To: Elizabeth ok, thanks
I am quite muscular for a girl. I am still trying to find a goal weight for me. I figured that a size 8-9 would be good for me being tall and all.I weigh 245 and 5'11", but it does not look that that because of muscle. So I figured around 160-165 would be a good goal. Thanks!

To Candy: Not definately...it all depends on your bodyfat % and bone size ect.

so if you are 5'11" and weigh 160, you are about a size 8?

that is soooo true elizabeth. my mom's 6ft 1in and you know what? if she was even a size 8 she'd look like she was starving herself. my mom looks really thin at a size 11. belive me- she's never been in the single digits for pants size- even when she was modeling as a teen in california. i saw her wedding pictures when she was 18 and omg. she was drop dead gorgeous and just the right size. no one would ever tell from that picture that she was a size 13 because she was so tall and elegant. but to jennifer- just exersize and eat healthy until your body starts telling you it's at a good weight. it'll tell you this by you being more fit and when it gets super hard to lose weight(don't confuse with a platue when you're still a little big). i wish i was taller because if i was i wouldn't try to lose weight. actually if i was my weight right now and instead of 5'5" and being 5'10" instead i'd be all set and i'm 146. but good luck just eat more veggies and less packaged processed stuff. less sodium and cals, more water and more exersize and you'll be making a difference in no time!

Ok, I am 5'11.5. Yes, I measure to the tee cause I did volleyball in Highschool, but I am on this board for two reasons. 1.) cause yall aren't too much younger than me, so it doen'st seem to odd, adn there isn't anything out there for people my age, and if there is, there are people there who have had kids,and are married ect and 2.) cause I know what all of you are going through. I was there back in highschool shopping for clothes that were too small and dealing with everyhitng, so I can give some insight on how things turned out ect.
I have just joined a gym called CRUNCH. They have this special machine that does bodyfat ect along wiht muscle and bone weight. I too though that I should weigh about 130, but I was wrong. 130 would be too thin. People our height are NEVER going to be 120 lbs wearing a size 3, it just won't happen unless we starve and end up killing ourselves. Really a size 8 is healthy for us. You can be 160lbs, toned with muscle and look awsome!!!
