in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys and girls,

I was just wondering if there's any other shorties out there as I know we can't carry extra weight as well as tall people! And I don't know about you but I always feel like when I put on even a couple of Ibs it really shows much more than if my tall friends put on a bit of weight?!

I'm only 5 ft 2 (and a half haha) myself so get adding everyone and talk to each other? :)

    I'm 5' 2 and a quarter. I always thought I was 5' 2 and a half, until I stupidly re-measured myself several months ago!

    4'10 - even the smallest amount of extra weight shows, so you can imagine why I want to lose 40+ lbs.

    Hi, I'm also 5'2"! Any extra weight is so noticeable!!! However, on the flipside, lost weight shows quickly too! x

    I'm 5ft tall and would like to lose inches. It's hard to say that I will lose weight as I do a lot of strength training. It didn't take long for me to realize that I shouldn't weight myself as it is not a direct reflection of my progress. Measurements and pics will have to do right now.

    I'm 4'11" (and a half...the half is so important, lol) - and I am with you guys....EVERY pound is visible when you are this short. And our calories have to be so efficient, you know? Rough!! Anyone feel free to add me for support/group complaint sessions. ;)

    5'4".....I have always hated being small but being 46 yrs old, I am used to it. But I agree, if my belly just grows a little, it looks so much more because of my small frame.

    4'11 here. Trying to get down to 115-118. Yes it's a very specific number range but when you are little you know the difference just a few lbs makes! Everyone please feel free to add me! I'm here every day... I'm not a super low calorie girl either. I've lost about 20 lbs so far 15 ish left to go!
