    I'm 5'9 and my goal weight is 136 ( my weight for most of my adult life). Tall girl weight goals are very different than short girl weight goals :)

    I'm 5'11 and my goal weight is around 140ish. I'm currently sitting at 147, which is fine, but I'd like to tone up a little and cut down the body fat. I'm in sunny Florida :happy:

    Hi! I'm 5'11". I started out at 302 in February and am down to 265 as of this morning. I don't really have a set weight in mind where I want to stop, but I figure I'll know when I'm done! I've been a size 18-22 for forever. Now things are starting to fall off. My guess is I stretched them all out at my biggest size. Not really sure what my true size is. Feel free to add me if you want!!

    I'm 5' 11" and my goal weight range is 170 - 175...I started out at 306 lbs and wearing a size 26. I am now 168 lbs! So I've been re-evaluating my ideal range because I'm toning up and losing inches. I live in New York and am currently rocking a size 12!

    Im 5' 11". At my heaviest (around 3 years ago) I was 191lbs and dropped, through Weightwatchers, to 157. Trouble was, as soon as I slacked off from that regime it crept back up, over a year or so, to 177!! After discovering MFP and the Gym, Ive hopefully got a grip on it now and am currently at 155. Im sort of happy at this, but maybe just a couple more off would be nice - to get below the 11 stone mark would be an achievement for me!!!

    Im in rainy Yorkshire, England! x

    I am between 5'11" and 6' depending on who measures me. SW: 193 CW:185 First Goal: 175 and then possibly down to a final goal weight of 165. I have not been below 170 since I graduated high school, and you can see my ribs at 155 so I know I don't want to go that low. Currently living in Virginia.

    Hi, I am 5'11 (and a bit!), starting weight was 266 - am down to about 214 now and am looking to get to about 180 and see how I feel then. I am 45 and would love to make friends with people of a similar weight/height/age?

    oh, and I am in Ireland.

    Andi, from Boston, 5'11 and hoping to get down to 20-22% bodyfat. Most likely that will put me around 170ish lbs. :smile: with us tall girls, it's ALL relative...

    Hi, I'm 5'10. Goal weights for tall girls are definitely different than shorter girls!

    Hi there, calling out from St. Louis! I am 5'10". I started out on New Year's Eve at 166 lbs, currently 144, and my goal is between 130-135. My goal also is to feel and be healthy as I train to go back into running. I eat amply and exercise about 3-5 days a week for an hour at a time. Good luck on your venture and have a great day! :)

    5'11 here too. Started off around 158 and now at 140 and BMI 19.5, but my goal weight was 142 which is my pre-baby weight. I thought I looked too skinny below 142 but I've gone "clean" and partial paleo and have muscle definition so I'm fine with what my body is doing at this point. And I'm strong for the first time ever :o)

    Maybe we need a tall chick forum?

    I am 5'10", 42 yrs. old, started at 385 lbs (ugh) and am at 363 lbs today. -22 in about 5 weeks. My goal is 240 lbs. I know that sounds high to most of you but I am keeping it realistic from where I am starting. I've been obese my whole adult life, overweight since 12 yrs. old.

    I could use some friends/support on this site! Add me if you're game.

    Good luck!

    I'm 5'10. My starting weight was 240 lbs. I'm currently 226 lbs but my goal weight is 170 lbs. I might go to 155lbs once I reach my first goal.

    I'm 5'10, maybe 5'10.5 i've weighed between 132 and 190. at 132 i looked absolutely sickly. my goal is to get to 145, which is what i weighed in my profile pic.

    ladies our height probably shouldn't really weigh any less then 140. unless you have no muscle, which is a problem all it's own, or you are only of those lucky people who's skeleton is tiny.

    TALL GIRLS UNITE! ;)

    I'm 5'11", started off at around 230. Initially my goal weight was 185... I told myself through the entire journey i would NOT weigh myself... after people started noticing I was dropping pounds I jumped on the scale and lo and behold 174 looked back at me! The lightest I have ever been was 162 (currently sitting at about 170 because I'm a TERRIBLE binge/emotional eater) but SO WANT to be around 155... just to see how my body looks.

    SN: I hate it when I tell people that I want to lose more weight because their initial answer is 'But you look great! You're so tall it would look really bad if you were any skinnier." keep in mind these are the same people that told me i wasnt fat, i carried my weight well ... when i was 230 pounds!

    nice to meet ya'll, from columbia, missouri

    Bump! I'm very happy to find a group of tall ladies! I am 45, 5'10+ and live in Michigan. I started out at 158 and am now holding steady at 149. I started MFP during Lent to focus on healthy eating and exercising more. Its worked great! I eat much better when I have to write it all down. :)

    Hi! I'm 6'0" and currently 166lbs. My HW was 214lbs, and I'm working on getting back down to 160lbs (where I was last October after my triathlon).
    Once I'm back at 160, it's really more about fitness and building muscle for me.
    Dallas, TX is my current homebase.

    omg i have the same thing!! "you couldn't possibly weight 145 and be healthy" "you look great the way you are" GRRRR!!!

    taller people do carry excess weight better, because it is more spread out, but it doesn't change the fact that at my current weight, according to bmi, and my weigh scales body fat calculator, i'm over weight.

    Hi Ladies! I'm 5'10 SW 315 CW 242 GW 175. My goal weight may change but as for right now I think 170ish would be ideal.

    I live in Utah. My SW was 396 six years ago. I did have gastric bypass and lost 160 but ended up gaining back 60 of it. I started watching what I was eating and have now lost those 60 lbs again. I am currently sitting at 240 and my goal weight is 170.

    I'm 5 '10' and my weight goal is 154. The lowest I have ever been in my life was 138 lbs., but i didn't look very good at that weight so i will be happy with 154 which is where i look best at.

    hey :D

    I'm 5' 10.5'' and my doc wants to see me at 150lbs. However I am aiming for 170, honestly as long as I get under 200 and can hold steady I think I'll be happy, and much healthier then I am now :) You can always re-*kitten* the situation.
