I am 5' 11" (181cm) looking for other members who are near this height or taller! Im just interested in what peoples goal weights are, also if any have had back problems (probably not helped by being tall and bigger than should be)??

    I'm 6'3 - 6'5 depending on who is measuring. My goal weight isn't as important to me as my body fat%. Im hoping to get to and maintain 10-12%. I am currenly at 19% as I just did my measurement today. I've had issues with my upper and lower back but thats due to sports/military injuries. Having a gut doesn't help me either since it puts extra stress on my lower back. :( I did purchase a foam roller a few weeks ago and that has helped. Also being mindful of what types of exercises you do and proper form is vital as well as stretching. Good luck!

    Oh, wait...was this for woman only? If so, my apologies....I don't fit that category. ;)

    I'm 5' 10" and currently I'm working on getting to 200 lbs, lose more if I gotta, because of my height I don't know what I'd look like at that weight.

    I'm 5'8" and currently 184. My goal is 160. The lightest I've ever been in my adult life is 155lbs before my wedding in '04 and anything lighter then that makes me look pretty scawny and not healthy. I think 160 would be great!!!

    I am 5'9 and a half, and sort of at my goal, sometimes a few Ibs below, which was 125Ibs.
    Feel free to add me, anyone who wishes to, but bear in mind, I suffer from bulimic tendencies and the usual insecurities that come with that. I am very supportive though and do my best to advise and to respond to daily updates. :)

    I am also 5' 11" and my goal is 165lbs (what I weighed 4 years ago before nursing school). I am currently 174.5 and some people have told me that I shouldn't lose any more weight, but I still have that lower belly gut (it is smaller, but still viable) I think I will just continue until I am happy then stop, no matter the number. I would also like to join the tall women group.

    I am 5' 10" and am at 135 pounds, a goal which MFP is helping me maintain. I still have plenty of body fat, and fit into a size 8 or 10. I am also 51, with not much of a metabolism. I stay around 1200 calories a day, but with a little exercise, I can eat more.
