Hey tall girls! 6ft and up! What is your goal weight?

Tall here! Not quite 6 foot, but 5'11... and I hear you, size 12 feet and like an 8/9 in rings and gloves....

I'm 150 now, maintaining around that, though wouldn't mind more in the 140s. My highest weight was 160 and I was a 6/8, now at 150 and with weight training, I am very comfortably a size 4, so don't sell yourself short (pun intended). Get to your goal weight and re-evaluate, you might be surprised and want to go more!

Also, I'm from the UK! So they would be UK sizes

6' checking in. Right now I'm hovering around 215. I have no idea what my goal size would be, but my ideal goal weight is 165-175lbs. I just want to keep losing and finally get under 200!

Goal weight for now is 180ish and I'm a touch over 6'. If I decide to go any lower, I won't go below 165 because then I start looking like I'm malnourished. I'm large framed so the lowest healthy clothes size is usually a 10 to 12 (U.S.). I'm so thin when I'm in a size 10 that no one believes I'm that size because it's so near "media's" idea of plus sized. I also have very large hands , but I have small feet for my height (size 9.5 to 10).

I'm 5 '11, 200, and for my 20s-30s I was 150. In my 40s-50s weight stayed around 175. I just want to be lighter on my feet, so I'll figure out where I should be as I get lighter. When I do the wrist test for bone size I come out to medium-large boned. I wore size 11 shoes for years, but this last year I'm a 12. Thanks for this thread--I don't feel so alone! I've been wearing 14-16 pants, and 8s would be ideal for me. So we'll see.

I'm 5'11 with a medium frame and started off at 255 and a size 20/22.

Over 3 and a half years later, I now maintain between 170 - 175 and very happy at a size 10.

I did not have a goal weight, but I monitored my measurements and focused on improving my fitness. Being strong, fit and healthy was my goal along with keeping some curves and putting on a little muscle. Once I got there and was happy I transitioned into maintenance.

I also lost 2 shoes size as well which has been great for having more options! Also I grew an inch with my weight loss.

Good luck ladies!

I'm 5'11.5 and aiming for around 145 pounds! I started at 210 and I'm currently 160ish and a size 10 (my body fat is quite low so I am smaller at heavier weights). I do a LOT of cardio too.

I'm 5'10", around 180 lbs. after gaining 10 lbs. sophomore year of college my heaviest was about 205 lbs. and a size 12/14. I usually wear a size 10 now, I'd like to be able to wear a size 8 and be around 160 lbs. Your goal weight seems reasonable and a healthy weight, good luck!!

I'm 6 feet and one half inch tall. Size 10 shoes. Size 8 ring finger. I also don't know what a reasonable goal weight is. I started at 208 and now I'm down to 193. I was in size 14 pants (tight) and now size 14 pants fit how they are supposed to in the leg and butt, but are often too big in the waist (I am now comfortably in a size 12 skirt and dress). My initial thought when I started was that I wanted to get in the healthy BMI range, which for my height is exactly 187 pounds. I did think I would try to get in the mid-170s eventually, but honestly that seems impossible. After reading some of these posts, maybe it's not, though. I've been lifting weights and I really do see a difference in my body composition, and am starting to lean more toward tracking inches rather than weight (although the two are correlated, really).

I'm just a smidge under 6 feet tall and set my goal weight at 175, but frankly, 185 would be really great. Dropping 20 pounds will make a big difference and could end up being where I'm happy.
I wear a size 11/10.5 shoe and am not particularly big boned. On the other hand, I'm not willowy or bean pole like in frame either. I have broad shoulders and at times can muscle up quite nicely.
At my thinnest I was 127, but did not look good at all. I think I felt and looked my best in the 155 to 165 range. Once I get over 172, I start to feel a bit sluggish, so you can imagine that I'm not exactly picking them up and putting them down right now.
I have noticed that there are some tall women who are just bigger than others. They seem to me to look quite good and are comfortable in their own skin, so if you are that type, relax. Most of us are some sort of combination of the 3 classic body types and you can't fight genetics too hard.
Those BMI charts don't account for body type (I'm sensing a window of opportunity here), but no one wants to see the word "obese" ever, so I don't blame you for being a little sad.
My first goal is to get just inside the healthy weight range. Perhaps that would work for you as well?

Feel free to add me as a friend. I just started back here last week.

It's so great to hear from tall ladies! I'm 5'11.5" and 148 right now, looking to drop between 6-8 pounds as I'm small framed and ALL my weight is distributed on my thighs/hips... so losing a bit would help me feel more balanced and comfortable in my jeans! And I would love to get a bit stronger and in better shape to keep up with my outdoorsy friends. It's so refreshing to hear from tall women who know that you don't have to be petite to be sexy

Tall starts way below 6 feet!

I'm somewhere between 5'10" and 5'11". My goal weight is 190. I have an extremely long torso, large breasts and I am very muscular.

I don't have goal sizes, but I currently wear size 8 (US) jeans at about 20 pounds above my goal. Not sure if I will get down to a 6--I am more interested in health, feeling good and looking good than on the particular size on the label.

You sound like my body twin! With the exception of our current weights I'm much heavier than you but I'm also 5'11" with a goal weight of 190, also am very muscular (have always been very athletic) and very well endowed haha

Wow we're very similar! Awesome to read about all you talk ladies.
I'm 6 ft and almost 1 inch. SW: 198 CW: 195. Size 12. Aiming for my old weight of 165-175. Same shoe size too. I have a pretty large frame, broad shoulders and hips and ex varsity bball player. I think my skeleton itself weighs about 130 ahaha.

Would love some tall friends on here as I'm only on week 2 of MFP! Good luck and so nice to hear about all your progress. Cheers.
