    6 feet even. I'm so used to feeling like there are no women as tall as me that this is he coolest thing ever to see so many in one spot! I've always hated being tall (and never worn a pair of heels), but I think what I really hate is being tall AND fat. I feel so self-conscious about my overall size. Maybe just plain tall won't be so bad once the extra weight is gone!

    I'm 6'1 and I always wear heels. Love them. My husband is 6'4 so we're a nice match! We have 4 year old twins - the boy already is the height of a 6 year old, but my daughter is small for her age.... we'll see!!! lol

    What I hate most is that apparently you can be tall OR you can be fat - apparently you cannot be both - according to the apparel industry anyway! They have finally just started making "tall" a mainstream sizing here in Canada.... but ever see any tall plus sized clothing??? I haven't. So you can get pants that fit, but they'll always look like capris. And don't even get me started on tights or pantyhose.

    I am lucky to be back into "regular" sized clothing now, so I can get the longer inseams for pants.... BUT I am also blessed with long arms and broad shoulders. Oh, and big boobs. Nothing fits unless it's big and baggy or else tight and clingy. Tall women are GORGEOUS. Why don't designers want to dress us?????

    I mean REALLY.

    Sorry - small rant....!!! lol

    I am 5'11". Guys always add an inch or two to their height. So I will ask a man how tall he is and he will say 6'1", and he will be way shorter than me! Why do guys do this? Am I the only one that has experienced this?

    I'm 5'10. For the longest time I thought I was 5'11, but it turns out the nurse who measured me at my former primary care doctor's office was just far too short to see what the little bar said for all of those years! LOL It was interesting to all of a suddent "become" an inch shorter... but I've adjusted :smile:

    I'm 5'10" :) I only wear heel when me and the hubby go out. He is over 6 feet so I feel normal with him around other than that I'm wearing runners :)

    I am 5'10 and wear heels to work almost everyday. Working in a field filled predominately filled with men, i feel like being the same height gives me an advantage! When I can look them straight in the eye, they get the point that I am their equal......not just a girl who can be "looked down on".

    Love being a tall, strong, woman!

    I'm 5'8''-ish (another "shorter" tall girl)
    All of my friends are much shorter than me though, so over the years my posture has been horrible because I find I'm always hunching over so that I don't feel like they're looking up my nose!

    Like the rest of you though, I also have a ridiculously hard time finding clothes that fit.
    I normally just stick to wearing skirts or dresses because I have a small frame, so my pants are either always way too short, or my waist band gapes so that my pants reach my ankles. Shirts are hard to find too, everything either is long enough but looks like a potato sack on me, or is fitted but looks like a crop top.

    My guy is only 5'11'', so I don't normally wear heels (although I'd love to, as I own about 36 pairs!)
    I usually just end up wearing flats everywhere.

    Hi all! I am so happy I've found this group :) I am 5'9 so I guess that makes me the shorter side of tall. I am currently in the 165-167 range and am looking to get down another 15lbs. I started at 176 back in February so I think I am making good strides. I also want to tone up a lot!
