Women 5'10 to 6'0: What is your goal weight?

Sometimes I wonder what planet I was supposed to live on. At 5'9" and 185 lbs, I wore a 16 pant size, with an occasional large-sized 14. I have hips, yes, but... well. Doesn't currently matter. I'm 230# after having a set of twins a year ago; have gained since Halloween (was 203). HELP ME OBI WAN! #ugh

Hi! I just started back on here again. I'm 5'10", currently at 160-170 (I don't have a scale at school!) and would like to get around 130, just because that's what I think my body looks best at. On the BMI calculator I looked at, it says that 129-174 is the estimated normal weight range for my height. But it all depends on the person! Whatever you think you will look best at, go for that. Good luck everyone

I'm 5 10 and in the low 170s. I started at 230 with a GW of 180 but have gradually moved it down as I still see pudge. Losing slowly now though and aiming for 160. Currently wearing size 10 but it's quite loose and needs a belt.

Bumping this for suggestions! My goal weight is set at 140 as the last time I was in a healthy weight range, 20 years ago, sigh, I was 133 pounds. However, at 336 pounds when I started it seemed so far away anyway. Now I'm 248, I'm wondering whether 140 pounds is realistic for a 6 foot woman!

Well, according to the BMI charts, 140 on a 6' woman is the very lowest weight you can go without being underweight. Of course, there are exceptions for individuals, and BMI is just a general guideline. I'm 5 inches shorter than you and in my profile pic I'm your original weight of 133 pounds. People think I'm scrawny. Not sure how that would look on a full-grown, 6 ft tall adult woman. My sister's almost 6 feet tall and she looks good in the 150's through 160's. Everyone's different, though. :flowerforyou:

*Edited for typo.

mybodygallery.com can give you a few ideas on what weights would be ideal based on body type and what not.

I have been looking for other tall ladies to see what their calorie goals are as well as weight goals! I am 33y/o and 5' 9.5". I am in the high 160s currently and my goal weight is set for 150, but I don't know if that's too low. I might change it to 155 once I get to 160. I am eating 1500 calories (1800 when I work out) and have been losing about .5 a week but it has been stalling. What are you all doing? Are any of you tall girls eating more and losing? I do workout 5 days a week - should I be eating more? Feel free to PM me or add me as a friend!

I tend to eat 1650-1800 depending on the day. With doing nothing, I tend to burn around 2250. Though most days I'm doing something, so I often am burning 2400-2700. I generally do two heavy lifting days per week (3x5 program), two days of HIIT (usually hill sprints) and then walk 4-6 days per week for 3-6 miles (over the week I average 15-25 miles walking/hiking). I also now do one refeed day where I eat at maintenance -- usually Sat -- after I had a 3+ week stall to induce the release of water (haven't stalled since). Over a week, I tend to average a deficit of 5000-6000 cals.

For the past 8 weeks or so, I've been averaging a loss of a little under 1.5 lbs per week though the loss each week has varied a good deal -- a gain of 0.4 lb one week and as high as 3.2 lb. loss another -- wily water retention issues! I started at 192 and am now at 179 (and size 10), aiming to eventually be around 155-165 (size 6 or 8). I'm 5'9" and 35.

I am 5'11 and currently weigh about 140-145, my goal is 125 but I do still think I am healthy at the moment.

125 is extremely underweight for your height!

I think this depends a little on genetics too. I'm naturally ectomorphic, I'm 5'10" 126 and my bf% is 13. I have normal periods, sleep, etc and I don't look emaciated. I just went to the doc and she said Im healthy as can be! My point is, don't aim low, but don't assume low is extremely underweight.

While there are some who may be healthy at lower weights than the low on the BMR scale. She is 1" taller than you and looking to be 1# less than you. 13% bf is quite low for many, I am glad you are healthy but your example is not the average persons experience.

5'9" 165 lbs for me.

5'10". Originally thinking I wanted to get to 120, but....That seems so unrealistic now. So while I'll leave my counter in my signature, I think I'm going to aim more for measurements and body fat %.
