Im 5'11 and I'm currently 172 (size 12) My goal is to be 160 and hopefully a size 10. I will be happy with a 10. 12 is still the lowest plus size and I really would love to get out of the "plus" sizes.
I think 140 would probably be too thin at your height. I'm 5'10" and have been 140 lbs and it was the thin side of good...with your extra 2" it would probably make you look fragile. But then again, you may have a smaller bone structure than I do.
i haven't gone shopping in a long time and i'm swimming in my clothes but i'm not planning to shop until I lose a bit more. i can't wait to stay out of plus sizes too. calidoll i can't wait to be at your weight! congrats to everyone on doing so well!
I'm 5 ft 8 inches approx. I'm currently a UK size 16/US size 12. I'm amazed that there are people in here who weigh far less than me and are taller in bigger sizes. Maybe vanity sizing is even more of an issue in the UK.
Anyway, my ultimate goal is 140 - UK size 10/ US size 6 all over (although with MY hips, that could be tricky!) My initial goal is 164, which will hopefully put me in an 8.
I'm 5'7 and currently 149 lbs and a size 8. My lowest weight is 145 and although I was very muscular, I would like to try maybe 140 if I'm not eating my arm off and it's too hard to maintain :P

I am 5'9'' and I am currently 164- I am not weighing myself on the record this week because I have been tearin' up the weights and I know it has me up a few pounds due to water weight.
But this being said, I want to get to 155. I find I still have too much body fat for my taste at this weight, so 155 seemed like a good place. Ultimately, though, I have a certain way I want to look, so if I can pack on some more muscle and just lose a bit more fat and look that way, then, great. If not, down the goal goes again. I think I would look too thin at 140, so I know it's been a few years for this thread, but to the original poster I say: Tell your gyno to look up from between the nether regions of the patients to make assessments. It helps to look at the whole person! Unless you are a real daddy long legs, 140 is probably not the right weight for you! Also, at this size I wear 10 and 12 pants, small, medium and large shirts.
I am 6'0 and I have tried to look up what my goal weight should be, and I get anything from 140-190. I have been overweight all my life, so I do not know where I should be (or feel the best).
I'm 5'11" and have been maintaining a weight of 140 lbs for close to a year, after losing 55 pounds. I initially planned to stop at 155 lbs, but I kept losing weight while trying to figure out my maintenance calories. Once I reached 140 lbs I decided I liked my new body so much I was prepared to put some effort into keeping it. On paper 140 lbs may seem a little low for my height, but I definitely don't look scrawny.
I'm able to eat about 2,000 cals per day, on average, without regaining. If I had to restrict myself more, it wouldn't be worth it for me. (Left to my own devices I could easily eat 4,000 calories per day without feeling stuffed.) And who knows, maybe one day I'll decide to maintain at a higher weight. For now it's working, though. I'm 55 years old.
My family doctor says he would like to see me in the 180's, while my obgyn says 140.
Holy moly! 140 at 6 feet tall??? It seems a bit low to me.
I am 5' 10" and my first goal is 180, although I'd like to get down to about 165. My doctor says 180, I think partly because of my frame size/muscle amount kind of stuff. I would love to solidly get into a 12, but a 10 would be a dream come true.
Great thread! I'm 5'9, some days 5'10 I'm a 14 heading towards 12 now. Maintaining a size 10 is my goal which will probably be around 170 - 180 or so. I love my curves!
I am 5'5 and currently 160, my ultimate goal would be 115-120 but I will be happy to get down to 125-130 as long as I am toned and fit looking. I don't want to be "skinny fat".
Whatever size that brings me down to I will be happy with, after all it's not the size of your jeans but how you feel in them!
