Any taller ladies out there?

Are there any taller ladies out there on the weight loss journey. I am 5ft 11 and started off at 12stone. My daughter very innocently called me a chubby mummy - which gave me great motivation 🤣. So far I have lost just over a stone. Just curious what your goal weight is. I’m hoping 10stone but think that’s probably a pipe dream as the last time I was that weight was when I was about 15 and I’m 53 now!!!!

Ooh, I'm the same height as you!! I have always been slim (under 10 stone usually, then under 11 stone after having kids) then a few years ago piled on loads of weight for various reasons. Got upto 16 stone something, which was awful. I'm not even 40 yet.

Knew I needed to do something drastic so started weight loss injections in October and have lost almost 3 stone since then! Now I'm at 13 stone 5 and very nearly have a healthy BMI. Hoping to get back down to 11 stone. I know I looked good then.

For what it's worth, I don't think 12 stone on your height is 'chubby', but good for you aiming to lose weight.

I was less than 9 and a half stone when I got married 7 years ago and looked FANTASTIC. But that was pre-kids. Now I'll be more than happy maintaining 11 stone or under.

So yeh - my goal weight is probably what you are now 😅 Well done.

@Worriedmotheroftwo well done you that is A huge loss since October. Another little time and you will get to your goal weight. I reckon I won’t get much below 10 and a half and that will Be very healthy for me. Best of luck with the journey
