Hi all,
I'm sort of new to this site. I'd like to find friends with similar weight goals. This is my first major attempt at weight loss. I currently weigh 179lbs and would really like to go back to my pre-pregnancy weight (155lbs) if possible. I'd like to lose weight my watching my calories (carbs, protein, and fat) and through exercise.

    Hi, I am 5'11! I topped out at 202.5 pounds and am currently at 185. I"m almost 40, and not sure I'll be able to get back into the 150's, but I'd like to at least get close. :)

    Hey I am 5'11"!

    I was at my top weight of 175 when I started here, gained another pound the first week and finally posted a loss of 3 lbs! My goal is to try to get down to 145 or 150. I never had any kids so it was just me slowly gaining weight throughout my adult years. I always thought I was small bone for being tall but as I added weight I think I am now medium bone. Anyway, thanks for starting this post!

    Right here!!! I say I'm 5'10 but let's be realistic, I'm 5'11+. I am at goal weight, 130 and am doing a lifting program and have slowly been adding in my running again. I really missed it! Add me if you'd like.

    Hi! I'm 5'11". My starting weight was 247 and I'm now 201. My goal is to get down to 165. That's the lowest I've ever been before, but I wouldn't be against a little less than that if possible. :) Anyone on here can friend me.

    Hi! I am 5'11" 1/2..almost 6'. I am starting out at 320, the heaviest I have ever been. I have a thyroid condition and had to have half of it removed so those issue plague me sometimes. I am hoping to get back down to around 175, where I was in my 20's. I was very happy to be a size 6 and felt great about myself. Feel free to friend me, I love meeting new people and having new encouragement to receive and give! :)

    You can add me. I am 5 foot 11 and 178. My goal is 155 too. So we are like twins. Lol I really loved being 155 back in the day. I like to think it is possible to be 155 again!

    Hihi! I'm 5'11" and currently weigh 166 lbs. My highest weight was 199 lbs. It took me around 3 years to get down to 159 lbs :( but I learned a lot!

    I gained a bit back after the holidays this past season and am now back on MFP trying to get to my goal weight of 150lbs.

    Feel free to add me!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm just a little shy of 5'11". I currently weight 172 but feel my best at 165.

    I'm looking for tall friends, too, so add me if you'd like.

    Cheers!

    I'm 5'11" too and about 8 pounds from my goal weight of 150. I would love to STAY between 148-152 forever, but I've never been able to do it. Maybe this time! Always looking for more MFP friends, so anyone feel free to add me--I'm on here most days and would love to cheer you on!

    I'm 5'11" and currently 165lbs.

    My highest was 185: in 2009-2010 when my back problems were so bad that they prevented me from even sitting in one position for too long, and forget walking more than 60 seconds! I finally had back surgery in the summer of 2012- yeah!

    My lowest was 135: in the early 90's when I was in high school.

    I think I look the best around 152, but I need to have muscle definition too or else I just look like a stick. Feel free to add me as a friend if you're looking for more tall friends! =)

    Hi everyone, I am almost 6ft and would love tall friends.

    I began about 196lbs (89 kilos) and am now hovering around 178 lbs (81 kgs) - i recently got to 169 lbs (77kgs) and felt awesome, but it was a struggle staying there.

    But I want to get back there, and would love to get to 165lbs... - if only I could stop the (too often occurring) over indulging. I love my exercise, and my food!! P

    lease feel free to add me!

    I'm 5'11", just joined myfitnesspal today because it's time I get back in shape. I gained about 20 lbs in the last year. I was about 130 when I was running 6 days/week, a couple years ago, then 140 a year ago, now I'm 150 & have been creeping steadily up. I don't care what my weight is, but I just want to firm up and lose the jiggle on my legs and arms and sides.
