    I had to click on this one! (Maybe I can make some tall friends!)

    I'm 5'10" and normally weigh 140. I'm currently at 147 due to some diet issues haha.
    My pants size is usually 7-9ish but I recently bought some pants that were size 6? I don't know, I don't get it.

    I'd like to be at 130-135. Everyone guesses I'm 120 and I know I weigh more because of my muscle mass but sometimes it's still kinda hard to explain that I weigh 20 pounds more than I look like I do.

    It would be great to weigh 120 but with how much I work out, that number just doesn't seem reasonable or even healthy. I need my strength, I would never sacrafice that just to say I weigh less!

    Wow, it is so nice to see so many tall women on here. I am 6' and 295. I currently wear a size 20 and am hoping to get down to 175. My heaviest was 305 and my healthiest was 170. I start to look sick if I get below 170. I am so happy to see so many other women who are going through the same things I am. It is hard to really get other women to understand how I truly feel when they are only 5'5" and weigh 170 and think they are so overweight. Can't really make them understand that I am really tall and can't weigh as little as they can. Heck, I wouldn't want to. I wear a size 4-5 when I am at 170 and that is fine with me! Oh yeah and my addiction to designer clothes makes it very difficult for me to survive at my current weight! LOL

    I am 5'9.25'' so I think I qualify for the TALLER portion of this title :)

    I am currently 184lbs (started at 204.8 in July) and my goal weight is anywhere from 150-165!!! I'm going to go with how my body feels & how my clothes fit instead of focusing so much on the scale when I get down there..Also, I started in a 16 size jean and am currently wearing size 12!

    I'm 5'9.5" and I'm currently 165.4. My goal was 135 but now it's 145 or 155. 135 I was a 6 and may have been a bit too thin now that I look back on it. I am shooting for 145 then rebuild with lean mass.

    Hi everyone -- I am just under 5'9" and got my official weigh-in of 136 at the doctor's office yesterday. I've lost about 87 pounds total. Not all on MFP because I didn't know about it until early Sept. When I joined. I am a size 8 or 10 and wear a size 6 Jean. Dream of fitting into a 4 but I don't think so! I am very happy at my goal range! Love MFP and the wonderful friends I have made here.

    I would love to see some before & after pics. I posted some a couple of weeks back, but someone had to correct them for me on the site.

    Good luck everyone in tracing your goals. You can do it!

    Hello everyone! I am 5' 12" and that is 1.82 m for the metric folk =) also I am 187 lbs and wear a size 8.

    I don't really know what my goal is, and I think I will change it on MFP because I really don't think it's realistic that I'm going to lose 31lbs. Because i have a whole heck of a lot of muscle, and it's all in my thighs (oh yeah, my back and arms too. too much muscle!) but I think if I lose a little fat the muscle will look better! hopefully?! I am thinking somewhere around 170 would be really awesome :)

    You know, every day I realize something that is easier to do since I am tall. And I love it. Glad to see all the tall people and please feel free to friend me!

    What do you weigh and what size? What are your goals? Any before and after pics?

    I weigh 215lbs at 34 weeks pregnant. My usual weight is 168lbs not pregnant, usually a size 10.

    My weight goal is 150lbs.

    I'm 5'10"

    Just realized this is an old thread but I'll post too because us tall gals need to stick together!

    I'm 5'9" and currently weight 142. I started MFP at 157.7 highest I had been in years and really unhappy with how I looked. My goal is 135. I currently wear anything from a 6-10 depending on the cut and will probably stay in that size range. I am curvy (although the girls are deflating daily!) so fitted things will always be on the upper end to get over my butt. Good thing I have a good tailor!

    WOW, this is my first week on MFP and I was looking for some tall women to communicate with because our height makes the weight loss challenge quite a bit different than for other women.

    I am 6' tall and currently weight 269 and wear a size 20 pants and an US 18 top. I am a seriously pear shaped woman.
    When I weight 220, I wore a size 16 pants and a size 12 top. I think my goal this time around is 185 which I am hoping is about a size 10 top/12 bottom for me.

    I'd love to hear some encouraging words, fitness tips and advice from some of the other tall women out there..
