Out of curiosity, how tall are your boyfriends/husbands/ SO?
Hubby boy is 6'4", that was definitely a plus in my book the first time I saw him!
My husband is 5'10. Tall guys never wanted to date me. He told me he would bring a footstool to the wedding!0 -
Oh, I love this group! I'm 6' tall, over 300lbs (for now!), and am definitely discouraged by the lack of dress size change even though I've lost 30lbs already. I remember my doctor being very surprised when she weighed me a few years back because I definitely don't "look" as heavy as I am.
I had my second day at the gym today, and was spending half my time learning to use the weight machines just making it so my legs could fit in. So many short girls at the gym usually, I guess!
And count me in as someone whose feet have gotten smaller, too. I wore a 12 or an 11-wide, and now a bunch of my shoes are too big for me. Gonna have to go shopping (poor me!).
Don't be discouraged. Look at my stats. I am 6'1 and have lost 24 pounds and while I can see changes, I will have to lose between 30 and 40 pounds just to drop a dress size! I love being tall though.0 -

my boyfriend is an impeccable 5'6''!!! LOL, 5 inches shorter than me! he always tries to round up his height and I'm always rounding down. The height difference isn't that noticeable

Rounding up and down thats funny. I do that to my husband. He is 5'8" but I always tell him he's 5'7" lol He swears he surpose to be 5'10" and something happen to stunt his growth. LOL0 -
Hey ladies let me know if you want to incorporate monthly goal or challenges. I was thinking about creating a Totally Tall Women banner we could put in our signature. Just let me know and we can collectively come up with something.0

What a great conversation this is! I LOVE being tall at 6 feet In fact in my family growing up I thought I was short! 0

I am 5'10" and love it!! I haven't worn high heeled shoes for years because of my weight, they are so uncomfortable but once I get down around 200 lbs. I intend to wear some high ones. I am so glad I read these posts, I was wondering why someone I know who is 5' tall lost 25 lbs. and almost 3 sizes and I have lost 23 lbs. and am the same size with a little room to spare.0

I want to wear heels more often and much higher ones. I have some 3 inch heels I didn't feel comfortable walking in them at first. Oh but now when I put them on the DIVA just comes out and takes over lol I working on strengthening my knees and ankles. I think thats my problem.0 -

Count me in. I could use a group motivation, and since we're all tall ladies, the playing field feels more even!0 -
Cool....anymore takers on starting some challenges?0

5.9 1/2" here, with long arms, as well as long legs....Can't forget about the difficulty in finding shirts with an appropriate sleeve length! Although, now that we're all working on becoming our sexiest selves, we should be BARING our arms, anyway!
Another bonus to being tall? If we gain 10 lbs (GOD FORBID), it's spread over a taller/longer area, and isn't nearly as noticeable as someone who is 5'3" and gains 10! BONUS! Then again, if we LOSE weight, it isn't as obvious, either. Bummer... lol
I love being tall, though!
5'9 and i totally feel you! my arms are so long... long-sleeve shirts- what are thoes? lol0 -

Haha, thanks! I just need to be patient, I guess!
I'm up for monthly challenges, too, though nothing too stressful, haha.0 -
Yep - 'm up for a challenge. 0
-
5'10" and love to wear heels!
I would definitely be up for goals and challenges!0 -
I like doing weekly challenges so we can switch it up and keep it fresh.
These challenges are basically being done to help with endurance, push us out our comfort zone, to strengthen us physically and mentally.
I will post the challenge tomorrow and we will start it on Monday and end on next Sunday. Any physical challenge that I post doesn't have to be done all at once, but it must be completed daily within 24 hours. Even though it can be broken up in increments remember you want them to be effective so try to push yourself and keep your heart rate up. Post when you've completed your challenge.0 -
Hello ladies. I'm sorry I'm a day late with the challenge.
CHALLENGE - START 6/21/11 END 6/26/11
100 JUMPING JACKS PER DAY FOR A WEEK
I thought this would be a awesome challenge to work on endurance. Remember you don't have to do them all at one time but make sure they count. Get that heart rate up, keep your core tight and breath. Report your daily completion. Good luck ladies!0 -
Count me in for this weeks challenge!0

Hey does any of you have aching knees? Is this a tall person thing? They don't hurt. They just sometimes ache. I was hoping that it would've stopped by now since its been about 6 months that I've been very active, but it hasn't.0

So hubby said its because I up'd my weights in CLX. Its not my knees I'm feeling today but the muscle right above it. Well whatever it is, its irking me lol0 -
Did my 100 jumping jacks today!! 2 sets of 50. Hopefully I can work up to 1 set of 100!! Great Challenge!0
-
Got my jumping jacks done for Tuesday. I was pleasently surprised that I did them all in one shot. Maybe I will add a few more for today!0

Ladies - I had to share - I bought my first pair of red high heeled shoes today with a 2 inch heel! That makes me almost 6 ft 2 and my boyfriend is only 6 ft tall. He says he loves it though!
Now let's see if I wear them outside!0 -

Yeah to everyone that completed the challenge!!
I couldn't do it last night. I had to ice the muscles above me knees. I woke up this morning feeling much better so I will try for 200 today to make up for yesterday and to get today's set completed. We'll see how I far out lol0 -
By the way I love the air up here and I wouldn't give up this view for the world!! - LOL love this quote!
I'm 6 ft tall and have been this tall since I was 12. I don't remember wearing jeans smaller than a size 12 since I was 12- lol. But I was smaller than all of my friends who's in size 10 jeans. I also have a big chest and big breast that make it difficult to find long enough shirts, as if it wasn't hard enough to find long enough pants!!
I used to hate being tall but now I love it. I know that if I was shorter, then I would be fatter lol. It is all stretched out right now. So there are some perks to being tall But it is hard to find shoes, shirts, and jeans. 0
