in Motivation and Support
So, after reading about another short girl's success in losing weight, I wanted to create a group for those of us who are vertically challenged (and therefore find it harder to lose weight and see such big differences when we lose even a little of it). I myself am 5'3" and need to lose about 25 pounds. Feel free to post inspiration for each other or successes/failures or thoughts!

Hope to see this take off as a motivational group for us shorties! I tried to find a group like this but if I just missed it, then PLEASE move this thread or delete it, etc.

:-P

    I am just over 5 feet tall, and I am with you! It has always killed me that I can say that I want to lose a few pounds and people act as though the tiny amount I mention is insignificant. On my frame, 5 pounds is a pants size. That's a big issue when some of my friends are closer to 6 feet tall. To make matters worse, I weigh 140 lbs., and I am a size 6 or 8. People look at me cross-eyed when I say I need to lose weight. 140 is nearly obese for someone my height! Ugh....

    heh, sign me up - 5'4" as long as i stand really straight. my scale is not cooperating at the moment but i've dropped 18+ give or take, still have at least 20 to go. Very true that 5 pounds on us "shorties" is vastly different than 5 pounds on someone taller. :grumble:

    5'2 here! I have about 41 lbs to go. There's always room for more shortie threads on the site I'm sure. XD

    5'2 here.
    I have a question!
    My waist goal is 25 inches.
    But I've seen some tall people with that goal (5'5")
    So... should I be aiming for something smaller?
    24 seems okay, but 23 sounds completely out of my league.
