5’9 - 5’11 ladies - What Are Your Stats/Goals?

I always said I wanted to be 5'7 and 130 lbs with 34C boobs... LOL

But, I'm:

Height: 5'11"
Weight - 147 (varies from 147 to 152)
Goal - Maintain (but it's only been 3 weeks since I hit "goal" of 150 after losing 13lbs, so I'm back siding a bit)
Bust - I'm a 34DDD (whatever that amounts too!)
Waist: 28.5
Hips: 40 (widest part)
Clothing size: 6 US
Body Fat: I'm thinking around 23% (mostly comes from butt/boobs)

I'm really happy at this weight, but I'm sure improvements could be made. I'm not the most "motivated" person to lift/do cardio/exercise in general. I walk a good bit though.

I'm almost 39 and weigh less now than I did in HS. I've been 5'11 since I was 12 years old.

I'm like you Graelwyn, I wish I was a bit shorter, I'm not a fan of "standing out". I'm also not a fan of never finding clothes in the right proportions. I have a very short body and very long legs, so most styles don't look right on me. But you do the best you can with what you have!

Height - 5' 10.5"
Weight - 214
Goal - 175 then see where I want to be from there
Bust - size 36/40 D/DD (depends on the bra)
Waist - 44.5
Hips - 47.25
Clothing size - 16/18
Body fat - too much to count.

Starting on my journey to a healthier weight. Wanting to get to the top of my BMI for normal weight then go from there to fine where I really want to be. Almost 2 months in and 18 pounds gone. I am hoping to see mid 190's by New Year!

Good luck and great job so far

I looooove being tall and wish I was taller! I'm starting to wear heels again

Height: 5'9.5"
Weight: 286
Goal Weight: 190 or wherever I feel super sexy again! I've always been big, I think if I go below 190 I won't recognize myself.
Bust: 38K US 38H everywhere else
Clothing: 22ish US, Torrid says I'm a 20 but Torrid inflates their sizes quite a bit
Body Fat: Not sure, I think 45%ish based on some months old measurements. I should do that again.

Height - 5’ 8.5" (I like to round up to 5'9", in my early 20s I was measured ared 5' 8.75")
Weight - 160 Ibs
Goal - 145-150
Bust - 37
Waist - 29 (thinnest part, around my belly button is 30")
Hips - 40.75
Clothing size - US 8 to 10ish
Body fat - 25% would be my guess.

I've always wanted to be taller. I'm "tall-ish" but not really tall. If I'm going to be "tall", I would rather be TALL. But not too tall, I have a friend who is 6'6". I'd want to be like 6' or 6'1".

And yeah, long enough sleeves and shirt lengths are my only issue but thankfully places like Old Navy, Gap, Loft, Eddie Baurer now all sell shirts in "tall".

Height - 5'10.5
Weight - 163lbs
Goal - 145-148lbs
Bust - 34DD
Waist - 34?
Hips - 42
Clothing size - US 10-12
Body fat - no idear

I hated being tall when I was a teenager but eventually came to love my stature. Tall women generally have a rather regal bearing :-)

5'8.5, not quite 5'9 LOL
Weight:187
42-32-42
Bra is a 36G
Last time I did my body fat %, it was at 29 and I weighed close to 220lbs.
Size 14 in most stuff, 12 in others, 16 in some, to get it over my hips
Goal weight is 175-ish, I started at 255 (and fun story, boobs didn't shrink AT. ALL. Count me disappointed). So, I plan to stay slightly over the high recommend BMI, because otherwise I just feel weird.

Yes, exactly! No one carries a 36G. I had to go to ordering online and I've always been able to just go to Walmart or Kohls etc. before. Also, common theme seems to be with clothes, that they must be fake to be that big, but with such a smaller band size. So much stuff I can't wear in public and feel comfortable. Lol

I still really don't like being tall - but I'm getting better at loving myself!

Height - 5’11
Weight - 284.2 Ibs (starting 315)
Goal - 175
Bust - 44
Waist - 48
Hips - 55.5
Clothing size - 22
Body fat - Not sure, last time I checked about 8 months ago I think it was like 46%

I wear a 12 size shoe and HATE it!! LOL . I can never find cute shoes. Hopefully, with weight loss my feet will shrink a bit - I would kill to wear an 11.

Good news, I think you'll find that your feet do indeed get smaller with weight loss. I always used to be a 10 or 11, depending on the shoe. Now I need some 9's...and they got super narrow, when I was heavy I needed WW.

