Question for all you Tall Ladies...

JoyousMaximus

I'm 5'10" and eat about 1800 calories regardless of exercise. (Yes, I am one of the stubborn ones that maintains the eating exercise calories in unnecessary unless you do very intense workouts which I don't.) The maintenance calories for a sedetary woman at my goal weight (150lbs) is 1800 so I try to maintain that as a lifestyle change as opposed to a weightloss program. So far it's working.

Finally a thread I can really relate to!! :laugh:
I'm 5'10" and eat 1600 per day without exercise for a 1.1 lb/week loss, with exercise I eat 1800-1900. My hardest workouts are ~400 cals so I do eat most of those exercise cals back. My goal weight is 170-175lbs.
Good luck everyone

YAY! Tall women! I'm 5'11" and am 170 lbs right now trying to get down to 150.

MFP has my calories set at about 1500 cal per day, but I usually eat at least half my exercise calories so I'm usually eating anywhere from 1500-1800 a day.

I'm so happy that I found this thread, since I feel as though my body is not the "norm"

We should keep it up!

Would you guys be interested in starting a group? Maybe in the Motivation & Support section?

Oh gosh, this thread is cracking me up! I'm 5'10" (6'1" when I wear my hoochie boots, which I do with PRIDE!) and my cals are set at 1,900 with no exercise. With exercise, I average about 2200 a day. So far, I'm losing about 2.5 lbs a week (I have ALOT to lose.) If I go much below 2000, I feel like I'm going to fall over from hunger.

Good luck, fellow Amazons.:drinker:
