Success stories ladies 6ft and over?

Hey there ladies

I just want to see some pictures of ladies 6ft and over success stories. I am 6ft and my goal weight is 140, which is close to the lower end of normal BMI range for my height. I worry that it may be un-reachable or unhealthy for such a large bone frame. Just wondering how much others have lost around my size and what you felt was comfortable for your height

thanks!

I am still a work in progress...but I am 6' also and started at 215, currently down to 190. 140 sounds REALLY low to me for such a tall gal, but everyone carries their weight differently so it may be a good weight for you. Good luck

Hey!

Good luck with your weight loss - looks like you have been doing an AWESOME job!

I have previously lost about 50lbs and (yes, I'm hijacking your thread, sorry) I'm only 5'10" and currently 165lbs and only want to get to 159lbs (ish!).

I guess everyone feels healthy and happy at different weights. I don't think it really matters as long as you feel good about your size and are at a healthy weight. I've (generally speaking) chosen a body fat to achieve that's about mid-range for my age and am headed towards the goal weight to get to that. I might try to then get my body fat down some more but not bothered about getting lighter.

I have to remember that slim doesn't always mean fit or toned or healthy!

I'm 6' and my goal is 144. I'm in the 150's now (aiming for 144 by April) Altho I'm a healthy weight, I like how I feel in the 140's. This is the first time I've incorporated weights into my fitness regime so as I progress I may end up staying in the 150's and concentrate on what the measuring tape says.

Too embarrassed to post my before and durings, but I'm 6 feet and started at 230. I'm currently 191. I'm surprised by how "normal" I already look, but I definitely could stand to lose another 20 pounds. I have my goal set to 160, but I can definitely see myself happy at 170. It all depends. I plan on incorporating strength training in my working out soon, so I might see the scale stop, but hopefully I'll be losing inches.

Hi I am 5'11" and for most of my life I 135 when I was running often and 140 when I wasn't. After 2 kids in two years I got up to 195, I am currently 165 and trying to get down to 140-145. It depends on your body. I also felt good and fit in the lower part of my BMI. I look fine right now, but not tight and firm like I use to be and still a little bit of a belly.

Good luck, I don't have pic's but if you are running lots and doing lots of weights it is totally possible to reach that weight.

Thanks so much for all your responses guys! - yeah right now I'm 186, but I feel like I at this weight I still have a lot of fat to loose, especially around my abdomen. I lift weights and do cardio, but feel like I still have a high percentage of body fat.
