    It's so nice to see how many other tall ladies there are here.... Sometimes I feel like I am the only one. I am almost 6'0 and currently weight 281. My goal weight is 150-160 I am currently trying to do the low carb WOE and have had success with it but was curious what type of diet you all are following??? I fell off the band wagon and trying to get back on. This is the heaviest I have been and I can't stand it anymore.

    I'm 6'0", started at 368, currently 296. I tried low carb (keto) in the past, lost great (my lowest was 272), fell off the wagon, gained most of it back. Easiest and most sustainable WOE for me is to just count calories and walk.

    No special diet here either. Just keeping my calories below 1600. Sometimes I eat my exercise calories. Sometimes not. For instance, because tonight is date night with the SO, I have cut out one of the two snacks I allot myself and ate less for lunch just so I can have a 25 oz. Blue Moon with dinner. :) Oh, and will eat back about 3/4 of my exercise calories.

    I'm 5'10" and currently 141. My end goal is 128, but my next "mini-goal" is 135. The hope is to hit 135 by Thanksgiving.

    But you are the perfect healthy BMI now! Won't 128 make you underweight?

    I just googled it- Technically by 1 pound? But so long as I am eating well (1200-1350 is my daily intake BUT I also packed down 900 kcalories of wings ~alone~ yesterday!!) I'm happy to get back to where I used to be. It is true I've got a history of ED behaviors, but when I was sick, I was at 110... as long as I don't know ANYWHERE near that or eat the same way I used to, I feel good.

    It's funny because it is true that I am at the "perfect" range now, but I'd rather get to 128 and work out so my weight when I'm toned/working on my fitness is 135ish. That's just me, of course!

    Everyone in this thread is so inspiring with all of their stories- whether they are aiming for 140 or 160 or 200 or whatever. It's nice to see the range.

    Hi,
    I'm 6"1 with a fairly large frame. I started off at 245 and am currently 197 with a goal weight of 189- which puts me at the top of a healthy BMI. I feel and look good (if I do say so myself! ) My plan will be to maintain for a year or so and see. At the moment, my maintenance calories will be around 2200 which feels pretty good.
