Loose skin?
Have any of you experienced loose skin after about 50kg or 110lbs weightloss? If so, is it a lot or minimal? Im not too concerned as to whether I'll get it or not, but I find it interesting since most people who lose around 100lbs have loose skin, but they're usually shorter and I haven't seen any tall results in terms of…

Need some 6 footer friends please!
Hi there. I am a 6 foot tall, 37 year old mom of 5. I have lost 37 lbs so far. I just discovered this site a few days ago and I am excited to give it a try.

Looking for Tall Friends
I'm back again on MFP and looking for some friend motivation! I'm 37 y/o, married and no kids, ~5'11" and ~174 lbs. I plan to be around 155-ish again. I was there 2 years ago, but changing careers from being on my feet all day to sitting at a desk all day - plus being able to snack all day - helped the 20lbs creep on. I'll…

Weight loss in tall women vs short women
I'm frustrated. One of my best friends joined MFP not too long after I did and has been a machine! I'm super proud of her, but she irritates the hell outta me! I'm 5'11" and she is 5'3" and while I was about 87lbs overweight, she was 100+lbs overweight. I commend her on her accomplishments, but I'm irritated because they…

TDEE For Tall Ladies?
I'm having a hard time figuring out my TDEE/BMI from the online calculators/MFP. I'm wondering if they're accurate for tall women or are they just based on average women? I'm 6'2" & carry most of my weight in my lower body (hips, thighs, butt), but I'm thin in the upper body. At 210, according to the calculators I am…

Is your significant other shorter than you?
Just curious how many of us made height a requirement when choosing a mate. I have a lot of short friends who always say, "I would never date/marry a guy who is shorter than me!" But, I'm 5'11" and my husband is 5'5" and he's wonderful. If I would have kept that silly rule I would have missed out on the love of my life. :)

Any Large Frame women?
I'm 5'11 and have a large frame. I am looking to lose about 80-100 lbs. My lowest was in HS @ 135 and I was a stick then, so I am looking to try to stay in the 150-170 range (for now). I am currently 247. Ultimate goal of 140. Any other ladies out there with a large frame as well? If so, what size/weight are you at and/or…
