in Health and Weight Loss
I'm always inspired to talk to tall ladies like myself. Reason being as a lot of my friends, are either 5 ft 4 or 5 ft 5 and being tall we have completely different statistics.

I just wanted to know the below really:-

1) How much do you weigh at the moment?
2) How much would you like to weigh?
3) How many times a week do you workout?
4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk?
5) What your fitness goals are?

I currently weigh just under 11 stone now or 70kg. I ideally would like to lose a few lbs of fat and keep as much muscle mass as possible. I work out a min of 4 times a week doing cardio and incorporating free weights. I have been a lot skinnier before but with hardly any muscle.

Feel free to add me on instagram if you have it: kingystac2014

I have uploaded my before & after pictures on here so you can see :smile:

Thanks girls!

Have a nice day

xx

    Hey! I'm 5'8" Is that close enough? Lol.

    1. Currently 195
    2. Would like to get down to 160
    3. 3 times a week, but I also walk everywhere and have a fairly active job (I hit 15k steps just at work!)
    4. Eating about 1900-2000 calories a day to lose.
    5. My fitness goals are to squat my bodyweight, bench at least 100lbs, and deadlift a small mountain. I also train muay thai and BJJ and trying to get stronger/faster/more explosive for competitions.

    I'm 5'8 so an inch too short

    1) How much do you weigh at the moment?

    159.8lb (11 stone 5.8 lbs)

    2) How much would you like to weigh?

    I'm at my goal weight range, I input 160lb (originally goal was 165 but I kept dropping trying to find mainteance) ... Goal weight range is 157lb - 163lb

    3) How many times a week do you workout?

    3 times at the gym (20 mins cardio plus heavy weights and calisthenics), plus try to walk 8-10K steps (4-5 miles across day) on non gym days

    4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk?

    I'm eating around 2100 -2200 on maintenance but may have to increase as still slowly dropping

    5) What your fitness goals are?

    I don't even think of 5'9" as tall. I'm 6'1" personally, though topped out at 6'2.5". Every once in a blue moon I meet a woman that beats me who is also heavy, but not often haha

    Hey! I'm a 5'9 lady :) sometimes 5'9.5 depending on height measurement accuracy ;)

    To answer your questions:

    1) How much do you weigh at the moment?

    I'm currently 202lbs, which I think is about 14st 6lb when converted back. People say "you look fine for your height", but I don't feel it myself, so what do they know?!

    2) How much would you like to weigh?

    Initially, I'd like to get to 12st, which I think is about 175lb off the top of my head. I'd then like to keep going from there, down to a healthier BMI as I believe for my height/age 175lb is the top of the 'normal' BMI scale.

    3) How many times a week do you workout?

    It's not an 'official' workout as such, but I cycle to work every day, Monday - Friday. It's a 9.5 mile round trip and I'm a pretty quick rider - around 12-14mph average if it's not crazy windy! I am also part of a roller derby team as a new member, so I currently do about 2-3 hours a week practice/fun skating with them.

    4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk?

    To lose, MFP has set me up on 1200 cals. I have pretty much managed to stick to this so far, though i've been honest and tracked EVERYTHING - even when I've had a disaster and gone way over.

    5) What your fitness goals are?

    To be fast and strong enough to be part of my roller derby's league team! Getting to the 'B' team would be amazing within a year, getting to play as a league player would be absolutely immense!

    Hi! I am 5'9". Wearing my big heels today... I like being tall!

    1) How much do you weigh at the moment? I was 256.6 this morning (*down from about 262-ish)

    2) How much would you like to weigh? Anything below 200lbs. would be great. I am thinking maybe 180. I want to have a more athletic physique.

    3) How many times a week do you workout? 5 days a week - twice on Thursday. I might up it to 6 days. I am running 4 times a week and strength training twice. I would like to get strength training up to 3 times a week. And I would like to throw in the occasional spin class, but there are only so many hours in the day.

    4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk? I am currently losing at 2,000/day (TDEE - not eating back exercise calories). As this becomes "easier" I may try to cut back a little more. We will see. I want this to be sustainable.

    5) What your fitness goals are? 1.) to be bad@ss, 2.) to be able to do one full pull up, 3.) to be able to do one full push up, and 4.) get back to running 8 miles "comfortably" (with walk breaks)

    Hi! Well, I always thought I was 5'9", but the Health Clinic at work says 5'8" :|

    1) Weighed in for my challenge with my gf's this morning: 150.8lbs (10.8 stone; 68.5kg)

    2) My first goal is 145 by my birthday (May 6) - Ultimately, I'm shooting for 140 (10 stone, 63.6kg), though that may be too low.

    3) I aim to workout 3 days a week, but lately it's been once or twice. Getting better though (tonight will be 3 times this week), and dancing at a wedding Saturday will sure help!

