Hello! I am having my surgery tomorrow (!!!) and I am 5'10". HW 297, surgeon says he thinks i can get down to 150. Doesn't sound doable to me, so I thought I'd see if there are any tall women out there who can share their success stories with me! I'm shooting for 175 and will go from there....I'd love to hear your stories!

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'm 5"10 and started at 275lbs now 165lbs. I would love to be 150lbs! Over a year out - recent pic

You look great! Did you work out?

I'm 6'1 or 2 depending on the office or gym. My starting weight was 356 with no liquid diet, I am currently 272 and my goal is 220-215 or a size 10-12. I eat around 2000 calories per day and work out 5-6 days per week. I'm almost 9 months post op and feel really good. I can eat though. I always wonder if my sleeve can handle more due to length...any way I think for my size I'd be considered a slow lower but I'm ok with how things are since I've yet to have a bad case of saggy skin and I still lose about 10 pounds every other month.

Hw 302

Cw 243

5'9"

Doc says 168

When I was skinny .155lbs I was boney

That's awesome Donna! I had surgery dec 9th. Down 24 lbs Hw 297. I think I will shoot for 180-170 too. We'll see how things feel once I get there. My thinnest as an adult was 190 and I felt amazing and quite thin even though I was a 12-13 size pants. I look at pictures from then and yeah there's a little belly left to lose.... Can't wait to have that problem! To lose more or maintain? That is the question!

I'm 5'11" and currently 183. My goal is 175. I recently had a body composition test done using a bioimpedance device and it showed that my lean body weight (bone plus muscle plus water) was 133.2. If you're a female you should have at least 20% body fat, so the lowest I should go is 160. I'm also 48, so a little bit more fat will make me look younger. Here's a body pic from last night.

YOU LOOK AWESOME HONEY !!!!

I'm not "tall". My legs are short, but my torso is longish. I'm like 5.6-5.7? I started at 238 and at last scale I was 208. My problem is I'm all boobs. I always have been. I went from a 42DDD to now 38DDD.

I wouldn't care so much if they were up on my chest like they used to be. My hubs says if I get to my goal weight and hold it he'll "buy" me a new set!

Actually I dint want them any larger. I just wNt them lifted and firmer. ?de1c

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.
