Any 6 foot ladies?.. or any tall ladies?

I'm 5 feet, 10 1/2 inches, medium frame....and I've always loved being tall. Right now, I'm 153 lbs, but I was 176 for a while and miserable. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid when I was around 30 and when I pointed out to the doctor that 176 was the heaviest I had been in my whole life and I felt terrible, he just scoffed and said "you fall in a healthy weight range--call me back when you're over 190 lbs". I was horrified--a person knows what's a comfortable weight for them and he was just going by some stupid chart.

The only problem I have being tall is feeling overly conspicuous--last night at the gym I wanted to try running on a treadmill instead of just walking but didn't want to look ridiculous starting and stopping and adjusting and possibly stumbling until I got the hang of it (overall, having arms and legs flailing out like a spider). All the other women running on the treadmills were cute, petitite megafitnesschicks and I was CONVINCED everyone was looking at the overgrown amazon at the end of the row.

On the bright side, I hear all the time from people that they think I'm intimidating which is funny since, I try to be friendly and approachable but tend to be very shy. That word "intimidating" in my mind translates sometimes as "bad *kitten* mother

I'm 5'9 1/2 or 5'10 and i've always been on the chunky side. I'm currently about 175. My goal is to be about 140-150 so I can feel more confident and be able to not feel like godzilla stepping on villages. Also I feel like if i lose the weight I might one day have the confidence to wear heels out for the first time ever. good luck to you all x

I'm 5'10 and I hate being this tall - especially now I'm heavier than I've ever been after having my daughter. People say because you're tall you carry it well but it makes me feel so masculine!
