    HI I'm Tracey.I'm 32 and I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Hypothyroidism, makes loosing weight an uphill struggle.

    Currently i'm using a static bike on the lower resistance setting and Exerbest gym class workout on the wii. Both are low impact so no stress on my joints.

    I have a blog http://tiredofbeing2tired.blogspot.com where i post a daily blog about how im coping, what im trying and what i find out about CFS alont the way.

    I was recommended this site as i have wasted money on weight watchers and tescos diets both of which didnt loose me a single lbs but cost me lost of £££'s.

    I'm also allergic to wheat, severely allergic to wheat and aspartame, which means alot of diet and none sugar food/drinks are a no go too.

    Coping everyday and my husband stops my buying chocolate. To date I havent had a single peice of choclate single boxing 2011 to 1 month and counting. It's not easy tho, I crave chocolate everyday.

    Hello, everyone! My name is Chelsey and I'm 5'1". Ever since I graduated from college, I've noticed I have gained a tremendous amount of weight. I was pretty sad about leaving college so I started eating a lot more junk food and not walking as much as I used to. I want to get in shape and be a healthier me. I was a little hesitant about joining the community because I like to think of myself as a shy person, but after browsing the boards for about a week now, I realize that the best part about MFP is the community love.

    I've already lost about ten pounds before I started MFP, but I have a long way to go until I reach my ultimate goal weight of about 130lbs. I am at 220lbs now and I want to reach about between 160 and 170lbs by June for a wedding. I am working out four to five times a week doing a combination of strength training and cardio with the elliptical machine and jump rope.

    If any one wants to be my friend or needs someone to give them motivational support, I am here to chat, swap recipe ideas, and work out routines!

    I'm 23 and 5'3. I'm a first year teacher and noticed when I got married my size and weight was fluctuating a lot (up and down). So, instead of risking it being up and staying up I have been making really healthy habits (46 oz + of water daily, exercise 6x a week, 5 fruits/veggies a day) and counting calories.

    Happy to be here! :)

    Hello Everyone! My name is Amanda and I'm 5'3. It's great to find tips for petite ladies.:wink: My weight is 134 and I would like to get down to 120. It's so hard to lose weight when you are short, don't have many pounds to lose, and I'm 43. Hopefully I will at least see a change in inches.

    woooooo, small people! i always like to think of myself as portable, or pocket sized..... :)

    i am Loz, i am 5'3" (grew an inch when i put on weight, how weird) and am trying to take off a fair bit. I am definitely looking at doing challenges, but i do tend to have fails after a couple of weeks on the challenges, so please kick my *kitten* if i am not on here every couple of days!!

    i.... don't know what else to say, eek!

    Loz xx

    Hi all I'm 5'2" 30yrs old and would love to be down to 110lbs. Its hard when everyone I work with is at least 5'6" and on a diet tell me that if i am 110 i will look sickly :cry: I started out at 152lbs and i have about 10 more to go. Truth be told I would rather have a toned tummy then a lower number on the scale:love:
