Ladies around 5'10" to 5'11" - What are your goals?

raysmyth

Hi Ladies, 

What are your weight loss goals? What is your goal weight? Do you have fitness goals? Just curious about the tall women or there. I am 5'11" 

Please feel free to add me! I am looking for supportive friends! I have some great ones now! 

My starting weight was about 275-280 lbs. My current weight is 234 lbs! My first weight loss goal is 190 lbs. Then, i will aim to land between 170 and 155 lbs. Hoping to get there via fitness goals more so than focusing on the number on the scale. What about you all?

I am ultimately shooting for 150, but that might not be realistic. I've never been under 170 in my adult life, even when I was "thin" back in the day. I'm at 210 right now, started at 247. I am 5'10". I am focused on getting under 200 right now...I am so close, but still so far.

I've lost almost 40 pounds and I haven't dropped a clothing size yet...things are looser, but I can still wear all my big clothes. I think that's the most annoying part about losing weight when you're tall!

Originally, my ultimate goal was 180. But I need to get to about 170 to be considered a healthy weight in BMI terms. However... I'm still keeping that flexible, keeping in mind genetics, muscle to fat ratio, etc. I've still got a long way to go, so I'm not getting too attached to some arbitrary number. We'll see how it goes when I am closer. (I'm 5'10", btw)

I am also 5'11". I have already reached my goal of 145 pounds, and am now just trying to tone up. feel free to add me!

I'm also shooting for 150, but like Rachel, I don't know if that's a realistic goal for me. But I'm still going to try! In my freshman year of high school I was around 170, so if anything I want to weigh less than that, because I still considered myself to be a little chubby back then. I feel like 160 might be a better weight for me to achieve, but ultimately I'm just going to kind of see how this all pans out. If I still feel like I have room for improvement at 160, I'll continue until I'm at 150.

As far as fitness goals though, what I really want to be able to do is run a mile without stopping. I never ran as a form of exercise until about 5 months ago, and I'm very slowly getting better at it. And I kind of want to figure out some goals for the weight machines at the gym I go to. I kind of fluctuate with how much I'm lifting/whatevering (lmao I'm so good with gym lingo, let me just tell you). I feel like if I kept better track of how heavy I'm making the weights instead of being like "hmm, this is heavy but I don't feel like I'm about to rip my own arms off, so this is probably good," then I'll probably notice improvements more. And noticing improvements makes me want to do stuff more. I'd like to want to do stuff more, y'know?

Anyway, I'm 5'10-ish and I started at 240-ish. I just weighed myself a few minutes ago, and I'm officially a pound and some change under 190. So I'm halfway there, which is cool.

Hi there,

I am just over 5'10 and weigh between 167 and 170. I would love to be about between 152 and 155. I have been trying to get there for sooo long! Seems almost impossible for some reason! I suppose it isn't about the weight so much for me though, I have the stubborn tummy fat and inner thigh fat, just want to get rid of that and drop 1 dress size and I will be happy!!!

Good luck with your weight loss goals

TallGlassOfQuirky

I am 5'10" and was once 294 pounds. I got down to 155, but I was a little too thin.
My original goal weight was 180 and that's okay, especially considering what my body has been through in the past year and a half (spinal cord injury and permanent nerve damage and a weak left leg, loss of range of motion in my foot and ankle resulting in a permanent limp, two surgeries, chronic severe back pain only partially relieved by meds and a spinal cord stimulator), but I would like to get back down to the upper 160's again. I think that's my ideal weigh, but keeping off over 100 pounds for over three years is still pretty good.
I was in the low 170's for two years, but a couple of months ago I was put on a new medication that is well known to cause weight gain, so it's a struggle.

I'm 5'9" and my goal is to be between 140-155 I haven't fully decided yet

I'm 5'10" and shooting for 150, as well.

I lost about 50 pounds before I *had* to wear a smaller size. I've gone down another since then. I sure wish this whole process could go faster! :-)

Davali

I'm 5ft 10 and would like to get to 165. Currently 221, and short term under 200 would be fantastic!

loribethrice

I'm 5'9½. I'm down to 151.6 right now, but my goal is 140. I started at 204. I went from size 12 jeans to size 8 and I'm hoping to get into at least a 6.

michaelahurstt

I'm 5"10 maybe a little under, I want to lose 20kg I've already lost 5kg since april this year, i'm hoping to lose 10kg by jan
I'm finding it quite difficult though I do 2 PTs a week and eat pretty good but I cant stop snacking :x

2013sk

I'm 5 ft 9 - Ok a couple of inches shorter than you guys

I'm 147lbs at the moment, my goal is to be 140/142lbs

So a little bit too lose..

Really we shouldn't worry to much about the scale when we get near to our goal - More about how we feel in our clothes & look : )

becclesbecca

I'm 5'11" and 157 and I am just a couple of pounds off where I want to be. I got down to 147 a couple of years ago and my periods stopped for about 8 months. I was a healthy BMI but it was obviously too low for me as I weigh heavy and I am quite lean. Weight isn't always the best indicator of size and health but I am just as guilty as anyone else as being influenced by what it says on the scales.

fire7ice

Hi
No fitness goals because of health problems... just logging calories. I'm 5'10". Highest weight I've gone up to was 225 lbs.
At moment am 190.5 lbs. My goals are to get to 182 lbs - haven't been that weight for a long time. Then adjust my goals when I reach that weight... probably to get to 168 lbs next. Then see how I go after that.

Hi there -

I'm 5'11 and currently teeter between 150 and 156 but haven't been too strict with my diet/exercise for awhile.

My goal is usually around 145-147 which is where I feel most comfortable. Anything lower than that is way too difficult for me to maintain and quite frankly just doesn' look good on me (in my opinion).

