I am 5'91/2 and I would like to only be about 180-190. I do not want to be thin, just healthy and look good in my clothes. I like a tight 9/10 or a loose size 12. If I were to get down to 165-170 I would be a size 6 and that is bobblehead size for me. No way. I am 44 and want to look like a healthy Woman not a kid.

I would love to see more pics of before and after. I am about 5ft 10 or 5ft 11 and my highest weight was 235. When I started MFP I was down to 206 and now I am stuck at 182ish.....I need inspiration! And all of the pics look so great! It's so funny how different bodies look. I had a goal weight of 150-175 and I'm almost to the 175 but it doesn't look or feel good enough for me.

Hi, ladies! I'm 5'11. My starting weight was 223 (12/28/10), and my current weight is 174.4. Here are some of my before/after shots:

My husband and I last Christmas and at my bridal shower this past April. Between the two pictures, I lost 41 pounds, and my husband (then fiance) lost 44 pounds, for a combined 85-pound loss!



I recently got married on May 28, 2011 at 175 pounds. When I bought my wedding dress in September 2010, I weighed 205 pounds. I bought the sample dress from the store, so the three pictures below are of me in literally the exact same dress. The top left picture is me the day I bought the dress. In the top right picture, the dress has been taken in 4 inches. It was still a little bit big, so the seamstress took it in an additional 1.5" before my wedding (bottom picture).

It really depends on your body type and bone structure. I'm 5'11 and at my starting weight (223) I was wearing a size 16. At my current weight (174.4) I am wearing a size 10. My goal is to be a size 8 and weigh 150-160, which is the middle of the healthy BMI range.

This is a great thread! It is so interesting to see how different people's goals are. I think I have a rather small frame and I have set my goal at 160. After that, I may decide to go lower depending on how I look and feel. I am currently at 196 and wear between a 12 and 14. I'll have to post some progress pics along the way!

I find it really interesting that at least a few of the girls who have posted in this thread so far have "after" weights that are higher than my "before" weight, but they look so fabulous! The girls who have said that they're in the 180s, I would never have been able to tell. And they're not the only ones - I've seen other girls on MFP who are tall, 180-190 and they look like supermodels. Why is this? Is it "body frame"? Amount of muscle? I did NOT look as good at 175 as these beautiful ladies who are 180! Or is my scale just busted?

Its all about body comp, height, stature, frame, every one is going to be different.

Yeah, I agree with this - it's all body type. I'm 6'0, and at 200-210 I wore a size 16 - now at 175 I'm a 12. My goal is 165 lbs and size 10.

Yep. I'm 5'9.5", and at my lowest I was at 216 and a size 16. My tentative goal weight is 165, and while it might ultimately be higher I can't imagine myself (with my giant feet, hands, shoulders, bones) any lower than that.

This post is awesome, good job ladies you all look great And it is amazing how everyone looks different and has different goals. For myself im 5"11 and a half-6 feet. I started out at 242 lbs, wearing a size 16 (Canada) I am now down to 192 lbs wearing size 8-10. My goal is 170 lbs, I guess im just going to have to see how things go and how I feel when I get closer to the goal. I should finally get some before and in-progress pictures, as it motivates me so much.

Completely agree! You look like a model! So beautiful, and I can't believe you are 180 lbs...were you weighing yourself while carrying a backpack filled with bricks?!

i_love_vinegar

I am 5'11 ( size 10 uk feet! )and at my heaviest was around 251lbs. When I started my new regime this year I was 233lbs. I got to 192lbs just before my holiday. Gained a few but back to my good habits this week! Hoping to get down to around 170 - see what i feel like once I am near there!

Hope you can see the changes I feel!

I think your height doesn't always reflect build so 5'11 can mean a great range in ideal weights. I would be happy wearing a uk 14, to others this would probably seem huge! But as I said for my build I think it will be right for me. I was around 12 stone when I got married many years ago and I know I felt good there so thats my 1st goal - will see waht it's like when I get there! I also think it depends on how much extra weight you have carried over the years - if you have been much bigger anything thinner is a bonus and I guess as you start to lose the weight your goals may change. For me it will be feeling comfy and healthy.
Genuinely what would you class your frame size as? I would say mine is large ( and thats not including the fat!) I have big feet and hands so think I would look pretty scrawny if I was a size 10.

Hey all! Fellow tall girl here (5'11). My heaviest weight was age 14, 5'8 and 197 pounds, and then with exercise and anorexia got down to 145, until of course that lifestyle was no longer healthy nor sustainable. I was really happy my senior year of high school at 5'11 and about 175, but that has creeped up with college, and so I started after finals at 195. Currently 190, and my goal is to get to 165 by this time next year. (180 by the end of summer). Good luck with your goals everyone!

OttawaJeannie

You all look incredible! Wow!! I would never have even recognised half of you in your after shots. Very inspirational.

deborahmorris

nicolej216

EvelynForsyth

I'm 5"11 and have lost 28lbs since my start weight (198.4, eek) but lost 17lbs on here.

Feel freeto add me,tall people unite!

swaggadactyl

all of you tall, transformed ladies look wonderful! I'm somewhere between 5'10" and 5'11" and was 250 lbs at my highest and around 205 when I started mfp. I'm at 173 now and trying to get to 150 ultimately I'm trying to dig up old pictures but I passionately avoided them when I was really big, so it's tough. can't wait to post a success story someday! great job everybody!

djkymba

Thank you all of you beautiful tall ladies who shared your before, durings and afters! I just started this journey myself and at 6'1" and 204 lbs, it's good to see that it can be done and done WELL! You all look amazing and are such an incredible inspiration to me. I'm going to be looking at this thread again and again when I feel like it's the unattainable goal!
