I'm always searching for people who are my height and weight because I wanna see what they looked like after they lost the weight... lol basically I wanna see before and after pics so I can see how much I'm going to change in the future.

It's a longshot, but there are a lot of people on here... so I'll give it a go.

Is there a girl 5'9" who used to be around 240 who lost weight? (all the before and after that i've seen of people that weight.. they're all much shorter)

xo

    I am 5'9"
    My heaviest I was at was 210, I now weigh 173lbs. (still trying to lose to reach my goal of 160 or less)
    I regret not having before and after pictures, but there is a difference :) (yay!)
    Good luck with your weight loss!

    I'm just about 5'9 and I started out at 200lbs and got down to 158lbs....it's definitely a big change! I went from a size 16 to a size 8!! No more double chin! And my tummy flattened out. I didn't lose any bust a little butt and there will always be things I don't like but for the most part I'm so happy to be in a single size again. It just takes commitment and determination and this website is awesome :)

    Alexandra! I posted some pics on my profile....I'm in the green shirt at 200lbs at my Bday in November....I just went on a cruise two weeks ago and fit into "a little black dress" The other pics are current of me now. Hope that helps! I'll be deleting the "fat" photo soon! :)

    Maybe we should form a group or something! I am also 5'9 and started at 200. I am now 197 and have a long way to go. I wasn't sure what I should weigh, I was kind of thinking 160, glad to see I am in the right ballpark. This site is wonderful and has already helped me tons. Way to go Tall Beautiful Future Super Models!!!! WE ROCK!!!!

    hahaha yes we do! Right now my goal weight is to get down to 220.. ultimately I want to get down to 200. When I get there, I will see how I feel but I feel like I would look strange if I was really thing. I feel like I'm supposed to be... sofy. lol

    I'm very close, I started at 237, and I am (today) at 169. I don't consider myself "done", but I am across the line of "healthy"

    Please feel free to check out my pics in my profile, the purple shirt and green shirt are both before.

    oh and as far as dress size, I'm in a 10, and in a medium shirt.

    Stick to it, you can do this!!!
