5 feet tall ladies

mamaomefo

5' here, and in the "older" category. I have been on MFP for several years. Started at 142, lost to 134, sorta felt good at that weight. Maintained it for 1&1/2 years, then had several major stressors hit. Regained up to 162, more than I ever weighed, even when I was pregnant two different times. I have now lost 2 pounds. It is terribly slow going. Have a knee injury and haven't been able to exercise like I usually do. But I WILL get to my goal of 125 this time! Good luck to you!!

Off topic: --> help out another shortie:

Many of you on this thread seem to be young and assuming fashionable, maybe not yet married so still care about how you look to the opposite gender .

I have a hot date with hubby tomorrow to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
DON'T ask how long we've been together (way longer).

--> WHAT do I wear?
We just got 30+ inches of snow this week, and Boston is still digging out.

See my picture?
That's the dress I was planning to wear, BUT then what shoes would I wear?

Planning to go to the North End (little Italy) to a great restaurant, then out to Mike's Pastry for some treats/espresso, and then down the block to the comedy show.
WALKING!

Yup, can't be wearing my cute stilettos in 6inches of muck/melting/dirty snow.

--> So what's a girl to do?

(When we had our date in NYC in the summer: I wore walking shoes and changed to my gorgeous shoes right before we got to the restaurant and show.)


What could possibly look cute and sexy in the cold cold Winter?

I have these Sorels:


I also have Uggs boots similar to this, but I know I'll twist an ankle on those North End cobblestones:



Oy!
Help.

Thanks,
Amanda

4'11' here and I am 34. CW 177 GW130. I started MFP 1/27/15. I will weigh in next week. I'm up for shortie friends.

Oh and I have no clue when it comes to fashion. I am no help.

Just wear your full outfit at home for your husband to appreciate the full effect. Then wear your boots for walking, changing into your heels in the ladies room of the restaurant. Then he can watch you looking all hot walking to the table. I lived in Minnesota for 7 years. Trust me, there is no other safe option.

p.s. You look great in the dress and congrats on the anniversary.

I'm 5'2 my goal is 110

middlehaitch

5'1, 100-105lb, 61yo.
Put on 30 lb during menopause (2008), lost it, and have been maintaining at my current weight for over 5 years. This (100-105) is the weight I was from my late teens to 50 ish.




Wear the boots, carry your shoes in a shoe bag and change at the restaurant when you are taking off your coat, presuming there is a cloakroom at entry. If not duck into the ladies. Reverse on exit. Have a nice date, and next winter insist on a cab so you don't have to do the shoe juggling act.

Cheers, h.

5'1" - I'm at my goal weight of 109/110 but realised I need to either go further or just tone the hell up.

kellicci

I'm 5'1" with a medium build. I got rid of my scale when I moved but I'm guessing I was at about 135 when I came back this time around (judging by how my clothes fit as compared tot he last time I weighed 135) and my goal is 127-130.

I've never been below 123 as an adult. So even though some calculators will tell me 117 is the optimal weight for me I'm not going to torture myself with that goal.

middlehaitch

Attosa, if you aren't doing some kind of weight bearing exercises at the moment, start.
I have been doing nerd fitness for the past 3 months, and just started a bit of heavy lifting today.
You may well find with a bit of body reshaping you won't want to lose more.
I wish I had incorporated weights ( of any kind) consistently through out my weight loss. I wouldn't be struggling so hard now to retain and improve my LBM.
Cheers, h.

I live in Montreal. This is what we do all winter. Just change your shoes at the restaurant and check your coat and boots at the coat check.

I am 5'1 and 35 years old. I am at 116 now which I am happy with but I am looking to tone my tummy and thighs.

higgins8283801

I'm 5'2, I started at 171. I am now 127.4. My goal is 125, but I may go lower once I get there.

perkamer

I am 5ft and been working on getting down to 125-130. I have found that it is difficult. I started at 168, I am down to 157 and found that l need to keep changing things up in either exercising or eating in order to get continued weight loss.

Go Shortys!

what's your goal weight?
Im 30 and I just had my 2nd child a few months ago. I stared MFP at 164 and I'm down to 148. My goal is to get to 130 but I'm wondering what other short ladies are aiming for.
Also feel free to add me. Looking for more MFP friends :-)

I'm 5'0, 155 pounds and my goal is to weigh 125 by spring!

SusanUW83

5.0 started at 163, lost 40 but couldn't maintain at 123 -- the difference between weight loss and TDEE is so small for short, lighter ladies that I found it hard to maintain. Too many indulgent meals or days and I gained 15 back. Now I know I'm going to have to work a lot harder to keep the weight off. I think my goal is to stabilize in a size of clothes which means stay between 123-128. Any lower and I'd have to restrict my diet more than I want, I think.

LessthanKris

5'1 and my current goal is 120 but as I get closer I think I may move it to 115 depending on how I feel about everything.

veganstarchivore

I'm 37, 4 ft 10 and my goal weight is 90 to 100 pounds.

Ooci

Hi I'm 5 ft and half an inch. ( the half IS important I agree) 41 yrs old. Starting weight 12 st 7 ( 175 lb) and current weight is 9 st 7 ( 133 lb). Goal weight is 8 st 4 (116) though I might move that depending. I thought my waist would be smaller at this current weight and my original goal of 9 stone (126) won't do, sadly.
The last bit is unbelievably slow.

Thanks! I'm doing weights 3 x a week. It's moving along slowly. I want results faster. Gotta tighten up my diet, surely. You're also right, I don't think I want to lose more. Just reshape. Cheers! x
