is built so differently! For a while a bunch of my friends were wearing the same pant size even though we are all different heights and builds. Go with what makes you feel good about yourself and ignore all the talk that's out there about what you "should" weigh.

I'm 5-9 and I am not built to be tiny, wide shoulders, even when I was much smaller, such a long time ago, wide hips. I set my goal weight at 135, as a guesstimate. My actual goal is to get back into a size 8, which I have not seen in 12 years, I felt and looked good then. I got down to a 6 before that, but it didn't look good on my frame, while a friend of mine, also 5-9 looks amazing in a 6.

I'd say go for what makes you feel good, and keeps you healthy.

If you're comfortable and happy with your weight, and it's a healthy weight, DO NOT CHANGE. Taller ladies can't be expected to weight the same as shorter women.

I myself am 6 ft 1 (185 cm) and am aiming to be around 80kilos. That's 176 pounds. According to BMI calculations - that'll be healthy for me. I'm going to be ECSTATIC when I reach that weight. I know I have a large frame, and always have. If I get down to that and I still have flab, I may tone it and trim a few more pounds off myself. But until I get to there I won't know.

But like I said, if you're happy, comfortable and overall healthy, just maintain that.

Hello fellow tall ladies! Take it from me....I'm 6'4" and 195lbs. Not many people would guess that I weigh as much as I do but I guess that's because us tall ladies wear it well Before I had my son, I weighed 200lbs but I have always been very lean and muscular (I was an athlete). The weird part is that I weigh 5 lbs less than I did when I got pregnant but I'm suddenly sporting thunder thighs. Now, I'm trying to either lose a few pounds or gain back the muscle mass that I had pre-baby...either one will be fine with me. But seriously, I'm not stressing about weighing more than all the tiny ladies. I SHOULD weigh more, and I SHOULD wear a bigger size. Please do not try to lose weight because of what someone else (including doctors) thinks your size and weight should be. If you are in at least decent physical condition, eat healthy, and feel good, then you are where YOU need to be. I mean, when I was at my thinnest, I wore a size 12. So ladies, let go of unrealistic expectations and know that you are all beautiful in YOUR size and shape. Break the mold, variety is the spice of life.
