Any tall girl out there who wants to lose 40lbs?

I'm 5'11, and I need to lose 40lbs.... anyone want to be a motivator/friend? my old motivator/workout buddy was my 5'2, 107lbs friend..didn't work out too well and losing weight is hard by yourself.

    Hello, I'm 5'10 and trying to lose 50 lbs and then reassess if I want to lose any more. Down 20 so far, and I'm on MFP every day. I'll send you a friend request, it'd be great to have others who are in a similar boat for motivation.

    Anyone else is free to add me too! :)
  • I didn't realize there were so many tall girls on here! This is great!

    I'm 6' 3" and went from division-1 basketball player to married/mom and gained about 60 pounds. I've got 35 down, I'd like to take off another 30. Of course my knees are shot, so finding creative ways to burn calories is always... fun? The elliptical is my BFF and still learning how to weight train as someone who is not a full-time athlete. Give me an add!!! I only have 2 friends on here!

    28 year old mom of 2 boys (2 and 4) and a full-time teacher.
  • Hi! :D

    I'm Helen, 5'10" and about 15kg (30+lb) to lose.

    I'm on here everyday and would love some tall friends! xx

    Add me! I'm six foot even. I've been as much as 272 (gasp!) in 2007, down to 198 about a year ago. I was lazy and pitiful and put 35 pounds back on last summer/fall. I'm about half way back down. Have toyed with the idea of actually getting to the "BMI" I'm supposed to be (185ish), but will wait and see how I feel back in ONEderland. I was very happy with myself at 198.

    Best of luck!

    Its interesting reading this..because i was as heavy as 230 when I noticed how "terrible" I looked... I got down as low as 189... got lazy and put it back on... I am at 208ish now...but I was thirlled when I hit 198 the first time...I was like sweet, I shall never go back again...until I thought I could eat whatever the heck I wanted lol..

    This is a good idea...a group.... I imagine it might not be too hard to create one... theres got to be an option when your in the message boards main screen...I always see mine in that area anyway (when I was in groups).... totally down to join a group...need all the motivation/suppot I can get---helps when people are working towards similar goals!!
