  • This is a great question. I am just over 6 feet so it is nice to see a post concerning tall women and weight loss. For those of you who lost weight in your 40s or later, how were you able to get the weight off and keep it off?
  • Are you trying to be helpful? Because your post comes off as a mean attack. My comments have really hit a nerve with you, why is that? There is ZERO constructive advice in your post, and I have been careful to try to thank the people who have come in this thread to give me advice. Also, you are in Ohio, but are somehow…
  • This is really good advice - especially the advice of walking towards a destination. I will definitely try this out.
  • I have ton of female friends - in fact - the majority of my friends are female. I have also completed a doctorate that dealt with gender issues, and campaign for women's rights issues.

  • Thanks so much for all of your tips. Running has been my go-to exercise when I want to lose weight because it is such a big calorie burner. I lost 70 pounds the last time that I wanted to lose weight, and this was largely due to running and counting calories. I have lost about 52.5 pounds from my highest weight this time…
  • I do not know how to ride a bike. I see people in the city that I live bike riding, but, in all honesty, it is a bit dangerous, because of the crazy and aggressive drivers we have out here.
  • Thanks so much for all of your tips. I am on a very strict budget, and cannot buy new shoes right now, I am afraid. I also cannot cross train, because that requires money to join a gym. I was running/walking about 9 miles per day, and really loved it. On a good week, I would do this 5 days a week. It helped me to drop…
