Can someone please be realistic and honest with me (21f) about goals?

I'm new to reddit, so I'm very sorry in advance if I formatted or did something else wrong.

For some backstory: I'm almost two years into this weight loss (July 7th 2016). I gained 150lbs in 3 years while on Abilify for bipolar disorder (age 16-19). I went from a size 4/6 to a size 24. Once off the medication, I dropped 25lbs in 6 weeks and then continued to where I am now, an 85lb weight loss. I am a 6' tall white female with an hourglass figure and wear a size 14 pant.

I am having a hard time setting a realistic set of goals for someone of my height and body shape and mental health. Managing my bipolar disorder comes before weight management for me, that's why its a factor. Most of my friends are small/average in height and very slim builds with no current health issues. When asked about my weight loss goals, I've been told I "could be skinner if I really tried" by these friends. My original goal was 175lbs and a size 8 or 10. Now I'm wondering if I'm just lazy? I look at people like Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift who are 2/4 and also very tall that seem to be able to do it.

I guess what I'm really getting at in this rambling post is: what would the objective people of reddit loseit think a realistic goal would be for someone like me? A women who is tall, with naturally bigger hip bones and breasts and other health concerns. I'd hate to be chasing something that isn't real and/or sell myself short.
