I'm currently at 182 lbs but would ultimately like to reach 160 lbs.

I'm 5'10" too! I have a medium frame, and seem to always carry most of my extra weight in my legs. I am typically a B cup, but since cutting out all bread & sweets in June (and doing high intensity cardio), I'm now an A. Seems like my weight usually hovers at about 160. But right now, I'm153-155. I'm trying to decrease my bodyfat percentage, which was 26 last time I had it checked. I wear a size 4-6 in clothes. My highest weight was 220, which I hit 3 years ago while pregnant with twins.

I'm hoping to get down to somewhere between 145-150, presuming that's accompanied by a lower bodyfat percentage. I definitely don't want to lose muscle! (And I don't want to look too slim.)

Isn't it great being tall!

I'm technically only 5'9", but thought I might jump in with you amazing ladies. I'm 48 years old and have been at my maintenance weight for 2 years, which is 132-135. I eat around 1400-1500 calories a day of which about 75% is plant based (and yes still get at least 90g or more of protein each day depending on the day), lift weights 45 minutes a day 4-5 days a week, get in a nice 45 minute hike at least once a week and play a round or two of golf on the weekends with my hubby. Three years ago I had some routine blood work done and had elevated liver enzymes. I was 178 pounds, ate pretty healthy but didn't exercise much. I knew I had to get my poop in a group.

For me maintenance is far tougher than losing 45 pounds was. I still have a little pouch of belly fat that will likely never go away but I'm strong and lean. Most important is that I feel great and love being able to walk into a store and pull any pair of size 6 jeans off the rack knowing they'll fit, and I know that the healthy things I'm doing for my body now will prevent major health problems down the road.

I always thought I was medium to large frame, but I think that was something my mom told me from the time I was young to make me feel better about the fact that I was larger than all my friends. Now that I have a healthy BMI and defined muscles I realize I'm probably more small to medium frame. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity to feel awesome!

Keep up the great work ladies!!

I do still incorporate eggs, greek yogurt and small amounts of cheese as well. Love me some eggs! I spend several hours every Sunday doing food prep for the week. I love things like avocado toast with tomatoes and sunflower seeds, steel cut oats with nut milk and fruit, spinach artichoke enchiladas, fritatta, big salads using pomegrante balsamic instead of dressing, hummus and baby carrots, dried apricots and walnut halves, veggie spring rolls, fruit with yogurt, chocolate chip pancakes (A girl has to have a little sweet, right HA), monster vegan burrito made with chickpeas, hempseed hearts and yummy peppers, quinoa bowls, etc. I eat fish a few times a week for dinner, incorporate lean chicken breast into salads, a delish steak once or twice a month and use different protein powders (try to keep it plant based but there are some really yummy whey powders that don't use sucralose to sweeten).

Today my breakfast was snickerdoodle pancakes topped with a spoon of greek yogurt and a blueberry smoothie made with pea protein powder, snack was half an apple with a tablespoon of almond butter, lunch is a lentil burger with avocado and goat cheese on a sandwich slim along with a salad of romaine lettuce, strawberries, walnuts and a little goat cheese topped with pomegranate balsamic. Afternoon snack is a pineapple smoothie and dinner is a quinoa bowl with mayocoba beans, onions, peppers and a little salsa topped with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. Dessert is a super yummy mini carrot cake loaf made with pea protein powder instead of flour and a little mango sorbet that I make with frozen mango and coconut milk. It's a ton of food and comes in at just over 1400 calories.

@glassofroses- I could also eat cereal for dinner. HA!

You look great and it sounds like you've been working hard to meet your goals. I like the way you phrased it about no immediacy during maintenance like there is during the weight loss. That really makes sense.

I'm 5'10" and after a 23 lb weight loss I am at 147, would love to be 140. I still think my thighs are big, but at this point I am not sure I will ever be happy, my goal for years was 150. I am focusing on maintaining and eating healthy without the guilt.

I'll admit - I'm jealous of you all. I'm 5'10" and solidly rocking 208lbs. My goal is to get down to 175 and I'm beginning my journey. I have two issues going on : #1 - I have a hard time just keeping the habit. #2 - I don't know how to eat to lose weight (i.e. should I eat more or less? Do I need more plant based, but still get protein - which is what I'd prefer, do I need to lift weights to lose weight?)

This thread has already been inspirational, but I'd love to lean on all of you for support. Thank you for any tips you can offer!

Heyyyyy! I love a good tall girl thread!

I am 5'11" (Technically 5'10.5", but I round up, haa.)
I am relatively small-framed, my wrists measure at 5.75", but I have broad shoulders. I currently weigh 143.8, hoping to get down to 135ish.
I am considered "thin" I guess, but my main focus is to get my body fat percentage down, and build long, lean muscle. I am still too squishy!
My BF % is around 21%, aiming for 18-19%.
Measurements are Chest: 33.5", Waist (smallest part): 26.5", Hips: 37.5"

I eat a vegan diet, and health and wellness is part of my daily life.

Feel free to add me as a friend!

After reading the above and using the TDEE calculator I think I am not eating enough calories. I've been around 1400 (including exercise) and the TDEE says 1800!! What??!! I am not seeing movement on scale however, hovering at 183. Very active so perhaps this is right. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you.

Heyoooo Tallies!

I noticed the thread for the 5'8"ers and thought I'd love to hear some feedback from the 5'10"ers! It's pretty amazing how a 2 inch difference in height can make for some very different goals! Obviously age, frame size (large, medium, small), all play into it.

Technically, I believe I am a hair under 5'10", but not even a half inch under. I have broad shoulders, and a large frame. I also (even at my lowest weight) have always maintained at least a C cup in bra size.

I typically feel my best when I weigh between 150-160lbs. 155 is my current goal and I am 168 as of this morning. When I am under 150, I am typically not eating enough. I have never gone under 150 the healthy way. I am sure it can be done. Personally, I think thats a bit too low for me to maintain. At 155 I am usually a size 6 or 29 in pants.

What are your goals?

Sounds like we're literally almost body twins, except I'm a hair over 5'10. Broad shoulders and C cup bra size. SAME.

I feel my best at 150-155. However, I would like to be 145 to give myself breathing room. I'm currently at 168.
