Shorties like me under 5'5 positive vibes only!

jenniferj0417 · January 2017

Trying to lose at least 50 pounds. By being short it seems like it's much easier to gain weight. I'm like a yoyo, my weight goes up and down. I have a hard time losing weight and keeping it off. I am a chef and sometimes it's hard to eat healthy. I am taking baby steps to change ingredients in my favorite dishes to make them more healthy. I'm looking for women around my size for tips and motivation!

I'm right at 5'5, and when I reach my ultimate goal I will have lost 50 lbs (still have about 12-13 lbs left; lost 45 lbs before I got pregnant with my second). I don't eat clean, just what fits in my calorie goal, and try to get more movement in during the day.

Good luck! Take it one day at a time, and figure out what works for you and your journey

Great! I'm adding you now!

I'm 5'1'' and I agree especially with nutrition information all being made for taller folk (ergo with much higher calorie goals) it can be really hard to keep track of stuff! My overall goal's around 35-45lbs since I started losing this time round so feel free to add me too!

jenniferj0417 · January 2017

Exactly! Great! Adding you now.

Hi Jennifer, I'm 5'2" and have about 10 to 15 more pounds I'd like to lose. I like to set small, achievable goals in the short-term. I find it makes it easier to get there and can help keep me motivated.

Please feel free to add me!

I'm short as hell lol 5'1 and have to lose about 50lbs. Taller people carry the weight better, at my weight, a tall person would actually look good lol add me if you'd like. I'm always open to add new friends with goals.

jenniferj0417 · January 2017

Thank you ladies! I hope we can be great encouragement for each other! I'm adding all of you now!!!

I'm 5' and have lost ~39 of a 50-pound goal. It's a struggle but so worth it! Feel free to add me

I'm 5'4" and also an endomorph body type so I know the feeling!! Every pound gained or lost for us looks like 5 pounds would on someone taller, and it seems to go on so easily but take forever to lose!

I will say that one thing that really helped cut calories for me was to decrease my use of fats in cooking- using 1/4 tablespoon of butter when I used to use 1 or 2... using spray oil instead of pouring in a glug or two of olive oil from the bottle... etc. You can even get the good oils in spray form now- olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil! I also steam or water sauté or roast/bake most of my veggies now. Remember butter and oils are about 120 calories per tablespoon so the calories can add up FAST!! And I know how much chefs like to bring out the flavor of food using fat.

I'm 4'11 and hoping to lose between 50-70ish pounds, yuck. Definitely need to get back on track, and I wish everyone good luck on their journeys!

TAKCEGM · January 2017

I'm a little guy! 5'2". Lost roughly 25 pounds - looking to lose another 10-15. Then start focusing on more and more strength to gain muscle. Right now, gym 5x a week, combining both strength and cardio! You can do it! Anyone can add me if they wish!
