Just a heads-up... Target has yoga pants that come in Tall/Long (not sure which they called it). And they're thick and comfy! And only $18-20... a LOT better than the $50-60 I was planning on spending on the ones at GAP. Sure... the ones at GAP are softer and "silkier"... but for workout clothes or even just plain lounging clothes... the ones at Target are really nice. And they're long... even on my legs!!!

Just wanted to let y'all know... I love yoga pants... but I've had a hard time finding ones that were long enough. I literally screamed when I saw them in the store.

Ok...have to revive this board. Hopefully some of you ladies are still around

So I'm 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, and somewhere between a 12 and 14. Well I'm assuming. My 14's are getting a bit loose and haven't tried on a 12 yet. Nice to see a board like this. I always feel like my goal weight is to high and I have to keep reminding myself that I am NOTT short

Only thing I have trouble finding is long enough jeans so if anyone has any suggestions for places that carry them, tell me

Oh and I do love the fact that we can carry our weight well. I don't mind people not noticing a drop in weight, but it was a godsend when I was at my heaviest. 0.o

Hi, I am also a tall woman

I am 6ft and 180 pounds and even though I am overweight, people seem to think that I am not (and it takes a big weight loss for people to notice). So it is mostly a blessing being tall.

I am in Australia, so most of my jeans are from jeans west which produce long and extra long length jeans (I get the tummy trimmer in long). I also have some vigold bootleg jeans that are really long.

Yes at 5 foot 10 i have always been told i carry my weight well. I am over weight at the pressent time. But i am on my way down to a good healthy weight for me. Ive always liked being tall except when i was in middle school the boys were so short

Stand Tall and bE proud !

I love Gap jeans in extra long, and I just got some new pairs to shrink into from Fashion Bug online.

Hi all,
I'm 5'10". My goal weight is 170 but if I'm totally honest I would be happy with 200 It has taken me 30 pounds to go down a size or 2 sizes depending on the store. I was a 20/2X and now I am an 18/1X. I notice it first in the jeans - most of my shirts are still ok but I have bought new jeans and started to wear some which were previously too tight which is awesome. I have not been working for about 6 months so I have no idea what my dress pants are like but after I graduate college in the spring hopefully they will be way too big!

"It has taken me 30 pounds to go down a size or 2 sizes depending on the store."

Sounds about right. It my first 70 pounds only took me down two pant sizes(although they were tight to start with)...as your closer to your goal, it only takes 10-15 to make a difference

and Hi guys =D

I am new to this board,but this post caught my eye,as I am also a tall woman. 5'10" and currently weigh 192. At my heaviest I weighed 220,and was in a very tight size 16(probably should have been wearing an 18!lol) Currently I wear mainly a 14 and in some brands a 12. I think being tall definitely has its advantages,as you can be over 200 lbs and no one would ever guess,and you can gain a few lbs and no one notices.But the one thing that I guess is the negative,is that even though I lost over 25lbs....I basically lost 1 ..about 1 1/2 ..sizes. I know short girls who have lost that much and they drop like 5 sizes!!
I have been this tall since I was about 14..and I weighed 140 then,people thought I was too skinny. I weighed around 170-175 and was a size 12 for quite a few years and I think that is my 'sweet spot'. It sounds like a large size,but on us tall girls ,it really doesnt look like it. Even at my 'skinny 140' the smallest size I could wear was a 10. This body just isnt meant to be tiny I guess!

Oh,and for tall girls...the BEST pants and jeans in tall sizes that fit awesome is NY & Co!

and baker 23...congrats..just noticed how much you have lost total..very awesome!

I was posting on this thread forever ago, but then I wasn't on here anymore. I'm excited to see that its revived and people are posting on here again! I'm 5'11" and currently sitting right below 180. I wear a size 10-12. I think the 10's are a result of vanity sizing. So really I'm a looser fitting 12. Which a tighter 12 was my size when I was at 186, my high weight.

It's good to have other women who are the same proportions as ones self. For example we likely could never fit into a 1 or 2, while many women on here that are maintainers are right into those types of sizes.

That is so weird.. Im 5'9 and Im currently around 228lbs and I wear a size 16 and its very loose on me... Is that wierd? Im pretty sure that its mainly because my stomach is hanging because of the weight I recently lost.. I hope it will stretch back in...

[baker23]

tallflgirl78- Thank you =D...This last little bit dosen't want to let go though...grrrr xD

Krystalruby- Maybe you have good genetics =D...Mine is slowly snapping back Definitely better then 6 months ago. I heard that after you lose a good amount of weight, you need to give your body a year or two for the loose skin to snap back

"example we likely could never fit into a 1 or 2, while many women on here that are maintainers are right into those types of sizes."

I don't even think models our height could squeeze into a size that small xD What size do you think you'll end up when you hit your goal of 130? Trying to get a general idea.

Tall Girls Rock !!!

[Krystalruby]

@baker23 Im praying for at least a size 8... I was always so big and I was wearing a size 12 in sixth grade... BTW, i am sooo impressed with your weight loss!!!!! how did you do it?
