Hi Everyone! I am 6'1" and I have a love/hate relationship with my height! I am also heavy, and with my weight and height I feel massive around everyone else. I am hoping that I am going to start loving my height more as I lose the weight.

I'm 5'10" and my goal weight is 140lbs. Last June I weighed 127lbs, which I realize is pretty thin, but I was still on the lower end of the "healthy" category according to BMI. I guess I have a pretty slender frame & I didn't have much muscle weight either. I know I was very thin so my goal isn't to go back to what I was, I'm just trying to fit into my clothes again. I can't really afford a whole new wardrobe unfortunately.

I'm 5'10" and aiming for about 11 stone (154lbs), for now at least (that's losing about 15lbs), mainly because I've put on a fair bit of weight recently and I can't afford to buy replacements for all the clothes I have grown out of! I realise that's not a massive amount in the grand scheme of things, but with my miniscule amount of willpower and huge chocolate obsession, I think it's going to take me a fair while...

All my friends are much shorter than me so I am generally bigger all over, and like someone else said I feel huge when comparing myself to them. It doesn't help that I feel like I stand out because I'm taller, so I tend to slouch a bit and get really shy. Hopefully getting thinner will give me more confidence in everything in my life not just what I look like!

Hello fellow tall Ladies.
I'm 6' tall, starting weight 211, goal weight 165-170lbs.
Looking for friends and needing support from other tall women.
Please feel free to send me a friends request...I look forward to meeting you!

Really love this group. I am 5' 10" with a goal weight of 170lbs. Got there once 5 years ago. It felt great. In reading everyones posts it sounds like we are all in the same frame of mind.
Is anyone else tired of hearing "You have it easy because you get more calories per day" from all the little people with goal weights of 120 lbs.

Hey there Tall Ladies!! I used to be sooo self concious about my height when I was younger. Now being 28, almost 29 years old...I dont' mind it. Actually, now I would rather be taller than short.

I am 5'11 and currently weigh 175. When I started MFP, I weighed about 181. I started in January. To be honest, I don't feel that I have a whole lot of weight to lose. I'm not even worried too much about my weight as I am wanting to tone my stomach.

My wedding is in almost two months!!! September 15th! I cannot wait!! But, my dress is a mermaid dress. Nothing I though I would ever consider. Until I tried it on, I felt like a queen. But, it is very fitting. I would like to tone my stomach.

My main goal is to continue to eat healthy and within my normal calorie intake. I want a solid healthy life. I plan on trying for kids soon and would also like a healthy pregnancy and to not eat just because I am pregnant.

Friend request me if you'd like. Hope to hear more from you guys!!

Hiya I'm a 6 footer from the UK, started at around 225lbs, currently about 180, looking to get to 175 am broad shouldered so much lower isn't great.

Hi everyone!!
I just joined this group and I've been using this site for about 5 days so far. I'm 5'11" and I weight 256, I'm hoping to get to about 190...Wish me luck! haha
I'm really looking forward to having support from ladies similar to me, because shorter women just don't seem to get it.
Thanks!

Hi! Hi! Hi!

I am so excited there is this group on here - sometimes I feel like I am the only tall woman in America! I guess it doesn't help that I tower over my family by a solid 8 inches!

I am Kari - I am 30 years old at 6' 1'' and weighed in at 280 on Tuesday (yikes). My goal is 215. I am definatley looking for friends on her to lean on for support and encouragement! My first mini goal is 20 lbs by October - it is definalty doable - I just need to stick with it!

What are is your weakness when it comes to food? Mine is "ooey, gooey, goodness" aka comfort food like cheese, nachos, pizza, ice cream, etc...I am still figuring out why I turn to food...

What motivates you to work out? Do you have any couch to exercise queen game plans you are willing to share? I was a division 2 basketball player in college and have since taken the last 8+ years off working out - I kept telling myself that I worked out hard enough in college - well that mind frame DEFINATELY needs to change. My problem is if I join a gym I want to life heavy - like I did 'back in the day' and I love to work out with others...vs the alone on a treadmill or ellipticall...

ok - enough about me - I am really looking forward to your responses!!!!

Hi Everyone! I am 31, 6'2" and currently weigh about 245. I started at 255 and my goal weight is 175. I played college basketball and am trying to get back in the shape I was in college.......or at least close to it! I think once I graduated I just wanted to take some time off of getting up early every morning and working out and that little time off ended up being about 7 years (I stayed in shaped my first several years out of college)!!! I have struggled with trying to lose weight for the last 5 years. I would swear I was going to change then fall off the wagon. So since I have been using MFP this has been the longest I have tracked my food. I usually dont do to back through the week but on the weekends I really struggle.

I started doing Insanity 4 weeks ago and have finished the first month but, since I started my weight loss has stalled. I am losing inches but not weight. Unlike most people I do really love to workout however, I also love to eat!!! Portion size is my biggest issue.

Feel free to add me if you would like a tall girl friend!!

the tall girls don't post much do they??

What happens is that people pickup friends here, and the conversations move to private news feeds.

Hi
I love being TALLLLL :laugh:
