in Introduce Yourself
Hello all, I'm jumping back on the wagon for 2014, and I would like to have a few MFP friends. I'm a tall girl and would love to get to know some other tall ladies, but it's okay if you're medium or short too. My starting weight was 250 lbs. I've already lost a few pounds on my own, but I need you guys to help me stay on track. I'd like to lose 70-90 lbs altogether.

    Hello! I'm not tall at all...only 5'3", but I still have about 70 lbs to lose. Would love to be friends and help each other out. I do have a friend on here that is 6'1" or she may have said 6'2". You might want to send her a request. Her name on here is Frances1976.

    Having height gives you an advantage as it means you can carry more weight while looking slim :)

    I'm 5'6 and wish I were a little taller


    Good luck!

    Hi :) i'm not as tall as I used to be but i would like to support and receive support for the new year :) I'm 5'7 1/2" (that half still counts lol) I recently entered a pool at work to lose weight. I'm getting help from my brothers (one is an ex wrestler and the other is in the army) but being 285 pounds i can't do a fifth of what they can do and it is a little discouraging, I'm sending you a request

    6'2 here!!!!!!!! I used to be 155…too thin actually, had children, got older, then…my thyroid died. I was up as far as 230. I am now at 219.6 and my goal is 175 lbs. I need some friends to help motivate me. No one will diet with me and I feel so frustrated some days.

    That is frustrating when you are trying to change your lifestyle and you can't depend on friends to come alongside you and do it with you, but I guess I will have to do it on my own.

    I know what what you mean. I have no nearby friends who need to lose as much weight as me nor do I have any nearby friends who are tall like us. Oh well. At least we have this, a good tool to reach out to those with similar struggles. Have a good workout tomorrow!

    I'm 5'10 I know how you feel!!! Whenever I look at the scale I'm like "there's NO way thats my weight" I played basketball for 7 years in school so alot of my weight is contributed to muscle....especially in my thighs! But slowly but surely im slimming down. Good luck!!! Request sent!
