6ft tall women, what is your goal?
Replies

By the way, I run, swim, walk my dogs, and do yoga (all kinds). I used to lift weights but am taking a break from that for multiple reasons.
What does everyone else do for their workouts?
I just started the program in New Rules for Lifting for Woman. I am not a fan of cardio so I'm hoping strength training will help.0 -
I don't understand the +25 lbs.
If you had 175 lean +25 fat, that would be unhealthy 12.5 % body fat.
How is 12.5 % body fat unhealthy for a woman? a "healthy fat % for women is 23-25%. Do you mean under fat?0 -
I'm 5'11 and started doing MFP at 322 pounds which is my highest weight ever. I have a very large build and hope to get to 199. If I could get to 180 I would be so thrilled but when I was at 200 I felt really good. My lowest weight was 160 (pre-baby) and I was sickly thin so I don't think I want to go that low again. My first weigh-in is tomorrow!! Weeeee!0

I am 6ft and just had a baby girl a month ago
CW 225
Short term GW 200
Long Term GW 175
and I rock the heels as well, but my husband id 6'7 so I get away with it0 -
Holy Cow! You're going to have a very tall child!!0

I'm just over 6ft tall, I'm currently around 267 and my goal is 185-190. I have quite a large frame, and a decent muscle mass to preserve, so I think trying to get lower than that would be some wishful thinking!0
-
I'm 6'1" and my goal is 180. When I get much below that, I get asked if I'm sick I tend to have dark circles under my eyes and being thinner enhances them.
I always dread telling people my ideal weight is what most women would hate to weigh I always have to go into the 'its because I'm so tall' (which sometimes I hate hearing even)0 -
You all should check out this group:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/90-totally-tall-women-of-mfp
Anyway:
I am 5'10" and my goal is 150ish or where ever I am when my belly firms up!0 -
I'm 5'11"1/2
SW: 215 (after my third child in 2009 and usually got around 250 with each pregnancy *yikes* with 9lb+ babies)
CW: 166 ( dropped 30 pounds since October 2011 with the help of a personal trainer and MFP food diary)
My goal weight is 160 and I will see how I feel once I get there. I am at the point now where I want to start focusing on building lean muscle/definition.0 -
I'm 6'0, and my goal weight is 170-180. I ROCK heels all day everyday. lol. I LOVE my heels!!!!0
-
I'm 5'10" 1/2 and my goal is 175...I've been at this for almost 3 weeks 5 pounds as of last Thursday just using MFP, going for walks with hubby and doing some wii boxing, you'd be surprised at how much of a workout that is! My start weight May 10 was 330 which is the heaviest I've ever been. I'm hoping to lose enough weight to sort out my PCOS issues so we can have a baby Nice to know there are other tall girls out there!!0

According to the lean body mass calculations + 25lbs, my goal should be 148. Personally, I would look unhealthy and strange that small.
When I was 145 in high school, I was constantly defending my eating habits because I was "too thin." I never felt confident at that weight. I didn't FEEL too skinny, but I lacked confidence. I think I was most happy with 170. I can't even imagine ever being 170 again. Gah! One day at a time!0 -
i'm about 5'10'' or 5'11'', and my weight right now is 156.5ish...I'm a competitive figure skater, dancer, and tennis player (weird combo,right?!) so i have a lot of lean muscle...but i still feel like i need to lose about 10 more lbs...just to get the extra pudge off from around my middle and upper arms! If you all are muscular, definitely aim higher than what i am! so basically...
SW-161
CW-156.5

Hey chicks. I'm 5'11 and 1) I LOVE heels - in them as much as possible. 2) I am large athletic build - big head , big feet, big hands. When I was in college and high school playing ball, running, etc I was 150-160. all muscle. Now I am 220 after 3 kids. The youngest is 2 and I would like to be 210lbs. Long term maybe 200 but I don't like the look below 200. I know what BMI says but below 200 is a bobble head look! ugh!0

Twins!
I'm also 6'1", i'm currently in the 260's and my first goal is 225, then my 2nd goal is 199, with my ultimate goal being 180. I got down to the 190's several years ago and was a nice UK size 16 (US 12).0 -
im 5'11 and my aim is 150, but i dont want to focus on weight right now, just size. i want to fit into medium tops and pants, not large. and i want to be toned.0
-

