    Yay, I'm glad you guys liked my name! :happy:

    I also round up to 5'0 LOL!! :blushing:

    I am 131.6 right now. I would like to get to 118...at that point I should be sub-20% body fat. My short-term goal is 127 by New Year's. I have dropped 6 lbs since October and it made a HUGE difference. It's a double-edged sword-- it makes a big difference either way!

    Yea!

    Are we going by lbs or % of total body weight? I feel like it's harder for us petite girls to lose a lot of poundage each week.

    We should also give tips on good workout clothing--I can't ever find anything that fits correctly in length! :tongue:

    I am so excited to join this group. I'm 5'0" and currently at 133. I like the idea of the winner choosing the next weeks challenge. What day would we be weighing in?

    songbrydsswwet: I have to a container of safety pins that sits next to my workout pants. I am all for suggestions.

    I'm already at my goal weight-just want to maintain what I'm at. 90 is about at perfect as I can get although an inch or two off my tummy would be nice (not sure I can do it...since most of it is loose skin from my pregnancy).

    I love it!

    5'2 & 1/2
    Currently 116lbs
    Not sure about goal weight - maybe 112-113? I know I want a few more inches off the muffin top and some serious toning. Had twins 21 months ago - tummy needs work!!

    Did well through July - October and lost about 8lbs, last few weeks I have been out of the gym and not eating very well. This will be a great motivator - a group of shorties!!

    I also like the idea of the winner chosing the challenge for the week and I love the name!

    I think 5'4" and under is just right. I'm really glad we're going to make a group. 140 sounds perfect to a bunch of the taller women and I feel silly posting on some challenges where women are close to 200 but if they knew I was so short and I should be more like 115 to 120... 20lbs is a lot on this little frame and it shows big time in my legs!!

    I either cut the ends off or wear leggings because I can roll them up since they're tight. :ohwell:

    We would go by % of total bodyweight lost. So if I weigh 150 lbs, losing 2 lb would be 1.3% of my bodyweight. But if I weigh 110 lbs, losing 2 lbs would be 1.8% of my bodyweight. So even though the same # of lbs is lost, it's a larger change for someone who weighs less.

    I agree I think we should go by % of body weight!

    I'm in! 5'2 here! Love all the ideas so far, even though I'm not really clear on how to do the % of body weight lost!
