Tall Ladies 5'10 and up please

I'm 6' tall and was 400 at my heaviest. I'm currently sitting at ~350. I had been down to 335, but gained back some @_@ I honestly don't know what my goal weight is because I have so much to lose. I'm not really aiming for a particular number though. More aiming on being able to shop for clothes easier, feel better, look better, etc.

I've been setting small number weight goals though, going by 10% of my body weight. So right now, my goal is to lose 35 pounds. Then the goal will be to lose another 31 pounds. Then another 28. Going from there. It's easier and less intimidating than looking at a weight loss goal of 150 pounds or so =P

I need to share the photo of me at my heaviest. I was so round! This was 2010. I was visiting my sister in Yosemite National Park.



I was... the roliest of polies. Bakeries of rolls! All of the pictures on my profile are of me currently, taken within the last couple months. What a difference 50 pounds makes, man =P

5'10," maybe a bit taller. My start weight was 300, my current weight is 216 and my lowest weight was 208. I felt pretty great at 208. If I ever get to 200, I think that it will feel very skinny.

I have an unusual build though and tend to carry all of my weight in the belly due to medical issues. I weighed 220 in the before-and-after on my profile, and even at that weight, I am not really sloppy fat.

I currently wear size 10 jeans and a regular TL top in Gap/Banana/Old Navy sizes.

Amazing how different we all are!

6' here. I've been struggling to find a goal weight myself. I'm going to keep trying to lose weight until I can run without anything flopping as I go lol

5 ' 11. Heaviest was 230lbs. Dropped 60lbs and then yo-yo'd a few time up and back 20lbs. Sitting at 170 now. Working on toning more than lb loss..

I'm 5'10" and got sick of not fitting in my favorite clothes when I reached 185lbs. When younger, I was always 135lbs no matter what I ate (too skinny); however, age has a way of changing things. Over the past 3-4 months of faithful logging with MFP I've dropped 20lbs. My goal (what my doctor would be happy with) is 155lbs, but I'd settle for 160lbs. Really, it's not about the pounds number so much as your overall shape, size and health. Look in the mirror with honest eyes, and see what weight looks good on you. Then buy some clothes that make you look awesome at whatever size you settle on. Good luck!

It takes time! Keep that in mind!

These are two photos from when I was 135-140lbs. My lowest weight. I was still not happy with my body then. Mainly because I felt fat but really just needed to tone up. I gained 20lbs before getting pregnant and then gained 50lbs during pregnancy. I'm now 150lbs and still want to get down to the 135-140 range but with less body fat. I'm 5'10.5".

I'm 6ft current 230 ultimate goal 175/180
I feel comfortable @200 I was usually 200 to 215 past few years now it has spiked up. @ 175 years...me & 230
This
Me at 200 to 205
Me at 175

I am just over 5 ft 11. I am currently at 187 (gasp). I was at 157 in 2011 and looked sickly. I tried to put on 10 to 15 pounds and put on nearly 30. Sigh. Always a mess!

My goal is 165 to 170. I'm just starting today to try to really focus on calories in vs calories out and monitoring only my carbs, fat and protein to stay in a range given to me by a friend that had a different program they use.

My goal is to get fit....not just lose weight. So it's baby steps to working out again.

I'm 5'10" and I'm looking to get down to 170. I was the heaviest I've ever been at 220, after I had my second child. I started MFP at 215 and am now down 15lbs. After my first child, I got down to 190 and felt pretty good at that weight. However, it would be nice to be down to what I was when I got married 7 years ago. I was looking pretty smoking hot before and during my wedding.

My big brother is getting married on November 7th, so I'm shooting for 30 pounds in the next 10 months. I feel like that is a very realistic goal. I don't want to be his chubby sister in all those wedding photos!

I'm 5'10". My starting weight was 282. I'm currently at 235. My doctor recommended 200 as my ideal weight. Currently I'm a 12/L in casual wear, and anticipate getting down to an 8/Loose L or M by goal.

Once I get to my current goal, I'll reevaluate. However, I'm hoping to have kids within the next 1-2 years, so I realize that I will revisit at least some of the numbers I'm dropping again at some point.

I'm 5'10 and all my doctors have said my goal should be in the 150s. I personally feel that 200 is were I would like to be or 180. What was your calorie goal when u were in the 280s? I'm 290 and doing 1670 with an hour of Cardio but I feel my calories should be less. I also eat almost only vegetarian and most of my meals are raw veggie smoothies

I am 5'10.5" and my current weight is 160. I think 150 is where I would like to be. More than the scale, like others, I would like to be toned and fit. I am working for summer!

Sorry to chime in but my wife is 5'10. She was up to almost 290lbs and is now down to 177lbs. I think she looks absolutely stunning but her goal is 165lbs. I really think on you ladies it depends on your body type and by your very nature of being taller than the average woman you can carry more weight and still look great. My wife says she feels good at this weight but still wants to drop another 10-15 lbs cause she has a little tummy pooch she wants to get rid of and some extra in the butt (that I love, and *secret* most guys love).

What really helped my wife was finally realizing, accepting, and loving the fact that she was tall. She spent her childhood berating herself for being big(ger). She did not embrace being taller and missed out on really honing her athletic body. I think that is her biggest regret was not participating in more activities of the sporting and athletic nature.

Anyway as a guy who loves his taller wife (been with her for 20 years) try to embrace your inherent athletic advantages. Move more and see how great it is to be tall and have that extra strength that you have.

Good luck!

I'm 5'10. Was always in the 130's through high school but had too much fun in college, CW is 173, GW is somewhere in the 140's. I started losing confidence once I hit 160.

I'm 5'10" and right now am hovering around 158 or so. I got down to 147 and was told i was getting "too thin" (i disagreed). My "happy weight" is around 155 because i think at that weight i can still fit into size 8s, but i don't have to kill myself to maintain.
