Hey ya'll! My name is Brooke and I am new to this website. I've been "obsessing" over my weight for quite some time now. I don't weight a whole lot (number wise) but I'm very short so I do NOT carry my weight well. It has been an epic battle for me to get thinner. I started out at 150 about 2 years ago and was able to shed 20lbs fairly easy. Since then, I've been experiencing the yo-yo effect. (fluctuating from 120 to 130 again). I'm trying to get to a healthier, happier me, and this website seems wonderful for my journey! :happy:

    Hi Brooke!

    I'm in a similar situation to you - I've always said that being short makes every extra pound look like three! I'm 135 which is in the healthy range for me but trying to get back to about 123 which is where I feel the best.

    Using MFP I've managed to lose 6lb in a month, so it can be done! Best of luck!
