    I can't believe I missed this thread back in June! So many great success stories/pictures.

    I was actually planning on taking progress pics on Saturday so I'm saving this thread and I'll come back and post them then.

    Thank you to everyone for those pictures. I see that I need to take some too, to contribute here. It's both inspiring and helpful to see what your georgeous tall frames can look like.

    Rats, I tried uploading my profile photos onto a website program (Flickr), and the embedded codes don't have "IMG" on the front or on the back. I am clueless how to show photos! But if you click on my avatar, you can see my photos. I am 5' 10", started nearly a year ago (November 2010) at 221, am now down to 149, a loss of 72 lbs. My current photo on my avatar shows me at about a 65 pound loss, so I've lost a bit more since then, and feel fantastic.

    I was hoping against hope last November to lose maybe 40 pounds. I was 48.5 years old, and wanted to get down to some sort of normal range before I was 50, and thought "well, I'm almost 50, I'll never get down to "thin", I just want to be normal!". Within 4 months, I had lost 40 pounds. Within 6 months, I had lost about 60. I was ecstatic. Now I think I am at a lower weight than I was in high school. If I remember, I was a size 12 in high school, and now I'm fitting into size 8's. Single digit sizes!

    I don't think I was EVER in the 140's (well, maybe in 8th grade!!!)....my goal has been met, but now I'm thinking if I can get to 145, that's a bit over 75 pounds lost and gives me some wiggle-room for fluctuating.

    Well done you look fantastic!
    I LOVE this thread! I am 6' tall and wanna share my pictures with you... I'm not done with my journey but these show most of my progress. The first picture is my dad & I in fall of 2006, when I weighed 292 and hadn't begun my weight loss yet. The second picture is my dad & I on the day I got my degree (May 2011) and weighed about 187. I lost 105 pounds the slow/steady way over 5 years and am incredibly proud of myself!! Since then, I have lost another 7 pounds

    I know what you mean. I am 5'9'' and weigh 130 lbs. I look good at 130 but start to look heavy at about 140. These other women look absolutely fabulous at 180 lbs.... lucky girls!!! I don't know why, I think you are right about body frame and how a person carries their weight - you know like how well it is distributed versus carrying wight all in one or two places (buns & tummy).
