[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you tall? Are you carrying more weight than you’d like? This is the place for you. I thought I’d start a tall-woman-specific thread because, well, we are none of us aiming for 110 lbs (I hope).

I’m 5’11” and currently nearly 190 lbs. I am hoping to get down to 150 this year—it’s the weight at which I look and feel best. (Actually, I was briefly 139 and looked amazing but that’s never happening again.) Anyone want to join me?

I have settled on a form of intermittent fasting, mostly because I’m terrible with portion control. It’s much easier for me to not eat anything than to eat a little bit of whatever. This is actually how I ate naturally before I had kids—long gaps between meals, no snacking—so I think it ought to work. I’m trying to figure out the pattern that will be most sustainable for me.

FWIW, I’m 45 and this is the first time health has been my primary motivator in weight control. I lost a close family member this year far too young and I just want to make sure I’m doing what I can to live a long, healthy life for my kids. [/quote]

Thank you for this thread!!  5’11” 185 here and I am so tired of trying methods that just do not work for me. 45 y o and I am now realizing that almost none of the fashion or weight loss advice out there is relevant to me. [/quote]
