Are there any other ladies out there that are tall like me?

Most threads I come across, the women tend to be more petite at 5ft-5ft3.

I am 5ft9 and my goal weight is to be 149lbs, puts me at a BMI of 22.

How about all you other tall ladies?

    I am 5ft 11 and I am aiming to be at 160lbs, which would give me a BMI of 22, so about the same goal as you PrincessLou. Best of luck!

    Nice to see some ladies with roughly the same GW as me.

    Most people I see want to be between 110 and 125 which would put my BMI at 15 - 18, waaaaaaaaaaaaay too low.

    hey,

    im 5ft11 and my goal weight by june is 168 not sure what that BMI is but i'll be happy to be that weight and hopefully atlot more toned... if i weighed much less i would look stupid i think.. us tall girls can carry weight better.. plus our height means we have more bone mass making us heavier in general.. thats my theory and im sticking to it! :)

    hey there

    5ft 10 and wanting to 165lbish

    That puts me in an england size10/12 comfortably and is at the further end of my weight range so at the middle to bottom I could in reality be as skinny as a super model.......maybe NOT!!!

    I'm not one to judge but that will put your BMI at 15-16. That's not healthy.

    I'm 5'9" and my original goal weight was 65 kilos (around 144 pounds), but I recently upped that to 70 kilos (around 154 pounds). I do a lot of strength training as opposed to cardio and at the rate I am dropping measurements compared to how slow I am dropping weight I doubt I will want to reach my original goal, my new one is only a tentative and may change as I get closer and my body changes further.

    I am 6 ft and am aiming for 183 lbs (83k), which will put me at just under 25 BMI. I think this is a reasonable weight for myself and not the lower weights shown in the BMI range of 20 -25. I'm big boned (seriously, not just a excuse) My wrists are 8 inch/ 21cm.

    Anybody else 'big boned' AND tall?

    I'm 5'8" and am currently weighing 194. My heaviest was 219 so I've lost some. My first goal is to get to 179 which I had been until I moved last year. Then my final goal is 165.

    I am 5'9 and aiming for 160lb, for now. I would really like 140...but, I don't want to get discouraged by a goal that seems so far away. I am big boned, too...can't do that whole fingers around the wrist thing. My 9 yr old DD's wrist is larger than her g'ma's!
