Yay sis! Now, where's your fitbit? :D I'm here with you, trying to get back on the wagon. Teaching will help me a lot, at least.

I'm 5'11 and currently around 223lbs, down from 245. My first goal is to get under 200 again... I managed it last year, but I keep gaining and losing the same 20lbs over and over again the past 4 years. My second goal is to get to 175lbs, which was the last weight I felt comfortable at. Depending on how I feel then, I may…

Mostly now I shop for clothes at Target, since their tall pants are *almost* long enough. I have a hard time because my actual inseam is 37", and most tall sizes are 34" and tall shops usually stop at 36". I can get away with 36" inseams most the time. Every now and then I'll buy pants/jeans from Alloy.com, since they go…

For the past 3 years I've had 18-19 credits per semester, which doesn't even count all the outside rehearsal and performance time for dance and music classes. Then, last summer I added a semi-full-time job (20-30 hrs/wk). Scheduling has been insane, as I'm juggling so many different schedules (classes, dance, music,…

I'm a senior Dance Education major/Music minor at Columbia College in Columbia, SC. I love it because: 1) it's a private women's liberal arts college 2) class sizes are small (<20 for most classes) 3) most classes focus on critical thinking skills, collaboration, and broadening horizons 4) the campus, while small, is…

I usually notice when my weight changes by about 10lbs because my clothes start to fit differently. It's me losing 30lbs for others to notice. I figure it's because there's that much more surface area my weight is spread over. It's like taking a tablespoon of water and keeping it in a measuring spoon vs. pouring and…

I'm 5'11 and my shoe size ranges widely depending on the style and what I'm doing. I have very high, very flexible arches (dancer!), which causes my feet to flatten out and become longer/wider if I'm on them for long periods of time or putting them under pressure (running), Thus, I can wear anything from an 8.5-9 in…

I'm 5'11 pushing 6' and currently weight 208lbs. My current goal is 175, which would be the high range of healthy for me. Once I get there, I may try to drop as low as 155 but I don't think I I'd want to go any smaller than that. I was 115-135 through high school and a size 3/4. I don't EVER want to be that thin again...…

I am also tall. Currently I am aiming to be 175, which is the high end of "healthy". However, I would caution other tall ladies about following the standard BMI charts, as they tend to be skewed for those of us who are outside of the average height range, either short or tall. For instance, when I was 155, which is about…
