Hey everyone! I am 5'11" and my CW is 220. I am hoping to get down to 150. Anyone else out there in this same height range? I love reading the success stories and all, but most of the pictures are from ladies that are much shorter than me. It would be nice to have some friends that have a similar build as I do :)
Anyone??

    Heh, I'm 5ft 9.... so I guess that isn't tall enough. I have similar stats to you. But I want to get back down to 120.

    Good Luck!

    Shoot, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that! 5'9" is still very tall and if we have similar stats then I'd love to be friends so we can motivate each other!!! :)

    I am 5'11", current weight 205, starting weight 279. I would like to get down to about 165. I hit my all time low (of my all time high) when I weighed the same amount as when I was 9mo pregnant but my daughter was over a year old.

    Since it's only the 2nd day of February, should we try a challenge for the month? Even something simple like measuring your food precisely, working out so many days a week, or something?

    I'm 5'9" and 179, I'd really like to get down to 150 or 155 :) Also working on getting pregnant, so I'd like to loose as much as I can before that.

    Hi, i'm 5ft 11 and had a starting weight of 217 pounds so have very similar stats to you. I'm currently at 214 pounds and have a goal weight (for now) of 180 pounds.
    I'm struggling at the moment because even on a normal day, without considering myself to be on a 'diet' I only eat about 1300 calories BUT I do a lot of exercise. I've been told that I actually don't eat enough as i'm burning off an extra 500 or so calories a day with exercise. Because of this apparently i'm in 'starvation mode' so my body has slowed down my metabolism in order to hang on to my 'fat stores'.
    I certainly don't starve myself...I actually eat A LOT but because I eat lots of healthy foods they tend not to be packed with fat/calories.

    So, I need to learn to eat more (strangely) and hopefully i'll start to lose the weight!

    It's great to have a little group of people with whom you can truly compare and share your stories with as we have similar stats.

    @honeyrabbt-- I went through the same thing as you. I thought that the less I ate, the quicker the weight would come off.. However, I just started eating more now, and consuming my "exercise calories" and now the weight is really starting to come off. I've lost 5 pounds in the last two weeks by increasing what I'm eating, and of course, switching to great veggies and fruits :) Good luck!!

    @heb14...thanks for sharing that with me. It makes me feel a little better knowing that it's not just me this has happened to.

    My goal daily calories without exercise is 1330, then I do about 400 calories worth of execise a day which increases my suggested intake to around 1730. This last week i've started to eat back around half of my exercise calories and have consequently PUT ON 2 pounds!!!! I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do for the best.
    Do you mind if I add you to my friends? I think it would help me stay motivated if my friends have similar stats or starting weights to myself.

    hey i'm 5'10(and a bit)....

    I find that people think i weigh less than i do becasue i have a big frame and and am tall so carry wiegh well.... but I find people making out i dont need to lose any more weight (im 13lbs away from my goal, but my goal is 168 - the very top of the normal bmi range) becasue they see the definition of my colarbone and automatically think ive lost too much....but im still over weight....thats just a big colarbone!!!

    Oh my God.. there are actually other tall women out there? I thought I was alone! haha

    I'm 5'10" and started at 175 and weighed in this morning at 170 lbs.

    During summer 2009, I actually weighed about 190, but lost 20 lbs for my wedding this past October. Now I'm hoping to lose even more! I'm hoping to get down to about 150lbs. My lowest weight was back in college in 2007 and I was about 155!

    I hear all the time that I don't need to lose weight.... And when I tell my friends that I weight 170ish they are usually really shocked! My mom is convinced it's because I'm part Polish and supposedly Polish women have heavy bones?? Not sure how true that one is..

    Congrats on the wight loss! That is really impressive and you should be really proud of yourself!

    I'm 5'9" or 5'10" haha I havent checked in a long time but I think I was 5'10" at my last physical :)
    I started at 176 and am currently fluxuating between 167 and 168. My goal for now is 150-155, but Ive been as low at 138 and that would be amaaaazing to see again. Really though, I was skinny-fat back then, so I dont mind if the scale number is higher as long as Im defined and healthy instead of skinny and still jiggly. :)

    I'm 5'10" and I guesstimated my starting weight at around 210. For now I am avoiding scales but taking my measurements every couple of weeks, but I will have access to a scale in April so I'll see then. My goal weight is 170-180 something, but I'm a lot more interested in feeling and looking good so that's quite flexible. :)

    It's great to "meet" some fellow tall women! I'm 5'10 and just joined, and have 35 pounds to go.

    I too have a large frame, but even so these extra pounds are not "hiding" at all!

    Great topic, thanks for starting this!

    Feel free to send me a friend request, too. :)

    Hi. I'm 5'11". My highest weight was 324 lbs. I haven't seen 180 since before I was preggo so thats my goal. The last time I weighed in was Jan 29th and I was 227. I'm not weighing in again until March 1st. I set my for mid July, but If I don't make it I'm not going to sweat it. I'm more focus on living a healthier life. The weight will come off as long as I'm eating correctly.

    Anyone can add me if they like.
