    I am 5'9", and I have about 90lbs to lose. I struggle with some of the same things, emotional eating, eating out of boredom, ect. Feel free to add me, any of you! I could use more accountability!

    Oh my goodness!! I am in SHOCK! I thought I was the only 6-footer (okay, almost 6-footer) who has LOTS of weight to lose. I am blown away at the number of tall women! And so many have great success! WOWZA!

    I am at 280 (down from 305) and am really struggling with keeping to the program. I for a little bit, then lose interest and slack off. Same issues as many have mentioned - emotional eating and eating out of habit, not hunger.
    Patience is a challenge. I have had to re-start many times and each time I think I'm in good habits, I fall off the wagon.

    Please add me - especially if you can help with a kick in the butt!

    Great tips on shopping - thank you! I love the workout pants from Champion. They come almost all the way down to my ankle. Champion Plus Stretch Cotton Leggings available on justmysize.com

    Thanks all!

    Hi, I am 5'11 and previously lost 66lbs here on MFP. I then managed to put 20 of them back on again so am back to get rid of the 20 plus another 25. I'd love to have tall friends so if anyone would like to add me please do!

    I am 5'11, I started out weight 326 and a size 26, I have lost nearly 88 pounds, and now I wear a size 16. I am not sure what my goal weight should be? Any suggestions?

    I'm about 5'9" - 5'10". I've lost 60lbs. I'd like to lose another 50 I think. I hear ya on the clothing thing. The only pair of jeans I had that were actually long enough are now too big. "Knee length" dresses are mid thigh on me (too short for a 40yo :P). I love to wear heels, but then I'm so much taller than the boys and the girls that it's just weird.

    I might be a bit late to this discussion!
    I'm 5'10 and I have 70lbs to lose as my registered goal at the moment but I set it conservatively because I've never been that low so it might be 80-85lbs total!

    The main difficulty I find is not knowing what my goal weight will be as a tall lady - people keep telling me I'll look weird if I lose too much!
