Well, I am not as tall as you but so much depends on your own body and build. Also, where do you want to be? I have no idea where you are on your weightloss journey but many women find they have to travel for a while before deciding goals. I am actually still deciding my own. If I was 5'10" my own goal would probably be 145 given my frame. Other women may be lower or higher than that though.
well im not that tall im 5'6 but my friend vanni is 5'10 and she happens to be with me right now shes DEFINITLEY NOT FAT but shes not skinny either shes very curvy ... she says she weighs 170 and wears a size 12 juniors or a 10 womens ... id shoot for about 160 -170 @ 5'10
I'm 5'11 and right now I'm aiming for 160. I'm pretty sure that's too low, but if I spend the rest of my life between 170-175 hoping to get to 160, I'll consider my weight loss a success, if that makes sense.
Awesome! I am larger boned too and I think 145 or so I would look sick. I think i weighed that in 6th grade!! The goal weight they have set for me is 186 and it just seemed high. I think 170 is a good weight. I would like to put on just about any size 12 pant I can find. I guess we will see where I end up. Only 30 more to go to reach the MRC goal.
I'm 5'9.5" and my goal is 150 lbs. I'm medium boned. I still feel I could lose down to 145 now that I'm nearly at my goal. I'm just getting into a size 8 so I don't feel that's too small. I think I was in the 170's when I was in a size 12. So I think your goal for a size 12 is a good idea. Just whatever your comfortable with.
I am 5'9" and my goal weight is 155. I am medium to large framed, so this is a good weight for me. About 3 years ago I weighed 160 lbs and everybody said I looked great but didn't need to lose anymore or I would look sick. I was wearing an 8 jean at that time and medium to small shirt. I agree with everybody else that its whatever you feel comfortable with and how you are built. good luck to you!
I am 5'8" and my goal weight is 155-165 and I have a medium to large build. I have weighed 145 in the past, but I was a little sickly looking, although I felt great! I have quite a lot to lose, so for right now, I am not sure what my end weight will be, I am just getting to my first goal of losing 72 lbs for the first MRC. I'll see how far I can go from there!
Thanks ladies. Really puts things into perspective.
Summer, I appreciate the input.
We'll all see how it goes ladies. We all get to back down into a new/old wardrobe.

Hi Rebajetgirl
I go to the center in Fayetteville, do you? I am 5 10 1/2 or 5 11. My goal weight is 179-184 and I do fit (very nicely) in my size 12's. So you should be close around the 186. I am looking for a "buddy" for support at the Fayetteville center so I am keeping my fingers crossed you go to that center too. Not to mention our goal weight is practically the same.
Hey there NWA,
I go to the Bentonville Center. This exactly what I needed to hear. I think for my age and body type that 186 was high, oh I dont know. Maybe just get in a range, she how clothes fit and how I feel. Guess we will just see when I get there. You know us ladies, always will want to lose a "few' more. Looking forward to following with your progress and posts.
This program changed my body. When I was in high school I weighed 165 and fit nicely into a size 12. Two years ago, at 27 I was able to fit comfortably in a 12 at 184. So I guess you should concentrate more on fitting in your clothes that make you comfortable than a number. Us tall girls always weigh more than what society thinks we do or should or whatever. I think as women we feel like we shouldn't weigh over like 150 pounds. That is just not true for plenty of us. So, just focus on your body. You will know.
