I'm Vicky and I'm 4'11.5" on a very good day . Love talking to other "fun size" individuals because taller people don't seem to understand what a pound does to us or that are calorie counts aren't crazy given our heights :P.

Cindylou321

I know 10 pounds is a lot on fun size people, even as little 5 pounds makes a difference almost a whole jean size.

Just want to say HI. I am a shorty. I am a working mom with 3 kids, 2 grown step kids and a 4month old grand-baby. My husband

and I decided to get a membership to the local YMCA last November. And I found MFP because of a co-worker. I have totally

fallen in love with it!! I have really been able to keep track of what I am doing to myself. NO MORE EXCUSES ;-)

Hi, I'm 4'10" Glad to know I'm not the only shorty:). I have 2 grown children and 2 grandaughters ages 1 and 3. Need to get serious about getting in better shape. Hard with being short. Taller people don't understand, 2 lb is like 6 on a taller person. Hope the support will help keep me motivated.:happy:

Do you notice a difference? In the past when I've lost weight nobody's noticed until I lose 20. Soooo frustrating. Though my jeans did feel loose today.

Cindylou321

Yeah I can tell just like you can tell that your jeans are loose..

Wholly mackerel there's a lot of Shorties! Just made this group yesterday and am very please with how many members there are already.

My name is Scarlet, I am 25 years old and a mother of 2. One of which is only 6 months old. I'm 4'11.5 @ 180lbs. Goal weight is 115

We can definitely do this ladies!

Remember: IT TAKES 4 WEEKS FOR YOU TO SEE YOUR BODY CHANGING. IT TAKES 8 WEEKS FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND IT TAKES 12 WEEKS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD.

KEEP GOING!!!!!

Hello everyone!
My name is Brittany and I'm a newbie to the group.
I'm 5'0 and my HW 151, CW 130.5, GW 120-125. Looking to shed about 5-10 more but more importantly to me, tone up!

I'm so happy that this group exists! I know that I've found it challenging to see others have multi-pound weekly losses when I may only lose a .5 lb but I surely worked HARD for that darn pound to go away! It's great to have a 'fun sized' support network who understands, so feel free to add me.

Cheers to each of you on your healthy journeys!

Welcome

Ditto - welcome! It's especially hard when you're close to your goal, like you are. You can do it!

Hello everyone! I'm Megan and i'm 4'9. I'm glad I found this group of fun sized people like me. Feeel free to add me everyone! Good luck to you all.

welcome I am 4' 10" I love this group. Hope you do too. Just what us 'shorty's need :laugh:

Buddhasmiracle

Another shorty here. I'm Jean and I'm 4'11" . My goal is to loose 35 lbs and reduce BF from 44% to 25%. My daily calorie goal is 1600, which I haven't been doing very well with. it is based upon calcs I did on fitness frog:

Light exercise: TDEE 15% cut
1800 1552
Mod. Exercise: 2058 1749

I figured the 1600 averages out the two calcs on exercise
My diary and profile are open if anyone wants to have a peek.

Haven't been as successful as I had hoped loosing weight, but have lost alot of inches.

Cindylou321

Inches count, sometimes it just shows in inches first then the pounds come later... don't give up!!!

Hi, I'm Jill. I'm 23 and 5ft even. I currently weigh 149, and am looking to drop another 10-15 lbs by my wedding in September!

hippo11111

Hi I'm Karen 5'1" and very nearly 50. Want to lose 14lb before i'm 50 in July, as they say 50 is the new 40 and I am determined to have a great time.

"Fun Size"! I love it! I'm 5'1" and currently 155lbs :sad:

I'm starting Insanity tomorrow and can't wait to see my 60 day results. As a 'fun size' chick I feel like I have to fight for every single pound I lose! Taller friends just start to exercise and lose 5 lbs every week and within a month or 2 they're at their goal. So frusterating! Good to know there are others like me!

DyanCB

Hi everyone, it is so good to be with all of you "fun sized" folks! I am 55, 5 feet even. I only found MFP a week ago but I have already learned so much, especially that I simply have not been eating enough. What a bonus!

My stats:
SW - 120
GW - 110
Fat % - 23
Goal Fat % 18%

I used to think my goal was unattainable but no longer. Between all of the information I have learned and those of you out there who have been so generous to share your progress and results I know this is doable. AND, now add on women who are my size and understand the impact of gaining or losing a single pound - I am in love! Add me and we can continue to support each other.

retrobelle24

Hi! I'm 5 ft 1 in and weight 130.5

I'm really hoping to whittle down my hips, love handles and maybe not have my thighs touch for summer. It's super annoying to have my thighs touch when it's all hot and humid in the summer. Slowly getting there.

Hi, I'm Barb. I'm 5'1", 51 yrs old, 160 lbs, and diabetic. I'm looking for friends and motivation, so please feel free to send me a friend request. It's my first week here, and I'm really enjoying it so far.
