I'm almost 5' 11''. A "big girl" if you will.... Was curious if any other tall girls are out there? If so, what are your goals?

    I'm 5'10. Right now my goal is to get healthy and fit. I have quite a lot to lose and I'm not sure what I'll look like at different weights. I think I'd like to go down to around 160-170. I like looking like a woman with curves and a booty...especially being tall with all that. I'm not sure how my body will look by then so we'll see. I'm not afraid of having some meat on my bones.

    I'm 5'9" and am losing weight for my 10 year reunion. At my lightest I was 145 (junior & senior year of high school), and at my heaviest I was 202 (Pregnant with my second son). I started this weight loss journey, if you will, at 175. My goal was to get to 160. As I was approaching 160, I changed my goal to 155. I have reached 155, and would like to average 150-157 ish. I feel much better, look much better, and love to exercise now! Being taller is hard because even though you are heavier, the weight looks so much different than on a shorter person (or at least that's what I've found). Also, it's seems as if my 20 pound weight loss wasn't as noticeable on me as it would've been on a shorter person. I like having curves, and I know I'll never be "skinny" but I am really happy with my progress so far and am just trying to keep it up!

    Thanks for the responses, ladies! My goal weight is 150. My thinnest, I was around 140. But that was incredibly difficult to maintain. (And I was in my 20s.) Now, at 37, I'd be happy below 160.

    I've been a lurker for a while, but am excited to be on this journey with everyone. I need all the motivation and support I can get!

    Hey! I am 5'11" as well. I started at my highest weight of 298 and my first/main goal is to get to ONEderland. So right now that is 199.9. After that i will re-evaluate my goals and see where I am. I have a large bone structure and am very athletically built (broad shoulders, no waist).

    Feel free to add me, I love having friends with the same height, and the issues that go along with them!

    Also, there is a group for women over 5'9" on here, search "Totally Tall Women of MFP". A great group of girls. :smile:

    I'm just a hair under 6'0" and my goal is 160-165 (currently 171). Just enough to get me into that next size down in jeans and have a flat stomach again!

    I'm 5' 5" and I was feeling pretty tall before I clicked, lol! I'm tall for my family and my guy's family too, so I forget I'm probably about average.

    I'm 5'9" and my goal is 135ish. I'm down around 140 lately and I'll be okay staying here if I've put on muscle. I wanted to be skinny again when I started, but now I want to be fit and strong.

    I'm 5'10, currently at 175. At 38, my goal weight is 160. When I graduated high school (20 yrs ago-GASP!) I was 120-rail thin. I got married at 140, and was 160 when I got pregnant for the second time-so I've been all shapes! I'd just really like to lose the thighs and butt...oh my!

    I'm 5'10" and my goal weight is 175-180. I think you have to take into consideration your body type. I think some people have a bigger frame in general or more muscle mass so they may have a higher goal weight. I was 175 in high school and was very slim - as in, no boobs slim - but I am also very muscular. I can't imagine that I would look very good any smaller than that.

    I'm 5'11" and my goal is 175 for now. I might re-evaluate when I get there, but right now that's what I'm aiming for. Actually, I will jump for joy when the number on the scale starts with a 1, even if it's 199.9 lol.
