Tall girls-5'9" n over - Page 2 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Everyone's goals are amazing. It doesn't matter 2 me about the number on the scale, I want a healthy BMI and I want to feel good. That's all that really matters: Health and Happiness. We all deserve it. It can b hard finding clothes for tall n curvy women. Curves are sexy. I think designers should consider this when making clothes. If anybody needs support, I am here. I hope I can have the same in return. Tall women are fabulous!!!

I'm 5'9 and ultimately want to get down to 145 and see how it feels. I picked 145 because I want to weigh less than my best friend (how vain

). He is about 5'8 and 150ish. Way too many people who see us together assume that he MUST be my brother or some other relative (rofl... he's Mexican and I'm very white with red-blond hair). I know I'll never be dainty because of my frame, but eventually I'd like to feel less like an Amazon.

I'm 5'10 ... I weigh 167-170 depending on the day right now lol. I've been maintaining here for a few months now.
I have NO booty what-so-ever

so sad. I carry (i think) a lot of weight in my belly still so I'd like to lose that. Maybe another 10-15 pounds or so?

6'3" over here. Nest, where is your profile pic from? I'm about 188 right now (need to update the ticker but haven't the heart!) and have tiny bones so I need to lose about 20 pounds. The end is in sight!

Blujean- I have no clue where the picture is actually from. I set up my stuff from my phone which had, conveniently (<--- sarcasm), erased all 500 pictures on my SD card so I just picked one of the preloaded ones!

I have a question for all you tall ladies who have lost a lot of weight. I know all of our shapes are different and that changes how clothes fit us and what sizes fit us. Out of curiosity though what weights were you at when you were say an 18? a 16? 12? etc.

Ramra · 07-23-2011, 04:24 AM

I'm 5'9", pear shaped, and I think I was a size 18 at 240, 16 at 210, 14 at 190, 12 at 175, and currentlyI'm a size 10 at 165.

I'm curious to see what size I'll be at goal. It'd be awesome to be out of the double digits. (:

I'm 5'9" and went back up to my starting point of 190. Right now I am in a size 14. I would love to be a size 10.

Sizes are so wierd! At 243 I was in a 14 for pants. Right now I am in 12s. When I was about 220-200 I was in 9/10s. I keep most of my weight above the waistline though. Regardless of weight I have troubles with shirts. No matter how much weight I lose I don't lose from my chest. Not complaining but it is frustrating at times to look so, uh, top-heavy!

BassAckwards · 07-23-2011, 09:50 AM

I was in a 18/16 at my highest weight around 225. At 170-167 now I wear a 10/12

Scarlett · 07-23-2011, 11:19 AM

Same at 225 I wore a 16/18

200 = 14/16

185 = 12/14

175 = 10/12 and thats the thinnest I've ever been

hotHealthy4life · 07-23-2011, 11:29 AM

I'm glad there are so many tall girls here!
I'm also 5'9'' and my goal is about 145-ish lbs .
I'm 174lbs at the moment and I wear European size 44/46 which would be equivalent to US 14/16 or UK 16/18.
I would love to be 38/40 size one when I lose the weight (8/10 US an 10/12UK)

And gals, I have a question for you. I'm just starting out and I'm not exactly sure how many calories should I eat? I'll be exercising 45-60mins daily (not vigorously, I'm a beginner exerciser, so I'll see how much I can handle). I calculated that with 1700-1800cal a day I still can have 500+ calories of deficit, but that number sounds like a lot, I usually see people on a diet eating 1200-1500kCal tops.... Help,please!

LongTallBee · 07-23-2011, 12:24 PM

Well, I'm almost 6'2, and I'm at 233 and wearing a loose 18 pant, so I could probably jump into a 16. My shirt size is a L. My sister is a bit shorter than me and my same weight, and she wears a 14/16 pant.

SMSDREAMER2007 · 07-23-2011, 01:47 PM

definitely interesting looks like even among girls about the same height sizes arent anymore consistent! I am 265 lbs 5'10" and about an 18/20 atm.

I carry most of my weight in my hips and rear end. I can't wear low rise jeans because I feel like my butt is always hanging out. I wear my jeans right below my belly button (on the verge of mom jeans haha).
