in Getting Started
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.

    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!

    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! :)

    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!

    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!!!!!!

    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!

    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!

    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!
