I'm so pumped to find this thread! I'm 6ft and 158lbs with a medium build. I started at 295 May 2016. I got my diet under control first. Then I started exercising in January. I'm feeling great! It's wonderful to see the before and after for other tall 'sisters'! Keep strong, everyone! It's tough at first because no one can see your progress and appreciate your hard work except you. But keep doing it for you!!

It's not all it's cracked up to be. I have trouble finding pants. I'm too tall for Regular length and too short for Tall lengths. So I have to end up buying 2 pairs of the same pants...one for flats and one for heels. My dream height is 5'10".
I'm 5'9" and I gained 50 lbs during third tri in my pregnancy. It's been a battle losing weight and keeping it off since then(2012). I've been up and down, on and off. Lost all but 15 lbs a couple times couldn't get lower than that but then always gaining again. I was diagnosed hypothyroid in early 2015, but symptomatic much earlier than that and didn't know what was wrong. Since medicating properly, tweaking my diet and regular exercise I have now hit my goal weight of 145. Bf% is 21-22 area. I haven't weighed this since 2011, it's an amazing feeling. I hope this inspires some to never give up, always fight for what you aim for!!! Anything is possible, but it starts with your mind set and determination!

Watching this thread. I'm 5'8, SW 208, CW 201, GW 175, and I will re-evaluate when I get there. I am very large boned -my wrists appear bony at 7.5 inches- so I'll probably always be on the high end of the weight category.
Love this thread.

Am looking forward to reviewing when I get to goal as it looks like I will be able to go further and not look 'too skinny' - you guys are amazing!!
ETA my first before/after pic. I scoured Facebook and I really don't have many full length pics of myself! Have always hated camera - but now it seems to be that it was due to my weight not just dislike of cameras, have less issues now
@arcticwoman you can do it! I started at 5' 9" and 271, I'm currently hanging around 200 hoping to lose another 30+ lbs, just keep going and build some healthy habits!
