I 5'8" and around 180ish. I am desperately trying to get back to the 150-160's. I know this may seem a bit on the heavy side for me - but I wear a size 4 comfortably when I am in the 160's. I like how I feel and look. :-)

I'm 5'10" and 153. My HW was 182 in '10 when I was serving a foreign mission and eating only Mexican and Tongan food and getting little to no exercise. My LW was 128 when I tried the hcg diet back in '07. I was 135-138 pre-pregnancy and only gained 18 pounds, which I lost within the first month post-partum. Then.... I started therapy for an eating disorder and put back on 15 pounds or so. So that sucks, but at least I'm taking charge! I just started the ketogenic diet, which doesn't feel like a diet at all, and I'm hoping to get back down to 135 by Chrismas. I am fairly active, I run or lift weights or take classes at they gym, plus I chase my 16-month-old all over th place. I'm not big or anything now, and I know I'm at a healthy weight, but I have always been most comfortable between 135-140.

I'm 5'10" and weigh 162lb. This is the heaviest I have been in a couple of years and I don't like it - so starting out on MFP today! I have been as light as 142lb before but found that difficult to maintain, I would say 147lb is my happy weight. My weight gain is definitely down to stress/ emotional eating and a loss of confidence from some setbacks at work whilst studying for a masters part time - so easy to eat mindlessly to keep the blood sugar up whilst studying!! Whatever the reason I'm getting rid of this weight but happy to go slow so it stays off.

I'm 5'10" and weigh 168 right now. I run 3x a week and lift 3x a week. I eat around 1300-1400 calories, my goal weight was 160, but I got there and still felt like I needed to lose more new goal is (150) most of my friends are 150 and around 5'6 so I'm hoping it distributes well. I'm jealous of you that at 160 you fit in a 4! Most of my weight is in my thighs and even down 20 pounds I'm still in a 12 at most stores a 10 at gap. I want to comfortably fit in a 6 everywhere

I am 5'8" and 152#.This is a pretty high weight for me as my normal is around 140 but I have been building a lot more muscle lately too. My jeans are always 27 or 28 around the waist but recently since gaining muscle in my thighs and glutes, I am forced to purchase 27's in a curvy fit.

I suffer from the same problem. Try adding cardio (at least 45 mins 3xs a week) It helps burn fat and lean you out.

HI, I am 5'9" and around 143#. I started using MFP in January weighing just under 150 and lost ~15-20 lbs eating at 1500 and doing mostly bodyweight interval training at home 4-6 days a week. In August I started lifting weights 3-4x per week and eating more cals (anywhere from 1700-2500 on average), still tracking but not caring if I went over. I was having some issues with binging that I am currently overcoming. I don't weight myself very often but when I did a couple weeks ago, it looks as though I've put the weight back on. I believe it is *mostly* muscle, and I feel stronger. I'd like to track body fat % more than weight. I'm feeling good right now, but feel like I could stand to lose a little bit. Goal weight, if I were to put a number on it, would be 130-135, but not sure if that's possible with wanting to gain muscle and strength, so I guess I'm working on body composition. I wanted to get some cardio in my routine so a few weeks ago I started kickboxing 3x/wk and I'm loving it. I'm trying to find my maintenance cals then try to cut them back a little, so I'm eating about 2000 right now to see how that goes.

I'm 5'9 and 150. Im happy with my weight and the size clothes I wear..just looking to lose a few inches around my hips and build muscle overall. I am doing PiYo right now and weightlifting.

Hi all!
I'm 5'9 and weigh 183. This is by far the largest I've ever been. I usually like to stay around 140-150. When I was 20 I was 119, and I have noooo clue how I was able to get that skinny. At 140 I feel super thin, but still have some curves.

Add me if you want a tall friend.

I'm 5'8" and current weight is 183. I have lost 14 lbs since 11/11/14 by consuming no more than 1450 calories per day. Everyday I drink a gallon of water or pretty close to it. I do 1 hour of cardio 5 days per week combined with 30 mins of strength training using light weights. I usually burn 800-900 calories on my 5 workout days but I never consume more than my allotted 1450 calories.

My goals weight is to return back to 142 or at least 145. On Nov. 11th, a little over a month ago, I weighed 197 lbs. Did I mention I'm a 45 year old single mom who works full time & also actively involved as a parent? Yeah, if I can do it, you can too. I thought my metabolism was done but the gallon of water has worked miracle; thank God!!! Drink water, monitor calories, & work out at least 3 to 4 times per week. You can do it!!! :-D

I'm 6'-0" and I weigh 200 pounds. This is the most I've weighed, unfortunately this is what I weighed on my wedding day as well. I used to be 160 (GOAL WEIGHT ) sophomore year of college. I felt great at that size, but my metabolism eventually caught up with me. At 200 pounds, it's hard to keep ignoring the weight gain. My biggest issue is in my thighs and butt. I mean it's hard enough to get pants long enough, now I have to get them to fit the booty. LOL

I used to have really huge legs. For the last 4 years, I've commuted to work by bicycle. The change happened so slowly, I didn't noticed it, but I actually get compliments on my legs now. No joke. I'm riding 5.5 miles each way, so about 55 miles a week at peak weather. 30-mins each way.

5'9 currently 155 lbs (Down from 165). My goal isn't so much weight loss as it is more geared towards body compositions. Initially my goal was 135, but I may bump it up to 140 or 145 as i'd like to keep my curves. I eat about 2000 calories a day without eating back exercise so netting about 1600-1700. I'm eating slightly under maintenance for a weight of 135 so I won't have to transition once I reach my goal. Tried the 1200 calorie a day thing and it didn't work for me.

I'm 5'9" with a goal of 145-150 (depending how I feel at 150). My highest weight was 183, and the lowest I've been as an adult is 130. I'm eating 1475 plus half of my exercise calories. I was in the mid-150s in the summer but am at 160 now... things kind of got away from me.

I'm working on cleaning up my diet (again) and working hard in my exercise routines. I'm have two weeks left of Insanity and then will do a 2nd round of Les Mills Combat. I might have to try some new things as well- my upper thighs will not budge even when the rest of my body is changing.

So many tall people O_O

5'8" and 150. I'm fine with this weight, which was my pre-pregnancy weight; just wanting to tone up again. I was really in shape with swimming and water aerobics. Then when I moved overseas to be where my husband was stationed at, I got pregnant but never lost that baby fat, including after kiddo #2.

Hi! I'm Emma and am 6'0'' and about 150 down from 158 which is the heaviest I've ever been...I know to be fit/athletic I should be at 140lbs but man, I find that last 10 or so to always be so difficult!!!
P.S. Please let me know where everyone finds pants/jeans (I have long legs hahaha)
I eat about 1200 cals/day and see small differences...I play a lot of sports but since our soccer season was over I've gained fat and lost muscle. My measurements are 32-29-40 but I really need to work on toning my large butt!!!

I believe in you all by the way! Tall girls stick together!!! The air is cleaner up here anyway haha (;
