    Some of you girls want to be very slim!

    I'm 5'10" and currently 167. Want to get down to 160.

    For those who want to be/are about 145-150 - how easy do you find it to maintain that weight? I got down to 153 and it seemed impossible!

    I'm the same, when I got to 165 in the past, it always felt like my body refusing to shift any further, the only times I managed to get below was when I was either at the beginning or the end of a relationship and didn't feel like eating at all!
    This time, I am determined to get to 155 and stay there, I think it is possible to maintain by just doing what I am doing now, which is watch and log what I eat and stay within my goal cals (which will obviously be higher for maintenance than they are now). It must be possible! I will make it possible! :-)

    There are groups: Totally Tall Women of MFP and Tall Women. check 'em out.


    I'm 5'11- started out at 220, joined MFP around 215, and am now hovering at 170. Ideally I would love to lose another 10 pounds, but have been plateaued around 170 for four months. I'm pretty content where I am now, though.

    @beautmel - I started heavy lifting, which is when I started my plateau. I have lost inches, but not pounds. Pretty good trade-off, actually

    That's brilliant lik! What programme are you following and with what weights did you start etc?

    I'm always keen for some help/info.

    I'm 34, 5'11 and 147lbs and at goal weight. I'm not the fittest, not the most athletic, but I feel and look the way I want to look for life.

    I'm 5'10 and about 150 lbs, aiming to be cut and 135 lbs for summer (my natural body type is lean, but with poor eating habits I have defnitely fluctuated over the years).

    One thing I've learned being on the tall end of the spectrum, is that everyone carries weight differently, and that you should set a goal unique to yourself - there is no magic weight you should be at a certain height.

    Comparison is the thief of joy, so set your personal goals and strive to fulfill them! Nothing compares to the confidence you gain by setting a challenging goal and then reaching it. xo

    I am 5'10" and starting here at 320, I have a long way to go and could use the support and motivation! I'm hoping that using this tool, along with some help from my friends, will keep me motivated!
