    Yay for other tall ladies! 6'1" as well. I'm about 30 pounds from my starting weight, and I've just now gone from a comfortable 20 to a comfortable 18. And it's taken 4-5 months. I think that's part of what makes it so hard... it takes SO LONG to see ANY progress at all that it makes you feel like you're getting NOWHERE.

    I'm throwing my voice in for the "it takes FOREVER to drop a size" club.

    I'm down 60lbs, still wearing a lot of the same clothes. Granted, they're mostly made of stretchy materials and they were probably much too tight when I started. But it's still disheartening sometimes.

    On July 1st I posted the following: I am also 6'1". 53 yr old female. Currently weigh 317. Would like to weigh 190.

    Today, 5 weeks later, I weigh 304. I have lost 13lbs. But I see no difference in the mirror or in the way my clothes fit. It will probably take another 20 to 30lbs to notice a difference. The can be discouraging, but I keep on keep'n on. I know eventually a noticeable change will occur. It just sometimes takes longer for us tall gals.

    I am 6'1" also.

    GW cut to 165, then bulk to probably 170-175

    I agree on the forever to lose a size. Still wearing the same clothes. I hope by the time Fall comes, I can wear smaller clothes from my closet. Also no one has noticed I've lost weight, which I'm mostly fine with. I also have huge swimmer's shoulders, so I'll never fit into fitted tops smaller than L.
