Fit and Fun Sized (those under 5'4") for May 2012

sunigetsfit

Hi all!

I joined around jan but have been on and off. Back on it now though. I'm almost 5'1" and am 163 lbs as of today.
Would love to get down to at least 125 lbs then go from there.

Here's to making this summer count!
Feel free to friend me

I highly recommend this C25K program.
You don't have to set the goal of finishing it. Just the incremental training is a great way to build up your endurance.

My gf who DOES NOT WORKOUT did this program and we ran a 5K together last month!!!

So unfortunatly I gained 2 pounds this week so now I am at 136 pounds. I have been going to so many parties lately that its getting kinda hard to loose weight. I really have to get motivated to excercise so I have more calories to eat. We will see what next week brings but I will continue to try to loose the last couple of pounds.

I feel like I am eating all day, more than I have ever in my life, and 1200 is too much for me. I eat all day and usually hit between 900-1100. I'm not starving and I'm not eating only salad, though I am a vegetarian (well, pescetarian but no one ever knows what that is). Is this weird? I was hoping because I am small that that would be the reason.

May I see your food diary?
I'm curious what you are eating, when you say you eat all day.
When I was only 1200 calories, I felt like I had hardly any food.
Do you also eat enough protein? Many many people do not eat enough protein. My body treats carbs as plain sugar. I might as well eat a bowl of sugar if I eat a bowl of noodles.
Are you drinking enough water? Up it to 10 glasses a day or more.

Of course! Although I did JUST start logging my food. I don't get enough protien, but I do drink plenty of water.

I have come to the conclusion that I don't like eggplant, it seems like I try it every year but it is just so horribly bitter that I can't eat more then a bite or two. Last night I had a craving for vegitables, so I roasted a bunch and added eggplant. Nope, never again, it is offiacially on my "Yucky Vegitable" list.

Hello everyone,

I have been a "bad" group leader these last few months, but my mom (94 and lives with us) is not doing well these days. I am blessed that my parents are in their mid-90s and live with me. I know that. No complaints on that. Sometimes, I just have too much to do. Mom went from being fiercely independent one day to being hardly able to move the next. It is being a long haul with doctors and test to see what is going on. Dad at 92 is stepping up to the plate and doing more to help himself and her. My kids are pitching in too.

In any event, here is the link to the new forum for June. I will try to do do better this month about logging all my food and posting in the forums.

I've been using MFP off and on, mostly off lately. I'm starting up again, especially as I've been plateaued at 153-154 for the past 2 months. I'm 5'0 and working my way down to my goal weight of 120 lbs. It'll be nice to chat with a group of fun sized gals like me .

I am just barely fun sized. I am 5'3" and stuck at 135. Would love to get these next 5 pounds off in the next few weeks before going to Disney. So I have been mainly running only 3 miles at a time however. So I thought I would add in some weight training too. Hoping that it helps to kick me into gear. Hope that everyone here finds support and encouragement.

I know for my body, adding weights literally melts the pounds off.....in addition to the cardio, it can make a HUGE difference!
