Any 5'7" ladies around here?

I need to take my before photos today, but I'm wondering how it is for the rest of y'all "too tall for regular, too short for tall" ladies out there?

Yes! 5'7'' and I like this height but have long legs so always have to go with the long sizes! Sometimes very hard to find!

I am 5'7" here are my pics to show progress:

This was my start pic at 250, my half way pic at 200.

This is me last weekend 95lbs down 5lbs from goal.

I can shop in any store now, choose styles I like instead of whatever fits, and am physically capable in a way that I can say yes to anything I am invited to now. Good luck on your journey.

Hi, I'm 5'7.5", and started on MFP in January 2012 at 211.5lb. I'm currently about 160lb, most of which I lost in the first eight months or so, and I've been a bit up and down ever since.....my goal is 147 (10 1/2 stone), but I'm also trying to focus on lowing my body fat % too. Finding it hard to be motivated at the moment, but really wanting to start losing again!

5'7" here too! Starting weight 200lbs... now at a whisker over 156lbs and finally have a healthy BMI (woooo hoooo!!!).

Am aiming for around 140 - 145lbs, but really aiming to feel better and feel fitter and I'm definitely almost there if the last bit is the measure!

firstloveyourself

I'm 5'6.5 (but I say I'm 5'7 damnit!) I've been wobbling between 235-245 for the past few months. I should take before pictures...maybe they'd inspire me :P

(feel free to add me btw!)

I'm 5"7'- currently 185. I know exactly what you're talking about. The worst pants for me are yoga pants and leggings- I look like I'm prepared for a flood at the gym!

ProudMotherof4ProudWife2007

i'm 5'7 at 161.. my highest a few yrs ago was 225 then my highest a few months ago was 169.. I want to get back to 141 what i was last summer

lafilleavectoi

Ha! Totally agree with the "not tall enough for tall and not short enough for regular." I'm also 5'7. Starting weight on MFP a year ago was 223lbs. I now weigh around 163-165lbs. Friends tell me I look "skinny" now but clothes work wonders! I'm currently focusing on losing body fat percentage via weight training because my problem now is loose skin. Feel free to add me.

5' 7" here. Current weight is 173 lbs. Started on here probably 10 lbs ago and have lost 20 lbs over the last 2 years (very slooowly). Highest weight EVER was pregnant with baby no. 2 at 254 lbs. Lowest weight was 135 lbs on wedding day (7 years ago). Goal weight is 150-155 lbs. I feel pretty good right now, everything looks decent, size 10s are loose, shrits are a M and I'm curvy so I will never be a stick but I want to get to 165 lbs and then have a mini celebration, and then head on down to 155 lbs. I'll be veeery happy then!

I am around 5 '7.5 . The .5 is important ? Lol. My current weight is 142 or 64.4 kg. I find that I have broadish shoulders and as my husband says, actual hips. No but though

My profile is a recent photo at my current weight. I have skinny wrists and ankles, so could go smaller, but I don't really want too go much skinner. I am supposed to be gaining back up to 65, but haven't had a good week lifting wise. I will see what happens . I just find when I get much smaller I look skinny, not healthy.

This site is wonderful!

agirlscamaro

I'm 5'8" but if i'm lazy, I measure 5'7". I started at 252 and am now at 190. My goal is around 135-140 but I started lifting so I think I might adjust that. I'm more so going until I get the body I want.

I've decided I need to just buy tall jeans and wear heels. It's the only way. My stupid "regular" pants shrink up just enough that they resemble high waters with most shoes.

5' 7" here. When I was in junior high I wore a size 5 long. Now im 27 and at my heaviest I was wearing a size 18 and 20 and they were to long. I don't know why they think if you are fat you are going to be taller. And on top of my fat jeans being to long I gain all my weight in my butt and thighs so the stomach area of my jeans were way to big but tight around my legs. Now I have lost 27 lbs (currently 173) and I'm wearing a size 14 which are ok length but I'm sure if I get to my goal of size 8 jeans I will be buying longs again.

ANY SUGGESTIONS OF BRANDS OF JEANS FOR BIG BUTTS???? Please help

leatrez

I'm 5'7" and 3/4 so I usually say I'm around 5'8". My starting weight is 182. My goal weight is 135. I buy all tall jeans and pants when I can. Regular look short when I wear heels.

I have a... middle big butt. Too big for your white bread brands (Wrangler, Levis, etc) but too small for Apple Bottoms. I really like Aeropostale jeans in the Curvy Hailey style, because I am a squat addict so I have muscular thighs and a booty. I also like ****ies Girl, but you usually have to order a size up from your usual size if you are buying online. Old Navy has a style called the Sweetheart that I also like as well.

I am 5'7". Started at 188.5 and am currently at 177. Would love to get to a healthy BMI at 159 and then see from there. The lowest I've been as an adult was 166 about 10 years and 3 kids ago!

FunnyBunnyHunny

LOL I thought I was the only one with the pants issue. I'm 5'7" too and find that New York and Company pants are the perfect length on me.

Regulars come almost to my ankles usually...and longs drag the ground. GRRRR!! So frustrating.

sara_gets_fit

Right over here! 5'7", started out 175lbs, down to 164lbs...want to get to the 130's by the end; lose the fat and TONE IT UP!

glp724

I'm 5'7" and yeah, a lot of "regular" length pants are too short. Especially in yoga pants/loungewear. When I was trim, the best yoga pants I owned were from Victoria's Secret. They were the PERFECT length. That was loooong ago, but I still have them hoping I'll make it all the way back to medium.

My starting weight is 227 and I'm just at the start of my loss, but I'm already down a few and happy

zoeysasha37

I'm actually closer to 5"8.... I currently weigh 153..... I have trouble finding pants that fit me in length....if I do find some long enough, there always saggy and loose though..

sriley721

I am 5'7.5. When I was chunky, I had issues with regular jeans. I am down to 138 and now they are fine. My conclusion: my butt has shrunk dramatically and needs less jeans to pull over it! Kind of dumb but a coworker is having the same problem. She gained weight and now has high waters. Does that make sense?

Yes! It makes total sense. My jeans fit looser but not too big to wear but they are suddenly so long. I noticed I seem to loose the weight in my butt and shoulders first.
