welcome! i am 5'11 and my goal weight is like 185-190 :O)

Welcome!
5'11" here! I think tall women do have different challenges. When you tell someone who is 5'3" that you weigh 170 lbs (or whatever healthy weight is for you), they look at you like you are crazy!
I started at about 187 and as of last week was 166. My goal is 160, although I'm more concerned with body fat than weight.

One thing that is unique to us is sizing. I'm currently a size 12, which to a shorter person, is pretty big. I'm most comfortable in a 10, but anything below that is too thin for my frame (I'm a lanky tall, all limbs!). The thing is, for me to go down a size, I have to lose a LOT of weight. I've lost about 20 lbs since I started this journey and have only gone down one size, where as a shorter friend who is in the same boat is 2.5 sizes smaller.

I would love to add you! I am 5'11" and my goal weight is 175. It is so wonderful that we have a group like this! Hope you reach each goal you set and have a wonderful time doing it!

This is an EXCELLENT point about sizing and how we all have different body types/shapes. You're currently a size 12 at 166, and I can wear 12s at about 195-205 ... crazy!

Isn't it funny how we are all so different? When I was 195, I wore a size 10/11 so I know what you mean. We all carry our weight very differently and even gain and lose muscle differently. I currently weigh 319 and I wear a 22/24, at the heaviest I have ever been. Working hard to get to my healthy weight. Good luck as you more forward.

Dang! When I've been up around 200, I was in a 16. Maybe you all just have more muscle than I do, hence weighing more but being smaller. I know I have a high % of body fat and have even been told I'm "skinny fat." I don't weigh a lot in comparison to women my height, but I'm carrying a lot of blubber. I have really wide hips as well, compared to the rest of my frame. It'll be interesting to see how much smaller I get as a build muscle-- something I've never really been able to do.

I was needing to go buy 16's at 190. We are all build different even if we are all tall ladies...

I know of people who weigh less than me that are having trouble fitting into 8's, as where now I have 4 Tall jeans from Old Navy that fit. Right now I'm 153 and trying to lose 5 of what I've gained over winter. Oh, and I'm 5'11, 34 years old.

Tall women.............You can add me : )

That's how i feel...I just want to hit the 199 mark! Once I hit that I will feel invisible!!!
