Girls 5'10 + needed as friends/weight loss stories

Options
Hi

I am a 6ft girl from the UK i have been on here for over a year been a lot more serious about it since January. I have lost 18 pounds but have a total of 72 pounds to lose.

I seem to have halted for 3 weeks and i am frustrated!!!

I would like to hear your success stories and hear your inspirational journeys! I would love to have some more friends who are tall girls so i can see what your diaries are like and get an idea if I am on the right track!

Thanks!!

    I saw 5'10" and thought my 5'8" might be in the ballpark, but I can't compete with 6ft. :) But here's a bump anyway. :) Good luck!

    I'm definitely not a tall girl, 5' 3" ha, but you are welcome to add me. I have about 83 pounds to lose and my journey has barely started. I began working out 5-6 days a week and eating better at the end of January. I've lost 17 pounds so far. I know I am on the right track, even though the weight loss has slowed down a bit. It can get really frustrating but it will be worth it if we just stick to it! I am currently doing Insanity. When I finish I plan on doing Ripped in 30 before starting my second round of Insanity.

    You can do it! MFP is very helpful and encouraging.

    Hi!

    I'm 5'10 from the UK...been on MFP for a year now, and 60 lb down, 16 lb to go. I've lost count of the number of plateau's and stalls in my weight loss in that time...the longest was over two months. I also gained back 7 lb OVERNIGHT one night in December for no apparent reason and had to lose it 1 lb at a time, all over again! :explode:

    Am always happy to have new friends to support and cheer on if anyone wants to add me. I always do my best to interact with everyone on my friends list :flowerforyou:

    I am 5' 10.5" I was 237 @ my heaviest. I am trying to get back to a healthy weight (ideally 175.) I have lost 11 lbs. so far, need to drop another 40-50. I can't dine with friends who aren't eating healthy, I can't shop with my shorter girl friends who all wear single digit sizes. I could really use the support of other Tall Ladies who understand that my goal of a size 12 is normal, not huge. Even getting back into a 14 would be a victory. Feeling a bit isolated in my fitness journey.

    I am 5'11 and I have lost 100lbs since my highest weight of 298. 72 of them have been since October 1st, 2012, when I joined MFP. Feel free to add me. My diary is open to my friends, but I am not an adherent of perfectly clean eating, so you'll see some junk food and high sodium days. For me, this is a lifestyle change and I am not willing to give up treats for the rest of my life. I think more in the terms of a weekly average deficit, so I have some under days and some over days. I have been toying with the idea of a spike day or even trying Intermittent Fasting, but I haven't plateaued yet... I believe in the old saying: if it works, don't fix it.
