in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I just joined this site a couple of days ago, but I've been actively losing weight since early last year. I'm 5'10 1/2, down 35 lbs, and have about 20 more to lose. I've never used a phone app/site to help me lose weight, but so far, it's been great motivation. I log on everyday and update frequently.

Anyone can feel free to add me, but I'd really like to add ladies who are around my height.

    I'm 5'9 and I've recently reset my account so I don't look like I've lost anything but I've lost 6 this year (it was a good idea for me to reset personally). I've set my current goal at a 30 lb loss.

    I'm 5'10" and have a lot to loose. I just started MFP a couple days ago, looking for some support. I'm focusing less on how much i have to loose and more on making changes for a healthier lifestyle.

    I did something similar, I've actually lost a lot more, but decided to start my account based on how much weight I have left to lose instead of how much I've lost total.

    Hi, I'm 6' tall and aiming to lose 10 kilos which is 22 pounds I think. Started 2 weeks ago and still quite enjoying it :)

    I just posted almost the same message this morning. I also feel that for tall girls it's a totally different ball game. If I hear one more person say "you are lucky you are tall, cause you carry wieght well" i may just go culumbo on them. LOL :-) COngrats on your weight loss! That is awesome it sounds like you and I are reaching for the same weight loss goal. I'm looking to lose 50 and am down 20 so far.

    I am 5'10" with 75 lbs to lose. I've been on MFP for about a month and am still motivated (that has to be a record in itself!!).

    I'd love to have more friends on here.

    There is a tall women forum, although not very active

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/126-tall-women


    I agree that it is different for us. All our numbers are different. My goal weight is my shorter friends obese weight, I had to reconcile within myself that I will never be 120lbs (I could be, but I wouldn't look or be healthy, plus it would be a full time job to stay there).

    I'm 5'9"+ some. I 've lost 45 pounds total since September. I'm pretty new to MFP. Not sure what my final goal will be. But I am 4 pounds to the goal I first set, and that is a normal BMI.
