Goal weight for 5'10 female?

I'm 20 years old and 5.10, currently about 154-156 pounds and a size 4. My goal weight is 140.

It is quite interesting to see the range of goals! I'm so jealous of the people who are at 160 lbs or so and look amazing in their pictures! I'm 25 years old, 5'10" and weigh 146 lbs, but I still feel a bit flabby. My goal is currently set to 135.

I imagine no one's commented because they think you must be joking. A Dr. would not be happy with that weight, it's beyond the border of body dysmorphia at that stage I think.

Hi im at 182 pounds at the moment so overweight but i am long term aiming for 150lbs

I'm 5`9 and I would like to be 160 (to be healthy again) and then once I reach that goal, my new goal (and final goal) will be 145 lbs.

I'm 5' 9 1/2" @ 155 I was told to not loose anymore weight. Now at 209 my goal is 160/ depending on weight from muscle.

Thanks for all the posts. All great info and interesting perspectives...

I'm 5'10", riding the rollercoaster of weigh gain/loss over the years. Lowest adult weight—165 in college (1983). Highest—380 (2004). I was VERY thin at 165—this was a hard weight to stick to! At 380, I was in horrible pain.

I've been an athlete since youth, so have more muscle tone than most thinner women. During one weight loss period, I felt terrifically healthy at around 195 (size 12)—most folks thought I weighed about 155 and didn't believe my weight number. Anything in the range of 180-190 would feel amazing!

I'm told by most trainers that if you're athletic and have more muscle, your weight will be 15-20% more than the "usual" guidelines. 150 would be quite thin and not too healthy for me. I'm not at all worried that I don't fit the "norm".

Currently I'm at 285 (starting at 330 at late-Feb, 2014). My current goal is to see how I feel at 200lbs., and go from there. A weight of 180 may feel great or may feel too thin—not sure until I'm there! As many people posting here say "it's all about how I feel, and not about the number!"

I've used this site to truly be aware of what I'm putting in my mouth, and what my activity level is. It keeps me honest.

My goal for the next 28 days is to lose 1lb per day (we'll see how this goes, considering I've been on this track full time for a good two months, with a 3lb per week loss). I'll shift to a 3lb loss per week for the following 3 months. The final couple months will have a goal of 2lbs. per week.

In the end, it will be as it is, and I'll still be a happy person, grateful to feel amazing!!!

I'm 5'10 and weigh 173.6 as of today. I was 186 at the start of the summer. I want to weigh 150, I think. I definitely want to be between 155-165.

Currently at 170, i felt great at 140! .. 126 one day though would be perfect.

Just dropping by to offer some encouragement.

I started at about 220#. I'm about to hit a new number, into the 180s, in the next week or two. My driver's license expires this year and I'm excited to have two "convict" photos to compare, as I can see the difference in how I look now compared to a couple years ago.

I feel fit and healthy at around 170#. Before I got sick, I was 170-175# or so and felt about right. This is a size 12 for me, as I have "good birthin' hips".

When I get back to 170# and maintain there for a while, I will see how it feels. I suspect being 40 might make that weight feel different than it did when I was 30. Maybe? Tell you when I get there.

We have a friend the same height as me who is a women's professional cyclist. She is ripped at 140#.