I was always really, really thin growing up. It wasnt until I got married and started BC that I really put on lbs. I was 130 when I met my husband (03) and I've seen pictures where I looked sick and underweight. I was 160 when we got married and all up until I had my son. I got to 152 due to bad morning sickness.0 -
I am 5-11
I started at 270.0 and finally hit 198.2
I did nothing but cardio AT FIRST, BUT I am starting to get into toning(instanty, Jillian Micheal's, low weights at the gym)
My ideal weight is 189.0
FEEL FREE TO ADD ME:)0 -
we'll 179 would be nice...lol...my thing is I got alot of blessings in many areas so I gotta be careful not to loose to much...hard to carry these things around...lol
NICE TO FINALLY MEET WOMEN ON HERE AROUND MY HEIGHT:) Feel free to add me0 -
I'm 6ft my goal weight is between 175lbs - 180lbs
Current weight is 257lbs
But we will see when i get closer to target.0 -
Gosh, I've never seen so many tall girls I'm one place, I'm usually the exception! I'm 6ft exactly and am 193 lbs ATM, but started at 198.8 never got to 200, but only just missed it!
I was at my happies around 165175 not too slim but a nice figure, I seem to look like skeletor if I got less than that, but since babies my body shape has changed so it might be different, my hips are deinatley going to take longer to go!
So my gw is 160 - 33lbs to go
But I want 20 gone by graduation (5th July)!0 -
I'm 5'11" and fluctuating around 180. I was 250 when I stopped weighing so I'm not sure how heavy I really got. I put on weight after 2 foot surgery's and stayed that way for almost 5 years until I just said enough is enough! I am small boned so my goal weight is 155 but really I feel comfortable anywhere in the 160's. Anything less than 150 and I look anorexic.
PS
I LOVE to wear heels too. It doesn't matter what other people think or ask, I'm very proud of my height!0 -
Where have you people been all my life, lol, no matter where I go I am the tallest woman (and often tallest human being )
My goal is 72 or 73 kg. I do have naturally wide hips and broad shoulders, and often feel ashamed of it because I feel like miss Trunchbull0 -
I'm 6'1.5" and about 80kg (176lb) and I've been 5lb lighter and I've been 20lb heavier, but I've never looked fit or slim or toned or healthy. I am no longer overweight but I'm quite jiggly and still fairly well insulated!
I am hazarding a guess that it will take until I'm 71kg to look like I want to, and that's based on a picture of a semi-athletic girl I saw in a magazine who was exactly my height... plus I imagine the fat I have to lose in blocks of butter, and it seems to add up.
Good to know there are plenty of taller ladies on MFP - I'm guessing I'm not the only one who has been told they don't need to lose weight or that they carry it well, and whilst I know it is well intentioned it becomes frustrating. Also, I'm a big fan of heels. Not because they're comfortable - cos they ain't! - but because if I don't wear them and everyone else does, I feel like I'm not special anymore. Stupid, I know...0 -
I'm 5'10 and around 155. I'd love to be 145, though I'm pretty happy with my weight, other than my legs. But I've never liked my legs. They are very long but not lovely.0

I don't understand the +25 lbs.
If you had 175 lean +25 fat, that would be unhealthy 12.5 % body fat.
How is 12.5 % body fat unhealthy for a woman? a "healthy fat % for women is 23-25%. Do you mean under fat?
I have a feeling this should have been "add 25%" instead of add 25lbs.
A woman with 12.5% body fat most likely won't be getting her period. 12% body fat is low even for a very fit man.0 -
I'm 5'10" (maybe 9.5", but I'm holding onto that 1/2 inch for as long as I can!) & my current weight is 176 - I'm working on 30DS Level 3 (I'll be doing day 13 today) & hoping that I'll be toned & happy when I complete all 30 days. I'm seeing a lot of goal weight comments in the 140s & that scares me....here's my stats:
SW: 186.6
CW: 176.6
GW: 165 (I would be thrilled!!)
Add me if you want - I could use some tall friends0 -
I am 5' 10" and the "runt" of my family. I was really thin as a young adult - high 120's to low 130's. After marriage and a desk job, I was around 145. After kids, I hovered in the low 170's. Now that my daughter is a teenager (major stress) and I hate my job (more stress), I maxed at 190. I am finally getting real and accepting that there is no quick fix for this. I didn't get this way overnight so it will take some time to get rid of the excess. I'm down to 185 and would love to see 150 again. The irony is I spend so much time trying to control everything around me that I ignore the one thing I should have complete control over - what I eat.0
