I am 6'0 and trying to lose 50 lbs. I'm just curious what other tall ladies weigh and what pant size do you wear? I'm not sure if my goals are realistic.....I would like to weigh 150, but I have set my goal for 160 and I would love to fit into at least a size 8. What are your goals?

    Hi - I'm 5'10. I currently weigh 190 and would LOVE to weigh 150 again. I don't think it's unreasonable. I went from a size 16 to a size 14 in the past month. Let's stick together and do this! You can friend me.

    I'm 6' tall and currently weigh 138. I was always 125 (prebaby). I wanted to get back there, but doubt it's possible. I currently wear a size 4.

    Well I am 5'10" and my goal is 150...but I have had trouble breaking below 158. I am at a size 8 right now. Its doable, for sure...I jsut got so happy with my major results thus far that I backed off for a while and keep having trouble getting back into it completely!

    I am 5' 9" and am currently at 180 pant size 12 to 14 (depends what brand and what country they came from), I would like to get down to around 160 and a size 10. For as tall as you are I think 150 would be too thin...you don't want to look like a twig! Love your curves girl :)

    I'm 5'8. I'm currently in a size 16, some 14's. I would live to be in the size 7/8 range. I'm guessing I'd have to be somewhere in the 150-160's to achieve that goal. Right now, just starting out it seems as if it's going to take a long time to make it there though.

    Im 5'7 and a 1/2 lol and currently I weigh 170, I wear a size 11/12 pants and a large shirt. I to am going back and forth with my weight goal because I hold my weight well so Im not sure if I will make it down to 135 I may stop at 150-145 once Im in a healthy range. I would recommend setting a goal and than if you feel you need to change or adjust as you go than you can. My goal is set at 135 but I dont know If I really will look good and healthy at that weight once I tone up so Im waiting to see.. Good luck!!

    I am 5'9" and weigh 144 which is good for me. I started at 151 and really only wanted to get rid of my belly fat. Because I didn't have much to loose it took me at least 4 months to loose the 7 lbs. I wear a size 10 Tall in jeans and can't seem to fit my hips in to a size 8 anymore. However, If you saw me you might think I wear a size 6. Women's clothes sizes are rediculously sized!

    I'm 5' 10 1/2" and when I was talking with my dietician she said a good weight for me to get to would be 220, see how that looks on me and then go from there. I have NEVER had a small figure. Always curvier.

    I'm 5'9 and i started off weighing 190 but after the birth of my son I am at a steady 205. I am aiming on losing 30 lbs which would put me at 175. But i just want to be a healthy weight. So your goals are not unrealistic and i believe you can do it. I want to be a size 10 :-)

    i'm 5'9, so i guess i'm only tall-ish... but i started at 215 and now i'm 174. my goal is around 150. i was a size 16, but now i'm a 12, i'd love to get down to a 6 or 8. i'm not sure if my frame will allow that though. we can hope!

    I'm 5'11 3/4" , and currently at 172. I started at 260, and a size 20. I'm now an 8/10 depending on brand. I'm shooting for 155-160. Hopefully I will be a 6/8 at that point.

    I am 5'11.5 :tongue: I started this at 210 and thought I NEVER would get out of the 200's! I currently weigh 185 and wear a size 12 at most stores but moving to a 10 :) jeans are a loose 31! I feel great and I am at the top of the "healthy zone" of the BMI...just! I am headed to the 170s (goal of 175) but I don't feel like I need to lose as much as I want to tone right now.

    I am 5'10" and started at 194. My goal is 150 and a size 8 pant. I look like a 6 at that weight and wear size 6 dresses as long as they are not tight in the hips. I have gotten down to 145 for a day but that doesnt seem to be where my body wants to stay. I have alot of natural muscle so I do not think I could get any smaller then that and look healthy. IDK though.


    I was inbetween a 12/14 at 194. I have to loose 20 lbs to drop an initial size then it flys down from there.

    I am 5'11, currently weigh 190 and wear a 14 or 16 depending on manufacturer. I also carry most of my weight in my stomach/chest area. My goal weight is 150 but once I get below 160 I am going to concentrate on toning more than the scale so we'll see where I end up!

    5'10" .. going for 150. Size 10...anything smaller than that makes me look skeletal. I think a lot of this depends on bone structure, etc. of each individual.

    I am 5'10. I currently weigh 320!!! My goal is to get down to 170-180 range. I hope once I am there I can take another 40 lbs off . I wear size 22/24. It is very hard to be happy while being this big. I look towards my future and realize there isn't going to be much of one if i don't get the weight off now. i can't even fit into a roller coaster seat!!! they are my favorite thing to do. anyways, good luck to everyone on their weight loss.

    5'8" currently a size 6 depending on the cut I can sometimes pull off a 4, was a 8 almost a 10 when I started MFP (the looming size 10 motivated me).
    Good Luck!

    I'm 5'9" and currently 229 lbs and size 18. I would like to be 160-170 and size 12. I have a big bone structure (it's not an excuse it's true!) and even when I was skinny in jr high and high school I was still a size 10-12 because of my large jutting out hip bones.

    I really don't care what size I'm in or how much I way, I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin and be confident again. After babies I never expect to look the same as I did in high school. Just want to be a better me!

    I'm 5'9 and my doctor and I have talked about this on several occasions. I don't want to be very skinny, and she thinks as long as i'm healthy, there's no need to look like a twig. I like a curvy meaty hour glass figure. So i'm not sure exactly what weight that would put me at, but pant size around 12 would be great for me! Probably around the 210 range.

    I am 5'11 and weigh 218. I've lost 5 pounds since starting on this site. I'm in a size 18 right now but they are starting to get a little loose. I weighed 150 when I graduated high school and looked great. Maybe I will try to get there eventually, but 165 is what I'm shooting for right now.

    I have reached my goal weight of 135. I'm 5'9" tall and wear a six 6 jeans. I say it's always better to make your weight goal a little higher and re-evaluate when you get there. I moved my goal weight several times. What 150 looks like on one body type may look totally different than on another body type. Good luck on your journey!

    I'm 5'10, weigh 155, currenly a size 6. My personal goal is 140 lbs. I want to stress that I'm an athlete and trained dietician, so this goal is not for everyone! You have to take the time to analyze what an attainable goal for yourself is, and what you can realistically commit to. Age, health, and body type all come into play. Once you set that attainable goal, go for it! You can do anything you put your mind to!

    I'm 5'10", currently weight 233 and am wearing 18's. I want to get down to 160 pounds (this is a tentative goal weight...I can't remember when I was last that size, so I don't know how I will look).

    I have a great hourglass figure (big boobs, curvy hips, and tiny waist), and I don't want to be a stick. My main goal is to be healthy and comfortable with my body and still maintain my curves. My fiance would be ticked if I turned into a stick and completely lost my butt and boobs!
