Hi Ladies,
I am 5'8" (on the short side for this thread) and I currently weigh 175. My goal is 160 which I think will put me back in my size 10 clothes. My current measurements are 41 bust, 35 waist, 43 hip. I am huge chested and have a curvy shape even when I am thinner. I've also had 7 kids so there is no chance that these hips will ever be tiny again. I am ok with that though.
Best of luck to everyone.

Me too! 5"8 174.....but no 7 kids! WHOA! Only 3 here. How do u do it? LOL! Good luck!0 -
Man, I just love how this thread has taken off!!!! Yesterday I felt as if I was the only one with this problem, but now I see that there are many of us tall, beautiful ladies. I have always found if very hard to set realistic goals for myself. I will never be 36-24-36 (ha ha baby got back!!!!) I don't think I mentioned earlier that I am currently in a size 10 jeans comfortably and can get on 8's, but it gives a little muffin top. My goal now is to get those on and still be able to breath! :laugh:0

I'm 5'9" and around 215 right now. My goal is to get to around 150, which on me is pretty darn skinny (especially because I carry so much of my weight in my, er, chest). Right now my waist is around 37 inches, and I want to get to 32, in a magical perfect world.
Uh, I just realized I have 65 lbs to go--yikes! I'm going to focus on 40 lbs by June. That seems aggressive but reasonable...0 -
Sorry, total mess up posting. Don't know how to delete.0

wow theres a lot of us. haha
im 5'9 and i was 184 the other day . ill take measurements later cause i dont know them off hand
my final goal is around 160 but right now im hitting a plateau with the actual pounds dropping so im working more on toning up. i am in a semi loose 14 and would like to be a 10.
Is your profile picture of you now at 184 and 5' 9"? You look fantastic! Good luck reaching your goal. Jennifer0 -

CHEERS TO ALL THE TALL LADIES IN THE HOUSE!!!! :drinker:
I'm 5'9 or 5'10 and currently weigh 154. I wear a size 10 jeans comfortably, but they're getting looser. It's really hard seeing how weight is relative to height--it's great that there are so many tall chicas here. This thread made my day.
I've lost 15 lbs so far and would like to lose 5 more, I think. I have wide hips, but a pretty skinny frame underneath, I think. I was lanky throughout high school and didn't really gain weight until college and beyond...what a cliche. :laugh:
Anyways, good luck to you all.0 -
I'm a tall girl as well....for years I believed I was 5'11 until my physician recently informed me that I'm two inches shorter than I originally thought, but anywho....I feel like a giant in size compared to you ladies...I don't want to list my measurements because they are truly out of line with anyone who has posted. I'll just say I need to lose about 80 pounds to begin to even think of shopping in the misses section....working on it daily....did plyometrics last night (a killer workout) and I'm sore all over...Thanks for the motivation....someone, somewhere is always wanting to climb a tall girl....
I was 270. I lost all my weight on my own and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do, because I had to face the fact that I had let myself get to that point at 18 years of age. Keep fighting & keep trying. You're worth it, no matter how much weight you think you need to lose to be able to put it in a message. Good luck!!0 -
Hello from another tall girl!!!0

My goal is 155, but I want to be able to maintain 160! 5 lbs wiggling room! LOL!0 -
I am 5'10" and currently weigh around 165. It's hard to relate to some of the other threads with women much smaller than me. I was curious with people closer to my height what is the average weight and body measurements? Right now I believe that I am 38-33-39, my thigh is 23.5. I am feeling pretty good about everything except my waist. I feel that I could lose a few more inches there. If it's not too personal I would greatly appreciate replies.
I am 5" 8...wt-174 measurements are 40-31-38.....my goal is 155ish
Good luck to you!

