I am tall as well, and even now, I STILL look thin to people, though I have definitely gained weight. I weighed 116 lbs until I was a senior in HS, then went up to 125, and then way up past that, like 30 lbs past that. I watch what I eat, but eat whatever the hell I want, usually. I won't have chips or McDonald's or something, but I do eat whatever within my calorie range. I can have a bagel everyday and no be screwed...but I make sure I eat fruits and veggies, and of course for dinner, chicken is my staple. I am just about down 10 lbs, and I feel better, I look better, and I am very conscious about my daily activity versus my daily intake.
NYChic, everyone is different, so 10 lbs may look like a lot on someone, but very little on another person. It goes along with your body frame as well, and the way you balance weight, and what spot is the place it goes first. You don't look bad AT ALL, and def. don't look fat.

The weight has to come off--it really depresses me. My mom does Nutrisystem, but it won't work since she exaggerates in her mind how much activity she does per day, so the lbs never come off! I have tried some of their stuff, not terrible, but not at all worth the price you pay, when you can eat healthy, but actually have good tasting food that you can get at the supermarket.
