edited January 2 in Motivation and Support
My name is Jolene and I'm 22 years old, 5'4" & 168lbs. I keep having and reading a lot of questions for women around this height and I think it would be nice to gather us into a bunch for support. I also figure we could help each other by answering questions from our own experiences. I think it could be very beneficial so anyone 5'3"-5'5" who would be interested, let me know :]

    I'm 5'3" and 135lbs. I'm in. Being a shorty any extra weight is so noticeable and as I get older it is getting more difficult to lose, especially after having five children! I am definitely interested :)

    Petites have a different spin on weightloss, IMO. It would be nice to have a group to chat about it :)

    Hi everyone! My internet was a jerk last night because of rain, but I will start a group ASAP and post it here in a minute :] so nice to see people interested and @ soaringlikean Sure! Why not :] I dont mind if you dont mind. This is all about support and motivation, not clicks. I just figured it is good to see people around a similar height/weight as you for help with calorie intake and other issues. 5'1" isnt that different xoxo

    ^ Link to the group for anyone that didn't receive the invites I sent :]
    I was thinking I will also make a worksheet/spreadsheet online for us to update our losses just for some extra inspiration.
