    Hi there!

    I am 6'0, and I started last summer here at about 238. I left MFP due to stress and lost about 20 or so on my own. I've been back here for 2 months and I'm hovering right at 200 now! I'd like to get down to about 165lbs, but depending on how I look I may stop at 170 or go down to 160.

    Welcome aboard!

    I'm 5' 10" and started at 221, and am now at 145, down 75+ pounds. I also turned 50 this year, too, so I'm very pleased that I'm probably the thinnest (and feel like the healthiest) I've ever been!!!

    I am 6' and started this year at 219 lb. I am down 9 pounds and will work to 180 lb. I will assess myself at 180 if I need to lose more. I've been losing about 2 lbs per week. I started about 4 weeks ago. I've never been so determined in my life to lose weight! Why? Because I was always slim until about 7 years ago!!! I feel soooo good with the 9lbs off already!!! Let's keep in touch!:laugh: :laugh:

    there's a group here on MFP -- called Totally Tall Women, or TTW. i've met a lot of amazing ladies there, and most of us, since we're tall, have some bigger pound losses than the shorties out there :)
    feel free to friend me, i'm 5'11" and have lost 55-ish pounds since last August. shooting for ONEderland!! :)

    Dunno if 5'8" is considered "tall", but... I started at 258 end of March, down to 236 as of today. Fifty lbs to go. Your success stories are inspiring!!
