CALLING ALL TALL GIRLS!!!!

LOVING THIS THREAD!!!

So great to see how great everyone looks!!! You are really inspiring me

I'm 5'8. At my heaviest, I was almost 210. Currently at 191. The lowest I remember myself was 145 - I was 16 and pretty damn slim at the time (although I remember at the time feeling self-concious about my body) . I usually look about 20 lbs lighter than what the scale shows - similar to what everyone else seems to be saying... I even chatted with a cop once and he was 20 lbs under in estimating my weight lol...

My curently goal is 150s for now, but I will be pretty damn happy when I reach the 160s...

Feel free to add me - we can all use some more motivation

Hi! I am 6'1", and started (again!) at 385 lb two weeks ago. I am at the beginning of a long journey, but this time I am really looking forward to the process, not only the result... Can't say if I am big or small boned - once I can find some bones, I will let you know... :-). So, for now, I am shooting for 180 as an ultimate goal.

My first mini-goal would be to get under 350 so I can start using the elliptical again. (it's Ben sitting in my bedroom unused for couple of years now for the fear of breaking it, since it is only rated to 350 lb)

I do not have the full body before picks yet, but I'll take one today. No after pictures yet either, but they will be coming.

I am new to this site, but does anyone know of a challenge that is somewhat structured that I can join to help me stay on track?

I'm 5'10". highest weight was 282.2. I'm now down to 227.2. I do a progress photo every 10lbs or so. My default pic is when I was 238ish or so. Goal is to hit 190 and see how I feel about it.

Congrats to EVERYONE! Its not easy but its worth it.

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.

I am 6'1. Now that's tall! :-) I started my journey almost 2weeks ago at 210. I have three kids. My boys were both 10 pounds and my daughter, who is 4 months, was 7lbs 12 oz. But I can't blame them for the extra weight. I lost every pound within a week of my daughter being born! My goal is 170, but I really just want to be healthy! I want to be a good example to my kids, stay healthy. I want to be the best I can be! Go tall girls!! :-) We are beautiful!

I'm 5'9" and love wearing heels, so add 2-3 inches LOL! My heaviest in my life was 275 size 22-24. After my first daughter a lot starting dropping off, had a bout of hyperthyroidism and dropped some more. I don't know exactly what I was when I started last summer, around the 230 mark, decided to start excercising but really didn't watch what I ate. I joined MFP in Nov, SW 224, CW 200.8 with 30 more to go. I do have a big bone structure so 170 should be just fine. No pics, don't know how to post!

I'm 5' 11.5 and I love being tall! I have a large frame and I'm around 190 lbs right now, shooting for 175 lbs. If any of you tall ladies want some more friends for encouragement and support, feel free to add me! Love all the wonderful success stories here! :happy:

I'm 5'11" and currently 218. I started out at 332. My goal is 175 pounds. I have pictures in my profile.

This post makes me so happy!

I''m 5'8'' and just started using MFP last week. I weigh 150lbs, but I'm small framed so I should weigh 125ish. I don't think I've weighed that since like junior high, but I'm working on it! Dieting is easy for me, it's the working out that sucks! I'm kinda just taking it one pound at a time.

Thanks for all the inspiration ladies!

I am 5'8" and I started at 187lbs and 35% body fat. My goal weight is 145 lbs and 20% body fat. It has taken me six months and I am about half way to goal. I tend to lose weight really slowly. I have two small children and I do fairly well loging my food and watching what I eat but I suck at exercising. My plan is to join a local gym and start excerising on my lunch breaks in two weeks (waiting for pay day) and lifting weights. I would love the encouragement so please feel free to friend me.

I can't wait to share my success story with you! MFP has been the only reason I have had any luck doing this and I am so grateful for the wonderful community here. There are really wonderful people to be found and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

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
