Yay tall girls! Friend me if you want to loose weight together. I'm 6'0 and around 165 but ultimately want to be around 145! It's very hard to loose weight though.0

I love this thread! I am 5'11 I am 170 lbs and looking to get back to 150 lbs like I was a couple years ago. Losing weight has always been a challenge for me 3 babies by 3 c-section and my belly is my worst. Those lower muscles I still have issues using. The area around incision is still numb 7 years after my youngest. Working them it burns so bad like I have pulled everyone. This time I'm determined to strengthen those muscle because I'm tired of the yoyo sick of never being able to go to my closest and expecting something to fit.2

Ditto!! 5'10" needing to lose about #120! I love being inspired by all of you!2 -
Can't wait to be able to post in here in the future!! Thanks for lol the inspiration, it's amazing seeing all these tall women's transformations and really that the number on the scale is much sneakier and doesn't mean as much for us starting weight 243 and my goal is 190... down 6 pounds and ready to shed the rest! Thanks ladies!!2

How did you determine what you wanted your goal weight to be? I am 6' 1". I have been obese my entire adult life, so have no clue about a goal other than wanting to be healthy. Help!!
Hi! I'm also 6' 1''. I basically took the BMI calculator and figured that the "healthy" range for me starts at 145lb, so bam! Goal weight found.
However, as I've been progressing, I'm thinking I might not have to go down that far to look the way I want to. I'm at 178 lb right now and am genuinely happy with the way I look and feel (BMI is at 22.7). I've lost 50lb so far. I also want to focus more on weight lifting and toning my arms + core.
So I guess the short of it is: pick a number and then see how you like the progress.
Edited to include a picture: On the left is at my highest weight (231 lb), the one on the right is 10 lb ago, when I hit a healthy BMI (187 lb)
thank you for posting this! I am 6'1" and was wondering if I should make my longterm goal 189 to be in the healthy range. I started at 319 and am now at 261.4 -

Great job everyone! And I've figured out my problem. I need to grow about 8 inches and I'll be a lot skinnier.2

Hi guys Fellow tall lady here. I've started at 224 lbs and I'm currently at 189lbs with a plan to get to 154 and see what's what. I'm 5'10", below are my progress pics (it all happened in 3 months ) Congrats to everyone on your amazing progress!

How did you lose 30lbs in 3 months? I'm desperately trying to lose 26lbs in 10 weeks.0 -

Although BMI is a good rough estimate to help you set your goal I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm 6'1 and started at 250. I am now maintaining between 195-200 at a size 12. I would like to eventually move that to 190-195 or maybe even 185-190 (which puts me into a normal BMI), but I feel great, I think I look pretty good, all my clothes fit me and my numbers (health related) are excellent. I also am tired of cutting and I love eating. So I'm good for now.
The amount you have lost already has probably made a huge difference to your health and general quality of life
. Congratulations! And good luck at whatever goal you decided to end up at.3 -

Thanks for the response! I might check with my doctor to see what she thinks about a reasonable goal weight. For now I'm focused on getting to 220 which would put me at 100 pounds down. At 246 now so 26 pounds to go woohoo.1 -
Well, I am 5'10, and here are my before and afters... HOWEVER... these were a few years ago, and now I'm somewhere in between. Hoping to get down to close to what my "Afters" looked like again I was only about 23 in the Afters, and now I'm 28, so I don't know if I'll ever quite look like this again.
Before: 175 lbs
After: 135 lbs
Wow. I'm 5'10 too. No way I could ever be 135. Looking great3 -

Checking with your doctor is a great idea. After a few months of maintenance at 176lb I got the itch to lose some more, but I checked with my nutritionist first. She gave me the OK to keep cutting until I reach 150ish. She said it will give me more margin in the long run (because we all tend to lose muscle mass and gain fat more easily as we age). So I'm back to eating at a deficit and enjoying the challenge :-)1 -

Hey! I've only been counting calories and just going to the gym. I'm doing intense cardio sessions and also weight training. I'm not eating my exercising calories back, I just keep to my 1600 calories and they've just been dropping. Maybe my body type is also helping a lot, since I'm a mesomorph, and I do shed weight fairly easily when I commit to the gym. Also, I'm still a long way to my goal and the first pounds always come off the easiest - the closer we are to the goal, the harder it gets.. I'm not convinced I'll still lose 35 more lbs in the next 3 months1 -
I'm 5ft10, 210lbs and a size 14. I would love to get below 180lb. I can't use the heavy bone excuse forever. I have just started insanity again as I saw great results last time.4

Interested in following this thread. I'm 23, currently 205lb and 5'11. I've got a long term go to go down to 169 based on a mid range bmi but I'm happy to adjust as needed, especially based on some of these pictures! My mid goals are firstly 195 then 185 and 175.
I currently wear a size 16 and would like to be a 12 highest. Not sure how the lbs match to clothes sizes though so these are all rough numbers.1 -
Amazing results! I can't wait to do an "after" I am 5'9" and need to lose 40 lbs to feel comfortable in my own skin.2

I am 5'11", highest weight was 309, Dec 2015, to Dec 2016, now about 195., so lost 115 lbs. Still need to get to about 180 to be in a normal BMI, but I feel amazing and love the energy I have now!
Not sure how to get photos on this post...2 -
Exciting to see everyone's progress!!
I'm 5'10 started around 196 this January and just hit 176 this week. YAYYYY!
Goal weight is 145 because I actually have a smallish frame.
