Tall ladies out there? 5'10" and up?

jesseBYAH

Hey everyone! I am 5'11" and my CW is 220. I am hoping to get down to 150. Anyone else out there in this same height range? I love reading the success stories and all, but most of the pictures are from ladies that are much shorter than me. It would be nice to have some friends that have a similar build as I do
Anyone??

Heh, I'm 5ft 9.... so I guess that isn't tall enough. I have similar stats to you. But I want to get back down to 120.

Good Luck!

Shoot, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that! 5'9" is still very tall and if we have similar stats then I'd love to be friends so we can motivate each other!!!

I am 5'11", current weight 205, starting weight 279. I would like to get down to about 165. I hit my all time low (of my all time high) when I weighed the same amount as when I was 9mo pregnant but my daughter was over a year old.

I love this!!! I've never found a "tall girls" group! I'm 5'10" too! I started just over 240 lbs and I'm down to 176 right now, hoping to be at 150-155 by this summer. Let's motivate each other

Since it's only the 2nd day of February, should we try a challenge for the month? Even something simple like measuring your food precisely, working out so many days a week, or something?

I'm 5'9" and 179, I'd really like to get down to 150 or 155 Also working on getting pregnant, so I'd like to loose as much as I can before that.

Hi, i'm 5ft 11 and had a starting weight of 217 pounds so have very similar stats to you. I'm currently at 214 pounds and have a goal weight (for now) of 180 pounds.
I'm struggling at the moment because even on a normal day, without considering myself to be on a 'diet' I only eat about 1300 calories BUT I do a lot of exercise. I've been told that I actually don't eat enough as i'm burning off an extra 500 or so calories a day with exercise. Because of this apparently i'm in 'starvation mode' so my body has slowed down my metabolism in order to hang on to my 'fat stores'.
I certainly don't starve myself...I actually eat A LOT but because I eat lots of healthy foods they tend not to be packed with fat/calories.

So, I need to learn to eat more (strangely) and hopefully i'll start to lose the weight!

It's great to have a little group of people with whom you can truly compare and share your stories with as we have similar stats.

@honeyrabbt-- I went through the same thing as you. I thought that the less I ate, the quicker the weight would come off.. However, I just started eating more now, and consuming my "exercise calories" and now the weight is really starting to come off. I've lost 5 pounds in the last two weeks by increasing what I'm eating, and of course, switching to great veggies and fruits Good luck!!

honeyrabbit

@heb14...thanks for sharing that with me. It makes me feel a little better knowing that it's not just me this has happened to.

My goal daily calories without exercise is 1330, then I do about 400 calories worth of execise a day which increases my suggested intake to around 1730. This last week i've started to eat back around half of my exercise calories and have consequently PUT ON 2 pounds!!!! I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do for the best.
Do you mind if I add you to my friends? I think it would help me stay motivated if my friends have similar stats or starting weights to myself.

Hi! I'm 5'10" and currently 248 from 260. Still in my first month. Hoping to get down-wait let me rephrase that...I will be getting down to 160.

sparklesammy

hey i'm 5'10(and a bit)....

I find that people think i weigh less than i do becasue i have a big frame and and am tall so carry wiegh well.... but I find people making out i dont need to lose any more weight (im 13lbs away from my goal, but my goal is 168 - the very top of the normal bmi range) becasue they see the definition of my colarbone and automatically think ive lost too much....but im still over weight....thats just a big colarbone!!!
