    Hello! I am 6ft and have just started to try and lose weight via MFP. I am getting married in November and am determined to lose weight although I dont have a goal as such I would be delighted if I could lose c 40 pounds in 5 months

    My ideal weight is c 14 stone (196 pounds) I feel good at that weight.

    It's difficult at 6ft as you do weight so much more than your friends e.g I weighed the same as a friend of mine at 5ft 7 but I was 2 dress sizes smaller!

    I am 6' even, and my goal weight was 175. I got down to 180 and realized that 175 would still have me at an unhealthy body fat % so am now aiming for 165.

    6'1 here and my first goal weight is 170, I'm 16 pounds away. Next I want to achieve 160. That's the smallest I would go. I was 150 a few years ago & looked sickly

    I'm 5'9'' and my goal weight is 150. I could go down to 140... maybe. Absolutely nothing lighter than that.

    I am 6'0" and I think my goal is about 184. Although I was pretty happy with 193 a few years ago. I got down to 175 while on weight watchers, but it was too difficult for me to maintain that weight and on me it does not look good. I am bigger boned with broad shoulders and definitely looked too thin on my frame.

    Im 5' 8 (so not quite 6 ft) but my first goal is 165 to get to a healthy weight and then I may re evaulate to 155. I wouldnt go lower then that.

    I am 5'11" and my goal weight is 160. I am at 175 right now, and would be fine if I didn't lose anymore. I was 155 a few years ago and I liked that too (my body shape was different then). Your goal weight should really just depend on your body. It will be different for everyone.

    180lbs. I have to admit last year my goal was 175lbs but then when i achieved 185 last year i was really thin so 180 and toned i think is perfect. I would hate to see what i look like at 175 and i think my husband would agree now seeing what i look like at 185.

    I am 6'1 and my first goal weight is 200 and then I will re-evaluate.
    I feel I have a larger frame, I would prob not get under 185.

    I started at 279 and I am currently 225. My weight goal is probably 200 and then I will reeval after that. My trainer said he sees me at below 200 but we will discuss once I hit that. I am six foot.

    I'm 6ft tall and currently weigh 156 ibs, my goal is 147 llbs. Depending on how I look I may go down to 140 lbs which is still a healthy BMI for my height.

    This thread is really interesting! I am also 6', and want to get down to 185. I was 175 a few (okay, 10) years ago, and looked great, but there is no way I could maintain that weight anymore. I have never been below a size 12 pants, even in high school, but always looked skinny then. Being tall and big boned really changes the way weight looks on the body, I find.

    I'm 6' and my goal weight is 140-150lbs. I weighed 140 before I had kids and I was very comfortable at that weight. I have a smaller build so it doesn't look too thin on me.

    I'm so glad you posted this question because I've been wondering the same thing. I'm 6'1"with a medium/ large frame, and my goal weight is 175 lbs.

    I'm 6ft even and currently 165. I'd like to get to 155-160. I've got a fairly thin frame. I was 168 in my profile picture.
