SO, I am 6'2" and currently at 230. I want to get down to 200 eventually. I have an hour glass figure and have always been some form of overweight, whether it was a lil or more then that. I had GREAT legs in High School and for a few years later because, from 4th grade to my Senior Year, I walked to school. ANd, in 8th grade, started my 5 years in Marching Band. But, needless to say, "they" are no longer here, 14 yrs after Graduation. BUT, working on getting them back. Being mainly legs, I need them to be! :)

I dont think ONEderland is in my future but...what about you? Anyone else

    Hi! I am 6 foot even. I think 200 pounds is a very respectable goal for you! I am shooting for a little lower, but I am a couple of inches shorter. I also, no matter what I try to tell myself, am not big boned. I have had trouble with my weight most of my life. However I went through a short spell where I was 125. We should definately not try to do that again. It was not a good look. I think curves are beautiful and you should stick with a weight that makes you feel beautiful.

    Exactly! Everyone tells me I dont look like I weight that much because I am tall and Big Boned. UM, no, I may be broad shouldered but, i do not accept BIG BONED as an excuse anymore for myself either. I was down to 209 at one point, 3 years ago, and I was SOOOO loving it! I am looking to get there plus further before I decide to have another child and have to work on dropping it again. LOL!

    Curves are what makes us WOMEN! I think a woman who tries to LOSE her curves on purpose is wrong.

    GOOD LUCK with your journey!!
