Calling out all tall girls :) <3

Hi girlies :)
I'm just really interested in stats from tall girls like myself. How many calories do you eat? What is your goal weight.
I feel us tall+not-so-heavy girls are definitely a minority here on MFP. I would love to hear how you all are doing.

I am 177 cm (about 5'10) and i currently weight 145.1 pounds. My highest weight is 154 pounds. My goal is 130.
I eat around 1200-1300 calories each day because I don't exercise that much YET. What about you???

Also, feel free to add me, I'm always looking for buddies. :wink:

    I'm 5'10 and currently 152. I eat about 1600 calories a day. I lift weights 3x a week.

    I have no idea what my goal weight is. :sad: :sad: :sad: It is driving me crazy. My initial goal was 150 pounds. Well I'm almost there and still have a lot of fat. So I lowered it to 140. I don't know if that is enough or too much. I guess I'll know when I get there. Just wish that I can say "only ? more pounds left".

    I've had the same problem. I see all these tall girls weighing around 150 and they looked really great. When I finally weighed 150 I was certainly not happy. That weight did not look good on ME, even though a lot of my friends with the same weight look fantastic :)

    I'm 5'9 and currently at 158, with overall goal weight around 150. My HW (last year) was 171 and I've weighed significantly less at this height (125-130 in 2008-2009) but I think my body and sturdy thighs are comfortable around 150. Current calorie goal is just under 1500, but I definitely eat more like 1800 on workout days and have hit the ice cream with friends pretty hard lately.

    Hi I'm 5 8 and currently 145 with my ideal 142. Those 3 lbs though go on and off, off and on and drive me bananas.

    I'm 5'10" as well, and currently138, down from 170 after the birth of my daughter in december.

    I'm eating 1200 kcals a day, and heading for 125lbs. I've been lower, but it wasn't healthy, 125 seems like a good compromise; I'm definitely slim at that weight, but not too skinny. I've never felt confortable any heavyer than that.

    Hello, I'm 5 10 and 176, looking to get back down to 150, then hopefully 140, just had a baby and I'm breastfeeding so I'm having a tough time calorie counting. Trying to focus on 1 hr workouts most days of the week

    I'm 5"8", currently weighing about 168ish. I would like to get down to 150, possibly even 140. I am now eating about 1,000-1,200 calories a day. I've never been below the 158-160 range, but I'm ready to get rid of this stomach. Even when I was eating right, exercising, and lifting weights, I only got down to about 160.
  • I am 5'8" and 152#.This is a pretty high weight for me as my normal is around 140 but I have been building a lot more muscle lately too. My jeans are always 27 or 28 around the waist but recently since gaining muscle in my thighs and glutes, I am forced to purchase 27's in a curvy fit.

    I'm 5'9 and I weigh 137. I had a baby 2 months ago and am down from 172. My goal weight is 130. I'm exercising 1 hour a day and aiming for 1200-1300 calories.
  • Like a lot of you, I'm also 5'10" and I weigh about 150lbs. I'm currently consuming 1200 calories, as my goal weight is somewhere around 130. I'm not super active, however I would like that to change and I'm training for a 5K for next month!

    I'm 5'8 and currently 158lbs looking to get to 140. Consuming 1600 a day (active job), and exercising 3x per week + biking to work. Finding this last 20ish lbs so hard to get off though :(

    Hello! I'm 5'8" and the last time I weighed in I was 136. The heaviest I have ever been was 138 and at the smallest I was 123. I felt comfortable at 123 but definitely needed to tone. I would like to get down to 120 and tone up :) Nice to meet you all!

    Hi! I'm 5'10". I'm working myself down from my highest weight-140lbs. My goal is 125lbs. I've always been quite lean (my whole family is tall and lanky!) I'm so glad to have found this thread because I'm not overweight but I really want to get my ideal (i.e.very toned) body.

    I'm aiming for 1500 cals a day. I exercise a fair bit- I go to bootcamp classes in the park 3 x a week, reformer pilates 2 x a week. I've been slacking off with running so I'm starting up again with 30 mins (5-7K) a day. The Hampton Court half marathon is on my birthday in feb, so my aim is sub 1.45 :)
  • I'm 5'10" and weigh 150 pounds. I don't necessarily want to lose weight I want to tone up my stomach, get good arms and a nice butt. I am just starting getting back into shape again. I don't normally count my calories and if I exercise its a mile or two in the gym or the elliptical for 30 minutes. Let me know if there are any good work out programs with a diet attached to it.
    I used to train for a marathon and run track in high school. I was also a vegetarian for four years, but with the stress of college I've lost my ambition to tone and maintain a fit physique.

    I am 5'11" and currently weigh 139 lbs. Highest weight was 170. It is easier to hide weight with heighth. My goal is 130, which I reached this summer. When I started MFP, I weighed 153. Calorie range is around 1490. I guess MFP calculates age, gender, activity level to determine our calorie range. It will change depending on different factors.

    I bounced back 10 pounds from my goal. Hoping to reach my goal again by December 2014!

    Do have a question where do you buy jeans? I'm starting to think when I get to goal that I might need a 4T.
