in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,

I am new to this website and I have been battling my weight for 20+ years. I had recently lost 59 pounds thanks to the bodybugg/fitbit and running. However, in the last 4 months I have gained 12 of those pounds back and I cannot get these buggers off.

Each day is a new day, but it is so discouraging when I was only 10 pounds away from my goal, and now I am 22 pounds away :(

I am only 4' 11.5 tall and I weigh 152.6 - need/want to get to 130, that would be ideal.

Any other short women out here finding it hard to get the weight off and keep it off. Would love to chat.

Thanks
Claudette

    Congrats!! I'm 4ft 11 too (only just).
    My starting weight was 126lbs (It may not sound like much, but I carried it off REALLY badly).
    My current weight is 116lbs.
    My goals weight is about 100lbs (Again, I know it doesn't sound like much, but everyone looks different at different weights, and from what I can see, I wouldn't be too skinny at about 100 (: (:

    My wife was about your size and fighting to get those last 20 off. She stayed on her regiman but started taking vitamin B complex and African Mango seed extract for 3 months and those 20 lbs are not gone plus and extra 5. I recently started taking it as well and wow what a diffrence!

    Hello all,

    Thanks so much for responding - we shorties need to stick together :)

    Feel free to add me to your friends list, would love to help encourage, get encouragement from folks with the same challenge as myself. Perhaps we can even start some monthly challenges to help each other along.
