Tall girl looking for support lol

Hi I'm 5'9 and need to lose about 150+ lbs. I'm ready to start this journey and would really love some support! I don't have anyone in my life, personally, who I can get support from. All I have is myself, and this app. I know there's many out there who want support and I will give it :)!

I'm an emotional eater and I'm done with it. The health issues, the lack of self-confidence, all of it. I'm ready to get my weight under control. It's going to be hard, because I've been overweight my entire life, but it's possible with a little support.


Anyone around my height and/or trying to lose about the same amount as I am is definitely welcome to add me :)

    I'm 5'9 and have about 50 pounds left to go, but I would have to say that I have recently learned to quit looking at what's left and look at how far we've come! We can do this! Support is definitely a key! I don't get on the pc version very often so sometimes it's hard to see group/msg board posts, so please add me if you'd like! I would love to share in the journey!

    Thanks guys! Adding and accepting, I don't really have support from my family so this is appreciated.
    Looking forward to this journey with you all!

    There are a couple tall women groups on here you can go to as well. Just search tall women and you should get at least one or two. :)

    6'0" here and only have 5-10 vanity lbs left to lose. Being tall is awesome because we get to have more food than the shorties.

    This made me laugh! Very true though, I see some of my friends only get a limit of 1,500 a day. I get 2,100 ha! Lol.

    I can't wait until my scale gets here. I had to order one because the one currently at home doesn't hold my weight -.- as soon as I know my actual weight my journey will really begin and I'm glad I'm going to have so much support!
