    I started at 283 now down to about 167. I have a big frame. You can see my ribs!!
    Check out mybodygallery.com

    yep, this website is very helpful!!

    It's pretty astonishing to see how much people differ in size and shape at similar weights, so it really does differ from person to person. Some of the women my height (6'1" ish) look thinner at 230 than those who are 180. I would use this site as a tool to see how different we all are- not as 'i will look like that at 170...'.

    Although the person who is 100lbs at 6'1" is shocking!!! That would give her a BMI of 13!!

    Hi Ladies,

    I'm 5'9" and I was 199 when I started my weight loss journey in August of 2009. By the time Summer 2010 rolled around, I had gotten down to about 158-159. Right now I'm 168 and trying to get back between 155-160. Anywho... here are my before and after pics. The before is in Nov 2009 (199) and the second is in Oct 2010 (about 158/159).

    Well well well so good to "see" you all here you wonderful tall ladies you. I am almost 5.9 and have always struggled with friends who are much shorter and therefore weigh considerably less than I do.

    It really is amazing to see all different body shapes and sizes at around the same weight. The biggest shocker was the young lady who is the same weight in 2 pics at 159lbs (and looks amazing in both) but is smaller in the second one due to less body fat!!!! Wow!
  • I'm 5'11". I have always been in a "healthy weight range"... BUT I put on weight right in my lower stomach, so it looks like a pregnant belly. I have a daughter but had lost all my weight after I had her. Then from eating however I wanted to eat and never exercising I gained and was so unhappy. I could even really tell it in my face, and especially in my clothes. I went up two sizes. I started MFP last Feb. and lost 25 lbs total to get to 134. That was a really "skinny" weight for me and it's where I want to be again (I'm only 140 currently but I've got a dang pooch and can tell in other areas that I've gained weight or am retaining water). Really, the weight isnt the biggest thing to me... it's not having that pooch, and feeling like I look good in clothes/bathing suits... so I need to focus more on less soda, more water, and exercising.

    What an amazing thread!! I love this!!

    Im 5'11" and have always been a bit unsure as to what I "should" weigh. Ive been right up and right down over the years. At the moment Im reasoanbly happy at 156 lbs. I am aiming to lose just a teeny bit more, but I dont want to look long and gangly. My boobies have shrunk and suffered enough already! lol.

    Nice to see you all here though! x
  • Awesome thread! You all look great! :) I'm 5'11 as well!

    I have no great before pictures the first pic is me down 15 lbs from my original start I started at 176 with a goal of 136. However the bikini pic and the pic on my profile were taken after a 40lb weight loss. Although the yellow bikini shot is better I am more toned, but I can not find it in my computer to post. It's hard to see in the profile pic. I am 5'11 and both of these pics were taken at 135 lbs.

    Bump :) I am almost 5'10" and would like to get to 160, then try for 145 as my ultimate goal. Love to see those before and afters! You ladies rock!
  • I'm 5'10 - I started at 180 in October 2011 which is the highest I've ever reached. I was an athlete in high school and weighed around 138 at my lowest / most fit. College and post college career led me to pack on 40 lbs... I'm getting married in September 2012 and I'd like to get back to 145. I love seeing other tall ladies before and after pix since it's such a better reference than the other 5'2 ... 5'3 pix!

    I am so glad there are a lot of people looking to have the same goals as me. I am 5'9 and 233. My goal is to be around 170. Once I hit that, I will reassess! Would love to be friends with anyone looking for support to do the same!

    I'm 5'9", I guess you could call my profile picture the "before". I'm trying to tone up and put on a little weight. In my picture I was 105 pounds, now I'm 110 and working towards 115. Amazing transformations guys! You're so inspiring.
