I am the same height and would literally have to lose 100 lbs/45 kg to get there. I'm not saying that that's not a healthy weight for you because our frames could be very different. I just can't imagine that it would be a healthy weight for me. I've been overweight since about puberty, so I really have no solid idea of…

Hear, hear to the well fitting clothes part!! I reached my present height of 5'10" by the end of middle school, and I always felt a bit awkward looking at pics of me and my 5'2"-5'6" friends because I stuck out so much. But worse than that for me *was* the clothes thing. Pants that came in petite/average/tall lengths…

Having legs for dayyyyyyyyys. It doesn't help me in most public transportation situations and pants shopping is that much more of a *kitten*, but on the balance, I love my long legs.

I ran into that with GAP too! I thought I was going crazy.

Curaçao? In any case, I visited a friend in the Netherlands once, and it was the only place where I was among the "short" crowd at 5'10"!

What's your username?

Proportion of your body influences what clothing manufacturers consider petite/medium/tall too. I'm also 5'10" and always need the Tall cut of pants because I have long legs and a high waist.

Like others have said, I'm going in stages. Right now, it's just getting to One-derland, and that's a long ways away. I'm 5'10" with a medium build, and for some reason, 175 sounds like a good end number, even though that's still considered just overweight. (I might use body fat % instead.) I've been somewhere north of 200…

I always see better results when I strength train along with cardio. Building muscle enables more calorie burn! Congrats on your progress.

Echo that! Unfortunately I gained back too much weight to fit into my old pair. They do have a plus size line, but it's super hard to find, and I didn't like how it fit me as much as I liked the straight-size line. Now I'm relegated to Lane Bryant. It's "meh".

5'10" and U.S. size 11. Actually, my left foot is a 10.5, but it's not like that matters. Shoe shopping has been a sad nightmare since about 3 years into puberty, and at that point I wasn't much more than slightly overweight. (Was probably in the 175-180 range.) So I wonder if shedding 60 lbs from my current mid-200s would…

I went on a date once without knowing the guy's stats, and when he walked in I realized that he was MUCH shorter than me. Couldn't have been more than 5'5" to my 5'10". We had a nice conversation, but I am just not physically attracted to guys shorter than me! The taller the better! My most recent ex was 6'4", much to my…

I had a good, solid, slow weight loss of 60 lbs over 3 years by changing my lifestyle to make exercise a regular activity, and most of what I ate was food that I prepared myself. I eventually took up running, and that helped a lot. Unfortunately, I had a major setback after I went to grad school and put back on 40 lbs, and…

5'9" here. My highest weight was 277, and I lost 60 lbs over 3 years, but then this thing called "grad school" happened, and I put back on 40...and then another couple here and there. So it's going to be a long descent back to the 217, and then I've even further to go to a goal of, oh, let's say 180. Hell, just getting…

I've had successes in both Gap and Old Navy's tall line. Otherwise, I have to do a lot of leggings-under-dresses combos. I echo sandtisch's suggestion of eShakti, especially since you can customize everything. Also, I'm a big fan of ordering custom-made pieces on Etsy.

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Add me!

Throwing my (large) hat in the ring to look for my Tall Twin Sister 32 y/o 5'9" ** SW: 256 CW: 253 GW: 180 **(Well, maybe 5'9.5"...every other visit to a doctor's office seems to round me up to 5'10", but I digress)
