Hi there! I am 5'8.5 and weigh 156 pounds. Highest was 191 in 2012, lowest 151 summer of 2014. I can really only see myself weighing no less than 145. With the weight loss, comes loss of other things! Booty and Boobs! lol. Anyway, looking for some motivating partners on here.. feel free to add me!0

Hi everyone! I'm 5' 11" and currently weigh 158 pounds, but I started this journey at 164. I am aiming to consume between 1200 and 1300 calories a day, but when I work out I aim for 1500. I one day hope to weigh 135, and I would love some motivating partners on myfitnesspal. Please feel free to add me!0

Hi, I,m 5'9 and weigh in at 136. I'm aiming for 130. I stay under 1000 5 days a week and have 2 days where its usually 1800-2000 (alcohol has too many calories!!)0

Hi everybody! I'm new to this group!
I'm 1.82m (roughly 6').
Starting weight was 75.6kg, current weight is 70kg (can't seem to get below it
).
My goal weight is 65kg but I'd be ok with anything under 68.0 -
Hey, everyone!
I've recently gotten serious about reaching my goals again, so I'd love to meet more people who are at the same place.
I'm 1.83m (which would be around 6') and in my last weight-in weighted 83.9 kg, so around 184 lbs. I have a really heavy bone structure, so my goal is 65kg (143lbs), not less.
I'm a bit of a gym junkie I guess and trying to do all that clean eating thing, I mostly succeed, but we all slip sometimes
I am trying to get into lifting, with moderate results, if I have to be honest, but working towards it!
I'd love to have more tall friends on mfp, so don't hesitate to add me

Hey! I'm 5'10" and about 135- my highest weight was 145 (which felt awful on my small frame) and my lowest weight was 123 (I was looking pretty skinny then). I think I'd like to end up somewhere around 126 or 127, ultimately, which I wear pretty well when I'm fit.0

I am 5"11 1/2 I am 182 lb my ultimate goal is 160. But for now I want to reach 170. I eat about 1500 a day0

Hi y'all! I'm 5'10" and am 165 lbs. My HW was 183 after having my 4th child. After turning 50 I started gaining roughly a pound a week! My first goal is 145 and we'll see how it goes after that. I eat around 1500 calories a day and burn about 500 from exercising each day.0

5'10" and currently bouncing between 142 and 145. Highest weight was 152. Looking to get back down to under 135. Lowest was 128 but that was due to a bad mental state. Current calorie consumption is 1350 and am trying to work out 4-5 days a week. Aside from my weight goal I really really want to get some upper body strength. My long term goal is being able to do one pull-up, then I'll go from there!0

Hi! I'm 6'1 and 185lbs currently. I lost 50 lbs in the last 2 years by returning to ballet and dance. I workout 10-12 hrs a week high intensity in various styles of dance. I had crept up to 197 after the holidays again and started Keto this past Sunday. So far I'm 12lbs down!0
-
Ohh. Yay. A place for tall girls!
I'm 179 cm. So around 5'11? And I weigh 136 pounds. My goal would be around 132. But I'm going to shift to maintainance soon! I could really use some friends 0 -
130Emma....I have a 36" inseam. I get most of my jeans through GAP. The Extra Long is a 37" inseam. Otherwise, I go to a local western store here (The Fort Western). They have a huge mens and womens jeans shop and carry everything from Wrangler to Silver Jeans. My son has a 38" inseam, so I always buy his jeans there.
There's also a website called tallclothingmall.com that has kind of a list of where to buy different clothing items and even features sales/specials at some of the clothing sites.
Good Luck!
Quote="130emma;30691347"]Hi! I'm Emma and am 6'0'' and about 150 down from 158 which is the heaviest I've ever been...I know to be fit/athletic I should be at 140lbs but man, I find that last 10 or so to always be so difficult!!!
P.S. Please let me know where everyone finds pants/jeans (I have long legs hahaha)
I eat about 1200 cals/day and see small differences...I play a lot of sports but since our soccer season was over I've gained fat and lost muscle. My measurements are 32-29-40 but I really need to work on toning my large butt!!!
I believe in you all by the way! Tall girls stick together!!! The air is cleaner up here anyway haha (;[/quote]

I'm 5'10" as well, and currently138, down from 170 after the birth of my daughter in december.
I'm eating 1200 kcals a day, and heading for 125lbs. I've been lower, but it wasn't healthy, 125 seems like a good compromise; I'm definitely slim at that weight, but not too skinny. I've never felt confortable any heavyer than that.

