Looks like I'm one of the tallest on here! SCORE! hahaha. I love being tall!
I'm 6*4 and have a very large frane
My HW was 353 and in Lane Bryant jeans (curse them to HELL!!) I wore a 28
My CW is 339.3 and i'm in the same size... dresses I wear a 24 in though and shirts I wear 2x or 3x depending on the fabric
My LW was about 250 (in high school) and I wore a 16/18
All through college I was between 275/280 and I wore between 20/22
Honestly, i just can't wait to be back down to a 22! And0 -
Interesting how sizes vary.
I am about 6' 1/2" and currently weigh 169, and my best fitting jeans are 14, but I also still wear my size 16 ones even though they're a little baggy. When I was 189 (my highest nonpregnancy weight at the beginning of this year) I had just bought some size 18 dress pants. They were kind of big around the waist but I needed it for my ever-growing butt. They are now way too big all over and I am going to give them to a tall friend.
Sounds like I should start shopping at American Eagle...apparently I'd be a 10 in their jeans! (Yeah, I know the number doesn't really matter, blah blah blah)
Man, I'm glad some one else thought this!!!
I'm 6' CW 190....wearing mostly 16 pants. I've never even *stepped a foot n* AE....
It's interesting what people's goal weights are. I've not totally decided, but I think I'd like to be around 170-175. I'd be solidly in the middle of "normal" BMI. I'm still "overweight" BMI, but SOOOOO close. I can hardly wait!
I'd lost 60+ (over 1 1/2 years) before joining MFP....but these last 15 lbs. seem to be the toughest.0 -
I'm 6'0", and my current weight is 214. This is my highest weight. I weighed in the 190s most of my adult life and worse 12-14 but in the last couple of years my weight has gone up, and I wear size 14 pants but they don't fit very well! Hoping to get back below 200...0

Okay I'm super late on this post but I can't fall asleep for some reason lol.
I'm right at 6'1
My HW:310
CW:289...I have a weigh in soon though.
LW: in high school lol I was about 205...I can't remember, but I have always been overweight.
Now here's the fun part lol, I currently wear a size 18, some of them are fitting to big and some too tight(ugh!). Size 20 is too big on my waist but fits my legs and thighs and most of my 18's fit my waist but and are sometimes a little to snug on my thighs. My bootay lol..is ummm not big lol but its not a pancake either, Ive never really had a problem in that area but its way more noticeable when my waist is smaller. My chest area I am praying I lose some weight in that department I am currently a 44dd. So with my shirts I am mainly a 2x but it depends on if it is a true 2x...some are too big and some are too tight. My goal weight is 200 or 190, I know some may think that is a little high but I have a large body mass. My goal size is a 12/13, I will see when I get there. I wish everyone the best on their journey!0 -
Hi!
I am exactly 6 feet.
CW: 205-210 (depends on the day lol). I wear a size 14 in most things but will go up to a 16 in juniors/short dresses for length. I also am a DD cup, so that factors in too!
GW- 165-175. My original goal weight was 165 but I feel like that might be too low since I run/strength train a lot. I weighed about 170 at my thinnest in my adult life and I was about a size 10, and people told me I looked too thin. I am guessing now that I am much more muscular I will probably get to 175 and just maintain from there.0 -
PS- I weigh at least 20lbs more than my mom. We are the same height and she wears way bigger clothes than me. She is also a small/medium frame whereas I am a very large frame.0

5'11 1/2, 33 years old, large/medium frame (kinda in between)
At 190 I was a very tight 14 (SW) (38D bra size, L/XL tops)
At 170 I was a loose 12/tight 10 (L/M Tops, 34DD bra)
At 165 I was a 10 (M tops, 34DD bra)
157 I was an 8 (GW) (S/M tops, 32DDD bra)
At 153 I'm a 6 (sometimes an 8, sometimes even a 4, depending on the store) (S tops, 32DD bra)
I think the smallest I've ever been before this was an 8/10, I figured I'd never see a 6 EVER. MFP makes miracles come true!0 -
Hi, I am 6ft tall,
Age: 24
SW: 280lb plus
CW: 260lb
GW: 175lb
I am a size 16-18, sometimes a 20. Depends what shop. I don't really understand the whole small frame large frame thing so I will go with medium
At the minute my bra size is 36-38 C.
I have no idea what I weighed when I was slim but I wore a size 14 I believe. I will let you know when I get there!0 -
Hi, I am your height. I weigh 171. I wear a 10 or 12. Depending on the make. I am medium framed and pear shaped. I wear a medium in tops, sometimes a large to get the length long enough0
-
I just asked my doctor this question when I was there. I am 5'11 1/2, and I don't have small bones, and I've got one hell of a butt! HAH! Anyways, I told her my goal weight was around 160, and she said for a goal like a wedding, that might be ok, but she thought that was a little low for maintaining. I would say 170 is probably a healthy weight. I am 196 right now, at a size 12/14. I am hoping for a size 8. That might be small though.0
-
I am 6'2" 177 lb wear a size 12 jeans and xl-1x tops and I feel healthy! I swear they just make clothes really tiny these days 0
-
I'm exactly 6' with I think a medium frame.
HW 162
CW 144
Pants: 6
Shirts: small
Dress: 4 or 6 (bigger on bottom, small on top, no boobs - dress shopping is tricky)
I was always quite thin as a kid and all through high school. College and 20s I fluctuated from 150-160 which is a perfectly healthy range so I never worried much. But since I have no boobs and weight goes straight to my tummy and thighs I just don't look good in the 160 range. I'm jealous of you ladies with more up top!0 -
6'0" large frame here
HW - 283lbs - probably a 20/22 and XXL in shirts
238 - 16 jean, XXL in tops
210 - 14 jean, XL in tops
CW 199 - somewhere between a 12 an 14 in jeans, and probably a large in shirts.0 -
I am 6ft. CW: 255lb, size 16-18 in dresses and size 18-20 in pants, but I never wear trousers because I feel disgusting in them. I want to be 170lb I think. My highest weight was about 280lb, I was about a size 20-22.

Oh my goodness, I am SO THRILLED I found this group. I have always assumed I should look a certain way and have spent my entire life unhappy with my body size, weight, and overall a very poor body image. After reading everyone's post, I understand that each of is unique. I know this sounds pretty elementary and it's kinda like DUH we're all unique. But I would see friends that are a size 6 or 8 and think that I should be that size too and that was in fact ATTAINABLE!!! So here's my stats
Height - 6'3"
CW - 233 pounds, size 14/16
HW - 250 pounds size 16/18
GW - 195-200 pounds ( I think).
I really just want to get back to size 12 and the occassional 14. I'm really unhappy with the weight I've put on, but even my the normal person's standards, I'm like an elephant! I am watching friends lose weight and dress sizes after losing 10-15 pounds and I'm lucky if my clothes feel a little loser after dropping 10-15 pounds. I'm so glad you all are here!0 -
This is an awesome thread! It's so hard to figure out an ideal weight when you're tall (I think)!
So, here's my info:
6' tall
frame: if that's calculated by wrist size, I'm small framed or have long fingers
If it's wide shoulders and/or wide hips, then I'd say large framed? Whatever I am I gain weight in a pear-shape
HW: Not entirely sure but over 200 with pregnancy
CW: 161
GW: 155 or 150 depending on how much "junk" stays in my trunk
Jeans size is a comfortable size 10 from Long Tall Sally or a I-can-just-squeeze-into-these-but-it's-not-pretty size 8
Trying jeans on in any other store for me is pretty useless so I can't help there - I need a 36" inseam or they are too short. But I did shop for capris in my new smaller size recently and was anywhere between a size 10 and 16 at Target. Not helpful.
So excited to have found you ladies!0
