Tall Gals Check in - Motivation for 5'8" and above

purplecharm

I'm 5'8'. I just started my journey 1/7/2013. I am working on losing 85lbs. I currently weigh 235. I have a large frame, so I think 150 lbs would be a good weight for my build.

I started the 30DS yesterday and I am looking forward to seeing my results at the end of my 30 days.

Hi, I am 6 feet tall. I started this journey at my highest weight of 302. (ACK!) I have since lost about 46. My goal weight is 175 but I remember looking pretty good at 200. I will not stop until I am at least in Onederland! I still need to post progress pictures, my profile is at my highest.
Good luck everyone!

I am around 5 ft 9 1/2, my highest weight was 172lbs then I got down to 167lbs . When I started on here I was 163 in October. CW 160lbs my gw is 140lbs. I too wear heels a lot to make myself look thinner, and my hubby hates when I wear heels because I either his height or taller. lol

I'm 5'8", and just starting out. I'm 11 days in and have lost 4 lbs total. My SW is 315 and my first MAJOR goal is 200 lbs. Eventually I would like to be around 175. No pics yet, will have to get my hubby to take a couple and put them up. Feel free to add me!

I'm 5'10" and currently at 260. On 1/31/12 I have birth to my son and i weighed in at 305 at the hospital. I started my weight lose journey on April 16th and since then have lost the 45 lbs. I lost most of the weight following the Paleo lifestyle. My body feel much better since then and the weight loss is really just an added bonus in my opinion. I have been on a "break" since Oct but am getting back into the swing of things. I currently don't have a scale which is sort of nice because I just focus day to day on my health and I know I will get to my goal of 175 eventually. good luck to you

5'9," my starting weight in October was 240lbs. I just saw ONEderland yesterday, at 199.5!! Would love to get down to 160lbs and see from there.

I'm 5.8 1/2" started at 210 and am down to 157 where after Christmas, the scale does not want to budge an iota! Sorry, loading pictures looks impossible, but I can tell you I wore size 16 pants and am now down to a size 9 clingy, skinny jeans and even they are a getting a little loose at the waist! Also, I'm almost 66.

I love seeing a tall gals group. Those that posted pics look marvellous. For those of you starting this MFP journey, welcome and the very best of luck. Be sure to log on here each and every day, whether or not you do your excerise or eat beyond your recommended calories, Open your food journals to others, and congratulate yourselves for doing this!

I'm 5'11, and just had a baby a few months ago so I'm at my highest weight 197. Being tall is both a blessing and a curse. I don't look horrible at this weight, so its hard to get motivated, even though I am "overweight". My goal is 170lbs. I've done it before (well twice, after each of my previous pregnancies)

5'9 Just started....143 today pic was taken at 150. Looking to hit 125 by summer:)

Psychedelicately

I'm 5'9, my starting weight was 205 and I'm down to 181. I don't feel like there is a big difference in my photos... hopefully in another 10 lbs or so?! My goal weight is 150-160. Feel free to add me!

Mid-June 2012 I started at 225 pounds.
At my last weigh-in I was 163 pounds.

I'm 3 pounds away from my goal of 160 pounds.
Hoping to hit my goal this time next month.

And I'm 49 years old.

I'm 5'9" but I just started so I don't have any success stories yet LOL. Bumping for motivation.

Mine is exactly the same as hers...same height...same weight loss.

5/11 here currently at 234 lbs. Dont have many photos downloaded yet cause I just got started on this site but on my profile pic is a full body shot of me at 240 lbs awhile back. I will post more pics soon. It definately keeps one motivated when seeing others approx. the same height on their journey to loosing weight.
