Hey!
I am 5'9" and have 19 lbs left to go0 -
I am also 5'11, and just joined MFP on April 7th. I am currently in the Biggest Loser Challenge - lost 3 lbs so far. Hoping to lose at least 45-50 yet to reach my ultimate goal weight of 165. Love to be friends.0

Added! Congrats on the weight loss... it's great to connect with other tall ladies, losing weight is definitely different for us
I'm 6' and have lost about 60 lbs and am at goal. I'm just curious, how is losing weight different for us? Seems pretty much the same as everyone else...0 -
Hi ladies! Feel free to add me too! I'm 5'10" with about 30-40 more to lose. I could use some motivation...my scale has been stuck for a month. I just can't get it going again!0

You guys have all done great. Would be great to get some friends on MFP for motivation. So far I'm working solo
I'm 5' 10" and I've lost about 4lbs so far but ideally have another 14-20lbs to go. Would appreciate any Friend Requests (but haven't yet worked out how to make a FR myself!)

I'm 5'10.5" too. I'm looking to lose about another 10 - 20 lbs (depending on if I can put some muscle on). Trying to get down around 165.
Feel free to add me as a friend!0 -

shezzzzz
I agree that it is different for us. All our numbers are different. My goal weight is my shorter friends obese weight, I had to reconcile within myself that I will never be 120lbs (I could be, but I wouldn't look or be healthy, plus it would be a full time job to stay there).
So true! I set myself up with a realistic goal weight of 170 - 180 LBS. Standing 5' 10" and 222lbs, I have 20+ LBS I still want to lose. I joined MFP in May of 2012 and lost over 50 LBS last spring/summer with the app. I have fallen off lately and I could use some support of woman my weight/height.0 -
Comparing myself to my shorty friends had me as an underweight athlete in HS. As an adult I worked 60-80 hours a week and gained tons of weight. Made terrible decisions and never made time for health or fitness. Fast forward to today; I'm 31, married full time SAHM to an almost 2.5 year old terrific little boy and making health a priority for my family. I'm 5'10 my SW was 300, CW is 189.5 and my goal weight is b/t 150-170 which will be based on my BF% and my clothing size. After years of being out of shape and overweight I'm not going to let the scale completely dictate my health or happiness. I already have a healthy BF% which has been like a miracle for me, it's my proudest achievement. So, depending how my body changes in the next few months with increased strength training I have anywhere from 20-40 pounds left to lose. I want to love my body regardless of the number on the scale. Thanks for posting this! It is different being tall! I'm also a runner working on improving speed and distance slowly but surely!
Would love any new friends: tall ladies, mommies, runners, weight lifters, etc. ????????????0 -
I'm 5'11, so glad to meet another tall lady. My goal is to lose 15 lbs. About 6 years ago, I lost aprox 55 lbs and have kept the bulk of it off. However, there is an annoying 10-12 lbs that has come and gone a few times since then. Unfortunately, I have not tracked my weight or caloric intake on a consistant basis (I just use my clothes as a guide). When I feel like I'm gaining weight, I'll work out harder. Exercise has been my main method of weight loss, but after a few "over use injuries" such as tendonitis, I'm unable to excercise as hard as I was. Hopefully, MFP will assist with my caloric intake to get me back to my goal weight.0

5'9" and 2 # down from the 20 I want to loose.(Mom of Three) we can carry our weight all over and hide it better being taller.
Remember it is how the clothes fit not the #...when working out we will be changing fat into muscle so we may not see the change i:drinker: :drinker: n the scale but we will in our clothes. STAY healthy ladies my fav saying is Be~YOU~tiful.0 -
5'7", but the more I lose, the taller I feel, lol :happy:0
-
Im 5'9 and have about 24 more lbs to loose. I'll send you a request and anyone else feel free to add me.0
-
i'm 5'10 too and i agree, comparing ourselves to our shorter friends does not make sense at all... we will always weigh more and that's good!
Dear all - please feel free to add me, i need some motivation and i am very good at motivating others. moreover, it's always good to be able to compare ourselves, as we are all tall!
btw: got 20 lbs to loose0 -
I'm 5'10" with ideally 28 more pounds to go (down over 87lbs currently)! Losing weight when you are tall is so much different, and I am always so hard on myself when someone loses 5 pounds and looks completely different, meanwhile I can gain and lose 5 pounds in a day!
Love this site, it works, and you meet great people who keep you inspired!0 -
