    I'm 5'11" and started out at 223 pounds last spring. Then, I started working out again in August at 219 pounds. This morning, I weighed myself, and I am lighter than I have been since middle school---187 pounds! I'm really hoping to be at my goal weight (165) by this May.

    All I have been doing up until this point is running and tae bo as often as I can. I live a busy life, with work and school full-time, but I make time to work out as much as possible. I started out running in August and couldn't even run a quarter of a mile, but I can now run 6 miles in 57 minutes! My goal is to be able to run a half marathon by July.

    If you want to add me as a friend, feel free! :) Good luck, guys!

    Feel free to add me too, I'm 5' 11 and have lost 50lbs, currently maintaining at around 176. I'm happy under 180 but have 170 to aim for to give me some leeway and to tone up some more.
    My goal has always been be fit and healthy and strong, not a certain weight or size.. :) Pics on my profile!

    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 6' and currently maintaining at 152-155. Been there for over 6 months now and I'm finding my body is comfortable there I think. I've not worked out in over a month and have kinda been eating crap due to a new schedule and working overnight shifts now, yet I'm holding steady at this weight.

    I started out at 213 as my heaviest. I will post pics when I get to a computer.

    I'm 5.11, I've gone from 159 to 148 and I'm aiming for 133. I weighed less than my goal weight when I was 16-19 (im nearly 24 now) but never really had any muscle, so this time I want to tone up as well as slim down. I know muscle weighs more than fat so if I get to around 139 and I'm happy with how I look then I will stop there!

    Hi Tall ladies!!!

    I'm 5'9 and currently at 145. Was around 175 at my heaviest a few years back but through weight watchers I've managed to lose the weight and maintain my current weight for the last 3 years. Before the holidays I was at my lightest at 138 and i'm hoping to get back to this weight. I have, however just started with weight training and my hubby has forbid me to weigh myself! Apparently the scales might go up but I might still lose inches. He knows how hung up I am about the scales.

    I'm quite new to MFP so please feel free to add me. Any motivation we can give each other is great!

    :) x

    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.
