5'8" Woman and Curious About Other 5'8" Women

Im 5 8.5 and trying to still lose pregnancy weight. My baby is 18 months old...

I'm trying to get to 145 but I would be happy with 155. Before babies my weight tended to fluctuate from 150- 155 and I wore a size 10. I have gotten down to 176 lbs and wearing a size 14. I started at 197 lbs. My highest weight ever. Each pregnancy I started with a little more weight and ended up at a higher weight than before. I have 3 kids.

I am 5'8" and I am at 195 right now, I would love to get down to my highschool weight which was 150-160. I am a size 14 right now but I was a size 12 in highschool so I am fine with that but so ready to get this weight off!

I was 199 now i am 165. I want to lose at least 10 pounds, and tone up!

I'm 5'8", 44 years old. I started at 152.5, currently 138.5, my initial goal is 135. I might lose five more pounds after I get to 135 though, I'll see. At 135 I won't be dramatically smaller than I am at 138.5, and I think I want to lose one more dress size, just for kicks. :drinker:

I am 5'8 and started at 199. I am down to 183 but would like to be 160ish.

I feel out of place posting on this thread - not because of my height as I am 5'7.75", but because most of the previous posters started out much less than where I am currently at. With that said,

SW: 338
CW: 280
GW: 165 - To be re-evaluated when I get closer.

Honestly, I haven't weighed less than 200 since I was in high school, which was way too long ago since I am 51 years young. LOL However, the lowest I have been in my adult life was 203 when I was in my late 20's and my most recent lowest weight was 235 approximately 6 years ago, but unfortunately being involved in an abusive relationship I gained 100 pounds in a year - totally outrageous. [Never a good idea to turn to food for comfort.] When I was at 235 I felt great even though I knew I had more to lose.

It has taken me nearly 2 years to drop approximately 60 pounds, which I find discouraging, but nevertheless, I know it is progress in the right direction. My biggest challenge is to firm/tone up, which has been difficult, especially since I had knee surgery 3 weeks ago.

At my highest weight of 338, I was wearing size 32 jean and 3X tops. Currently at 280 I am wearing size 26 jeans [which are getting lose] and 18/20 tops. I so want to get completely out of the plus sizes!!!

For exercise, I have mostly been walking - try to walk at least 3 miles per day some days I shot for 5 miles, but it is tiring as I do all of my walking at one time without stopping. I have been trying to locate some home DVD's I can manage, but haven't had much luck as I stink at squats and lunges with my knee issues.

So many of the success story posts are very motivating and inspirational, but many are from much younger people. It does get more difficult to lose with age. I'm open for any suggestions that will help me start losing consistently again as I was stuck at a plateau of 297 for 10 months and only in the last 3 months have managed to get down to 280. I now have a wonderful man in my life who is truly awesome.

I'm 5'9 with a goal weight of about 175 (That puts me in Jr's size 11/13 and medium tops)

I have an entire closet full of these clothes that I'm itching to get back into.

Right now I am 236. Please feel free to friend me!

If it helps any, I will be 54 in two weeks.

And just for the record, the 9 lbs to go on my ticker is my goal for December 31. I will reevaluate after that and set a new "short term" goal.

GW 123

I'm back to pre pregnancy weight now so pleased to have found this site so I could do things properly.
