What is your height?



Recommended Posts

I'm 5'6 and I think I have settled on 170-180 for my goal weight. It depends on how I feel and look.

I am 5'10.5" but I used to be and inch and 1/4 taller but it seems as my weight increased my height decreased. My goal is 155 which I was back in the late 90s before a mountain biking accident claimed my health.

Why is it that the majority of the people answering this question are taller than average women? I find that interesting.

I'm just under 5'7" and would be thrilled to be in the 150 - 170lb range. I'm just looking forward to when my weight starts with a 1!

I call myself 5'9" but I'm actually 5'8 1/4". My goal is 175 but I would be happy under 200. I'm at 275 right now. Only 9 days post op.

Wow -- lots of tall women!

My goal is 5'6"

Oh, I can't do that

OK, I'm 5'2" on a good day and my goal is 140-150. I told a dr 130 once and she laughed. She said I won't ever see that weight again due to my age.

I'm 5' 9" - used to be 5' 10" Hmmmm.

My goal weight is 150, but honestly, if I get to 180 I'll be very happy.

150 is my dream weight. At 150 I can wear junior size 11 pants, I'm super-model skinny and feel like I own the world! At 180, I'll be amazing!

How's that for attitude?

THANKS FOR ASKING THIS QUESTION!!!!! I wish everyone would put their height in their signature line with their other stats. It makes a big difference.

I'm 5'3" and my goal is between 135-145. But, even if I make it to 150, I would be happy! I once weighed 158 when I was in college and thought I looked really curvy and sexy and no one looking at me would ever say I was heavy. Anything below 150 would be unbelievable.

Fun post!! I am 5'7'' and would LOVE to be 150 lbs!!! However I met my boyfriend at 160 lbs and felt very sexy/curvy at that weight too. So anywhere b/w 150-165 depending on how I feel. I DO NOT want to be bony looking!!

You guys are giving me a complex. I feel like a Pygmy. I'm 4' 11 1/2 ". My doctor uses 5' to calculate my BMI because that's as low as his chart goes. It says I should weigh under 120. I'm about 129 right now. I wear size 2 and 4 petite and am beginning to have trouble finding age appropriate clothes that fit me.

By the way, I think sizes have drastically changed in the last 20 years. When I weighed 120 years ago, I wore a size 10.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
