Okay so I'm a tall(er) girl. I'm 199 now and would like to eventually get down to 150-60ish.

I would love to see before/after pics from anyone the same height. :))

    I'm almost 6ft tall....(1/4" under). I will post some before pics soon - just need to find 'em!

    I started out at 88.9 kilos (195.6lbs ) and am now getting closer to my goal which is 75ish kgs. I'm now around 76.5kgs (168.3).

    I'm feeling great and fitting into ALL of my old clothes - feels like a brand new wardrobe~! Love it! and feel sooo good.

    Me either. I mean, everyone has different shapes, but for the most part tall women are generally the same sizes. :P

    The profile pic I have currently is me at 154 and I'm 5'9.

    I would like to get down to 140-150 eventually... but right now I'm happy at 152.

    I'd also like to see this just because I'm having a hard time determining whether my goal wt is realistic or suitable for my frame. I think I was 137 before I was pregnant so I set that as my goal, but I know the last time I really felt thin I was 120-125 (in my 20s). I'm 5' 9"

    My profile pic is 154 and I am just under 5'9". I want to be a little lower or just fitter but my body seems to really want to be this weight. So I am pretty happy too!

    Height: 5'9"
    largest weight: 185lbs (one year ago)
    smallest weight: 120lbs (ten years ago with ED)
    current weight: 154lbs
    goal weight: 130lbs (ED free)

    I've always been chunkier, my mother had gestational diabetes with me and so I've been told I have a larger chance both for developing diabetes and for having the hard to shed belly fat. My current measurements are 36-30-38 and I'm really really trying to get a better waist to hip ration to get myself out of the health risk grouping. But it's hard because I have naturally muscular legs so any cardio like running or walking makes my thighs hulk out! lol.

    I'm 5'9" and this is a pic of my weightloss so far. I'm now down to 165lbs (or there about, weigh in tomorrow) so will have to get another pic added soon - unfortunately I don't have any full body pics. I'm looking to get down to about 130lbs :-))

    Hi Ladies,

    I'm 5'9" and I was 199 when I started my weight loss journey in August of 2009. By the time Summer 2010 rolled around, I had gotten down to about 158-159. Right now I'm 168 and trying to get back between 155-160. Anywho... here are my before and after pics. The before is in Nov 2009 (199) and the second is in Oct 2010 (about 158/159).

    Hi Girls,

    I'm 5'10, started off as 182lb and lost 7lb so far, want to be around the 150lb mark.
    I've taken a few 'before' pics as I have started the 30DS, they're on my blog. Have a read :)
