Calling all women who are 5'10 to share their story and hopefully some pictures!

I'm 5'11. 237#. I've lost 8# so far. I had some health issues with my dd after she was born and my weight went up when I relactated and taking a med that had weight gain as a side effect. Now that everything has gotten better, I'm taking my body back. No pictures on here yet.
Discovered hot yoga also, so I'm looking forward to really changing my lifestyle. I've never really had a good relationship with exercise. Nor have I seen 1st hand how a changing body responds to lifestlye.

Hey, Amazons!

I'm 5'10 and currently at 224, having lost 5lbs so far. I started my own business out of my home three years ago, which means my commute to work is from my bedroom to the other bedroom - and often the "second office" of the couch! - and am in constant range of a full fridge.

This is the first time I've ever tried calorie counting OR 3-4 a week cardio and so far I really like it. (I mean, as much as anyone who doesn't like running can like running. ) Trying to get more involved in the forum side of MFP!

I guess I'm not much of a "success story" yet, but bookmarking for inspiration!

Hi all, I'm also only 5' 9" inch too short lol! I have just started almost 2 weeks ago and down 14lbs! Started at 300, now 286, honestly I'm just hoping to lose 100lbs! But eventually I'd be happy at 170, pics will come one day when it actually looks like I've lost weight lol

Hi, 5'10", started MFP back in 2010 at heaviest weight of 220 (age 48.5), lost 75 pounds (60 pounds in 6 months, about 12 pounds in the next 6 months, then a few pounds over the last 3-4 years in general maintenance mode), got down to 145 at age....ummm....50 I guess. Found out that my 75-pound loss was probably quite a bit of fat, but also substantial muscle mass, because I mostly did cardio for exercise. So last fall, facing an upcoming winter where everything slows down and I don't get outside so much, I joined a gym and started weight-training with free weights and a personal trainer. Probably one of the best decisions I've ever made for my health.

This past winter, then, I purposefully "bulked" to add calories so muscles could build up as I lifted progressively heavier. Now I'm at 155 and entering my first "cut," where I go back in calorie deficit mode, maintain lifting (but probably not going to progress much this summer), pick up bike riding, and lose maybe 5-10 pounds of primarily fat. I suspect that by the end of this summer, inches will be dropped, fat dropped, and while I may weigh the same, or be even heavier than I was this past fall, I'll look quite a bit different--more lean and muscular (I hope!). Should be interesting!

I've always been overweight. This is the smallest I've been since I don't remember when. Easily middle school. But I was also shorter then… so proportionally, I may be even smaller than I was in middle school. I began the weight loss process almost exactly a year ago. (4/20/14) It's all been done through diet and exercise. No pills, no surgery. No shakes or supplements. No prescribed diet plan. Just moderation and portion control.

I'm 5'10" and current weight is 191 lbs. down from 195 lbs. I have not lost much weight, but about 2" off waist, chest, 0.5" off hips and thighs. I am currently strength training and doing some cardio 3-4 times a week. I am not in a rush to lose due to the fact that I want to be able to maintain for a long time (forever!) I do want to be around 155 lbs.

I am 5' 9.5" and have always hovered around 165-170. When I watch what I eat I get down to 160 but never below that without vigorous exercise and extreme dieting. I would like to be at 145. I have 18 pounds to go.
