ANyone 5"11" or above?

[cindyn 0]

I am curious how many are at my height. I need to lose 90 to 100 pounds. I am 5' 11". I am still waiting for my date and official approval. THis is the best website I have found!! I was on last night for an hour or so just looking at the inspiring before and after shots.

If I work the band, what do you you all think will be a good amount to count on losing in a year from my surgery? (dreaming a bit here!)

Here is a thread where people told their heights.

I'm 5'11'' and I'm shooting for 180-200, although I'll be just fine at 200, but I have a large frame and I've always been "big" - muscular - so I don't want to get to the 170-180 the Doctor has recommended or the - God forbid - 165 it would take to get my BMI in ideal range. Ick, I'd look like a sickly twig!

Your weigth loss depends entirely on you and how you choose to eat and exercise. I am 2 months out of surgery and I lost 30 lbs the first 4 weeks, then it came to a screeching halt for another 7 weeks, even after my first fill. I went in for a second fill earlier than planned and have begun losing again. I'm sure I would spped things along big time if I exercised, but truth is I have been really awful with that, so it's coming off slowly now.:guess

Good luck!

Im" down 119 pounds. I think if you let your band take you to your physcal limits when you get it.It's as much as you want to lose and are willing to fallow e guide line's you could lose 150 plus! good luck.

I'm 5-10 so almost, I'm shooting for around 150. I'm at about 195 now and waaaaaay too fat still, can only shop certain places (though no longer just plus stores), wanted to kill myself after trying on swimwear today kinda thing.

I'd say I'll end up shedding around 90lb total too - I've lost half of that in six months, but I dont think I'll lose the other half by the end of this year, its s-l-o-w now no matter what I do and I am busting my butt running and have started doing weight training too now.

I am 5'11". I get banded on the 1st of August. I need to loose about 150 lbs. The good thing is the weight is harder to see when you are soooo tall! lol....

Good luck!

6'2 and shooting for 199 i just want to be in onederland. my goal is 100 lbs 1st year. That is an average of 2 lbs per week which is a healthy weight loss rate... Good luck

At one time I was 5`11, now I am coming in at 5`10. Maybe that weight holding me down a little? I am hoping in the range of 180 to 200, and get my inch back!

6'1" here and looking to be 230ish. I don't care if I'm in onederland. hehehe. I just want twoferland! I would be very comfy around 230.

Wheetsin, I shrank for a while to 5ft 9 and have grown again to 5ft 10. I had all these theories about my discs being compressed by the weight but the ladies at my clinic put me straight.

When your fatter your big bum stops you getting close enough to the wall to be measured properly, you have to lean back to put your back and head against the measuring stick. When you're lighter your bum doesnt stick out as far and you can stand at the measuring stick properly. That's why you appear to shrink as you get fatter.

I'm 5'11 and my doc said I should be shooting for 220-225 which would put me right in between 20 and 25% fat mass.

After I reach my doctors goal, I'll probably shoot for 200 if I feel I need to lose any more.

I'm 6' and the doctor says I need to aim for around 175-190.

I was down to 225 once a few years back....I think 200 would be a good weight for my height, but I will try for the range the doctor thinks best.
