    Hi! This is my first post! I came on here to find tall girl friends who are fighting the good fight (like I still am). My shorty friends don't understand how different it is when you're tall, much like I don't understand their "short girl" probs. ;) I started at 295 and I'm currently down to 205. Great job ladies! You're truly inspirational!

    I am 5'10 and have about 6 pounds to go! <----which by the way are the HARDEST!! But what my profile doesn't reflect is that before coming to MFP I lost 40 pounds.

    I am all to familiar with tall people problems in the world of weight loss!!

    I have a short friend who says to me that I am lucky that I am tall, because if I was short I would look a lot bigger....wait...what??:grumble:
    I hate left handed compliments!!

    Hi there! Another tall girl here :) I'm also 5'10 :) I feel like I'm shrinking though since I sit in a wheelchair all day. It's a strange sensation spending 22 years of my life standing taller than most and now I look up at the world LOL

    But anyways, I love my phone app too. It's so much easier to remember to log in and stay motivated when its on the start screen of my cell phone :) I'm also using a neat calorie monitor armband I found called BodyMedia Fit from bodymedia.com. I wear it all day and it communicates via blue tooth to my cell and tracks how many calories I actually burn. Pretty cool. I guess this is weightloss for the future!

    Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me if you like!

    I'm 5-9, lost 25 lbs before coming to MFP, looking to lose 20-40 more lbs depending on how I look and feel. I think being tall is both an advantage and a disadvantage. I know I can definitely hide my weight - no one thinks I weigh as much as I do but it also takes a really long time for any weight loss to start showing!

    Hello there. I am new to MFP and I am also a tall girl (5'11). I weighted in at 185 and I would like to lose around 35-40 lbs and possibly more once I get going. I gained most of my weight during graduate school and after starting an office job. I used to swim and teach swimming lessons daliy, so I believe the sedentary lifestyle and stress of graduate school has contributed to my weight gain. I would love to connect with some new friends for motivation

    Tall deffinitly changes the game of losing weight. I lost 75 lbs before coming to MFP, now I'm 5' 11" and weight 210 lbs trying to get to 150. I would love to hear about goal weights for our heights becouse I can't imagine being 150 lbs, the skinniest I've even been once reaching 5' 11" was 190 lbs. I'm just going off of charts.
