in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys! My name is Sierra. Im not new to MFP, I've actually been here for over a year, but I am looking to add some more tall ladies and fellas to my friends list!

I'm tired of most of my friends being under 5'8'' and complaining about how "big" they are when I'm over here thinking "Psh, I WISH I was a size 6 and 130 pounds!"

I am almost 6' 1'', I started at 260 pounds last July, and as of last Friday I am 190 pounds (:

My goal weight, as of now, is 180, but if I reach that and want to go further, I will (: 70 pounds down, and only 10 from my goal weight! (:

My profile is full of pictures, but heres a couple more if you would like to see.
Anyone feel free to add me! (:

    Hi!

    I'm a memeber of said "Giants" club.

    I started at 204, and am currently just below 184. I don't know how much smaller I can go and maintain, so, I'm just moving along, eating my food, doing my runs, upping some strength and wanting to keep it all off and welcome more positive changes.

    You look fabulous!

    I totally hear you. I'm so sick of all my short friends. They represent the Lollipop Guild for sure. 3 cheers for all of the tall people. Are you with me everyone? I'm sorry. I can't hear you way down there. You'll have to speak up.

    I'm 6'2" but I don't tell my friends. They'd need a ladder to respond to that.

    Hi. I am much older at age 52. I try to be active. I went over 200, but you can see from my ticker where I am now and want to be. I am only 60 day on MFP and my new program.

    You look great!

    All - add me if you like. I was 5'10" at my highest point. :laugh:

    I am 6'2" and started at 452 lbs. I had previously lost 94 lbs using mfp, but then lost my way and got back up to 452 lbs again. I am now down 10.4 lbs and getting back on track.

    Thanks for the add Sierra!

    I'm in the tall club too! I say I am 5'11", but I am really 6'0". I am a few lbs from what I think is my goal and all my friends keep saying "you don't need to lose anymore weight!" I think because we are tall we carry the weight differently than others. If one of my short friends weighed 190 lbs, they sure wouldn't be saying they didn't need to lose anymore weight. I try not to make my weight loss completely about the number on the scale, but I will admit that it is important to me at least a little bit.

    I'm 6'4, female and I spiked at my heaviest weight in June 2013 - 425lbs. I'm no longer at peace because I "wear it well" because Ive ignored the truth of it...I simply don't look or feel as good as I use to at age 34.
    I am a former athlete and my goal is to get back into shape at my prime weight of 225lbs. As of last Friday, I've committed to do my best and have shed 8lbs in less than a week.
    I really welcome the social support of others over 5'10" tall. Feel free to add :)
