Any tall ladies out there 5'10 and up?!?!

ashleynye8914 · November 2015

Hello! I'm looking for inspiration and new friends that are tall like me and are either just starting their journey or have made progress. I love sharing progress photos and recipes and snacks. I'm 5'11.5 sometimes measured at 6ft depends on the Doctor lol. I am currently 196lb. I have a 4 month old daughter and even though my baby weight is gone I'm looking to get in a healthier weight range for my height. My goal is 170lb.

G'morning! I'm 5'10 and SW was 195....cw is 187....I've no actual number on the scale I'm looking to get to but would love to be back into a size 8 with a flat tummy....I'm in a size 12 now and can hold my breath and squeeze into a size 10 but fear I may pop a button and take out someone's eye if I breathe....LOL!!!

I'm going to guess and say somewhere in the 170's would prob get me where I need to be for a size 8.

ashleynye8914 · November 2015

It's been so long since I've been 170 I can't remember what size I was lol. I'm currently in a size 12/14 and I agree a size 8 would be wonderful. I have had success with MFP in the passed so I'm happy to be using it again. I'm not big On diets but I do like to have healthy habits and this app helps me keep my eating in check. I need to walk more than once a week lol the weather has been yucky. My plan is to find an indoor work out I like at home. And maybe do Zumba at the local dance studio once a week.

I'm the same height as you. I'm 235 ugh. I was 200 prior to baby (who is 10 weeks). My goal is to get back to 200 but ultimately 185 I feel great at. Good luck!

ashleynye8914 · November 2015

I was 200 when I got pregnant with my daughter and got up to 235! I feel ya!

MissTattoo · November 2015

ghostbuster242 · November 2015

Ps I did not look that good the day I gave birth!!!!

rainbow198 · November 2015

Hi ladies! I'm 5'11. Started off around 250 lbs. (which took me about 15 months to lose.) Now I'm happily maintaining at 170 - 175 lbs.

Good luck everyone!

Channing · November 2015

Hey there! I'm 5'11" and currently 176 but trying to lose around 20 more pounds (or wear a size 8 comfortably.) Also trying to focus on lifting, so hopefully will see results! Go tall gals!

toolgirlkatie · November 2015

Hi! I'm 5"10 and currently at my highest weight of all time...205lbs. I've been on and off of hormone drugs to regulate my periods and it caused major weight gain. I just started this app three days ago and I'm looking to lose 40lbs. Tall girls are the best!!!!!!

ashleynye8914 · November 2015

Tall girls are the best! Welcome ladies!

Sashysash2806 · November 2015

I think I may be a short for this forum. I am 5'9.5" was 200lbs now down to 143lbs. Looking to get down to 135lbs

ashleynye8914 · November 2015

Not to short perfect! And way to go on ur hard work!

cooperinmarin · November 2015

I'm 5' 10.5" and my kids are both older than 9 years old so I can't really call my current extras "baby weight". My weight is 185-189 and my goal is to get to 150. I am dedicated to taking better care of myself (my weight reflects a gradual "giving up on myself" and putting everyone and everything before my own self care over the last many years). This is about so much more than shedding pounds for me. Day 2...

Moms need to take care of themselves! It's so hard to do and easy to let go. I hope with ur dedication u reach ur goal!

RobinC37 · November 2015

I'm 5'11 and around 200lbs right now. My highest weight ever was 269 (or more, I stopped weighing myself after that). I joined MFP a few years ago to get the rest of the way and never made it, so I'm back! I could really use some new friends for motivation. I don't have kids yet, but I'm engaged and we are talking about starting a family after our wedding next year. I really want to be as healthy as I can to prepare for pregnancy, not to mention look amazing in a wedding dress!

yolohunter · November 2015

Hola! I'm 5'10/11 and started out around 238 about 6 weeks ago after yo-yoing around 215-238 for the past year

My current weight is 222. My first goal is to get under 210 because then I will no longer be in the obese BMI category, and then get back under 200 and ultimately to my goal weight of 160. Unfortunately, I lost this same weight about 8 years ago and kept it off for about 6 years until gaining it all back...sucks to be going through this again, but this time my goal is sustainability!!! I've done it before and I know I can do it again! Please add me- yay tall girls!

syntheticstar · November 2015

I'm 5'11.75 and I started at 320. I've lost 63lbs in the past five months and am down to 257.

Only 82 to go!

elizadoodle88 · November 2015

I'm 6'3" hoping to get down to 180lbs. Now that my youngest is 3, its past time to lose the baby weight!

KymmyJoy · November 2015

Oh hiiii. 5' 11' and struggle sometimes to see how I'll ever get into the clothes I want. In a fairly good place now compared to my SW but still struggle to overcome just bring a generally big person. Love being tall but very envious of a petite body frame

SunflowerCutie · December 2015

I'm under 5'10 but I'm 5'8/5'9 and I currently weigh about 204 pounds. I would like a medium but sometimes large it depends on the clothing. That I have skinny wrists and ankles. I was 191 pounds like 2 years ago and I was so close to being 189 pounds but when one of my close friends passed away last year I got so depressed that I gain the weight back and I went back to 217 pounds. I'm still working on it but I'm not giving up even though when people try to sabotage me or try to tell me I don't need to lose no more weight but I don't care what they say. I wanted to try to get down to at least 170 or 160 depends where I look good at, but the most important thing is I want to be healthy.
Fill free to add me if you want to.

drea218 · January 2016

I'm 5'9 and around 220 at the moment (UK size 14) looking to get down to 150. My lowest ever weight was 160 about 6 years ago (I'm 25yo now) and I was quite visibly slim at that weight - I've got quite an athletic build, broad shoulders etc so I don't think I could ever weight anything under 150! I'll see how I feel once I get to 160. Please feel free to add me looking for some tall gals to follow! Andrea

mdakin65 · January 2016

Hi there. I am 50 yrs old and 5 11 and my current weight is 191.i ve been stalled for months , menopause i think is not helping me....at all! and hoping to get down to 170 to 175. I was very comfortable at that weight, and didnt have a muffin top. I sit in an office job all day but started using a jawbone jan 1, and find its been a help to get moving so if anyone would like to add me for step challenges and motivation , you can search me, my name is Michele Dakin.

beatyfamily1 · January 2016

I'm 5'10". At my very biggest was 300 pounds, but wasn't 300 for very long. I'm down to 236 pounds and still going.

tallgirl1960 · January 2016

I'm 6ft tall and currently 188lbs, my SW. My goal is 160lbs. I got down to 169 a couple of years ago but have gradually put it all back on. I dog walk loads, this week I've done 44 miles but although walking keeps me fit I don't lose weight even though I'm pretty good with my eating. I know from before that I have to be pretty strict with my diet, very low carbs usually works for me and I need to add in other exercise...cardio and weights. I start in earnest tomorrow, I'm doing a 67 mile charity walk in 24 hours at the end of April and want to shift this weight by then!

YaGirlMaddi · January 2016

I'm 5'9.5 SW 165 CW 155 GW ?? Maybe 145, not sure yet. I'm currently at size 8 and measurements are 37 bust 25 waist and 40.5 hips. I also try and do low carb high protein and I'm doing p90x3 for my workouts (for years I just ran and lifted weights)

Moses1818 · January 2016

Great to see a tall gal thread! I'm 6'0", 53 years old. I started myfitnesspal in november at 208#'s. Now I'm at 179, on the way to 165. My weight loss success is credited to clean eating (no processed food except yogurt, kefir and oatmeal), strength training/cardio five times a week. There isn't much support for me at home so this is wonderful to see. Thanks!

MyBoyG · January 2016

5'10, 62 yo. Started my journey at 208, CW 186 and GW between 168-172. Will find out when I get there! Loving MFP., great app and have gained some motivating pals.
