Just wanted to ask because a lot of the other women on the site are on the shorter side. What has your highest/lowest weight been? What weight was easiest to maintain?

Hi. I have been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months, tho. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Height: 5' 9.75"
Age: 42
SW: 198
CW: 189 (100 days on MFP, an average of .63 a week loss with my calories set at 1 pound per week, and most of that came off during the first weeks)
GW: 150
Calories: 1470 (stay under the majority of the time)
Movement: 30 Shed 3-4x a week and one long walk/ski (2-3 miles) on the weekends. When we get more snow, I will skiing an additional 2x a week with a ski club.
Eating: I do eat carbs, sugar and some booze but I stay under on my calories. Like I said, I do not mind if this is slow -- it is more important that it is sustainable. But if I could blast off a little more weight with a temporary approach, I would be open to that too...0 -
At my lowest, I was about 150 pounds. At my highest, I was around 205. I'm 5'10.5".
At the moment, I'm aiming for about 165-170, though I'm okay with being higher if it's muscle.0 -
Hi!! i am 5.10 and have lost 11lbs so far....
im trying to get down to 11stone, about 4lbs to go. My calorie goal is 1400 a day i dont go below! Ive cut out bread and processed foods to try and help which has helped me go past my plateau
Hope this helps!! xx0 -
I'm 5'10"
HW was 245
Currently 194
My goal is 160, though I'm just going to see how I feel when I get there. I was content back when I was 150lbs, but I was also 16 years old so we will see.

Height: 5'11
Age: 33 (34 in 21 days...)
SW: 190 ( I think, may have been more, wasn't wild about getting on the machine back then)
CW: 149.4
GW:157 (but got down to 144)
1st day attempting to get back to 145, where I felt the most comfortable. Right now I'm a tight 4 jeans, 6 dress pants, S tops. Eating 1600 cal/day and working out 30 min. 3 times a week, right now, walking or elliptical (off days I do a variety of crunches, push ups and squats). When I was eating to maintain I attempted to keep it around 1850, but typically went over and as a result gained...I'd like my 4/6's to fit with a bit of give...
I pretty much eat healthy (45/30/25) with some beer/wine/sugar thrown in.0 -
I'm also 5'10" and my goal weight is 140-145lbs. My highest weight when I started here almost two years ago was 185lbs. I lost 35 last year but when the holiday season rolled around I slowly started losing control of it and ended up gaining 20 back as of this summer.
Now I'm back on track, down to 160-ish and determined not to let this season derail me

Hello!
Age: 25
Height: 5' 10.25''
SW: 211 (12 months before I started MFP. SW on here is 195)
CW: 190
GW: 160. I was 160 at the start of college, and this is the weight where I have looked the healthiest in the past.
Lowest weight: 150. This was my weight when I was in competitive swimming, and had practice for 3+ hours a day.
The easiest weight for me to maintain is about 180. I can usually maintain this while still eating out several times a week, drinking, and slacking a bit on exercise. Not that those are good lifestyle choices...
Feel free to add me. I just filled out my profile and am looking for people to help keep me honest!

A goal weight of 170, which is what the charts all say is a normal weight for a 5'10" gal such as myself seems so small. I was 190 when I graduated high school (15? years ago). I just can't see myself being that weight. So I'm setting a goal of 200 to see if I can make it. Then, if I think I can keep going, I will.
SW: 340
CW: 320
GW: 2000 -
My goal weight is between 150-155. That is what I was when I started college (before I had kids) and where I would like to be again. I haven't seen anything close to that in about 5 years. I will be happy if I can get under 175 for an extended period of time. I just started MFP and I am hoping this journey will be more successful than my other attempts. You can add me if you want, I am always looking for a little extra accountability.

