    Woo hoo! Tall girls unite! I think the hardest thing for us is to realize that when you're our height, you can't weigh 110 punds like eveybody else! Well, you can, but then somebody will be wanting to question your eating habits. One of my best friends is 6'2" and she weighs 160, Can we say model thin? The thing you have to take into consideration is your overall body type. She has what may be termed as a boy build, slender hips, no rear and small chested. She use to weigh 300 lbs. When you look at pictures of her then, you wouldn't think she weighed that much. She overweght sure, but it doesn't look like 140 pounds worth. Now put that amount of weight on a girl who is 5'2". Woo hee! Yep that's a big difference!

    I'm 5'10',large framed and curvy. Yep, a nightmare in the fashion world. Trying to get a pair of jeans that fit is a pain in the boo-tay!
    Legs are too short, gaps in the waist, tight in the thighs. Even the jeans that are "made" for full figured women, (which is what I currently am), don't fit. Blargh!

    So, to all my TALL sisters, keep the faith, let's get in right shape for our height and bone structure, and if you find a pair of jeans that fits, share the love and the brand name!

    Just over 6 ft here. Glad to see someone else comment that it requires more weight loss to drop sizes, etc.

    Exactly why I wanted to find others.

    I am 5'9" and wish I were taller! It feels like I carry my length all in my torso and have short, stumpy legs. To be 5'9" with stumpy legs is tragic. ;-). Feel free to add me.

    Hi! I'm 6'0" and currently 162lbs (down from HW of 214lbs).
    I'm pretty happy where I am; focusing on weights and maybe getting down to around 155lbs.
    It'd also be nice to have a size 8 the largest size I wear (currently an 8/10).
    If anyone wants to be friends, just send me a message!

    I'm 5'11", which is why even at 230 lbs. I don't feel like I look THAT bad....but I certainly don't look that good either, lol. Thus why I'm here.

    I'm 5'9" although I feel pretty average due to my family all being tall, both the women and the men.

    I am 170 cm. (5'7)
    That's tall for where I grew up in the north since most the girls in my home town is around 160 cm (5'3).
    So I always felt like the tall, big elephant in the crowd.
    Then I moved down south and suddenly I was normal, even a bit shorter than some. :-)

    I started working out and eating better this year after ten years of lazy life.
    Planning to loose 25 kg. (55 lbs)
    Lost 12 kg so far. (26.5 lbs)
