    5"10. I love being tall. I can reach the blueberries in the top of the bush, which are always the sweetest. ;) I love berry season... sigh.

    ps, Being taller also allows you to carry your weight well. People fall over when I tell them what I weigh. And no, I'm not ashamed of it. I started my journey at 345, and I'm now 238. Another 40 lbs will likely be as low as I go.

    OMGosh! I have a hard enough time trying to find pants long enough and I am only 5'11". I can't imagine being as tall as you! I hope you embrace it though.

    I am the same way. People can try and guess my weight all day and be close to 100lbs off. Once i tell them they are shocked because I carry it well. I started at 326, and I am at 315 now after a month.

    *Points to profile pic* Tall person right here!

    I'm 5'9 and I started out at 180.. Currently at 156 and goal is 150 but ultimate goal is 140.. just gotta see how I look at 150 first!

    I hear all the tall ladies on people never believing what you really weigh.. all my friends are short and are jealous that I can weigh about the same as they do yet look thinner.

    I have a friend from college who is 6'6". It's a good thing she's from Montana because the only jeans should could find that were long enough were wranglers. She bought her heels from a drag queen catalog!

    I am 6 foot and have two sisters that are the same. I love being tall and am married to a 6 foot 8 inch guy! We have 3 sons. I NEVER discuss what my weight is with others so I really have no idea what others perceive my weight to be. My sisters have been much better at keeping in shape than I have but I am changing that one day at a time! Thank heavens for internet shopping -I can find pants and long sleeved shirts that fit!!! My last order the pants were so long that they hit the ground even with heeled shoes on! I am sure some of you can relate to how wonderful/thrilling that feeling was!

    I'm 5'8". Started at 202 and I am currently 144. I'm aiming for 135, I think. I don't know anymore because sometimes I think I could get to 125.

    I believe there is already a group for tall women? 6 foot here and not afraid to strut out in some heels! I'm looking to reach GW of 150lbs so about 2 stone to lose But I'm carrying weight well which is always a bonus!

    5'9" here...I've never really felt overly tall, but perhaps that's just because I married a 6'2" guy, and have a lot of taller friends. :-)

    I don't go by the scale. I don't feel it's a reliable enough of a gauge for me, personally, so I go by measurements. Here are my stats...

    Age: 34
    Height: 5'9", large-frame, hourglass
    Pre MFP measurements: 46"-40"-49.5"
    Starting MFP: 43.5"-38.5"-47"
    Current: 43"-37"-47"

    5'8" here and I have never felt very tall but than again I am taller than a lot of men out there (you never realize how many short men there are until you are a somewhat taller woman LOL) and I would never want to be much taller than what I am, I have a hard enough time finding long jeans!

    My SW is 151
    I'm at 149 (just started)
    my goal is 135!

    i was less than 130 before my son but thought I looked a bit too thin but we'll see!