5'11" and my goal weight is in the 150-155 range. I was 152 when I achieved my ideal body in 2009.
The weight is secondary though. I want to lose my blubber layer, shrink my stomach and butt, and get back to a size 6. I don't care what the scale says as long as I hit those goals.0 -
I'm 5'10 and currently 150.5. My highest weight was 172. I'm currently aiming for 145.0

I'm gonna chime in and say that, barring lots of muscle, a 5'11" woman looks FANTASTIC at 175.0

My highest has been 203 lbs and now I am 197.5, my goal is to get down to 187-189.0

Hi! I am 5'11. My highest weight was 187. I currently weigh 178....not quite sure. I have been slacking lately. I think I would be happy at 160. Not sure. Mainly want to lose my bell fat!0

I find the 160 range is easy for me to maintain, I am 160 in my picture. I have just finished 12 weeks of Michelle Bridges and I think I am touching around the 164 mark. I will be posting the shots this weekend
Personally I think we put far too much time focusing on a number - I would prefer to be ripped and lean then skinny and thin
Just me - takes a lot for tall ladies to make the muscles pop0 -
Hello..
I am 26 and 5'9. All my life I was no more than 130. In college I was the same height and in the 120 range.
HW: 177
CW: 173.5
GW: 135
I have a long journey ahead of me. Please send some tips or friend me for advice/tips on losing the weight and exercises to help my process.
thanks0 -
Hey there. I'm 21 and 5'11''. My highest weight was 307lbs, I'm down to 276lbs. My goal is 180lbs because that's what I was in hs and I looked great. I was a size 14 then.0

I'm 5'11
SW - 204.8
CW - 204.2
GW - 175
Before I was married I went on a silly "fad" diet program, I dropped almost 70 pounds (my HW ever was about 230 (non-pregnant)) and was at 167. It was an impossible weight for me to maintain personally, and some people did tell me that I looked a bit ill.
After my daughter was born, I did the WW plan and got down to about 170/175 and I really loved how I felt, and how I looked. SO, my goal is to get back there again, and concentrate on becoming a bit more active and work on toning too.0 -

That's where I'm aiming to end up and I'm that height haha. I thought I looked good when I was in that range when I was younger.0 -
Thanks ladies!! This is all very helpful - many of you look amazing, and are very inspirational to me.

I'm 5'10. My lowest was 106 and my highest 152. My profile pic is at about 114-115. I'm currently 119.0

Well, I'm 65 and all my life I wa 5-10 until my last check-up. I had shrunk to 5-8... but that's what brought me to MFP. I'm usually in the low 150s and that's my goal. I was 173 when I started here and I've "released" 14 pounds since August. Good luck to you all AND don't forget the strength exercises or you could end up a shortie like me. LOL0

This post is awesome! It's nice to get some perspective and goal weight comparisons with other tall ladies.
Height: 5'10"
Currently: 179
Goal: 160
Highest: 187
I weighed 150-ish in high school, but I think that number would be hard to hit now that I'm in my twenties. I mean, I can drink wine now 0 -
I'm going to start by saying I love this thread! Most of my friends list are shorter, so it's good to see mostly similar goals
Age: 26
Height: 5'10"
CW: 178lb (81kg)
GW: 155lb (70kg)
I got down to about 70kg last year and thought that I looked pretty good! My body is pretty comfortable hovering around the 79-82kg mark, so it's time to push myself! TBH - I would love to get down to about 75 for now, and see how I go from there 0 -

Great thread, so I will add to it
Age: 44
Heigh: 5' 9.5"
SW: 80kgs (176 pounds)
CW 69 kgs (152 pounds)
GW 68kgs (150 pounds - nearly there!), although like others, concentrating now of strentghening, rather than losing
My heighest weight (non-pregnant) was 85 kgs (187 pounds) in my early '30s and was a result of giving up smoking at 30! Lost the weight with Weight Watchers, then had my son when I was 36, and my daughter when I was 40 - gained 21 kgs with each! But lost quickly after giving birth, thanks to ginormous kids, lots of fluid weight and breasfeeding.
My current weight is my lowest since before I fell pregnant with my son. Took 9 years, but I am finally there!0 -
