I'm 5'10 and all my friends are around 5'2! It's so hard to gauge my weight next to theirs. I set my goal at 145lbs, which was a weight I don't even ever remember being at! I'm wondering what other tall chicas are aiming for?

I am 5'8". Your starting weight is close to my goal weight. lol
I currently wear a size 14 or 16 depending on the designer.

I'm 5'10 too! My goal weight is 160 for now. I have this crazy thought about getting to 145, but it's been soooo long since I was there, I'll just have to see when I get there.

I'm almost 6'1. I too find it hard to guage what number I should weigh as well. I went with the number that the magic Jenny-o-matic came up with, which was 170. I have no idea what that will look like, but there is only one way to find out...I'll let everyone know 65lbs down the road.

I'm 5'11" and set my goal at 150. I think I might like to go a little lower, but will be happy to stay around the 150 mark from now on. I'm in a 10 in most of my clothes and am thrilled with that!
Good luck!

Wow, I hope I can get into a size 10, Someday I'll get out of these 14's. What size did you wear when you were 175? Congrats to you and you did it while taking care of 4 kids!! That's so great. I only have one so far and think I have my hands full!

I'm 5'11" with size 12 feet (proof that I am big boned lol!) and am going for 170.
In a perfect world I could go for 155-160, but last time I was at 155, I looked a little on the anorexic side....so I want to be thinner, but still have my curves.

I am 5'10" and my goal weight is 165, for now. I may go lower once I get there. I weighed around 130 until my mid 20's.
But at this point anything under 200 sounds great to me!

I am 5'7", and hope to reach 160. I started at 320 with a goal of 200 in Nov 2004. At 210, I am currently 10 lbs. away from that, but I'd really like to go for another 40 lbs. to get down to my thinnest. I am muscular and have a large frame, and am a thin size 10 at that weight.

I'm 5 ft 8 and I just would like to a pleasantly plump 200. My sister is slender--5 ft 11 and about 170. She's a serious runner, trains for road races, marathons, etc, great figure.

Im 5'10, not "big boned." I would classify me as me as pretty average. I set my goal at 155 initially. I got down to 162 and everybody said how great I looked, but I hated it. I had no shape at all. I looked like a boy. Unfortunately, I could not maintain that and gained 1/2 back. My new goal is 165.
I weight 145 when I was in high school, and very fit, playing sports. I had no shape, I was straight up and down. But, I have friends who are 5'10 and weight 130 and look great. So, I think it all depends upon your structure and make up.

Hi all-
how's everybody doing? I guess I'll just see how this bod looks as I go. Before I had a baby, I was busty so even though I was heavier it was kind of in proportion or so I convinced myself, but now the boobs are lookin a little sad & smaller, and my bottom half just looks out of sync. I have been losing but tiny bits at a time!!! I'm at 160 now, and I still got thighs and hips overflow! I think I need to buckle down & be stricter with myself. I have been allowing myself lil cheats here & there, yikers,to a good week for everyone!!

I am 5'10" as well but am aiming for 180 to start with. If I could get at and stay at 170 eventually I'd be happy. I am very large boned (size 12 feet) and also am recovering from Stage II thyroid cancer so I'll take whatever weight loss I can get.

I am 5'10" and have just rejoined. I never had a weight problem and could always eat anything and even tried to gain in my youth. I was around 123 as a teenager and would not even wear shorts because my legs were so skinny. I started gaining in my 50's and now at 63 could easily be 200 or better.I was 173 the first time with Jenny. I had a goal weight of 145 but only reached 152 and was very happy. Now it has been about a year and I was back up to 167. I bought a treadmill and just will have to keep up the exersize for ever. I changed my goal to 155 and will be very happy with that. It has been 5 weeks and I am at 159 now. I feel good at this weight but just want to reach my goal.

Ooops, sorry I just noticed this was a 30 something post. I am a bit beyond that.

5'8" here and hope to be 150 maybe less. My wedding weight was right around 155 and I loved the way I looked, but after 2 babies I think that weight will look much different on me. My body changed so much, I just don't know what to expect anymore.
wantandwaste
5'8 and weighed in at 179 I want to go to 140. Hoping I can do it quickly.

hey, I'm 6 ft tall and my goal is 145, but I am small boned (size 12 feet though!) I am currently 151, so almost there and know it is realistic. May decide to go to 140, but won't decide until I see 145. I really think it is all about your build and bone structure. I have a sister who is 5'10" and if she were 151 there would be nothing left of her.
Skeletonfruitcake
I just joined. I am 5'10" and 319lbs. I was always 150lbs...felt my BEST at 165lbs, but have a goal weight of 175lbs.
Good luck to you! Let me know how you are doing! I would like to chat with you further.

Hi...I am 39, so I will soon not be a thirtysomething...but I am 5'8.5" and want to weigh something, anything, that starts with the number one....I am shooting for 160 but I just picked that out of the air. After 3 kids I don't know how I will look/feel at a normal weight. I can't wait to find out though!
hope1974
Hiya. I'm 5'11 on a good day, 5'10 on a yucky day LOL. I would be happy with anything under 200 really. I am small framed and thought I looked great at 150ish. Set my goal there just for numbers

I'm 5'9 and weigh 240 now and wear a 16/18. When I was at my thinest weight 15 years ago, I was 152 and a size 10/12. I then started dancing and gained weight - but didn't focus on the number (usually topped the scale between 160-165) but wore a size 9/11. Although I am quite a bit heavier now, my shape didn't change all that much, it just got larger in all places. I think the way you will look when you loose the weight is how and what type of exercise you do, and if you do it while you are loosing weight, expect that you will see your clothes fit you looser easily, but your weight will not drop as quickly.

Sometimes being so tall is very hard to gage what we will and/or can look like because there isn't that many of us around and the ones that are (in the mags and media) their airbrushed and don't eat much - but remember Tyra Banks is something like 165-175 now that she left modeling and I think she was about 135-140 when she was a VC girl! smile.gif

Hope that helps!
