Help me pick a goal weight please???

[DeLarla 22]

I have access to all sorts of weight charts, but none show me what a girl that's 5' 10" with a huge bone structure should weigh.

Mind you, my wrists and hands are bigger than any woman I know. I can't wear women's watches, I wear a size 11 shoe, and I have an extra large bone structure.

I need a goal weight. Can anyone help me figure it out?

I'm kind of pulling this out of thin air, along with calculating you against my own hieght/structure.

I'm 5'6" and have a decently thick build. I can wear a women's watch, but on the longest setting, or one less than that. My original goal was 140, but I've since decided to call it 140 ~ 160. For you I would say somewhere between 190 and 200 would be a good goal, and you can always re-evaluate it when you get there?

Is there a place near you where you can get your body fat % checked out? That would probably give you the most accurate goal, since women are supposed to be about 25% body fat.

DeLarla,

Seems like I am following you everywhere!! Sorry!!!

But, girl, we could be twins!!!!

Your stats match mine EXACTLY!!! The big bone structure, I don't wear watches either and I wear a size 11 shoe!!!

I agree with Marimaru that 190-200 will be great for us...

(notice my goal says 180)

I think I change my goal daily, but when I get to 199, I will be a very happy woman!!!

225......then set a new goal!

[Marimaru 7]

Along with what MykdsDad said, I think it's important to have mini goals. Little milestones.

As example: I started at 280, and my first mini goal was 250 lbs. It was 30 lbs lost, and 250 was a nice round number. After that was 230, because that is what's on my Driver's License. My next mini goal is 210, because then I'll be halfway to my original goal of 140 (even though I know I might not make it down that far in the end). After that of course is 199, then 180, because I'll have lost 100 lbs, then 160, and then after that, I think I'll be happy with whatever happens.

Also, some of my mini goals have rewards. When I hit 250, I bought a sweater poncho I'd been wanting. Now there is a hat that I want, which is a rather unjustified purchase, since I don't really wear hats, but I've decided if I still want it when I hit my next goal, I can have it.

I think that 170-190 would be a decent range. You can always change your goal as you get closer to it and see how your body looks.

Based on nothing more than an intuitive gut-reaction, I think you'd be so hot and feel so good we'd have to tie you to the floor at 175.

175 is just sounds like a good number for you to me.

The 1983 Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Weight Charts for female, large framed, 5'10" gives a range of 152 - 173 lbs. These are listed as the "desirable" weight range that indicates people with the lowest mortality rate. M:faint:

:confused: To determine frame size measure wrist.

For height over 5'5" use this table

Small - Wrist size less that 6.25 inches

Medium - Wrist size 6.25 - 6.50 inches

Larger - Wrist size over 6.50 inches.

:) :confused:

Well I'm 5'10" with a medium frame. My goal is 170 lbs. My shoe size is a 7.5 (yes thats small) Ring size is 6 (5 on a good day lol).

Given that, I'd say you'd prob be good at approx. 190 lbs.

[Dianechef 3]

I have a sister who is your size & she looks great at 180!! Big bones are a blessing!! You don't have as much weight to lose!!!!

DeLarla- you are hot at the weight you are at !!! It's all in how you feel and present yourself !! Don't concentrate on a number, they mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.:clap2:

I think 199 would be good for you. I started out the same weight as you and I am only 5 ft 5 1/2 in and I have set my goal for 199 also because for one it would start with a one and I know I have a bigger muscle mass than most women my size. They tell me I could weigh 130 to 150 and I think that is just crazy. We needed larger muscles to carry the extra 150 lbs around JMHO. Trish

the 175 to 190 range would definitely put you in the hot bod category.

[vinesqueen 2]

Go to 200, and see how that fits.

Because we are built really weird, being circus folk and all, we have different molecular structures.

When I was working out 5 days a week, doing serious work out stuff, I was a size 12. I weighed 190 pounds and was told I was in danger of all sorts of obese related things.

Do not concentrate on a scale weight sweetie, concentrate on a size. When you get to a size 16, let us know, send us pictures. It is possible that you don't want to go lower than a 14, given your body type. And yes, I've seen you partly naked, so there!

Chiming in...I am a big ole gal too. Try womens size twelve shoes..wrist of just under 8 inches. My twin and I have the same bone structure. Now my older sister has tiny wrists, ankles and feet--Suzy and I have always teased her about being adopted/having a different father etc....You can tell she's our sibling though by the size of her rack.

Anyhow, I, like Vines think that 200 would be a good goal. See you how feel when you get there.

I know I looked pretty darn good at about 200 pounds. I am shooting for 175-180. I'm at about 231 now, and I just bought a new pair of jeans at Old Navy--16Long--Down from the 20W I bought last year.
