5'8/9" ladies, I need YOU!

Natashaa1991

i have thin legs and arms, but my butt is pretty big/round, and very small boobs. my waist is too wide and i used to hate it-but now i learned how to live with it and i like it, because if i didn't have wide waist and shoulders i would look odd (because of my lack of boobs)

You're welcome it took me ages too so I thought I'd share, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of help on here to tell you how.

Hi! I'm 5 foot 9 and was 168 at my heaviest when not pregnant! I've had 4 children, and my weight suddenly increased when I had to start taking medication for high blood pressure.

I'm 154lb now with 30 inch waist 42 inch hips and 35 inch bust!

Target weight is 140, I'm 47 so I want to go into my 50's a trim as possible, when I become a grandma want to look dam gorgeous on the baby pictures!!

Sorry no photos, I'm at work and they'll look at me strangely if I strip off to my undies!

btw You girls all look FANTASTIC! Well done all of you!

Hi girls :flowerforyou:

I started out being 165 lbs :sad:

Now I am 146 lbs

My goal weight 135 lbs :embarassed:


All of you, add me, thats and order! :laugh:

P.S I am also 5"8

You could be my twin!!!

I started at 163 (not on MFP) I was 153 when I started MFP.

I am down to 143.

My goal weight is 135.

I am also 5'8"

okidoki7

oh and on my heaviest i was 138! did not look good on me.

138 is my ultimate goal weight!!
I'll be happy if I even get to 150

snap !!!!! lol...id be happy getting to 161 actually lol..

maybe on some people it looks good, but my legs always stay thin and everything goes to my tummy and love handles! I also don't have boobs. On some 5'8" girls 138 looks pretty good but i have to be thinner to make a balance with my legs.

you're right, although we're the same height, we're all different builds etc, you're very slim built, whereas im more of a solidly built woman, and would end up like lolli - pop head if i got that low lol....

Yeah I agree too,
I have ff cup boobs and even at my smallest they were still about an e which does make a little difference weight wise
Also I have quite wide hips ( it's like the widened a little when I had my son and never went back)
[/quote

my boobs are a DD, i too have wide hips, which is great for shape etc...but not when you end up wearing a size bigger in jeans to accomodate for them, then you end up with sag at the waist :frown: not a good look...lol....

JediSwan

I am 5'8" and currently 222, heaviest was 265 after my second was born :sad:
My end goal is 160. That's a number I know I would be happy with and feel good about. I dont want my ribs showing.
My immediate goal is to get under 200 which I am hoping Insanity will help with. So, I started that this week.
I dont have many pics up right now but will post some after I get under 200.

My main issue is boobs NEVER go down. And I have "birthing hips" LOL

Feel free to add me if you want.

HI! My starting weight before MFP was around 240. :noway:
I am 5'8" and 40 years old. I wish I would have been more serious about weight loss when i was younger because at 40, it is soooooo much harder!! :sad:
My Goal weight is 160. That puts me in a healthy BMI range. We'll see how i look when i get there.

I am always looking for more friends on here, especiallly similar ones. I love MFP and I am on here daily (since January 2012).
:drinker:

Hey ladies! I am almost 5'9 and working on shedding 50lbs. Started and restarted this journey more times than I care to recall, but I am all in now. MFP has certainly helped with that. No pics yet, although at the end of the month, I might do a "before" and "current" as a way to track my progress since the scale is a mean SOB! LOL

Please fee free to add me! :-)

5' 9" was 205 now I'm 147.5. I lift heavy like a beast, run and box and I eat like a boss.

You can see pics in my profile.

Hi, I'm 5'8 1/2 and currently weigh around 140. I started at 158, lost 23 and have put back on a few between vacations and weight lifting. I'm back into "losing" mode to get back to my happy maintenance range of 132-138.

This picture is from before I joined MFP and it was the OMG!! moment that caused me to start MFP. I vividly remember thinking I looked good before going to dinner that night.


This is me in February of this year, probably 138 at the time.

(here's hoping the pictures show up!)

Oh, and I'm 49 and have had 2 kids.

Lcam510

I love this thread - I'm 5'9 and 152. The highest I've ever been was about 165 and my lowest was about 125. I maintained at 132-135 for about 3 years but I went back to school and gained 20. Good Luck to everyone and congratulations to everyone that has already met their goals.

Feel free to add me!

I'm 5'9" weighed 211# when I started focusing on my health, fitness and nutrition. Now I sit at right around 150#. (My goal was 155#). I have weighed less in my adult life (I'm 41) - weighed 140-145# in my late-20's, but haven't been this size (6-8) since I-don't-know-when. Someone else posted about weight training, and I believe that together with cardio and Yoga are the reason my body is smaller even though the scale is a bit higher. I'd be okay to stay where I'm at or lose 5-10#. But, I do enjoy eating so I'm not in any hurry! There are pics on my profile.

Hello there! I am 5'8", currently 175, goal is 150 +/- (i'm 37, and curvy, not gonna ever be skinny per se...). I have yo-yoed for too long! Last spring I did Insanity, and looked and felt great, I loved it, but I stopped, and it crept back up... like it will. I am currenlty using brazil butt lift and shakeology from beach body, and it's helping. I used to be so much more motivated, did roller derby and taught yoga, but we moved across the country, and my motivation must be in one of my old un-packed boxes... I'm working on it though, and not giving in!

Keep up the good work, and I'll come up with some pics to post!

Hi everyone

I am a 5'9" 32yr old mother of 1 (6yr old) and currently 150lbs. I want to get to 138-135lbs.

My lowest post pregnancy weight was 138lbs (April 2011)

I have no idea what I weighed before getting pregnant because I never ever weighed myself. I was just naturally slim whilst eating as much chocolate as I wanted lol.

Unfortunately I cannot do that any more so I am trying to monitor my food intake but the problem I am having is deciding what calorie allowance I should be eating.

I'm set to sedentary (desk job) MFP has given me 1310 cals for a 1lb loss per week. I want to be at my goal weight by my 33rd birthday (Jan 2013). So my question is should I stick to the 1310 cals until then or do I need to eat my bmr cals(1468 I think)

Any ladies who have reached their goal weight,what did you do in terms of calories?

Cgirlish

before 185


during 168



I started at 206 but no pics, would like to get down to 150ish and then tone, going to start lifting weights after my 70 mile bike ride this weeekend and my triathlon on the 29,,, I'm almost 5'10"

ps hope the pictures work

Miche11e5

I set my base MFP calories at 1500 and eat my exercise calories as well. If I do this, I stay within 1-3#. If I want to lose more, I'd need to set my base MFP calories at 1200. but I like food!
