    Hey! You've got me by a whole quarter inch. I am not small boned (average, long boned?) so I think our goal will be different in that respect. Also, I weighed in at 241 this morning. I had Vertical Sleeve surgery on October 1st and have lost 57 lbs so far.
    I REALLY need to do more exercise than I do now. I have a mostly sedentary job (I'm a Librarian in a Men's Prison) where I spend the majority of my time on the computer. I want to be stronger, not flabbier.
    I just started logging all the food I eat on MFP yesterday and it seems pretty simple so far. I used to use SparkPeople a few years ago & it's good too, but a lot of people from my surgery forum use MFP so I figured I'd try it.
    I have been VERY lucky in that the surgery seems to have put the brakes on my sweet tooth (and I had it BAD! My Dad made sugar for a living!). Seriously, I don't really crave sugar at all, except I have to put a little Truvia sweetener in my tea. MUCH less than I used to put in my coffee though!
    I agree with you that it is really a different thing to compare body types at such different heights. it doesn't matter how thin I ever get, I'm ALWAYS gonna feel huge next to someone who is 5'1"!

    Well there are alot of great things about being tall.. althoughg at a heavier weight you dont look it.. compared to a shorter person.. and yes i always feel big beside someone..but mostly just tall..and i love being tall..just bodies definatly are different... so hoo rah lets do this summer is coming and theres no reason not to do this for ourself..just got to dig and find mr will power...lol.. I honestly think the tracker is going to help.. i dont cook meals for myself.. only my family.. when they go away i eat very poorly.. and i think my body is in a starvation mode.. so im kinda scared to be eating 1500 calories.. i think ill explode..and hopefully i wont..lol... maybe ill do a weigh in at 2 weeks
