Hi Ladies,

What are your weight loss goals? What is your goal weight? Do you have fitness goals? Just curious about the tall women or there. I am 5'11"

Please feel free to add me! I am looking for supportive friends! I have some great ones now!

My starting weight was about 275-280 lbs. My current weight is 234 lbs! My first weight loss goal is 190 lbs. Then, i will aim to land between 170 and 155 lbs. Hoping to get there via fitness goals more so than focusing on the number on the scale. What about you all?

    We're very similar. I'm also 5'11". I started at 275, and now weigh 241.8. My current goal is 200. Once I'm there I'll see how I feel. I've never weighed that little as an adult.

    I am 5'10, my aim is just to get back to 130, where I was a bit more comfortable, though I have also been comfortable at 140 before, because I was training very hard and very lean. Fitness wise, I just wish to maintain it, to continue to work hard and to keep my bodyfat down in the range I am now used to it being, which is 12-14%.

    I am 5'11. I weigh 170. Though I am trying to lose about 10-15 more pounds.. my biggest objective is to lose body fat and gain muscle. Honestly, I'm not sure my body could handle being under 160-150 pounds just because of my body type.

    I'm a little over 5'10 and my starting weight was 194lbs. I'm currently at 175 and I think I want to see if I can get down to ~155. I've never been that low in my adult life so I'm not sure its possible since I am quite muscular but honestly, as others have mentioned, it's more about how I look and feel than the scale.

    Hey there! I am 5'10" and my goal weight are 65 kg, so a little more than 143 lbs. Seeing as I am only 10 lbs away from that, and not quite happy with my body yet, I am thinking about setting a slightly lower goal. However, maybe adding a bit more muscle will do the trick, so we will see once I actually get there.
    And of course, numbers will only ever be numbers and 150 pounds on different people WILL look and feel different as well, so it's good to always keep that in mind!
    Fitness goal: Being able to do cartwheels again (and not look like a dumba** doing so)

    almost 5'11, 148 now, would like to see 145. I certainly don't look sick, I look like an athlete.

    I'm just under 5'11", SW was 325, CW 264 and my first big goal is 200 and then I'll go from there. Realistically I'm thinking around 180. I know that's still huge for some people but I think I'll be comfortable there. I have a really large frame (no I'm not making excuses for being fat :-p I wear a womens shoe size 13 and have a really wide rib cage and hips...oh and "man hands") so I think 180 will prob be comfortable for me. But we shall see, I'm not against getting lower than that. I agree with everyone who says to stop when you're happy...of course as long as you're healthy.

    So when I hit my full height at 16 I was about 170lbs and thinnish with slight muscle.
    My goal right now is to get back to about 180 but I'll be more focused on body fat percentages as I get closer.

    I'm 6', started at 307 and am currently 273.9.

    I'm 5'10". I started at 195 with a goal to lose 20 pounds. I'm now at 174 and thinking that I might go down to 165.

    As an adult, I have been as low as 150 and that was too hard to maintain for me. I think somewhere in the 160's is where I'll stop.

    I have two fitness goals: be able to do a "real" pull-up, and to run a 10K without any walking.

    I'm 1,82 m (half an inch short of 6') and currently at 73 kg (161 pounds). I'd like to get back down to 65 kg (143 pounds). I have a spare tyre around the middle that needs to go!

    I don't really care how close I get to my goal weight, the most important thing is to recognize myself in the mirror again.

    I'm 5'10" and I chose 150 as a goal because it puts me in the exact middle of the healthy BMI range. I have a long way to go, so I might adjust that number when I'm getting closer.

    Hi~

    I'm 5'11 and my starting weight was 215(ish). My current goal is 175, which would put me within 'healthy' BMI, and then see how I feel. My lowest adult weight was around 150 and I felt pretty good, so I may try for that at some point. :) I hope that helps!

    I'm 5'10''. Started at 203 and am currently 180. I think I'd like to be 165-170. No lower than 160 as it's just too difficult to maintain. I want to be healthy, be able to be active with my fam and look good in my wardrobe. I'd be happy to build some muscle, but I'm not putting any effort into making that happen at the moment.

    Hi there!

    Im 5'11 and I started at 260 and am now at about 175, aiming for 160 or lower. I currently wear a size 9 in juniors jeans (easier to find 37" inseams lol) and a small in tshirts and a small/medium in dresses.

    This coming summer I have a full season of Tough Mudder, doing at least 3 in 4 months. Possibly 4 in 6 months.

    SO my winter is filled with goals, the biggest hardest one being a pullup. But I also have a lot of goals for my weight training, I'd love to get into the 220's on my deadlift. Also rock climbing goals... and I want to do 3 more mountains before May when I have my first race. They are a good 8 hours and excellent for muscular AND cardio endurance.

    Not too concerned about my weight too much anymore, as everything else I am doing will lend itself to those pounds leaving and the right parts of me showing through :D

    I am 5'10" and CW 215. My first goal is to get below 205 (lowest I have been since having my daughters), then I want to break 200, then I want to get back to 183 (lowest I have been in my adult life) before I seek to add more goals.

    I'm 5'10", my SW was 209 and my CW is 165. Looking to lose 10-15 more depending on if my body will cooperate =] I would also like to tone up my and give myself a lot more muscle definition

    I'm 5'10" as well, my SW was 310 and my current weight is 298. My final goal is to be around 150, maybe a little more because I am doing lifting too so I do want some muscle tone. Right now I'm shooting for under 250 and I'm starting training for a 5k in May. :smile:

    I'm 5'10.5. Started at around 180lbs..currently 143lbs . I did get down to 138lbs and that's where I felt most comfortable so aiming for that again , but I do have a small frame (but big hips)

    5'11. SW: 215. CW: 165. GW: 149, unless I start a cut/bulk cycle. If I do that, I'd probably get down to 135 and then bulk back up to 149.
    Fitness-wise, I want to do a chin up and bench press 100 lbs. I've lost a lot of lean muscle because I hateee lifting but I've got to get back to it. I love cardio/sports/dance.

    1st goal is 199.9lbs (just wanna be under 200)
    2nd is 180lbs
    3rd: Undetermined

    When i started this i just wanted to lose weight so I could look pretty be able to wear designer clothes. Now that i've gotten into it my desires have changed. I dont just want to be thin enough to wear pretty things I want a more athletic build so whatever weight i land at to have the look im going for is where i will stay

    I'm 5'9". Starting weight was 210. My goal and current weight is 150. I'm currently on maintenance and focusing on fitness goals. I've taken up lifting and plan on building strength. After 3 months, I plan on re-evaluating at which time I may decide to do a cut/bulk cycle. I'm also focusing on flexibility, so I'm doing yoga and stretching routines at least 15 minutes a day (up to 60 minutes). I would take measurements and photos every month. They are such a better tracking tool (and more fun!) than the scale.
  • I'm 5'10
    First go-round I started at 230lbs and got down to 135lbs
    Then got pregnant
    Am now back here, started at 203lbs and am currently at 160lbs. My goal is 155lbs

    My goals are similar. My first goal is 225... I'm close! The next goal I'm going to set is 190. Hopefully I will be able to stick to it!

    I'm 5'9. I started at 243 lbs (this time). My long term goal is around 160.

    Two years ago I got down to 178 and was on track to get to goal. The I got pregnant and used it as an excuse to let it go. And boy did it go. Now I'm back here to get back where I was.

    Hi, I'm 5'10" and weigh 284 lbs (still can't believe it), and I consider my goal weight to be 180. Being tall helps hide a lot, but it doesn't change the facts. I was not overweight until my late 20s, and before that was happy with 175-180, although my lowest adult weight was 148 lbs and I was too thin. I am really looking forward to being tall and slim again, or tall and a bit curvy still, whichever FEELS best. :)

    Raysmyth great headline! I am 5'11 with an average weight of 220lbs. However since I just had a (13lb) baby I am currently 230lbs. I have started feeding my baby regular food and with the reduction in my breastfeeding schedule (nursing burns A LOT of calories) I am very concerned I will start packing on the lbs.

    My ultimate goal is to reach 170lbs and see from there. I weighed less in high school but am 33 yrs old now and would perfer to maintain a more shapely body.

    P.S. I tried to add you but my screen read error?

    A second important thing to note is not just height but maybe bone structure as well? Even though we fall into the same height category 140lb might look ideal for a smaller bone structure but underweight for a larger one. Just a thought :P

    I have a large structure with a goal of 170lbs. I start looking bone anything under 160lbs.
