Hi - yup Tall, real Tall - 6 foot 1 - currently 201. My heaviest was about 245 and goal is 190-195 so I'm almost there. THe hardest part about being soo tall is finding clothes that fit well but as the weight comes off, it definitely gets easier!

I find the ideal weight ranges for Tall people are not realistic although I guess it all depends on your frame.

Hiya, my 'get into shape' journery began in January

Jan '12 - 163 lbs
Joined MFP - 154 lbs
Current Wieght - 148 lbs

Now I've lost that weight and feel super fit I'm now re-examining if I want to be this thin after all and recently I've had a couple of negative NSV comments.

I'm 41 and worry that the 'thiness' ages me, also I worry if I fell ill, I have no weight to fall back on and then worry about the kids and it goes on and on and on and on.....

Perhaps I should put some weight on but then that feels like I'm going backwards and it goes on and on and on and on.....

Hi Everyone,

I just joined this group.

I'm 6'1" and currently 194. I was 209 when I started. My goal is 170. My lowest weight as an adult was during my early 20's at 160 - the doctor was concerned and told me to gain (apparently I listed TOO well <g>). I have averaged around the 195 mark most of the time but after my 2 kids I seemed to stay at 210 ish.

I do find that finding shoes and clothes can be a struggle - there is really only 1 store that I can shop at that carries tall pants so I stick to that.

Hi I am 6'1" and I started at 206 and now weigh 190. Would love to be in the 170's

I'm between 5'9 and 5'10.
Current Weight 165
GW : 145

I am 5"11 and have 115 pounds to shed. I will post a full body pic on my profile page, but we have to be friends in order for anyone to view it.

Hello all,

I am back on MFP after a long break. I am 5,11. Started at 175 pounds with a goal of shedding 30 pounds and get to 145, have lost 12.5 so far.

I am addicted to cake, chocolate, cheese, gin, wine and being lazy. Feel free to add me. :-)

Tall ladies - I know we are all shaped very differently and someone at 6'0 can look great at 155 where my goal is 165 to 170 due to my muscular shape and I am 5'10. I have about 12 to 15 lbs to go - I started out at 258 last May when I gave birth to my 2nd son, I was wearing a 16 to 18 or XL maternity. Now I am in a size 10 pants and a medium top. It seems that many of you lovely ladies have pretty low numbers on the scale for goal weight. I am curious if this a number that you use to see when you were younger, or your physicians have suggested it?

My plan is to be in a size 6 to 8 when I hit goal weight, but I also work out a lot. I love being able to weigh more than many of my friends of a similar height due to my level of activity and muscle tone. So for those of you ladies who want to remain curvy with your height, hit the gym, start building muscle and your goal weight can go up.

I know you tall waify ones out there are of a different breed than us tall muscular girls! We love you too though Embrace your body and love it!

Stared using MFP to keep track of my food/weight during pregnancy. I quit smoking as soon as I found out I was pregnant and packed on an extra 10 pounds (IN A MONTH! Yikes!). I had gestational diabetes which caused a host of dietary issues. The weight and stress on my joints made it tough to exercise so I did my best.
Now my little guy is here... He's pretty awesome. I love him dearly. What I don't love? The aftermath of creating such an awesome little person.
I LOVE working out! I always have. My diet never really much mattered because I was (and still am) a total gym rat (or mouse, it's more ladylike) After having my little guy I am back at it. I have never realized how hard it is to not be daunted by the scale! I am at the plateau and it looks like my diet is the first thing on the chopping block!

Hi everyone I'm almost 5'11 and 165.6 I want to get down to 135ish.... Add me..... ))))))) really enjoy everyone's posts in my news each day.

Hi everyone.... Am 30 y.o., 6'1 and currently 162lbs, looking to get down to 140.

Grew up feeling really out of place and never really treasured my body, often hid behind baggy clothes. would say I was even ashamed of my height ... how i dressed felt inconsequential because I was just so out of place...

Now my main reason for wanting to push the remaining 20+ lbs is to see if it makes a difference to my confidence. Know it sounds strange, has anyone experienced this before? it sounds almost like a mid-life crisis as I'm typing it....

5'11" sw 215lb gw mid 160s. Have massive boobs and the shoulders of a linebacker so never going to be a small dress size!

If y'all are tall, then I must be extra-tall (-;

I'm 6'0" and 205, trying to get to 165 but I've never been there, so let's see how far I can go and be healthy!

Here are a couple of pics:
