Hey all, my name is Marley and I'm new to MFP!

I've been kind of lurking in the forums for the past couple of days, and it is amazing to me that nobody here has one bad thing to say about anything or anyone. :happy: You guys are remarkable!

Your stories are all so inspirational, and I wish the best luck to all of you. I know that I am trying my hardest!

I'm 5 foot 1 inch, and extra weight shows very easily on the shortest of short people :cry: But I've been on less than a week and I already feel better about myself and the changes I am going to make! My parents started MFP in October, and now I'm here and ready to go!

    Hi there Marly and welcome. Stick with MFP and you will continue to feel fantastic and see results. I am only 4'11" so I know what you mean about being a small person. I jokingly refer to myself as shortround, but I'm working on getting rid of the "round" part.

    Good luck, have fun with this and don't be a lurker it's much more fun to participate.

    Welcome!

    Good luck to you!!

    You can do this! Just take it a week at a time and the small, healthy losses will add up much faster than you think they will!!
