Tall Women, Tell Me Your Story!

[deedadumble 1,033]

Wow. Amazing results. So are you ladies working out? If so, what's your workout regimen? I've heard some people never working out some I'm curious. I do 30-40 mins of cardio 4x weekly and my surgery is next month. Also how are you eating? Are you doing low carb diets? I weigh 290 at 5'8-9" and would like to get to 160ish... Any help or tips would be great!!!!!

I started the Couch to 5K running program in February when I was 245lbs. Since then I have run 3 5K races and 2 10K races. I'm training for a half marathon now and ran 8 miles this morning. I feel great, but really have to balance getting my nutritional needs met for running and still being able to lose. I am 181 and have 6 pounds to go to meet my goal weight. I love running because all I need are good shoes.

My plan is 60+g of Protein, 60+ou of Water and 60+ min of exercise. I don't log or watch carbs, but I try to stay away from processed foods because they make me feel like crap. I eat Protein first (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, boiled eggs, and chicken) and veggies second.

Im 5'8" and my CW is 290. I do not want to be any less from 175-180

Mine said the same thing. Guess I will just have to see when I get there! I had my surgery 12/9- HW 297, SW 287, CW 271. I am 5'10".

My surgeon just set a 160lb goal for me...Im 5'9. I am good with 170. We shall see!

[HipsAndLipstick 69]

well I had my 1st born at 16 and when I became pregnant I was 167lbs and was skinny dipping. I see pictures and I say "omg I was so skinny" that's why Im aiming at 180 at least.

I'm 5'9"

In high school I was 160 and I do look gaunt in pictures. I am big boned so I'm going to be shooting for 175-180

[taylokat 180]

I'm 5'10", starting weight was 252. I'm 8 months post op and now 179, my goal is 170 because that will put my BMI under 25. Currently my BMI is 25.8. If I never lost another pound I'd still be the happiest person in the world! I'm wearing size 10 jeans (sometimes size 8) and medium tops. I finally feel NORMAL!!

[taylokat 180]

Wow I don't think I can do 150 I'm 5'9 my dr said 175 - 180. Thought that was still a little high but 150 I think will be to thin for my height? We will see. Scheduled for 12/30

Personally I think it would be too thin. I'm 5'10" and 179. My goal is 170. I'm a size 10 pants, medium top. I'm amazed at how good I feel!

Oh how I hope so!! What as your exercise regimen and did you follow the high protein/low carb diet? I am trying - during the holidays it's been sooo hard though

[da1stladie 63]

Readbean I do protien first then veggies. Not too many starches as in no corn and pototoes about once a week. bread once a week. I'm in the maintenance phse so It's still trial and error. I make a conscience effort to eat or I lose more weight. Happy weight range 166-170. You can do this. Remember it is a weight loss journey not a sprint.

[ReDbEaN 654]

I do Protein first, but at 4 months out I am nowhere near goal. I will just keep it up:)
