Hi, short girls. I m 5'5'' and my weight is 120 lb. I can easyly gain so-called water weight up to 10 lb, but then I try quickly get rid of it. My werpon is mostly low cal, low carb diet and effective HIIT exercise in the gym and cardio treadmill at home. O...h other thing I do is fasting cardio in the morning before breakfast,( only water and vitamines). Yes, shorter women have to eat about 1/2 of their husbands and exercise about 2X of their husbands. That's cold thuth.
The other thing I want to tell u: never allow yourself to gain a lot of weight. It will be much harder to loose it then for tall people.

Thanks for your input. This does help a lot.

Condensed awesome checking in at 5'2 and 195.

Mini goal: 190
Mid goal: 175
Final: 150-165

I'm curious how the hell my shortness plus my dialysis adding to my weight (anywhere from 2-5pounds) is gonna work into all this.

Anyway,new friends are highly appreciated!

I'm 5'2" and goal is 1,290 per day. I've got 70 pounds to lose. I'm from Texas.

I've I was losing too fast at first at 1,200 calories, so after reading on the boards here, I upped it to 1,350. Now the loss is too slow and I can stand to lose a bit faster and going to try 1,290 that MFP recalculated me to.

I've sent out a few friend requests to some fellow shorties I've seen on a thread this morning and those eating around 1,200 calories. Would love to look at other's food diaries for ideas in that calorie range.

Feel free to add me if that sounds like you! Thanks.