More recently though, I've been trying to focus more on feeling healthy and enjoying life (in moderation). The better food choices I make the better I feel so its starting to fall into place more naturally without my needing to hit a specific number.

In any case, good luck with whatever goals you have!

csec6pak

I am 5'10" and many years ago I weighed 202, then got down to 151. It was impossible to maintain that low weight and looking back at pictures of myself, I was too skinny. I eventually settled around 160.

I've had 2 kids since then and ended up at 195. I am now down to 175 with an ultimate goal of 165. But since I'm close to my goal, the weight loss is going very slowly. I am now focusing more on fitness goals than weight. I want to be able to do "real" push-ups and pull-ups, and I want to eliminate (or at least minimize as much as possible) the hanging skin from my c-sections.

KimJohnsonsmile

5'11" here. Highest weight (that I can't blame on pregnancy) was 187. Was mid-170's when joined MFP. Lowest on here was 160.4.... damn that .4! 160 was pretty comfortable for me; I felt good and felt lean and strong. Right now I'm yo-yo'ing between 163-167, but need to buckle down and get back into a regular exercise schedule after a broken toe put me on the sidelines for a bit.

Jesssamesssa

Well, Im 5'9" so Im sure I dont count....BUT I want to comment. My starting weight was 179. My Goals is 155ish. But even that changes daily. I am building muscle and leaning out so Im starting to think I will end up being like 165lb and a size 6! Im 170ish right now and a size 6-8.

Graelwyn75

I am 5'10, never been overweight, but I tend to look podgy at the higher weight range for my height due to build, I suppose.
I am about 136/137 currently, and aiming to get back to 131-133 where I feel most comfortable.
I also like to keep my bodyfat fairly low, which is where it naturally lands when I train anyway. I was around 12% earlier this year.
My fitness goals are just to continue to work on muscle definition and cardiovascular fitness as I have COPD so working my lungs hard helps with that.

sandylion

I'm 6", and very 'stocky', as in my shoulders and hips (the bones not the cushion) are really broad. I am aiming for 167lbs, or 76 kgs as we Canadians like to say it

inkedmommy67

I am 5'10 and the lowest I've been was 155 but I am very big boned so I looked pretty nasty. I am shooting around 175, my highest was 254 and I am currently at 203. =]

JennaNicoleS

I'm 5'10" and originally my goal was 115 (I was/am dealing with an eating disorder). Now that I have become more clear headed about my health, my goal is around 150 or so. I started at 220 but am now at 202
My main goal is to not try to think about the scale though, that's where so many people go wrong. The number doesn't matter as much as people think, the thing you should shoot for is feeling healthy! Muscle weighs much more than fat also, so if you're trying to get toned, the scale will often tell you that you weigh more than you'd expect. My main goal is to get to a size where I can wear my old clothes and not feel suffocated. You're goal should be feeling great and confident! The number on the scale doesn't matter as long as you're healthy physically, emotionally, and mentally. Hope this helps!

Alidecker

5'10" and currently at 215. Trying to get to 180 and then take it from there. I started at 320, got down to 186...so close...and then went back up. Caught myself before gaining all that back. I really rely on my clothes more now that the scale, but the scale still has some control over me.

I have a couple of fitness goals. One is to break 1:30 on the triathlon I have done the last 3 years, hopefully next year is the year. I also want to be able to do one, just one unassisted pull-up. Of course that would be easier if I lost some more weight.

shaunte92

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 150. The smallest I've been is 152. The smallest I've been that I felt I was able to easily manage was with proper diet and exercise was 154. Even at 152 I wasn't happy with my tummy, I felt like I still needed to lose 2-3 pounds in that area. But I want to be 150, and I think the difference is this time is that on the way getting there I don't want to go to any extremes, meaning I'm eating the appropriate amount of calories and not depriving myself of favorites for prolonged periods of time. Honestly the number doesn't really matter as much to me anymore, if I'm satisfied at 155, that'll be great too! I'm hoping that this route helps with my tummy more. Right now I'm at 163ish, focused, and ready to hit my goals

AmandaPantz87

I am aiming for 160 and I will see where I want to go from there....once I get there of course!

amoynoodle

It's tough to set weight goals when you have no frame of reference of how that weight will look on you!! This is my problem anyway, I'm 5'11" and am at 171lbs now, but want to get down to 155 ish... however, I have never been that light, so I don't know if thats just completely unachievable. I also have a pretty good amount of muscle under my wobbles already from working out lots in the past... so who knows... perhaps 155 won't actually be possible!! haha. I fully agree with JennaNicoleS above though, its more about how you -feel- than what the scale says.... I already feel infinitely more awesome at 171 than i did at 177 a couple of months ago!

Good luck all of you gorgeous ladies though!

JamieZ0503

I'm 6 ft tall and I have always felt my best at 160-165. 145-155 always felt too thin for me. Currently, I am 195.

leggup

I'm 5'11. My goal weight is 149, although I may drop my goal to 145 when I get closer. I would like to be a size 8 and a size 32/34C bra. My starting weight was 215 (ahhh). I'm now 167. I'm all hips and chest, so I'm really hoping the rest of the weight comes off of there.

Fitness goals: I want to be able to do a chin-up. I also want to be able to participate in a "Jam." I do Lindy Hop (a type of swing dance). A jam is a super high speed burst of dancing. Different pairs jump in, show off reaaaaaaallllly fast, and then jump out. Part of it is skill, part fitness (the feet are FLYING), part confidence.

dmsx3

I am 5'11 and was always on the thinner side hovering around 135 for most of my early adult life. I never thought I was too thin. That was just naturally how I was built. I didn't diet and ate whatever I wanted, just had a high metabolism and struggled to gain weight when I tried. I am 45 now and am at 180ish. My goal is 160 and then go from there.
