What is your height?



Recommended Posts

I'm 5'6 and I think I have settled on 170-180 for my goal weight. It depends on how I feel and look.

I am 5'10.5" but I used to be and inch and 1/4 taller but it seems as my weight increased my height decreased. My goal is 155 which I was back in the late 90s before a mountain biking accident claimed my health.

Why is it that the majority of the people answering this question are taller than average women? I find that interesting.

I call myself 5'9" but I'm actually 5'8 1/4". My goal is 175 but I would be happy under 200. I'm at 275 right now. Only 9 days post op.

Wow -- lots of tall women!

My goal is 5'6"

Oh, I can't do that

OK, I'm 5'2" on a good day and my goal is 140-150. I told a dr 130 once and she laughed. She said I won't ever see that weight again due to my age.

I'm 5' 9" - used to be 5' 10" Hmmmm.

My goal weight is 150, but honestly, if I get to 180 I'll be very happy.

150 is my dream weight. At 150 I can wear junior size 11 pants, I'm super-model skinny and feel like I own the world! At 180, I'll be amazing!

How's that for attitude?

THANKS FOR ASKING THIS QUESTION!!!!! I wish everyone would put their height in their signature line with their other stats. It makes a big difference.

I'm 5'3" and my goal is between 135-145. But, even if I make it to 150, I would be happy! I once weighed 158 when I was in college and thought I looked really curvy and sexy and no one looking at me would ever say I was heavy. Anything below 150 would be unbelievable.

Fun post!! I am 5'7'' and would LOVE to be 150 lbs!!! However I met my boyfriend at 160 lbs and felt very sexy/curvy at that weight too. So anywhere b/w 150-165 depending on how I feel. I DO NOT want to be bony looking!!

You guys are giving me a complex. I feel like a Pygmy. I'm 4' 11 1/2 ". My doctor uses 5' to calculate my BMI because that's as low as his chart goes. It says I should weigh under 120. I'm about 129 right now. I wear size 2 and 4 petite and am beginning to have trouble finding age appropriate clothes that fit me.

By the way, I think sizes have drastically changed in the last 20 years. When I weighed 120 years ago, I wore a size 10.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