So shall we got for a full-on group? Any names in mind? I totally need a group right now and I'd love it to be with other women whose goals and numbers match my own!!
Because this weekend... well... focaccia yesterday and peanut m&ms today. 'nuff said :frown: But it's an improvement over the last couple of months that I STOPPED myself. I really want to lose 5lbs in the next 4 weeks so no more monkey business!!
G'night fellow sky scapers

I'm 5'10" and wow some of these girls are a lot skinnier than my GOAL weight! right now I'm about 220 lbs and wearing a size 16, hoping to get down to about 180 lbs - I know that for 5'10" BMI turns into "normal" range at 174, but honestly I've been skinnier than 180 and it ended up not feeling healthy at all, so I'm just going to try to get to where my body feels good!0

Hi all,
I'm 6 foot and currently weigh 257 lbs (wearing a size 24). I used to weigh between 150 - 160 and felt that was my perfect body weight...hoping to get back there soon!0 -

Thank you for this post. I started the year at 270 lbs and it is sooo nice to hear of someone else who was here and lost it. You give me the courage to keep going!0 -

Yay body buddies!!! Its so nice to see I'm not the only freakishly tall girl who will NEVER be a size Zero, Three or even Five!! :] You ladies make my day!0 -
WooHoo... Amazing Amazons :bigsmile:
Do we want to start a challenge? A certain amount of weight in a certain time?0 -
Absolutely! How about a certain percentage of weight loss by a certain time? We can keep track weekly ourselves, post it here and then after four weeks or so our fearless leader can post a spreadsheet of everyone's percentages. Should we log in every day with our calorie & exercise stats, or at least log in once a week with our percentage?
And all those ladies teetertottering (wow I spelled that wrong LOL) in the 5'8"+ range are welcome, too! What do you think?
This will be great! I am so excited to know this many tall women who understand my plight of pants too short, skirts too short, and shoes that don't ever fit just right! LOL0 -
I love this thread. I thought I was 5'9", but I am actually 5'10". Woooooooo! Hello three digits! I'm not sure what my measurements are, but I weigh 168 right now, and my goal is 149. I'd love to be there by July.
Good luck everyone!0 -
Yes, we are the Amazons, for sure. I'm in!:happy:0

I'm 5' 9.5" and 245. My goal weight is 170, but as an adult I've never been below 185. I certainly know that I want to get below 200 and never cross that line again, but I'm not sure where my weight will ultimately feel right. I have a large frame, wide hips and a large pelvic bone which I definitely inherited. I feel like a large person, I am a large person, but my proportions and my silhouette certainly don't look like I weigh as much as I do. I also live in Asia where I feel like a HUGE person most of the time. It doesn't help that people here have no qualms about telling you your fat and giving you diet tips. I have muscle, heavy bones, and a big butt and I have since I always have. I am just trying to get toned, tight, fit and strong. I'd like to wear a size 10 when I'm at my goal weight, but I've been hovering between a 16 and 22 for 10 years. Well, I started Jan. 1 in earnest. I'd been half-heartedly trying for a month before that, but now I'm getting serious. Of course it's working. It always works if you work it.0

I think this sounds like a great idea! Any ideas for a weigh-in day fellow Amazons?0 -
I'm 5'10" and would love to be 155lbs but that's just too hard to maintain. I'm not small framed so even if I were skin and bones I'd be a size 8. I'm currently at 184 and would like to be able to maintain 160-165 for the long term.0

Okay lovelies, I started a thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/78151-amazing-amazons-round-1 See you over there!!0

I'm 5'10" and around 63-64kgs (140lbs?) - currently trying to put on some muscle weight and tone. I get frustrated when people tell me I'm lucky I'm tall because I can carry extra weight and don't have to worry about what I eat. Um - no.. I pack on the weight around the hips, thighs and stomach if I'm not careful. And anyway -for me it's about being fit and healthy and feeling good about myself, so no I won't have that second serving of chocolate cake at morning tea time just because I'm tall and can 'get away with it' - that's what caused me to gain weight (which I've since lost) in the first place!!0

OMG that is the funniest thing I've read all day, and soooooo true. If I was shaped NOW like I was in my 20's, well, it would be a big wild party of misbehaving. :bigsmile:God is smart, he made sure I didnt have confidance and that body at the same time. Damn shame when ya think about it :sad:0 -
I'm 5'10"!!! My measurements are 34"-28"-39". I don't do the weight thing, I signed up as 155 but I haven't weighed myself in ages. I would like to get my hips to 36.5".0
