5'10 ladies - what is your goal weight?

150-155 (about 21% body fat) is my happy place

5'10" here and I am now 150.2, 24% BF with a goal of shredding down to 135 or 17% BF which ever comes first. My ultimate goal is to build enough muscle to be 150-155 with 18-20%BF.

I'm 5'11 and currently 164lbs. After losing over 3 stone in total, I was feeling pretty chuffed with myself. However a recent visit to the gym to get my body fat percentage measured, came back with a reading of 33%. So i'm now on a programme of interval cardio and some resistance training to try and get that number down. I think i worked out I needed to lose 10lbs of body fat to be at a 'good' body fat percentage.

We'll see how that goes, at least it's been a kick up the backside which we all need every now and then (well some of us!)

I am 511 and currently at 225. My goal to start is 190/180 and see how I feel at this weight. As tall women we carry our weight differently and it really depends on what you are comfortable with. I want muscle definition so I have been lifting weights and doing cardio. I want to have curves, definition and just feel better. If you look at how my weight is proportioned I think I would look like a crack head at 150 or below so I wouldn't want to lost that much. Just a comfortable healthy weight. Im in a size 14 now and I wouldn't mind getting to a 12,10,8 and just see how i feel. Alot of times it is personal preference.

I'm 5' 10" and a smidge and I just got down to 175, size 12s are starting to get a little big. Funny how for some people a size 12 is "plus size" and for me it's right at the top of normal BMI. My mom, who is 5' 11", weighs 10 pounds less than I do but wears a 16. Just depends on how tight the pounds are on your frame! Now that I'm closing in on what I thought would be my goal weight, I find I care less what the scale says and more how my arms and abs look and what size is on my jeans tag.

I would suggest that you purchase a Body Fat scale to know your lean body mass. Once you know your lean body mass then you can calculate a healthy weight for your body type/frame.
The attached link is to a website that addresses this very well and is simple to follow.

At 160-165 I am a pant size 8 and a medium top. I can squeeze into a 6 dress if it isn't tight in my hips and a small top if it is not tight across my shoulders or arms (i.e. Tank tops or stretch tops) That is my goal weight. I am pretty muscular so I don't think I would be able to get much below that. I care more about how I look, feel and clothing size rather then weight.
