I'm 5' 9" and 118lbs. But I'm also not healthy, so comparing yourself to other people is not practical. Just because someone else weighs that amount, it may not be right for you. People's bone structure, etc, impact their weight.

To find a range though, here's a good web site:

I agree that setting your "ideal weight" based on other people's weight is not a good idea. From your other post I see that you're 6'2" and your goal weight is 150--that might leave you looking quite skeletal depending on your frame. You might want to just drop the weight slowly without a specific goal in mind and see where you feel the most comfortable. 

And for the record, I'm 5'10" and 157. 

yeah I understand. I guess I am just comparing myself. I am a small frame by the wayy

Thanka

6'2 1/2

165-170, it fluctuates from time to time.

Hey, you're the same height as me!!

and you're goal is also the same as mine!!!:D

Wanna be weight loss buddies?

Your the first person I have met who is the same height as me! And who has the same goal as me!

 

Sure! I would love to be weight loss buddies!

(:

Yesh!;3

I know, it's so hard to find people let alone girls who are this height!

It's so hard relating to others who are shorter because their body is different from yours.

 

5'11'' 140 pounds.  Funny that website said the lowest ideal would be 20 more pounds on a small frame.  Gonna have to disagree with that.

ya that website said the lowest i should be is 150 at 5'9". I'm 135 right now with alot of muscle and it said i was underweight!

Hello

I am 6'1 and currently 211, down from 330. That website said an ideal weight for me would be between 184-202, which sounds high! Is it calculating for men??

I am aiming for about 180- I will reassess when I get to there if I want to lose any more :o)

I'm 5'10" 178ish currently, workin toward 150lbs. I have quite a bit of muscle because I am a bit of a powerlifter, so if I see that at 155 or 160, everything looks really good, I will be happy with that

I'm 5'11 and 199, trying to get to 170ish. The website said ideal for me with a medium frame would be between 172-189, large frame=182-200 and small frame=162-178. Those figures are kinda high.Not sure which one I am. My fingers are  touching,but not really overlapping. I'm just gonna stick to trying to get to 170 and I think I would be a size 10 then. Thats my goal for now.

I am so glad that I found this! I am 6'1 and 145. I am a foot taller than all of my other friends and it is so hard for them to relate to me when it comes to my size/weight. My body is completely different from theirs- I love being tall but it's so frustrating sometimes!

Coltonsmom: You are NOT underweight! lol

Laurabow I think that is kinda high too. I think 180 would be GREAT!

gabriellemimi: GO POWERLIFTER (: I may be tall but I am so weak!! lol

skw33: I know right??? I am TRYING to love my height. But it IS hard. Especially when you are taller than a lot of guuuys /:

I'm 6'1'' and weigh 162, giving me a BMI of 21.4.

I think my BMI is a lot more important than the number on the scale - because even adding an inch of height makes you weigh a LOT more.

On the flipside, have any of you ladies felt surprised by how much short chubby girls weigh?  Sometimes it surprises me that 200 pounds can fit in such a small person when I have weighed less than that but still quite overweight. 

Well I'm 6' and currently weighing in at 205. According to CC I should be 169 no more than 177.

Six years ago before I had 2 kids I was 152 and felt good at my weight...I miss those days and just started this program yesterday.

Good luck to us Tall girls...

I'm 6'1.5" and weight about 210. My goal is to be around 170-175! 35lbs to go!! woooooo! :) I think that puts me at a good bmi
