Hi I'm 5'9 and need to lose about 150+ lbs. I'm ready to start this journey and would really love some support! I don't have anyone in my life, personally, who I can get support from. All I have is myself, and this app. I know there's many out there who want support and I will give it :)!

I'm an emotional eater and I'm done with it. The health issues, the lack of self-confidence, all of it. I'm ready to get my weight under control. It's going to be hard, because I've been overweight my entire life, but it's possible with a little support.


Anyone around my height and/or trying to lose about the same amount as I am is definitely welcome to add me :)

    I'm 5'9 and have about 50 pounds left to go, but I would have to say that I have recently learned to quit looking at what's left and look at how far we've come! We can do this! Support is definitely a key! I don't get on the pc version very often so sometimes it's hard to see group/msg board posts, so please add me if you'd like! I would love to share in the journey!

    Thanks guys! Adding and accepting, I don't really have support from my family so this is appreciated.
    Looking forward to this journey with you all!

    You got this girl! I'm 5'8" and started out needing to lose like 115-125. I've been overweight-obese my whole life so I really don't know what my frame with look like at 140/150, we shall see what the magic number is. Feel free to add me, everyone needs lots of encouragement on this journey <3

    There are a couple tall women groups on here you can go to as well. Just search tall women and you should get at least one or two. :)

    6'0" here and only have 5-10 vanity lbs left to lose. Being tall is awesome because we get to have more food than the shorties.

    This made me laugh! Very true though, I see some of my friends only get a limit of 1,500 a day. I get 2,100 ha! Lol.

    I can't wait until my scale gets here. I had to order one because the one currently at home doesn't hold my weight -.- as soon as I know my actual weight my journey will really begin and I'm glad I'm going to have so much support!
