Apparently to be a BMI of 22-23 which is healthy, I have to be 170 pounds/80. But tis seems so drastic 
Whats your goal and progress so far? (pics would be nice for inspiration ^_^)

I am 5'10.
Used to be 203lbs and a size 14(US) now 140lbs and a size 4.
Got down to 125lbs at my lowest, but I am happiest between 132-135lb range.
From 210lbs (dont count that as I was immediate post-pardum
Photo from 195lbs (3 years after above photo, just after I started my weight loss journey)
Photo at 132lbs (18 months after I started my weightloss)
Photo at 141lbs (which is what I'm at now)
And one more
My BMI is currently 20.3.
I am nearly to my goal (again!) and will be around 19 - 19.5 when I'm done.
Good luck - I'm loving the support on this forum and really glad there is a group for us taller girls! 0 -
I'm 6'0 tall and my goal weight is somewhere in the range of 165-175lbs. I am a large framed individual with a decent amount of muscle, and I am currently about 197. I've lost about 40lbs so far.
You will see a lot of different goal weights for girls our height, because frame size has a lot to do with it. Someone posted a link in this forum somewhere, but the average weight for a large framed woman of 6 feet is somewhere from 159-176lbs. If you have a smaller frame I think its somewhere from 135-151. If I weighed any less than 155 I am pretty sure I'd look like Skeletor! Also, my mom is my height and about 10 lbs less than me and I wear 2 sizes smaller in clothes than she does because she is a small/medium frame and weighed 145 most of her adult life!0 -
Hey! I am 6'1" and my goal is a body fat percent of 18%. I am currently 196lbs with a body fat of 24% measured by my trainer. I have a small frame apparently, and my goal is somewhere in the 155-165 range.0

I'm 6ft, CW: 303, GW: 170 (A whole person!)
I look REALLY good at 155 (size 12) but that was twenty years ago. I want to get to 170 then see what I feel like.0 -
Definitely depends on frame!
My friend is also 5'10 and she's looking amazing at 160lbs.
Which was my first goal weight 0 -
I'm 6' and my immediate goal is to lose 15 more pounds to get under 200. Ultimately I'd like to get back down to 165 (a weight I haven't seen since college) but I could probably be very happy maintaining at 185. I have a small/medium frame but have never been below 157 in my entire adult life.0

I am 5'11. I was 218 in the "before" picture. My goal weight is 160 or 155

Im not 6ft. but I know Frame is a big thing. Im 5'10+ I weigh 295 size 22 with a large Frame (7.5inch wrist)
I know for myself Im a size 12-14 at 230 and there is alot of ladies that dont get to that size till they are under 200.
(I have a super hour glass figure my chest and hips are 58inches and my waist is 41inches).0 -
Thanks guys I measured my frame, apparently it's big. And I'm almost 6ft 3.
I've never been a healthy weight so I guess I'm just not sure how it feels >.<0 -
6'1" Medium Frame
CW: 227
GW: 170
Highest Weight: 270
I hear you when you say that you don't know what a healthy weight would feel like. The only time I've ever been at my goal weight was after 3 months spent hiking through Europe living on sparse amounts of food. I can't imagine going lower than that without a punishing food regimen.
I also don't think it's reasonable for me to go any lower than 170 because I plan to put on some muscle. When I've had more muscle in the past, my weight stayed very high, but my clothes size continued to go down. No one believed how much I weighed at the time (200) because I was so small.0 -
6', medium frame, hourglass/banana figure (don't know yet, have to get fit first
)
CW: 174
GW: 147
Highest Weight: 286 (pregnancy...yikes!)
I have no idea what weight I should be. I tried browsing through mybodygallery.com to see what other tall women look like at different weights. I've never been in this weight range before in my adult life! It's hard to estimate where you would/should want to be. I have my goal at 147, but I may stop at 155 or 160, depending on how I feel and look at that time.0 -
6ft tall (and still a high heel lover!!!)
goal weight 195-199 (i look doggone good even at that high of a weight) bc my body is built so broad. My heights in my core and legs, God blessed me with an hour glass and for that I thank Him lol.
however
Last weigh in I was a 199.3lbs of lean body mass/muscle and my total weight was 250ish. I have plenty to lose, however, Im at the point where making healthy eating choices, staying up on my protein count everyday, and having my kicka$$ workouts daily is what I am focused on, the rest will naturally do its own thing.0 -
I am 5' 11"
GW:199 (I want to get under the 2's lol)
CW:310
SW:3150 -
I'm 5'11 1/2. I currently weigh 174. Within the past year, I've been as low as 170 and felt great! But, I can see my body, and I know I have more fat to lose. I have lots of muscle and am very athletic, but still see rolls that need to GO! :laugh: My goal is to get to 165 - I've never been that small in my entire life, so I'll reevaluate when I get there! :flowerforyou:0

I'm 6' tall.
HW: 160
LW: 147
CW: 152
GW: 145
I have a smallish frame and when I gain it goes to my stomach/thighs. I'm pretty happy at 150 because my clothes fit and I feel good, but I look even better in the 140s so that's the goal 0 -
I'm 6', and 152. Goal weight is 140-145, haven't quite decided. I'd rather firm up.0

I'm 6 ft and my gw is about 170 but that may change as I get closer to it.0

I'm 6'2 and my doctor wants me to weigh 200, but I have a large frame and big hips/boobs, so not sure if I can get that low, but I'm sure gonna try. 68lb to go!0

I'm 6 ft, 2.5 inches tall, and my current weight is 274 lbs...I would love to get down to 180...0

I am 6ft tall, at my biggest I was 350 and currently I am 269. I have a large frame (7 and half inch wrist). I have always said my goal weight was 199 (just to get under 200) but really thought it would be 180, but two weeks ago my thoughts were kinda crushed. My doctor took my body fat percentage and said that he would like to see me at 220. I have a lot of muscle and he doesn't want me to loose that. He also doesn't want me to focus on 180-199 and then feel horrible or do damage to my body trying to achieve that number.
He has been my doctor since I was 15 and he sees all of my family. We talked about the fact that I already wear a size 16 (USA) pants/shirts and that I come from "large framed people". My brothers are all 6'5-6'8, and my parents are all over 6 ft. I am the short one in my family. :-) I do have a lot of muscle, I can lift my own weight plus, but I don't know if I will honestly stop at 220.
We agreed that I will continue what I am doing ( I have lost 30 pounds since May 17th), and we will talk once I have reached the 220 range.0 -
6' and this pic is at 160:
I'm aiming for 150. Need to lose the muffin top! 0 -
Hi all!
I am 22 years old and 6 feet tall with a large frame and 'cone' body type (carry all of my weight in my tummy and bust, have skinny legs and no butt).
SW: 235
CW: 193
GW: 165-175
I used to weigh in my goal range a few years ago, but I was not as physically fit as I am now, so I am thinking I'll look 'thinner' at that weight than I did before because I do strength training and lots of physical activity. A lot of people have been telling me I look "THIN" at my current size (I wear a size 14 pants), and while I disagree, I don't think I look remotely overweight at my current size. I am thinking my goal will probably be on the 170+ side of my range, if I can continue to build muscle.0 -
I'm 5'11 and at my highest weight I was 211. When I first started losing weight I weighed 203, I thought 180 would be a good weight for me. Until I got to about 185 and realized I needed to lose a whole lot more than 5lbs. So now I'm thinking 160? Not sure. I never really care about what the scale stays, I just go by how I look in the mirror. I carry most of my weight in my stomach so really, as soon as that's flat my weight loss journey is complete.0
-
I'm 5'11" with a large frame (7.25" wrist). SW was 268. CW 198. GW for now is 180 and see where I am and if I need to lose another 10 once I get there. Feel pretty good, but still have some stomach and love handles to lose. Currently in a size 14 and have been strength training throughout my 2 year weight loss, so much more toned than I was when I was younger and at that weight.0

This is so close to being me that it's a bit spooky!I'm 5'11 1/2. I currently weigh 174. Within the past year, I've been as low as 170 and felt great! But, I can see my body, and I know I have more fat to lose. I have lots of muscle and am very athletic, but still see rolls that need to GO! :laugh: My goal is to get to 165 - I've never been that small in my entire life, so I'll reevaluate when I get there! :flowerforyou:
I'm 6' and 175. When I decided to lose weight I didn't know what number I'd be aiming for, so I just picked the top of the BMI range as a goal. Now I've passed that I'm working to get rid of my remaining belly fat, which is annoying me. My current goal isn't really numerical, it's physical, but I hope that somewhere around 165 will be the magic number!0 -
Hey,
Just joined the group, I'm 6', large frame according to wrist size (how accurate is that for tall women seeing as it says women over 5'5"?) currently weigh 220lbs and aiming for 170lbs.0 -
Another 6 footer here.
High weight: 338.4 (ugh)
Current weight: 226.6
Goal weight: first goal is 183 to have a normal BMI, but I think somewhere around 160 is probably right for my frame.
Frame size: small? My wrist is just under 6.25", but I have a huge rib cage/upper body, so who knows. It's been buried in fat for so long, I have no idea.0
