*Stands on tiptoes* I'm ft 9 and a half, can I join in too?
I'm currently 179.6 lbs (down from 196) and roughly a UK 16, although I've not bought new jeans yet I'm having to belt my 18's tightly and they are looking baggy. I'm doing 5:2 and loving it.
Anything under 154 (11stone) and I start to look scrawny!

I'm 6'2" and was recently weighed at the hospital by a nurse, prior to my regular checkup.

So this nurse... 4ft nothing, Scottish and solid may I add... she stares up at me after the scale spits out a reading. She has the oddest look on her face, like she's just caught a whiff of some faecal matter on her shoe.

She looks at me and says : "You're twelve stone." The 'stone' part has particular emphasis. She lingers on it more than the other words for some reason, then stares at me as if waiting for an answer.

I leave it a few moments to see if she qualifies her reaction in some way. She doesn't.

"Was that a question?" I ask.
"Well no dear, but that's quite a lot!" she gasps.

My under-5-foot grandmother used to always make comments about how much I was eating and how it was too much. I'm 6'1". Guess what? I'm going to eat more than her.

Haha yup. A larger engine needs more fuel to maintain it, pure and simple. But occasionally you find someone at the other end of the spectrum who really struggles with the maths involved.
