Kind of new - looking for other petite women friends!

srp2011

Hi,

I've been on MFP now for about 2 months and I love this site. I've gotten so many great ideas from reading about other people's experiences. Tracking what I eat has really helped me be more consistent and inspired to eat better. As a petite woman (5'0"), I'm all too aware that those of us who are height-challenged face special struggles as we try to lose weight. Our BMRs just don't allow as much wiggle-room as our taller friends have. I'd like to find some other petite women friends for mutual support and encouragement as we take on this journey to fitness and good health.

I'm 5'2" and I def know what you mean with not much wiggle room. But the good thing is that when we lose a few pounds, it's really shows since there's less of us! And yes, shorties can be runners, I've gotten into it lately.

I'm a little taller at 5 foot 4 but have managed to get down to 122lbs so I know what you mean about a lack of 'wiggle room'. Friend me if I'm not too tall to be considered petite :-)

Wow - it's so encouraging to see that there are so many of us petite but powerful women with so much determination to get healthy! Good luck to everyone!

I'm almost 5' 2" - always thinks its a bit misleading to say I am so say 'almost', as I'm more like 5' 1.5" but dont admit that fully to myself!!

Definately understand the no wiggle room problem, a few pounds makes a massive difference when it comes to fitting into my jeans. Will add you now!
