    I'm 5'10 and had never struggled with my weight until I had my baby.

    My starting weight was 218, I had no idea I was considered "obese" I knew I was chunky, but carried my weight so well since I am tall. When I was in high school I was 145 and too skinny for my bone structure, I had sharp hip bones popping out. So now, I would ideally like to get to about 155. It's a lot of weight to lose, but I've set my goals small and know if I was skinny once, I can do it again.

    I highly recommend Jillian Michaels Ripped In 30! 30 minute workouts. I've only been at it for 2 weeks, dropped 8 lbs and 4" from my hips! I am almost out of the obese category and into the overweight zone! Yay, me!

    I'm 6 feet tall with a large frame. At my fittest, I weighed 170. That was exercising 4 hours a day (in college, playing a sport, training in a martial art, and cycling).
    My dream goal is 180, but I'll be thrilled if I get to 200. (Currently at 234)

    I'm 5'10, 165 lbs. At around 150 lbs I can see abs. My goal is around 155 but with some more muscle.

    Oops, I forgot, just under 6 ft tall (1,82m) ... broad frame, if such things exists. ;)

    I agree! I would love to be abound the 165-170 mark. I don't want to be skinny at all, just a nice healthy midpoint!

    At 5'9" I feel my best at about 145. I'm getting older now, so we shall see how hard it is to get there.

    I would like to be around 200. I'm 6'1". According to BMI, I'm currently obese. The only reason I don't actually believe that is not because I'm in denial, but because if I weighed what I'm "supposed" to (within a normal BMI), I would look/feel far too skinny. I'm not small-boned, and I'm really tall. If I weighed much less than 190, I would be uncomfortable. I would feel like a skeleton. On top of that, when I tell people my actual weight, they think I'm joking. No one believes me when I say, "Yeah, I actually weigh 240. Wanna bust out the scale?"

    At the fittest point in my life (college DI volleyball), I was 195. I looked freaking amazing! I would like to get back to that, and so that's why I really do not believe what BMI tells me. I'm going to try to do what my body tells me, and not what the numbers tell me. :)

    P.S. I've never had a place to kinda vent about this stuff. Most people shrug me off or say, "You look fine. Don't worry about it."

    I'm 5'10" and my ideal weight is 155lbs. I've been this weight before and it made me about a size 4-6 in women's clothing. I've got a long way to go to get back to that though.

    I'm 6' and 161lbs at the moment. Aiming for somewhere between 130-140lbs, we'll see when I get there. I have small bone structure and feel better at the lower end of the healthy scale.

    My lowest weight at this height was 152lbs. That doesn't sound thin but apparently for my frame I can't get much thinner without looking sick. At that time, my mom was convinced I was doing drugs (I wasn't) because I was so thin. *shrug* I was healthy and I thought I looked fit, not thin.

    Yep that was around the point that I "bottomed out", I was 148 lbs, I'm 5'9". Apparently I started looking sickly too and I was pretty pale and my face and hip bones were getting gaunty looking. I'm aiming for 150-155 lbs now. That seems to be the good spot for my build, definitely got the most compliments and liked the way clothes fit me at that weight.

    This is a very interesting conversation, thanks OP for posting.

    Im 5ft 10-11in and have a goal weight of between 154lbs and 168lbs (11st to 12st). I have been as low 154lbs before, but that was a good 7 years ago and I had a very different lifestyle, so unsure if I can make it there again. Will see how I feel when I hit 168lbs and go from there.

    I'm 6 feet and I'm shooting for 175, which was my "heavy" weight when I was single.

    In my younger years, I maintained a weight of 160. **sigh** And I thought I needed to lose 10 more pounds! Looking back at the pictures, it was a good weight for me. I'm going to try and get there again, but I'm not going to tear myself up about it.

    My oldest sister is 6 feet 1-1/2 inches and she has at various times weighed as little as 130. Now, at age 60, she's at 150. The difference between us is really muscle mass - I have done weight lifting, martial arts, strength training and in general built more muscle mass than she has. I will never, ever see 150, much less 130.

    What I do need to learn is that just because I CAN carry more weight before anyone notices, doesn't mean it's an excuse to do so. The flip side of that is I have to lose a lot of weight before anyone notices. I can lose 30 pounds before anyone says "You look different - have you done something different with your hair?" LOL!

    I am 6 feet tall. At 225 I were a loose and comfortable size 12. I carry the bulk of my weight in my chest and thighs. Ideally, I would like to weigh about 180-185. I'm a big woman, big feet, triple D bras etc. Does anyone have a printable grocery list for clean eating. I am at work right now and a lot of pages are blocked.

    I find body differences so fascinating.

    I'm 6 feet tall and currently between 220 and 225 (depends on the day) and I wear a tight size 16. I'd have to lose another 15 pounds to get into the size 14 stretch shorts I bought last year.

    The last time I fit a size 12, I weighed 155 pounds. For about 2 weeks. LOL!
