ANYBODY A HEIGHT 5'8 AND ABOVE!!!

Aw, I feel too short for this one. Lol...but okay, 5'7'' and currently 166 lbs. For me to be in the normal range, according to the BMI chart, I need to get to 159 lbs. I want that. My ultimate goal is 160 lbs and I feel once I get there I can start to really focus on the toning and maintaining and if my body wants to keep going with the weight loss, then that will be an added plus! I want to feel good and healthy.

Is it me or is it just different for us taller ladies.....I see a lot of great transformations with the shorter peeps on here with lower weight loss numbers...especially in the waist. Also, a comment that talked about being at a weight that was too low and too hard to maintain for her frame and height...a friend had the same issue and had to gain some weight back to get to a healthy feeling because they had loss too much weight and felt awful at their lowest.

I was watching the Doctors and they were talking about this for a bit. Either way, whatever height...most importantly is to get healthy and feel good!

6ft 1 inch (maybe a .5 in there, depending on who's measuring :P). CW 210, GW 180. Current pants size US 16, goal pants size 12 or 10 if it's healthy for my height (don't know if it is, I've never been skinny before... :laugh: ). Let's us tall people all try our best!

It is so odd to read heights and weights. I am so different. I am pretty muscular so my sizing is different. I am 5'8" 258 and a size 18. At about 240 I am in a 16. I want to get back down to a size 10/12 that is where I look healthiest.

I'm 5' 10" and currently weigh 213. I just got into a size 14 (yeah!) but I would love to be in a size 10...over the moon if I could get into a size 8. My goal weight is between 150-160.

I'm 5'9 and 254. The smallest I remember being was in high school at 170-180. I'm aiming to get down to 150-160. But i'll "play it by ear" once I hit 180. looking back at my 180 pics I looked pretty good, though I remember feeling like I was so fat! I carry weight in my butt, and boobs! my sister used to hate me she was so jealous! LOL

oh BTW im a size 18/20

5'8 and fluctuating between 107-110. Yes, I know I am underweight and no, I'm not trying to lose anymore weight.

My goal right now is to gain some muscle. I don't know my actual 1,2,3 size but my measurements are about 32/33 bust, 24.5 waist, 33 hip. I usually end up buying 25-26 pants pants though......womens sizes make no sense to me. I can't even remember the last time I bought a size like 1,2,3 or 2,4,6 ....The ones I buy are measured by waist and length. Where does everyone shop?

Good luck to you all! Yay tall gals!!

I'm 5'10 1/4 and weigh 153#. I wear a size 10 jeans. My goal is 140# (and 20% body fat).

I'm 5'8, heaviest was 202 - currently at 189.5. I wear stretchy jeans sz 12. I am guessing I would need a 14 or 16 regular jeans. When I was 16, I was 140-145. I was pretty slim then (although I still saw myself as huge...). After having gained some weight (and having a child), I went down to 165 two years ago and I felt pretty good. I wore size 6 mostly. I think I will be very comfortable at 150-155, but my goal is to go back to 145 and maybe fit into a size 4...

I am 5'8" and wear a loose 16. I weigh 189. My goal is to lose about 30 more pounds. I love my curves but need to tone up a lot. I want to be in a 12 comfortably.

I am reading all these posts and am in disbelief.

I am 5'10...as I said. I am 145 lbs and a size 9 pants! Everyone here is like "I am size 6...size 8" etc. and they are heavier than me and save height or shorter. I totally don't get it. Tres sad.

I'm 5'8" and 264..heavist 300, want to be 180-200lbs atm wear a size 18/20 would love to be a 14/16 again.

5'11" and 252 pounds. I wear a size 18.

My goal weight is 170. I have a heavy frame and play a lot of sports though, so I have a lot of muscle on me. I would look emaciated if I weighed much less than that. I just need to get rid of the fat!

I am the same way.... I know at 180 I felt fat, but thats because all the girls on the softball team were stick thin and not built like me. Thats my goal, I feel I would look too thin at anything below 170.

Hi
I'm 5ft 11.5". I am currently 191lbs and a U.K size 14 - 16. I would like to be 187lbs which would mean I had maintained my original weight loss of 4 stone (56lbs). This took me about 4 years to get off but I have struggled in the last year to maintain. Now I'm using this site to track what I eat and what exercise I do I have already started to see results. 4lb in one week last week!
I am happy to be this dress size but would like to get back to 187lbs - 4 more to go but the closer you get the harder it is!
Good luck to all you tall girls out there - stand tall and be proud!!

I agree. I was shocked when I read that post. I'm so happy that something was said. We are here to get healthy and I agree that being underweight is un-healthy.

i am 6'1! i weight 179.5lbs and i would like to get down to 140, at least. i wear a size 13/25 in jeans- depending on the brand.
