I am 5'10" and I'll be 27 on Monday.

This picture is from january 2012 at 194.2lbs



This one is from July 2012 but I still stand the same. 175lbs





Looking to get down to 150-160. I dont care how much I weigh, I just want to be a size 8 again.

I have done it by excercising and eating right. I love to run and bike. Usually I eat 1200-2600 calories a day.

I heart this thread. Great to remind myself that with hard work and eating right, that I am not doomed to stay like this.

I just started logging this month, working out 3-4 times a week at the gym (cardio and weights) and trying to stay active with two small kids on the weekend to burn some bonus calories.

You all look beautiful!! :flowerforyou:

Love this Post!!! I'm 5'10 and currently 230lbs. I Lost 85lbs over the course of last year with healthy eating and TONS of exercise. I just started MFP at the beginning of this month and already lost 9lbs! Just like all the other beautiful tall women here I was always told that I "carried my weight well" and since it's distributed pretty evenly throughout my body no one EVER would have guessed that I used to weight over 333 lbs. I Love how much this site (MFP) is motivating me to get in to even better shape. Still looking forward to losing another 64 lbs by the end of this year (GW 175lbs) so fingers crossed I'm make it happen. Would Love any new friends to help support and motivate each other!

Bumping for some fit-spiration! All of the photos show amazing results - and so good to see some other tall girlies - I'm 5 ft 10 and whilst I'm always happy for a shorter person to have lost weight, I find it a little demotivating when I see someone at say 5 ft 3 who has lost 10lbs and has incredible before and after photos.. whereas it takes a good 20lbs for me to drop a dress size ha!

Well done everyone

I'm 6' even. I started off January of 2012 weighing in at 302 lbs. I'm now at 209 lbs. Still have more to go. I'm focusing more on my body composition now rather than weight. I figure that if I do that, the rest will begin to fall into place.

You look great!!!

hwalt001

I'm 5'9 and 146 lbs. I just want to finally break 140!! Everyone tells me I don't need to loose but its more getting fit! One day I will be a mean lean fighting machine haha

justicer68

I'm 5'8 and met my goal a couple of years ago but this last year due to some minor injuries I had put about 20 - 25lbs back on. I have lost 7 so I am getting there.
In 2010 I went from 201 to 140 in about six months. My profile is my before and after pic.

Hey there!! I hope this link works!!! If not I'll have to fix it lol. I'm 22 years old and 6ft tall I was 230 and am currently 186 - my ideal weight I want to be is between 145-150 . Being tall can be discouraging - they say we carry our weight well. that may be so but if its hard to notice when we put it on - its also hard to notice when we take it off!. so just hang in there and keep it up!

I am 6', but only started my journey.... RACE YOU?

akgirl88

this thread has been really helpful!! yay tall girls!

I'm 5'9" and the lowest i ever weighed was about 140 at a size 8 AE jeans ( i think they're sizes are a little different from other brands, but maybe thats just me.) the only thing was that i didnt have much muscle. my current goal is to get back as close to that as i can, but in a healthier way.

Bump for inspiration! everyone looks amazing!!!!!!

Love this thread!! I'm 5'9. I have a long way to go but my goal is 175lb. Never been there in my adult life so as I get closer I guess I will re-evaluate. Thanks for the motivation ladies!

stephcalcott

Yeah - joining the tall girls club! I don't have any before and after pictures (just started on MFP) but I will get started on that. I am 42 years old, 5'11 and weigh 140 pounds. That weight might seem low but I'm very squishy. In addition, I have a heart valve problem and low thyroid. So, my goals are less about weight loss and more about health. I want to burn some fat and gain some muscle, get my heart in the best shape possible, and in general - just be healthy. Everyone on here is so inspiring I just had to join! Go tall girls!!!!

marathon_mama

Is 5'7 considered tall? I guess I'm kind of on the tall side. No pictures yet, but soon!

no

Inspiring thread. I don't have any before pictures as its been a longer journey for me and i'm pretty sure i burned all pictures of the heavier me. I am 5'8 and currently at 154. I got down to 146 before my wedding about a year and a half ago but i'm pretty sure that was stress/bridezilla related. At 146 i still felt like i had a few lbs to go. My goal is 140 and toned although i can't remember ever seeing that number in my life. Maybe when i was 11. I know everyone has a different body shape/type and consistency but i think all the tall ladies look fabulous in the 150's and 160's. Wish i could feel that way about myself. Hmmmph! Tall ladies add me as a friend, we can inspire eachother.

stephcalcott

Wow! That's all I have to say...

Bumpity Bump!

This post is so motivating. You never see all these tall girls in one place. I'm 5.9 1/2 and weigh 214, my goal weight is 145-155 but i would be happy with 160 again! My lowest weight was about 7 years ago at 154. I would love to get back there before my wedding on 11/20/2013 I need some MFP buddies. Feel free to add me. TALL GIRL SQUAD!

GREAT JOB ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!
I'm 6'2 and always used the excuse that I was big boned. After losing 75 lbs......I knew that was NOT a legitamate excuse for moi. I did find 15 of those pounds again but working at losing them and then some. My goal is to lose 100 lbs and see what my body will allow afterwards.

Started at 328! Ughhhh.

Good luck to all MFP Tall friends. Oh and what about the task of pants shopping!!!! LOL

Danipri22

All you ladies are doing amazingly well! I'm 5'9 and have lost 14lbs so far, your success' have really inspired me!

chunsagirl01

I dont have any pics to give you at the moment, but Im 5'9 and currently 177. I started out at 220 ugh . Its ok its been a long journey and I will be at goal of 150 in no time!

jbr121

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thread! How inspirational you all are.

Me: 5'9. 40yrs. Started at 192 - it's taken 2 years, but now at 147.

Curious to see how many of us tall girls are aiming for 140 - seems like that's the magic number for a lot of us. Wonder why?

aero0811

Im looking at these pictures and thinking im the same weight as some of you, and I look so much bigger! Im 5'8 and my heaviest was 185 lbs and im down to 163lbs now, goal weight is 145 lbs I think hopefully by summer.

kayceeleekennedy

I'm 6'3,, And I'm 223, trying to get down to 190 before my wedding in june.
No pictures yet but I'm working on it.

Kerinjay

I'm 5'11. Started at 206 - down to 199 currently after two weeks on MFP. I have been walking 3 miles a day four times a week and watching what I eat. I would like to get down to like 160. I'm going to try the 30 day shred dvd that I've seen a lot of people on here talking about. I knew I was bigger, I didn't realize how big I had gotten til I got weighed at the Dr.'s office. My profile pic, I was probably like 200 lbs. I hate it.
Good luck to all the tall beauties out there!!!
