    You should be happy being tall though. Imo, weight gain is much less noticeable on tall people. Plus, we get that long lean built. :)

    Yeah, at least taller guys don't need a step stool to reach to top shelf at home.

    I was just jumping up and down moving something closer to the edge until it fell and I caught it.

    Ummm......I'm 5'6", I can't reach anything past the very front part of the top shelf of our cupboards without a stool or chair. Yeah, I do the jump up and tip it off sort of thing too but still have to get a chair to get the stuff at the back.

    See bro, the idea is to not put anything up there in the first place when you buy groceries. haha.

    I'm 6'4". I've lost around 30 lbs total (not all through MPF). People did notice...and now I'm apparently 'too skinny' or 'thin as a rail'. :(

    I also typically put things up in high places just to watch short people struggle to reach them. ;D

    I can understand the tall issue, at 5'11 it works both ways, I can gain weight and it not show, but I can also lose some weight and it not show. Sort of how I ended up needing MFP currently.

    .....and also that we naturally weigh more....and that little petite builds get to say oh I'm a size (something low) whilst carrying extra weight, whereas we'd have to starve ourselves to be the same size...yes, I'm feeling it! 5'7 here!