I like being tall although I feel self conscious if I'm around a lot of shorter people

Height - 5'9"
Weight - 144 Ibs
Goal - 138
Bust - 34
Waist - 27
Hips - 36
Clothing size - US 6

I hated being tall when I was younger but have learned to appreciate it more as an adult. I do still have a hard time finding pants with long enough inseams and coats/jackets with long enough arms though. That part of being tall will always be annoying.

Height - 5’11 (gained an inch after losing 80+ pounds).
Weight - Maintaining between 165 -170 pounds year round.
Goal - Maintain my weight/size.

Body fat - Not sure, but I'm very happy with my body composition of having a good balance of solid curves and lean muscle. I'm the smallest I've ever been as an adult!

Other then standing out (I don't like attention) I really love being tall. Thanks to my parents, my self-esteem has always been great and I was taught to keep my head high, shoulders back and walk/speak proudly at a young age. Never had an issue with the boys at any age or height and I never felt like I should slouch to make myself shorter. If anyone has any issue with my height that's on them.

Clothes can be an issue though, but that has more to do with my curves then my height.

As a gift to myself for maintaining for 5 years next year, I'm taking classes to learn how to sew and tailor my own clothes to fit my body soon. I'm so excited to be able to make my own cute dresses and skirts for spring/summer 2018!

So can I respond if I'm 6 feet?

Because some of us "tall ladies" are even taller, we have many of the same issues as previous posters, and most likely have even a harder time getting clothes and shoes that fit us properly.

"Tall sizes", from many chain retailers, seem to be geared towards women who are about 5'8" or 5'9", and therefore are not truly "tall sizes," for people like me! It means that I buy clothing very infrequently since most things don't fit me. Anything structured is definitely a no-go as my bust is lower than regular sizing due to my long torso, and sleeves and pant lengths and "rises" in pants are all too short for the most part because I need a 35" inseam. And being on the "thinner" side of the BMI spectrum, it makes it nearly impossible sometimes. The "XL" I need for my shoulder breadth, sleeve and garment length is absolutely swimming on me, so I might as well wear a circus tent!

So my stats:
6' (age 51)
SW 172 (post meno weight gain)
CW 145 lbs
GW 145
Bust 32B
Waist 30" at smallest point but 33" or so at the navel
Hips 39"
Shoulders - larger than 40" span thanks to swimming!
Fat? I dunno. If I gain weight, it goes straight to the "meno pot"
Am I a small frame? I think so - my wrists are 4.5" but my pelvis and shoulder width throw off my clothing sizes. I don't look at the number or letter on an article of clothing when shopping. I look at sleeve/pant length, torso length and overall width to decide if it's worth trying on. Mostly it's not.

But clothing shopping is actually much easier for me than shoe shopping. I take a 12N and haven't bought shoes in over eight years. Everything is falling apart at the seams, save a couple of my high heels that I purchased 15 years ago that I have boxed up for special occasions. The tall store that I used to buy shoes from was bought out by a U.K. retailer called Long Tall Sally, and they only sell their own brand of medium width shoes. I was in there a month ago trying to find anything to fit me, and once again it was another wasted trip. ....

However it was an interesting visit. There was a sales lady steaming the wrinkles out of a dress, and it was actually quite a horrible dress. I remarked that it was ugly, and the woman agreed. Then she went on to tell me that she thought all the clothes were ugly (I concurred). I was laughing with her and we were discussing how frumpy all their clothes were. The manager came over and explained the managements' and executive designers' perspective on fashion for tall women. She said that they believed that tall women don't really want to be tall, and that is why they use boat necklines, turtle necks, crew necks and avoid deep V necklines for almost all their clothing. Much of their clothing is also not very form fitting either, but fits loosely about the chest and sleeves. They do this so it creates an illusion of being shorter than we actually are. As if.....

My two cents: There's not much you can do about your height if you're tall. So really it's better to embrace it and love your body. Wear clothes that flatter your frame and stand tall and be proud. You are unique and beautiful. Good posture makes everyone look and feel better no matter what their size, so why not hold those shoulders back and keep your neck and head high? You can see over heads in a crowd, you can always reach the top shelf, you have the widest hand span for musical instruments and you have a great reach for sports!

My current goal? Find a solution for my shoes. I plan to travel to Southwest Florida in November. If any of you tall ladies knows where I can pick up some 12N shoes, I would love your help. I am thinking of duct taping cardboard to my feet now....
