    Hi there, I'm 5'4" too. I'm Canadian, but my husband's English, so over the past twenty years this "colonial" has been assimilated into the collective (no, I'm not a Trekkie, my husband is). I know so well how you feel. This past spring, I actually passed on a job interview at the County Courthouse because I saw my reflection in the shop mirror. How counterproductive and self-destructive that was!

    As you can see from the ticker, I have a loooong way to go. I lost 30 lb and gained it back, partly because of why I was losing the weight. I was yearning to be that tiny little size 8 girl I was, but at 42-years-old, the real worry is staying alive and healthy for my severely autistic daughter. This time, I believe I am doing this for the right reasons.

    This work we are doing (and losing weight requires diligence and work) takes courage; and courage is fuelled by love. Self-love is not selfish, because if we love ourselves we can better love others. It takes courage to go on the bus or wherever, but steel your resolve--you have a right to live life and go anywhere you want!

    If you want to be on my friend list, I could use encouragement too!:flowerforyou:

    I am also 5'4" and from the UK. Feel free to add.

    While we are all here can I ask what people's weight and dress size are / were? I see some people say they have reached 7.5 stone and I think I would have to lose a leg or maybe both to ever get to that! At the moment I am a size 16-18 and I am currently at 15stone 2! I would just like confirmation if I am a freak of nature or not :laugh: I am planning to aim for around 12 stone at the moment.

    Hi Floyd, in answer to your question I'm 13 stone and I'm a UK dress size 12/14. I agree with you, it's difficult to tell by weight alone. My mum is 5,2, 14 stone and a size 22 which to me seems strange as I'm barely lighter, although I'm taller.

    The scales isnt the end of it all tho, it doesnt take into account what is muscle weight which would make you look slimmer and fit into smaller clothes than someone who is the same weight but has a higher fat weight..that doesnt even account for bone densities and other factors like fluids that all contribute to the total weight.

    Thanks, that sounds more similar (although lighter) than me. When I was a size 12 I was around 12 stone. It amazes me how much people's weight can differ, I remember I used to borrow and lend clothes to a friend when we would go out, we were pretty much exactly the same size, but she was two stone lighter than me.
