Hi there! So I’m new and I’ve been on here a month and have lost 7lb. I am taller than 95-97% of women at 5’9.5”-5’10” so my goals are a little different than someone who is 5’2”. What is your goal weight and what is your routine ? :)

Feel free to add

    Hi, I'm 5'10 weighed 250 on the first of January. Weighed 241 today. I love the site. I have owned a catering business for years so I am cooking some good healthy meals but am not excercising yet. What is your plan?

    I'm 5'10. Starting weight 155, goal weight is 134. It's where I was a few years ago and i stayed within a few pounds and then in the last year and a half or so the scale started creeping up. I run, do spin, yoga, a boot camp class, and lift weights. And I do a lot of hiking.

    I'm 5'9" and started at 173 in early November. My goal is 140, and I'm 1/3rd of the way there (I've lost 11 lb of 33). In good weather (which we have little of in winter in Maine) I run. I do step aerobics a couple of times a week, which I love, and zumba and strength training one day a week each, which I'm lukewarm about (the workouts don't even make me break a sweat.. I think they're geared toward elders, which is pretty much who lives where I do). I may buy a step and just do step aerobics at home for those days. On weekends, I'm on the recumbent bike. I've been tracking all my calories here, and try not to eat many of my exercise calories (MFP thinks my baseline should be 1370). Feel free to add me!

    Sup girl! Another tall lady here. Okay so I’m 5’10” and I want to be about 155. I am currently 173. At 155 I’ll be about a size 6. I’m a size 10 now.

    Just saying all bodies are different. When I was in my 20’s I was 130. Now that would be too thin for me. I am totally satisfied as a size 6.

    Also, I do spin classes and free weights.

    Also realized tall people generally carry their weight differently - so sizes: currently size 12 jeans and a large or XL top.

    That's so crazy, my starting weight and height are almost exactly the same as yours, but while you're in size 12 jeans I'm in size 20, and while you're in a L or XL top I'm in 2XL!!!!

    I am 5'11'', 148ish, and (allegedly) at about 27% body fat. I wear a size 10 pants. I'd like to get my body fat % down to around 20%. I don't care what the number on the scale is.

    I do Crossfit, kickboxing, and some beachbody programs at home (not a coach/not looking to sell! lol).

    Isn't 160 rather heavy for a 5'9 woman? I'm a 5'10" man and ideally want to be 140 (10st).

    Judgmental much??!
    Also, she looks pretty damn good at 248 pounds, so 160 sounds very reasonable.

    This guy's been trolling the forums all day. Just ignore him lol. Everyone keeps reporting him and he has comments deleted all over the place.

    Hey everyone! My plan is pretty vague I suppose. I started at 1200 net calories but I bumped it up to 1500 net. I’m losing 0.5-1lb a week as I want to. I haven’t logged my weight in about two weeks ish. For exercise I do cardio 30-60 min 6 days a week and I just started lifting 3x per week. I don’t have a set food plan.. I eat what I want in smaller portions. I don’t want to post my weight but I’d hope to lose 15-25lb. :) good luck everyone and thanks so much for your insight

    Im a female and about 5'9 & 165 now, but when I was working with a coach @ 160-162 lbs I had my body fat % monikered....since I have a lot of muscle (I weight train and do cardio), my body fat was very low...so weight looks differently on everyone due to bone structure and amount of muscle. When I did get down to 145-149 before weight training, I looked too skinny and unhealthy

    I’m 5’10, 167lb!
    Glad to see there are some taller chicks on here. Feel free to add me, im new on here!
    My goal is to lengthen/tone my legs, also drop some weight to what I use to be 148lb.
    I started pole dancing again last year. I hate the gym so this was a good alternative. Great thing is at the time I don’t realise I’m working out until the next day when I feel it. It has also helped me quit smoking (2months now) and has made exercising much easier, so now I’ve started doing 1hr home workouts.

    Not a lady and not overly tall but 6'2 and over 300, I find it good and interesting to see people who are tall discuss the different sort of challenges we face, its not necessarily about weight on our frames, we look at different stats.

    I'm female and 5'10'' tall, currently at 190lbs (started at 208 lbs a couple of months ago) and just found out about this page. My aim is 155 lbs by the end of May so I think it's quite achievable and specially now that I can register exactly what I eat and drink.

    I’m 5’10”, large framed according to bone measurements, and started at 248, size 20/22, 3 years ago. I’m now at 185, size 12/14.

    I have several goals:
    - Get out of plus-sized clothing. Done.
    - Reach a lower-risk body fat measurement. Done.
    - Reach a lower-risk waist/height measurement. Done.
    - Be able to participate in recreational athletic events, like 5 or 10ks and sprint tris. Doing regularly now.
    - Reach a normal BMI, which happens for me at 171. Next! 14lbs to go.

    Eta: My daily (pre-exercise) calorie maximum is 1800. That’s maintenance for my goal weight, so I’m losing slowly and steadily.
