I am 5'9. I have been anywhere from 160 to my current 224. With my athletic build, my happy place is right around 175 :]

5'8" here, started at 314 a year and a half ago, 226 now.

220 is my benchmark, after that i want to try to make it to 190 and then evaluate.

I am 5'11 1/2. I started in November @ 301, and I'm currently at 207. I'll not say I've 'made it yet' cause I have a long way to go; at least 30 more lbs..but it's slowly getting better

I'm 5'10" and started out at 249. Still have a ways to go. If I can do it, you can too.
One thing that helped me was to make little goals along the way.
Ex: When I was 249 my first goal was 225, than under 200, now its to get to my healthy BMI of 174, and hopefully down to the 150s.

I'm 5'9 and (re)starting out at 242. This is my second time starting MFP. I was down to 200 in September and then gained 60lbs (yuck!) while I was pregnant. Right now I am down to 235 and my ultimate goal is 160. Here are some pictures....in the first one was when I was at my heaviest, about 270 and the other is right around 200lbs. In the last picture I was 38 weeks along and 260. I'm super pumped about losing the baby weight and fiiiiiinally getting down to my goal weight!

I'm 5'10 (and a half!!). Started at 213lbs. Spent a year on MFP getting down to 173lbs. I have maintained this weight for a little over year, and am now getting back on track to lose a final 10-15lbs. Good luck! This site is a huge help!

Im 5'9 and started at 251. Still a bit to go, but down 55lbs so far

pmartin70 · July 2012

I am 5'8, have lost 70 pounds - right now 167. Working toward 162 as goal.

ErinBeth7 · July 2012

Still a work in progress but I'm 5'11" and started at 357, now 310 (since mid February 2012). You can do it!!

WOW!! I would never guess your were ever 300lbs!!! You look way smaller than that. Congrats on losing! That is no small feat.

I'm 5'8" I reached my all time high of 324 last month. Only down just shy 5 lbs since the beginning of July. My goal is set at 150. I haven't been there since maybe 6th grade. I was wearing about a womens 12 but was rather tall. They didn't even have to take them up much.

I will have to evaluate if my 150 goal will hold up when I get to 160-170. Women in my family seem to carry weight more like a man. We are all fairly tall women and muscular builds even under excess weight.
