Height and body frame size everyone?
| Thu, 08-04-2005 - 2:53pm |
I was just curious what everyone's height and body frame size (small, medium, large, x-large) is? And I was also wondering what everyone's goal weight is?
Thanks,
Chelsea

Hi Chelsea!
I am 5'10" with a large frame (good German stock - lol). At my highest, I weighed in at 260. I got down to 183 but gained 30+ back on so am now working really hard to get back down. Ideally I'd like to see 169 (there's just something about being less than 170 that is appealing) but I'd be happy to reach 180 and I think I would look pretty good given my height and frame. Of course, the crazy sites that tell you what your ideal weight should be puts me in the 135-150 range. I think I'd look anorexic at that weight!
Anyhow, thanks for your question.

Sue-I resent that comment.
I am 5'11 and I weight 140 pounds. And I don't look anorexic! I'm trying to tone my body up and have decrease my thighs as they are large for my size.
You cannot have an ideal weight, as if you are more muscular you would weigh about it-or were bigger boned then it would be imposssible to make it down.
Hi Chelesa,
I'm 5'1 and I weight 145.
I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just saying that, with my large frame and bone structure, even 150 would be way too thin for me. I was strictly speaking for myself and not for anyone else. I'm sorry that you took offense.

Hight: 5"4"
Frame Size: Small..I think?
Starting weight: 167
Current weight: 150
Goal: 135 or size 8
I'm a medium to large frame at 5'10" and I'm currently at 250. My ideal would be 180 as I'm just not sure my body would allow me to get much lower and I can remember when I was that weight before and how hard it was to find pants long enough in a size 12 or 14...so I can't imagine trying to find an 8 or 10 in my length. Good thing capris are in ;)
My highest was 269 so if I hit my goal, I'll have lost 89 pounds...if I hit 169, I'll be at the century mark, but again, I'm not really banking on that as I think 180 is a very healthy weight for me, personally.
We're all different and it's so interesting to me to find out how others destribute their weight and how different than can make actual weights comparative of height. I was 140 in high school during tennis season my junior year (I remember it vividly because I had lost 20 pounds due to our coach being a stickler for eating better. She told us if she caught us drinking soda before practice that she'd make us run until we puked...no one ever tested her on that!) but at that time, in 1991, I was wearing a size 10....I seriously cannot remember single digit clothing other than when I wore a 6X as a small child....LOL and it's been longer than that since I wore a single digit size in shoes!!!
Have a GREAT workout!

All I know is that I am 5'7 and medium to large boned. I know that when I weigh 165 I am down right thin. However, I have had many people tell me that that is still way overweight according to the charts. Right now I weigh about 185. 20 lbs would do wonders and I know it. It's strange how everyone is so different.
Thanks for responding everyone!
Take care,
Chelse

Wow am I short or what! I am 5'7 and currently 198 my goal is to lose 60 lbs that would put me at 155, according to the "charts" that is still slightly overweight but I think i would like to accomplish one goal and see how I look and feel then. I would say I am medium to large frame but I am very top heavy so No matter my size i don't think I will ever get out of 1x tops unless I have a reduction(hey that is at least a good 5 lbs right there to lose lol)