    4) I have my goal set at 1200, but I'm often over by several hundred (and don't always eat back exercise cals). I like the buffer, as my TDEE-20% is 1500 (averaged sedentary with 3Xwk exercise), I also intermittently fast, so some days I only consume between 500-600 (only once a week so far. See 5:2 program) I just make up all my own rules haha

    5) Going to start heavy lifting with my friends who are crossfit fiends. I want to decrease my bodyfat% (I don't have an accurate reading on what it is, but I know I'm pretty much skinny-fat right now). Want a strong body, and a pert caboose. So far, the only place I really notice my loss is in my boobs :| But I can go braless now... so that's cool

    My main goal is to be healthy, fit and glowing, while still enjoying cheeseburgers, bacon and beer.

    1) How much do you weigh at the moment? 194
    2) How much would you like to weigh? 140-150
    3) How many times a week do you workout? It varies from 0-4 times a week, depending on what I have going on. I'm working on getting into a routine, though.
    4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk? 1400 calorie goal, but...I don't frequently stay at or under that. I typically get closer to 1600-1900...Again, I'm working to get a better diet routine.
    5) What your fitness goals are? To be able to go at least 30 minutes on the elliptical (preferably more). Be able to do 20 actual push ups (not the knee push ups I'm currently doing). To be able to do lots of squats. These goals will change once I reach them, of course.

    I just wanted to know the below really:-

    1) How much do you weigh at the moment?

    I don't weigh myself, but my most recent trip to the doc for a physical came in at 165. I am 5'9" + but not quite 5'10".

    2) How much would you like to weigh? goal is around 150 give or take, depending on what I see in mirror and how clothes fit.


    3) How many times a week do you workout? Most days. I did a prep for a figure competition two years ago and have pretty much tried to stick to my workout plan (without the excessive cardio). I have been playing around with my nutrition and switching up how I work my body, but, overall, pretty similar in what I did for figure training.

    4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk? Currently at 1550 as I'm trying to get leaner - but my shoulders are always the first to lose bulk when I cut, so I actually don't follow my cals as closely as I should because, mostly, it isn't a priority for me to be at a certain weight. I go by how I look/feel and if I'm satisfied w/it.


    5) What your fitness goals are? I spent a lot of years doing gymnastics, so I started CrossFit thinking I'd really like it, but I don't like the timed aspect of things and I really don't like working out with others - I like being alone w/my headset on. I'd like to get a little leaner for an upcoming trip to the Keys, but if I get there I get there, if not, I'm ok with that as well. Would like to focus on bigger lifts mostly. Am limited somewhat due to a car accident (I was hit at 60 mph). That was years ago now and I've finally gotten to the point where I feel good again. I can thank lifting for that.

    An interesting fact is that at my current weight I consistently wear a size 10 in pants. If I drop 7-12 lbs, size 8s will be falling off of me and size 6 is just too small for me to be because I truly look gaunt then. I would love to have a smaller butt/thighs, but they fit my frame and I'm just nit-picking. My highest weight was 203 and I wore a 16 (that was after the accident and being much less active for a few yrs).

    3) How many times a week do you workout? - Five times. Four days lifting, one day cardio, but sometimes I do two days cardio if I want to do a nice long weekend run!

    4) Calories you are eating a day to maintain/lose/bulk? - Currently at 1707 calories while trying to lose the 17.2lbs I have left at 0.5lbs per week (TDEE method)

    5) What your fitness goals are? - 2015 goals:
    • Mostly to continue cutting body fat

Not to mention I want to not get out of breath in our 100• heat this summer playing with her.

    I want to ultimately set a better example for my baby to eat well and exercise. And to care enough about myself to do so.

    2) How much would you like to weigh? My current goal is 160. The thinnest I ever was was 145, but I was also a 19 year old college rower, so I'm trying to be a bit more realistic. :wink:

I will start maintenance when my body looks the way I want it to. But if I had to guess I am pretty close to maintenance now.

    I'm 5ft 9" and weigh just under 11 stone my ideal weight would be 9st but I'd rather have muscle tone and a bigger butt than worry about the exact lb, my biggest problem at the moment is love handles there horrible and you can't look good in anything :(

    On my rest days I eat 1200 kcal and on my workout days which I aim for 5 a week I eat between 1500-1600 kcal

    I do cycling, power walking and weights.
    I miss going to the gym but live to far away so I have to use what I have.

    I want to lose 10lbs by the middle of may and yesterday I started the 28 day squat challenge yo tone up my butt and hopefully make it a bit fuller.

    Right now I weigh 254, I would like to weigh around 165 at the very end, but right now Im just focusing on getting back under 200lbs. I work out 4 times a week on average, sometimes more, sometimes less. Im eating 1630, and losing pretty steadily. Fitness wise, Im wanting to build up my endurance and strengthen my muscles. I actually have a small frame, and this much extra weight is very hard on my legs. All the calf pain - I want it gone.
