sounds like a great plan to me! welcome back and ill send you a FR :O)

I would just like to put it out there that I am loving my butt in this pencil skirt i have on today! Anyone else having a rocking start to their weekend?~!

Hello and welcome! we started this group back in 2011... and it is a place where we can all relate to one another and be healthy in our mindsets of what is realistic for our body size. Good luck on your journey and you will be successful if you just keep at it... you didnt gain the weight in 2 months, dont expect to lose…

people are idiots and will say idiodic things. HOWEVER, i give this girl a TON of credit in her response. what an amazingly articulate and well spoken young lady. she is wise beyond her years and beautiful. she clearly has been raised well and at 6'2, she will grow into a STUNNING woman, right now, she looks great and is…

i always try to seem taller when i am with people who are taller than me also! hahah like i dont want to be the shortest!

My grandmother (who had 4 daughters, all over 5'8) always told me to walk tall and walk proud. Her exact words were always, "Shoulders back, tits up!" She is right and I miss her :bigsmile:

This is an EXCELLENT point about sizing and how we all have different body types/shapes. You're currently a size 12 at 166, and I can wear 12s at about 195-205 ... crazy!

welcome! i am 5'11 and my goal weight is like 185-190 :O)

this is a long post, but EXCELLENT information regarding eating enough to fuel your body during weight loss... it explains everything and gives great resources. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/937712-in-place-of-a-road-map-ver-3-0

Check out the group!

yes maam! i'm 5'11, right now i'm 209. and i eat around 1850-1950 cals a day and lose weight. my BMR is 1750, TDEE is 2406, and a -20% is 1925. it only seems HIGH because as a society we are conditioned to think to lose weight we have to eat 1200 calories... i do this to be sustainable for a lifetime. no one our size can…

i think weight is totally relative. i am 5'11 and probably border on large/medium frame. i can wear a size 12 at 200 lbs... its just a weird thing about bodies. everyone has a different shape. even if you THINK you look similar, you will still fit clothes differently. which i think is cool. makes us all unique. and yes, i…

i use one occasionally at work. i will sit on it for an hour or so, and then sit in my chair. and then later ill sit on it again for like an hour... you feel it that night ;O)

I like that new bmi info. The way he explains his reasoning makes perfect sense! Love!

Welcome!

I am 5'11 and have always had great legs IMO... haha! even at 250ish i still had nice legs, proportionate, just larger. i carry my extra weight in my stomach mostly. but the very very top of my thighs are bigger than i would like... but still nothing to complain about. i wonder if it is a genetic thing, your leg shape?…

I also buy alot of compression capris and pants from Old Navy. i love them! and they are inexpensive~

I am 5'11, large framed, and I have a starting goal of about 190. Once I hit that, I would say I might work towards 180-185 as an ultimate vanity goal :bigsmile:

My parents are both about 5'8 or 5'9, I'm 5'11 and my older brother is about 5'10 probably. Weird. All my cousins are pretty good sized though, all over 6'0 for the most part. My mom's sisters are 5'9 and 5'10 though. My dad's sisters are only like 5'4. So the height thing skipped a gen in my dad's side and its pretty even…

At 5'11 and a starting weight about 245ish.... it wasnt until I had lost about 25-30 pounds before people really were like... "whoa, have you lost weight?" ahahah yes... I have, quite alot actually ;O)

please do NOT weigh yourself for a while... thats my only advice now :O)

yes, 2000-2100 is a great place to start. with your schedule, your body is going to LOVE this new routine! and please please please give it about 2 weeks at LEAST to get used to it, so dont expect a loss the first week. you may get one, but you also may see a slight gain or a very small loss. but stick with it, because in…

someone our size can almost always eat a large amount of calories and lose weight. I am 5'11 and right now, i eat about 1900 a day. MFP uses one method to calculate calories, and its great for some, but doesnt work for others. like shannon said, its about the BMR and your activity during the day. i bet if you set MFP to…

My profile pic is me in May on vacation and I was about 200-202ish. It is all about confidence :O) Because, I also wore a bikini at 250... hahahaha jus sayin~

i get tons at target (but most are cottony and not super formal) but i love new york and company too~ evidently i need to check out jcpenney! geesh~

This is such a funny topic because everyone carries their weight differently. For example, i am 5'11 and about 200ish right now, and I am in tight 12s loose 14s. I started at 245ish and was in an 18. So, we are the same height, and I am 30 pounds heavier than you at the same pant size... it is all relative :O)

Thanks everyone! I thought it would be fun to point out that I am 5'11... on the left.... hahah and yes, me and my friends are tall and we love it! :O)

hey! i'm 5'11, large framed, and started about 240ish and am hovering around 200 right at the moment. :grumble: i was down to 197 a few weeks back... and my first big goal is 190... i have never been that weight as an adult. so i will assess how i feel once i actually get there.:wink: but i could probably stand to get down…

My response to someone saying, 'You can't get a man because of your height'..... "No sir, you can't have ME, because of YOUR height." Smile, and W.A.L.K...A.W.A.Y People are idiots. Period :O) And frankly, we are awesome, and even more awesome because we are tall and beautiful and glamazons! I am so tired of people getting…
