    Hiya everyone.
    I'm 5'1.5" (and yes the .05 is legit!) and 100 lbs. My goal is to slim down(or tone, at least) my huge, HUGE, short legs. XD
    Raise the flag, shorties!
    I need friends, btw. ;) Running motivation.

    I'm 54, diabetic, perimenopausal with hypothyroism. I'm now 5' 1 3/4". I USED to be 5' 3". I SHRANK!!! I almost cried when they measured me at the Drs. office. I hadn't been measured in a long time. I was upset because it meant I had to lose EVEN MORE weight than I thought. I'm still bitter :sad: :laugh: I've been on MFP for a long time and have lost some weight, but have 200 more to lose. My weight loss is so painfully slow. I wear a Fitbit and exercise 3 - 4 times a week with Daily Burn Beginners. I do eat all of my exercise calories, (because I like to eat) but have set my calorie goal at 1450 cals a day to counteract that. I can go 3 - 4 weeks without showing a weight loss on the scale. People at work have been telling me, wow you've lost a lot of weight. I just look at them with a blank stare because it's not showing on the scale. I'm frustrated but can't and won't quit simply because I can't. I will gain weight quickly if I do.

    You go girrl! I know you can do it. You might not be showing because your body might be tightening up and building muscles first. Just you wait and you'll be shedding the weight like autumn leaves. :)

    I'm 28, I've always seemed to have a crappy metabolism and a frame where weight loss and gain can seem drastic even if its 5 lbs. Anyone else in the vertically challenged boat feel free to add me.

    I have fluctuated from between 112 and 84 lbs over the last seven years, this time I'm determined to do things healthily :)
    A few pounds lost or gained is really noticeable on us shorties, which is great if you're losing!

    Being accountable to friends has helped me so much, feel free to add me for two-way motivation and support!
