So I am a 6 foot tall girl and hold my weight pretty good. Most people underestimate how much I weigh, which I think is great. Except, now that I am losing weigh it just isn't showing. My boobs have gotten smaller, maybe a little in my rear, but I have lost 16 lbs and I haven't lost that in my breast!! Does anyone else have this problem? Is it standard for taller people to take longer to show their progress?? Thanks for ur input!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

    this is a problem!!?? :laugh: Im 5 11 and my weight is pretty well spread to. Always loved that fact! I think youre right about it not being as noticeable at first because its got more area to come off of. But it WILL get noticeable!

    i'm 5'9", and I think being tall sucks. A lot of people don't believe me when I tell them i've lost 25 pounds (even though they knew me before and after)... kinda sad. So it takes a long time to show if ever.
    You can see my before and after picture, but I look pretty much the same with my clothes on lol

    I will never look like a six foot tall bombshell no matter how much I loose . :( Il never be stunning, lucious, or a knock out.
    I will always be cute, adorable, sweet, So it may take u a while to show a weight loss, but it also takes a while to show a gain!
    Trade off I guess.
    :happy: :laugh: :laugh:

    I know exactly what you mean. But think about it this way, I am 5'11 and My sister in law is not quite 5 ft. When I gain 5 pounds noone can tell but me because my pants are a little tighter. When my sister in law gains 5 pounds she cant even get her pants on. It goes on a little here a little there, it probably comes off the same way.
    Hope this different perspective helped. :)

    I agree and I am also 6"0 when I started this weight loss journey people thought I weighted approx 225. I really weighed 392 crazy huh!! It took me about 50lbs for other people to notice I had lost weight. It is very frustrating I must say..
