5*9 to 5*11 women

it amazes me that some of you guys are around my weight and height and can get into 4's and 6's. i am still in a 10, maaaaybe an 8 if i am lucky. i guess it all depends on how each person is built, but i must say, i am a little jealous. haha.

I would have been happy at a 12, but I'm happy at a 6, too. It's all about being fit and healthy.

I'm 5'9" - CW 185, GW 175 (maybe lower, let me get there first)...highest weight I think was about 210...

These are great motivators. I was told at 175 a few years back that I looked too skinny, but we'll see how it goes this time around. I'll try to post pics soon...I'm still not thin and have a belly from my kiddos (or I'll blame it on that for now), but I'm working it off!

I'm 5'9", 145lbs. I also like having buddies of similar heights on here, so please feel free to add me, fellow tall ladies!

I'm 6'0 (large framed) and started MFP on 10/10/2011 at 226 (already lost 10 pounds when I started MFP) and I'm 187.8
(38.2 pounds lost) as of this morning...My original goal weight was 180 but I think I can go even further. My new goal is 170-175 and I'll see what I look like and go from there! I'm so close to a normal BMI and people think I'm crazy when I tell them what I weigh! But for insurance reason I need to be in a normal BMI...

I'm 5'9 I started out at 189 on January 25. I am now down by 13 lbs. My goal is to be about 160-165. I dont want to be to skinny. I have before pics that I can post but havn't taken any since the weight lost. I wanted to wait until I got down to 170... Only 6lbs tyo go....

Let's see if this works...I'm 5'10, and this is me a few months ago at 180 pounds.I'm 170 right now and don't see much of a difference, but my goal is 150.

Sorry no pics to post just yet. I am 5'11 and have recently had my 50th birthday. I have struggled with yo-yoing for over 30 years and have weighed betwee 215 and 155 (i think that lasted for a week). I have to really work at getting and staying at 155 but when i weigh around 180 i seem to linger there for a while. My body seems to want to be that weight but i feel happier, slim and in control at 160. I currently weigh about 176 and i am a size 12 in pants and skirts; iI have worked out with a couple of friends and a personal trainer 2-3x per week for a couple of years now and it has made a huge difference. Previously, when at 176lb, i was a size 14.
I managed to get into a size 8 a couple of years ago at 155lb ( with one- on -one training 2x per week plus 4 more days of 2 hr gym sessions!!! Way too unreasonable for average lifestyle hence weight gain) but my face and neck get too scraggy according to sis and close friends. I am aiming for 160lb and a size 10....at this weight I've been called statuesque,and model like; 2 young strangers even teasingly commented in passing that i must be Christie Brinkley; best compliment ever because it was so random and teen boys usually are not thoughtful enough to pass on compliments.
Good Luck

i'm 5*9 and float between sw 187, cw = 150-154 depending on the day . i'd like to add more muscle and tone. i thought my GW would be 145 but i'm happy here.

pics are on my profile

Do you lift weights? I was mostly an 8 or 10 about 2 years ago when all I did for exercise was run (although I averaged around 30 miles per week) and weighed around 155. I'm now between 150 and 153 lbs and wear 4s and 6s. It's ALL about the weight lifting! It really isn't about the weight on the scale, or the height for that matter - it's about body composition. I have really slender wrists, calfs and ankles, but I also have a HUGE head - "One size fits all" does not apply to me - and I have big feet (size 11).

For a lot of you women, I think you'll be surprised after you lose more weight that the body you thought was big-framed, really isn't. Maybe not, because obviously people do have bigger frames, but it was very surprising to me how much smaller I became when the composition of my body changed, when for most of my life I considered myself bigger framed.

Wow! Well done! I'm 5"10, and about 18 pounds away from your weight, I hope I look like you in 18 pounds!

Here is what 182lbs looks like on a 5'11" frame. Yes, I have 20 pounds (ish) to go, and some toning up to do, but I'm certainly not too upset about how my body looks....especially since I have 2 boys!

BUMP!

I am 5ft 9 and I started off at 230lb. I now weigh 174 and I don't wan't to lose much more, feel too skinny. I'm a british size 8 on top and a 10 on my bum. BIG difference!

five eight and three quarters and about 150 lbs right here....i started at 186....i love myself at my current weight =] im not too skinny but i feel confident in anything i wear and its nice to be in single digit pant sizes again!!

I am 5'9 and was at 180 after my baby. I have now met my goal weight after many years of healthy eating!! MFP helped me loose the last 10lbs and will hopefully help me keep it off!

OMG this thread is AWESOME!!!

I'm 5'10 and just started in jan. SW= 229 CW=217 GW=175 (and will then re-evalute and see if I want to go further!)..... so yeah, quite a way to go still!!

I am fairly happy though, the weight that I have lost has been without exercise. Once my dodgey ankle has recovered, I fully intend to smash into those workouts and watch the weight melt off.

You are all absolutely amazing! I'm going to save posting pictures until I have an 'after' to go with the (awful and cringeworthy ) 'before'!!

:D:D you ladies make me smile and keep me going
