5'8-5'11 women before/after pics?

Bump for later!

Jen... you've already seen my before/after shot, but I'll share it again for others participating in this thread.

I'm just a hair under 5'9" and currently weigh 136 lbs. I suppose I have a mixed frame - my shoulders, pelvis and ribcage are all spacious and would lead you to believe that I have a large frame. But my ankles, elbows and wrists are all quite delicate/tiny and fit within the measurements of a small frame. So, who knows...

In the 'after' photo below, I weighed about nine more pounds than I do now.

You look amazing! Awesome job!! Oh and holy crap! Has anybody else told you that you look like Robin from How I Met Your Mother in your profile picture?! WOW!

This is such a fantastic thread!!! it's so great to see women my height looking fit and slim! I have always been told i look smaller than i really am because of my height (5'10.5), and luckily i carry my weight all over. But the last time i gained weight it went straight to my arms and belly, now its definitely noticeable and tipping the scales at 89Kgs (196pounds) is just plain unhealthy!

I'm so inspired by these stories and really feel that i can finally get my weight down!

Thanks so much for sharing! also if anyone is looking for friends to add for support feel free to add me

I too think i am built this way. I am 137.8 and still in 9/10 pants. I have the love handles and lower belly that i fight with though.

Anyone is more than welcome to check my before and progress pics

I'm just under 5'9"

Feel free to add me if you want as well! I log in and work out every day.

Also, I have long arms, long legs and long fingers. LOL and I wear a size 10 shoe. I don't know if that makes me a large frame but I've always believed that about myself. I now can fit in most "medium" sizes but they still don't fit because I'm too long. LOL!

I am the exact same... shoe size and all!

how many calories are you tall girls eating?

Or netting? Good question. I'm 5'8.5" and would love to know what other (success story) tall girls eat/net too.

I am 5'10" and want to lose 80 pounds. It sounds like such a huge number, but height really HIDES weight well. People look at you and just think "she is curvy." But it is there! Just spread out well! lol

Wow! Wow wow wow! Such an inspirational thread!

I'm only just starting out my weight loss story! I'm 5ft 8, and;

SW: 259lbs
CW: 240lbs
GW: 150lbs

Looking at some of these pictures and stories has really inspired me. I've kind of realised that there's many out there like myself, and if they've done it, why the hell couldn't I? I will defo post pics when in a few months, when I feel I've made a difference.

Thank you for the inspiration, ladies (and few gents)!

I have been trying to aim for around 1500 at the moment - just looked and my net varies quite a bit ( exercise days?) around the 800/900 looks average

I'm sorry, but you should look into eating more. Netting 800 or 900 isn't healthy and will lead to yo-yo dieting, as your body deconstructs your muscles to utilize the protein and leaves you with less lean mass, which leads to lower metabolism, gaining fat and less effective dieting the next time.

Don't get me wrong--I dieted that way for years because I literally thought it was the only way to lose weight. It made me skinny-fat and made keeping fat off impossible.



I was actually just curious how many calories people are eating who are not on very low calorie diets (vlcd), because I've BTDT and now that I'm not doing VLCD any longer, I'm curious what the range is for others my height. My calorie goal is currently set to 1670 as a daily minimum (my BMR is ~1550 and I won't eat below that), but I generally eat up around 2100 on exercise days with eating back my exercise calories, and average around ~1960ish.

Others?
