Any ladies 5ft 11 or around with before/after pics for inspi

Rats, I tried uploading my profile photos onto a website program (Flickr), and the embedded codes don't have "IMG" on the front or on the back. I am clueless how to show photos! But if you click on my avatar, you can see my photos. I am 5' 10", started nearly a year ago (November 2010) at 221, am now down to 149, a loss of 72 lbs. My current photo on my avatar shows me at about a 65 pound loss, so I've lost a bit more since then, and feel fantastic.

I was hoping against hope last November to lose maybe 40 pounds. I was 48.5 years old, and wanted to get down to some sort of normal range before I was 50, and thought "well, I'm almost 50, I'll never get down to "thin", I just want to be normal!". Within 4 months, I had lost 40 pounds. Within 6 months, I had lost about 60. I was ecstatic. Now I think I am at a lower weight than I was in high school. If I remember, I was a size 12 in high school, and now I'm fitting into size 8's. Single digit sizes!

I don't think I was EVER in the 140's (well, maybe in 8th grade!!!)....my goal has been met, but now I'm thinking if I can get to 145, that's a bit over 75 pounds lost and gives me some wiggle-room for fluctuating.

Well done you look fantastic!

I LOVE this thread! I am 6' tall and wanna share my pictures with you... I'm not done with my journey but these show most of my progress. The first picture is my dad & I in fall of 2006, when I weighed 292 and hadn't begun my weight loss yet. The second picture is my dad & I on the day I got my degree (May 2011) and weighed about 187. I lost 105 pounds the slow/steady way over 5 years and am incredibly proud of myself!! Since then, I have lost another 7 pounds

My before & durings are in my profile. I'm 5'10" ... started just over 230lbs and am now mid-170s...goal of mid-150's

I've lost 4 more pounds since my last picture, so after I get a new one I'll post! Everyone looks fabulous!

Awesome! Great job everyone... this is great. I'm 5"11 and am glad I found this thread. I love seeing everyone's before and after pictures! I'm only about 20 pounds down so no pictures for me... YET! :laugh:

I don't know if you guys have seen this, but there is a tall women group here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/109-tall-women

i'm only 5'6. i wish i was taller. 9-9

I'm 6 feet. and started at 272. Currently 244 Please see my profile for face pics... I think you can see the difference.
Everyone looks wonderful what great inspiration.

I love this thread too I'm 5'11" and am inspired to take some before and after pics also. My goal weight is about 180 and at that weight I look SKINNY MINI, I am 206 right now.

I see everyone thats around 5 11 is aiming for about 180. Im 5 10 and my goal was 140. Is that too low?

It all depends on how you are built and also what look you are trying to obtain. I know some tall women that look good weighing in at 140 and those that look just as slimming carrying 20 more lbs. Just gauge your own progress. When you feel comfortable and are at a healthy weight for your body frame then start to maintain.

Hihi! I'm 5'11 (and a half).

Before at 206 lbs:


After at 180 lbs:

you look great!

I love this thread! I'm 5'10 and my goal is 175 right now...we will see when I get there how I feel because "technically" that is still overweight...blah blah blah!! LOL

All of the women here look wonderful and it's nice to see them at my goal weight because everytime I share mine with someone they say "oh no that is too skinny you will look sick"...anyone else get that???

Anyway Good luck to all you fabulously tall women!

everytime I share mine with someone they say "oh no that is too skinny you will look sick"...anyone else get that???

My co-workers think I should stop losing weight now (currently 235), and when I tell them that I want to lose another 60 lbs they ask where it's going to come from.

BUMP.

I am 5'10" and at almost 30 lbs down. I will have to take some pics when I get to that point! It is totally true about being able to hide your weight -- I hit 285 (hadn't stepped on the scale in a while) and nearly cried. I was even hiding weight from myself. The next day I found MFP. I am hoping my graduation pictures will be the best pictures of me that have been taken in a long time.

You all are great inspiration and I am so happy for your ongoing success!

I'm 5'10!!! I have some before/ after pics I need to post but I have not taken the time to do it. I started with MFP at 155 and am now about 123!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At my heaviest (day I had my son) I was 2-0-5. Gross. So glad I found MFP and am now totally happy with myself again.