I'm 5'9 currently 132 down from 153..i lift weights and really try to add a ton of protein to my diet. My goal is 125 i think..i try to eat 1400 - 1500 on workout days and 1200 on non workout days..1

5'8
SW: 228
CW: 175
LW: 165
GW: 140ish
My goal is to be fit, lean, strong, and fast! Endurance athlete style. I'm definitely build bigger than some girls - wide shoulders and hips. So I'm not going to get obsessed with a specific number. Just know I have a lot more fat to shave off before I'm going to be the athlete I am working towards being

Hi ladies.
5'11. Hit GW of 145 in April and it's taken months for me to find a maintenance rhythm. I was all over the map and stuck at 149 for weeks.
Currently 146-147 (well, pre Xmas) and aiming to find 145 again.
Net calorie goal is 1250 a day. I do a lot of spin and weights 2 or 3x week, so I'm averaging 2000 calories a day in deficit to hit that.

OK I have a legitimate question about your calories... how do you exist on 1400 or less a day?? OMG I'm starving if I'm at 1500. I shoot for 1600/day, and often come in between 1500-1700. I'm 5'9" (48 years old), and CW is 173. Goal is 155. My lowest weight was 148 in my mid twenties, but I was only able to maintain that by starving and working out like a fiend. Neither of those options works for me with a family and job.
I've heard of tall women below 150 lbs but I can't figure out how you actually get there. It's never seemed possible for me. Thanks for sharing!1 -
I'm 5'8 164. My goal weight is 148-153. I started at 176. I must have a bigger frame than a lot of you. I was in the 130's in high school and when I look back at those pictures I think I looked anorexic! I'm currently getting over a cold and stalling on getting back on the work out grind. I work out during the work week and take weekends off. I do Body Beast, Insanity series and Core de Force (Beach Body on Demand stuff). I eat about 1450 cal/day and don't increase calories on my work out days.1

Hi all--I am 5'8 and weighed 155 upon starting a Keto diet last week. I feel like my stomach is smaller...trying to get rid of the "bagel belly" before Christmas or so. I plan on going off of the keto diet for the holidays and starting up again after my scrap booking weekend away in the third week of January. I also have Celiac Disease so not having things was not too hard. (but it's only been a week)
After my third child was born (1992) I went right back to my High school weight of 122. Now I think that I must have looked like a skeleton! Anyhow, when I got up to 160 (which was my heaviest weight) while I was pregnant with #2 I decided that I needed to do something!
This is really hard when you have NEVER dieted before and you are 55 years old! Many of you sound much younger than me and losing weight seems to be really hard after menopause. Maybe there is another group for me? Anyhow, good luck to all and if anyone has any suggestions...I am very new here and would like to hear them! TerriO1 -

Hi, I’m 5’9” and 141 lbs, eating around 1500-1600 calories lately. I had gained about 10 having become lazy about my workouts but started counting about 2 months ago and lost 10 lbs. That amount feels okay to me, but I think it’s what you’re use to and habits. It seems to go back to my childhood and the size of portions I had on my dinner plate. Now my kids eat the same way. We also wait for meals to eat (I’m French) even if a little hungry. I exercise hard regularly, if I’m hungry I’ll have some yogurt and fruit, and a cup of tea. It holds me to dinner which is usually full of vegetables and lowish in fat. Anyway, we are all different and have different needs and habits.1 -
I am 6' tall and currently 162... goal is 155-158. Much lower and I feel too thin! Sheesh you are all listing such low weights! Can't imagine being in the 130s! I work out with a trainer 2x per week- go to boot camp classes 3xper week- and run about 15 miles per week. I eat about 1500 cals per day and I don't increase my calories for exercise- just what works for me.
I agree with your comment I've been 147lbs before and I didn't look well at all...I'm not a partially curvy or "big boned" person myself but aiming for such a low weight seems a bit far fetched. I enjoy my food and I would be pretty miserable having to try to stick to 1,200 cals a day.

