    5'9 and realistically 60lbs to go . Like you, doing small increments. I am over 50, and that does NOT help!

    5' 9'' ... with at least 50 to lose. Yes, we hide it well, but I want it gone and be back to a healthy weight. I don't want to be skinny. Just fit and fabulous!

    I'm 5'7 and looking to lose another 60lbs. I started off at 268 and about 30lbs down. It definetly makes it easier to have support and encouraging people in your corner.

    Hello all,

    Just looking for weight loss buddies out there who are as tall as I am. Hopefully some of you out there are on this journey with me to a healthy and better you. I got over a 100 to lose so I would like to see pics of those that have met their goal. It's only been 2 weeks for me n I'm just trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    GREAT Post! & I'm elated to see 13 pages of 5' 7" & up sister Glamazons. I am 5' 7 & 1/2" w/ my shoes off but add my hair & a pair of 3" heels (due to weight gain, down to 2" for the moment) & I can clear 5' 10" (as long as I don't have to stand in those hills for more than 3hrs).

    Everyday, I log (HONESTLY) in the food & exercise diary and have found this to be very helpful but I could use all the support I can get as I don't do gyms & most of my exercising is individualized: spinning, bike riding, elliptical trainer, roller bladding and weights (not really partner activities) ... but I believe it does take a village and with 100 lbs to loose, I've got a long stretch of road to travel and it'd be nice to stop & say "Hi" to others on a similar journey. So friend request is underway to you and the other, (above average height) Glamazons who I welcome to add me as a friend. Let's ROCK off the rolls! Cheerz

    P.S. I've been in the game since 7.8.13; the sore, achy post work-out muscles & hunger are bearable but it's the omission of the nightly glass of red wine (preferably a chilled Shiraz) that's kind of killing me. I have to keep telling myself that it'll be worth it when I'm 2-3 sizes smaller in Jan 2014.

    I'm 5'7. I got up to 184 in 2005 and got down to 139-146 on Weight Watchers by 2007. I hovered around that weight until about 2010 and then started gaining weight because of a depression. In July I got up to 195 and joined MFP. I've lost 7 pounds in the last few weeks and can't wait to get back to a healthy weight!

    Feel free to add me!

    Hey Ladies!

    I'm 5'8, and am about looking to loose about 20-25 pounds or so, I had lost a bunch and was about 5 pounds of my goal weight , when life happened and stress levels went through the roof and beyond! Went on a family vacation this weekend, and saw a picture of myself, it was not pretty! Hopefully I can keep it off this time!

    5'8" and my daughters are...well, I'd be able to tell you if I could reach that high with the tape measure!
    Determined to lose the flubber this time and my daughters just have a couple of pounds to lose. What I want to know whilst us tall gals are all together is...where the hell do you buy your shoes. Shoe-buying here in Australia is painful...nothing over a size AUS10/UK8. I need cheap shoes for big hoofs ladies...everything online is pricey.

    I am 5' 8" and have lost almost 60 pounds. Went from 186 and my lowest 127, but I hover at 130.

    I bought a Weight Watchers cookbook at a secondhand store and started following the diet plan in the book. The first day I lost a pound and I was so excited! I was a little worried I would just stop after the one or two days, but I decided to keep going. The weight kept coming off...I got more excited...I kept on with the diet plan...I wasn't perfect by any means...some days I would go up a pound...but I would tell myself to keep going on.

    Exercise is important but the main thing is portion control and eating vegetables, cutting down on breads, not consuming junk food...

    By cooking the recipes in the book, I began to realize most of the ingredients are vegetables...go figure...and then you begin to change your mind about food...it is a process and there are many obstacles to overcome and the biggest obstacle was me!

    Lol I wear a 10 in shoes n it's a pain because the 10's are always sold out. Lol believe it or not a lot of my shoes I get at a 10 dollar store I live in Florida so I mostly wear sandals n wedges, I hate having my feet closed up, feels like they are being suffocated lol.
