I'm close, 5'10", with a smallish-medium frame. I look my best at around 138, and I carry more muscle than most women because of the years and years I spent bodybuilding. My goal is 140-145, but I'll see what happens as I close in on 160 because, honestly, 160 doesn't look too horrible at my height -- I don't look overweight, and even now at 188, I don't look obese (when, technically, I am).

I have a cousin who is 6'1" and in a size 9 she was around 170lbs. It's interesting that different body shapes will weigh different amounts in the same clothing size.

My biggest peeve is that MEN believe that 140 lbs for someone my height is "fat," but they'd consider it too skinny for a man my same height. I just want to slap them. Yes, men typically carry more muscle, but my ex husband who was 5'11" and 130 lbs was a weakling. I had to open jars for him!