I'm 5 ft 8 and currently at 150. Most of my life, I've "settled" around 140 to 150, and my ultimate goal is 125ish. I look "fine", but I've been 130ish, and that's when I looked good to me (and I think that is what counts most.)
Reading the posts above, it seems to me that the majority of us are well within a healthy BMI, and working towards the lower end of that healthy range.
I don't know about anyone else, but for me, it is like constantly trying to hold a beachball under water. If I let go for a nanosecond, my weight bounces back up. I eat between 1400 and 1700 calories a day. For me to lose, I have to stay at about 1,200 to 1,300 calories a day, work out 6 days a week, and log 10k steps. So, I know what to do, I want to do it, but the challenge is consistency. I've also noted that higher protein/higher fiber enables me to be more consistent. ,
I'm determined! So, please add me to your friend list!1 -
I'm 5'9 and I'm usually around 155. I think that's pretty average. Not to mention I'm trying to get stronger so I don't really expect that number to go down much. But numbers shouldn't be your focus IMO.1

Hi all, I am 175 cm (5'8) and 69 kg (152) but I really want to go close to 141 where I feel the best. Not a lot but it's not happening. I don't exercise much and I eat pretty clean.
I am trying to stay at 1200 calories/day but not always being successful.0 -
Hey, everyone! I’m so glad I found this thread. I’m 5’8”, (almost) 25 yo, and weigh 161 currently. My lowest was 146, and I hovered between 147-155 for about 2 years before gaining to 165. (Partly I blame myself, and partly I blame that the new town I live in is a food desert!) I felt awesome in the 140s, so I’m hoping to get back there. More than anything I’m trying to flatten my stomach and tone my arms! Those areas have been always tough for me. I love my legs and my butt, but even at my lowest I had a substantial pooch.
I try to stick to 1200, but it’s rough sometimes. I’m also trying to exercise as much as possible, with a minimum of 3 45min workouts per week.0 -
Similar #s for me: I’m 5’ 10” and 153lbs. Looking to lose around 10lbs, finding it quite difficult. Eating ~1400 cals a day but not eating back exercise calories apart from maybe 150cals if I do an especially long run. Quite active in general.
What’s a typical day of eating for those of you who are eating around the same #s?0 -
I didn't know this thread existed and it's great! I'm 175 cm (almost 5'8) and...I don't know my weight right now as I don't own a scale. I know it's weird, but I've been moving around so much I couldn't be bothered to buy one and am going by my body measurements for now. I'm in the last phase of losing now as I want to lose around 7 pounds more but these last ones are extremely hard. I used one of the online calculators provided in one of the forums and it estimated I would need 3.5 more months to lose that little! I eat 1,607 calories and last time I checked I weighed in at about 140 pounds.
Feel free to add me!0 -
I'm 5'8" and honestly shocked by how low weight some of you other 5'8" girls want to be. I'm currently 180 and my goal is to get to 148ish, but realistically I'll be happy if I hover around 150. There is no possible way I'd get below 145 without starving myself and looking skeletal. I'm curvy and muscular - busty with a big booty. I'm currently netting 1400-1500 calories a day and I stay pretty satisfied at that right now.2

I am just under 5'10 and am currently 137. My intention is to gain more muscle, so who knows what weight I will finally land on. I am curious about the calorie intake everyone has posted - is it the total number of calories you are eating in a day, or the final count after calories burned from exercise has been taken into account?0
