Hello
I've just began my hopefully successful journey at Myfitnesspal. I've already looked over some success stories and am amazed at how amazing everyone looks! Although I haven't seen any 'shorter' peoples success stories or pictures! If you could post yours that would be great and a huge boost of motivation to get me going!
I'm 5'2 and weigh 154 pounds. My goal is 130, I just want the BMI calculator to say healthy instead of overweight!
Thanks for your time, Holly
