Hi, I'm looking for before/during and after pics from people with the same height/build as me! I started in January at 241 and am currently at 179. According to calculators on google, my ideal body weight is between 140-160.. I don't think with my build I will ever be able to get below 150 healthily but I'm hoping to reach 160!
Here are my pics!

I'm 33, 5'11 and right now (as of this morning) 147.8lbs. I don't have any before pics but I'm the tall one in my profile pic...I think I was about 145 then. My goal weight was 157 and I downslid a bit to 145 because I didn't adjust my calories accordingly.
It is possible to get to 140-160, but a normal BMI for us is up to 179. I think if you can pull off more weight I'd stay there...you look awesome! In January I started at 180 and I didn't look half as good as you do!0 -
Wow you look great.....I have not been taking many transformation pictures but I will put some up later....I am so excited to see that you lost some of your boobies.....I really need mine to go away. I was as high as 215 and when I joined MFP I was 207, now I am 194 and my goal is to reach 175 so that I am not considered overweight and look healthy.0

Wow well done you're amazing!! I meant to say in my first post that the reason I don't think I can go lower than that is because of my build, I'm quite broad! It's really annoying to me when my friends/colleagues tell me I should stop losing weight now. I know BMI isn't everything, but I am at the higher end of 'ideal' on the BMI chart so I am just under 'overweight'. So I know I do have a bit further to go!

When I was 180 I thought I was pretty broad too (or large build) but the more the weight came off I realized I wasn't. It was just that I was "fat". Not really wild about that term, but it is what it is. My friends have only known me wearing a size 12-14, I'm now a 4-6. They all thought I looked good then, but are totally floored at my "transformation". I'm hoping to never go back there, but it's hard to never say never...0

Wow maybe there's hope for me then!! What kind of routine do you have? Right now I just stick to 1200cal and I don't exercise but that's going to changeWhen I was 180 I thought I was pretty broad too (or large build) but the more the weight came off I realized I wasn't.

I wear a size 14 trousers (that's a US 12 I think) and they are a bit baggy but what's annoying is that if Iwear a 12 they are too short!

Hi! I´m 5`12 and weigh 189 lbs. My lowest was 154 but i gained a lot of weight back due to studying (i´m german so pls overread grammar mistakes
)
I´m going to start the "Insanity" Program at October and hope to lose 10 lbs or more in 2 months. With 154 i looked skinny but haven´t been very defined or sporty. Now my goal is to reach 150 lbs as final goal.
That was with 154 on Halloween 2010.

A 14 British sizing is a 10 in the US I think. My mom is from Cheshire, UK and I spent a good part of my childhood visiting her parents there. I haven't been there for about 10 years, but I feel the need to go back soon. I remember the last time I was there I needed a 16 (which is a 12 here).
For someone that is 5'11 and broad a size 10 (here) is awesome. My goal was to be a size 8, but I surprisingly surpassed that...I have a 37 inch inseam so finding pants small enough and long enough is no fun!
Right now my routine is eat what I want and be lazy...LOL but when I was losing I was walking 3-4 miles a day and doing light strength training 2-3 days a week and eating around 1500 calories (I found I couldn't lose on 1200). I reached goal (which was 157) in May and by July I was 145. I think my metabolism was set into overdrive which allows me some leeway now. But I know it won't last forever and if I expect to keep the weight off I need to start getting serious again!0 -
I'm 5'11 and I will NEVER be lighter than 165-160. This was the other day at around 178ish....

wow you look fantastic! I'm 5'11" and stuck at 187. Did you ever hit a plateau? If so at what weight and how did you get over that plateau? Right now I"m sick so I'm not pushing myself. I can barely breath i'm so congested. But once I feel better I want to step it up.0
-
Woah, you look great, you should be really proud of yourself! I just joined this site about a week ago. I am 5'9, so on the tall side. My starting weight is 173 (I already lost 11 lbs on my own before starting), I have lost one lb to 172. My goal is to get to 155. Wish me luck!0

Wow.. how could you be the same height and weight as me and look that good!? I really need to work on my stomach. Tell me how you got yours.. please.. lol x 0 -
First of all, congratulations! You look fabulous! I'm not as tall as you (wish I were), but don't get too hung up on the charts of what's supposed to be "normal." I have about 15 pounds to lose, but the charts say I should lose 20 - 35. When I was very young, I weighed in that range, but I was skinny, no muscle and very unfit. Now I do triathlons. My body shape is entirely different, and though people think I'm still losing weight, I'm not. My doctor is totally on board with my health habits, and is not pressing me to lose more weight. You might want to check with your doctor about what weight makes sense for you. It might not be what the charts tell you.0

God decided to give me thunder thighs. Genetics is the biggest decider of the stomach. I've had 2 babies (and gained 100lbs with the first) over 9lbs.
I would suggest building muscle as the numero uno thing. Either lift heavy or do a program like Insanity that uses body weight to work the core (not crunches and sit-ups). You'll get there. You've come a long way in a short time!0 -
im 5'11 and havent lost much so far but you give me a good idea what i may look like once ive lost more wight. Ive got my goal as 161lb, you look fab!!!0
-
Wow, you look great! I am 5' 11", at my heaviest I weighed 279, once a long time ago got down to 145, but couldn't maintain and you could see my rib bones. Hoping to get down to 160-170 - but have a long way to go. I do not have too many pictures, hate having my picture taken at my current weight(245).0
-
Hot damn, you look amazing. Don't lose any more! My fiance is 5'11" and I swear she looks way hotter at 175 than 165 (but it makes her happy to be a size 8, so who am I to judge?)0

*both hands up in the air* I've shrunk since having babies, but I still say I'm 5'11" You look freaking ridiculous! Amazing work, and I'm right behind ya (only a "few" years older). I weighed 155 when I got married the first time in 1993 and I thought I looked pretty gross and bony. Stick in the 160's with some muscle and I think you'll be much happier.
PS(So sorry for your loss earlier this year

I might try insanity! I've heard a lot about it on here! x0 -
Don't worry so much about what the scale says. If you look and feel attractive, feel fit & healthy, that's what matters. And from a man's perspective, keep some curves. I say it all the time, a woman without curves is like a pair of jeans with no pockets, I just don’t know where to put my hands
Great progress Dannii! So many great looking tall ladies! Keep up the great work y’all!0 -

I'm happy to lose a bit more, and then I'll be maintaining and toning mostly. I was always curvy, even when I was super slim. Thanks 0 -
I'm 5'11" and currently 218 pounds. I was in the 230's in my current profile picture. Guess I need to take a new one. Lol. Looking to get down to 175 and see how I feel there before deciding if I want to go lower or not.0

I am 5'11 and I am no where near goal yet, but I am so thrilled to see what goal looks like!!! Congrats to you all! You look amazing!0
-
I am 5'11" and currently 208. My goal is 150/160, we'll see when we get there. You look amazing! I'm so glad to meet other tall women! Please feel free to add me (that goes for all you tall ladies out there, Nice to see other women my height)0

I'm 5'10 and I look horrible if I get below 155-160. I just look sickly. I think it depends on how you feel when you get there! CONGRATULATIONS!0
