    I am trying to get back to what worked for me before.. running and then doing pushups, situps and mini-kickboxing moves in an hour workout seemed to help melt the pounds off.. so I am slowly getting back into the groove.. I hate burpees but I will get them done. today is my rest day but tomorrow I will be back at it..

    Hi everyonee.:smile: I kind of found this group by accident. I was looking for a womens' group and ended up scrolling through pages of other groups. I am 5'9" and finding clothes stinks especially pants. I always size up one not due to gut (although that has to GO), it's mainly my giant thighs. I feel at home on MFP period, as I felt like I was trapped in a video game on SparkPeople, and the last kid picked on WW. So, here I go. I am determined to do this, because the weight (~45 lbs) must go.

    Good morning, sorry for the multiple post above, I was trying to figure out how to do the quote and realized it posted multiple times... got up this morning as much as I wanted to stay in bed and went for a 4.4 mile run, got back and did 30 burpees.. so they are done!! did some push ups, sit ups, crab walks, etc; now I can take a guilt free nap :) Hope everyone has a great 4th!!

    Hey fellow tall people!! I'm 5'9" and after reading through this thread I've come to realise I actually have very small feet...I'm a UK 6 which I guess is about an 8 or 9 US??

    Hello all the tall fab ladies
    Im 5'10" and greatful for the trend of skinny jeans that look cute with a lil cuff at the bottom and a pair of 4 or 5 inch heels. I've always loved my height. One pet peeve is the weight loss. 20 pounds gone means my face looks a little smaller and my collar bone shows a little more. Good to know so many tall ladies share the same concerns but we rock!

    5'10" and secure with it! :)

    knoll630 Does your town have a Maurice's? They have their name brand as well as Silver's (my fave) for long legs like us! :)


    LOVE Silver jeans! Expensive but overly long and I am 6'2"-growing up I just bought men's jeans-haha, that was in the 80's tho. This post is a great idea-I love being tall. The only thing that bugs me is that the size 7 1/2 shoes that they always use for display are always so cute-until I put on the size 11-not so cute:)

    aggggggggggh!! burpees!!

    Yes I came up with the challenge but it doesn't mean its something I find easy. Believe me I don't. I'm a firm believer of the saying: what is good for you may not always be good to you.

    Lets get them done my tall beauties!!

    Did 15 burpees yesterday but it seemed to aggravate my sciatica :(

    Going to try working my way up to 2 minutes of jumping jacks instead :D

    I'm 5'11" and my next tallest friend is 5'2". I know exactly how you feel.

    Plus, I have orange hair, so I really stand out. One of these things is not like the others...

    Ugh. 40 pound loss and I'm still only down 2 sizes from what I was originally. I feel like if I was 5'4", I would have been down *at least* 4 sizes with this amount lost.

    Ah well, just gotta keep trucking. It's looking like I'll have more to lose than the initial 60. :-/

    Oh, I have a Polar FT140. I got it off Amazon. It was pricey, but it will be worth it in the long run. I end up inhaling fire after these workouts, and I need to know if I am actually burning anything, or just really out of shape.

    Just had to share with you ladies, weighed in today and the scale said 179.4. I'm finally back in normal BMI range! (And I did 20 push ups last night ;) )
    That is fantastic. Hope you're staying with us as inspiration! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Thanks Ladies! I will definatly be staying around, just had to enjoy the holiday weekend with my hubby <3

    BFit40- Looking at your ticker aren't you already in normal BMI range? We're the same height and have almost the same goals!

    Oh yeah...stop. Make sure you are stretching real good. At least 15 minutes. I felt mine yesterday when I was doing my HIIT workout.
