Hey there Amazon Goddesses :bigsmile:

I'm so happy to see so many of you have joined already :heart:

We finally have the much promised Groups function & this is a great way for us TTW's to start discussion relating to our weight loss & fitness journeys & the related height specific issues & problems.

    I'm so glad that you started this group! I have been having the hardest time figuring out what I want my goal weight to be. I try to compare myself to others on MFP, but then I find out they are 5 feet tall,lol!!

    i was lucky and found the TTW thread very soon after joining MFP :happy: it makes a HUGE difference when you surround yourself with people who are similar to you in their goals. Not that i have anything agains short people (who am i kidding... of course i do! haha it is WAY better to be tall)... :tongue:

    This is awesome...I liked the thread on the boards, but it was hard keeping up with cause it was one long conversation.
    Thanks for starting this group!!

    Being on MFP for a bit, I kept seeing the TTW pic in some people's signature- knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. Thanks for having me!!! :)

    I've been getting back to logging my food/exercise for the last 15 days! I am trying to get all of this Summer weight off by the end of this year. With the Holidays coming I don't want to add anymore weight on top of that!!! :ohwell:

    Hope you tall Ladies are having a great day!

    point in case - my fiance's (who is 6'6") ex-wife of 8 years is 5'2" on a good day!!! WTF?! He went from 5'2" and brunette to 6'2" and platinum blonde. I'd say his taste has improved since age 19!! :noway:

    Love that we are now a Group!! The weird thing is that I tried to search groups, but this group didn't show up! Anyone know why?

    Hi Ladies! Is it okay if I join?? I am 'only' 5'8" but I wear 2 inch clogs most days so does that count:wink:

    Seriously I am hoping maybe seeing how much people more my height eat will help me figure a way to bust through my plateau which has been going on for about 11 mos!!!
    I have tried eating anywhere from 1600cals/day up to 2100 per day and just lose and gain the same few pounds with a gradual upward trend:grumble:
    my bodymedia device averages my daily burn at 2500 so I recently increased cals to 2150-2200 per day and giving that a go for a few weeks.

    How much do you all eat per day????

    also I wokout usually 6 days per week, running 5 days and lifting 2 days...
