Love that there is a section just for the short ladies! I'm 5'2 and 187lbs currently.. GASP! I played sports all through high school and never had to motivate myself to get in shape - I had my crazy coaches for that. It's been 10 years since high school and now I really want to get back down close to my high school weight... that means losing 50LBS!! I could definitely use all of the motivation possible! Feel free to add me!0

I think we all 5"2 chicks want that Majic Goal of 125! I am 50 years old. When I started my mission of losing weight it was in 2011 and went from 156 to one 138. That was eating every 3 hours healthy to speed up my motabolism and exercising of course. It worked! I weight now 142 so I joined MFP along with my family. I have lost 1 pound the first week. My first goal is to get to 135. I don't know if I can physically get to 125? I guess I should say never say never? I know when you are younger its easier? Any tips0

Anyone who wants, feel free to add me. I am 5'3", had a bit of a struggle to get to 121. I am currently working on toning and maintaining my weight.0

Hi, Reginapham! I will be happy to be your fitness pal. I understand totally what you're going thru. This site is wonderful & it is helping me lose stubborn lbs.
I am 5 ' 5" & weigh 135. I weighed 139.8 when I started this program. I kept blaming my plateau & gradual weight gain on the fact that I'm 54 going on 55. I am quite active. However, I work in a high school library & the inactivity of that job can be a challenge. At least it's not as hard has being a kindergarten teacher!
I wish you luck. Be patient; how old are you? You probably have youth on your side whereas I don't. But I've been an athlete all my life.
Let's check in w/ each other. I post on the blog link related to this site, too.0 -
Hi, Maureen; just read your post. Wanted to let you know I can relate to the fact you're 50. I am 54 going on 55. For a couple years I could not lose a lb; but w/ the help of this program I am losing weight teach week. I'm in my 4th week w/ the program. At times I feel very hungry. It can be a mental challenge, huh?
This past Fri. nite I binged @ dinner. Healthy food but too much of it. Amazing how the calories add up quick!!0 -
I am 5'5" and weighing approx. 136.5 and wanting to get down to 120-125 as well. Feel free to add me.0

Count me in! 5'3", currently 140-143. Goal weight is 117-120. You have lots of buddies here!
My husband just started losing weight about 6 weeks ago, so I really need to get on it. He's lost about 10 pounds so far.
I'll check in with you all.
We WILL -- WILL--- Reach these goals! :-)0 -
Hey,
I am just over 5'2" and I am getting married in July. I am trying to get my weight down to about 125, but would LOVE to be at around 120, if I can, for my wedding day. I currently weigh about 136. It's getting cold outside so my desire to stay in and eat is getting tougher and tougher to fight! I really don't work out because of the nature of my stressful life. I know that it's just an excuse, but I really am stressed! I am a kindergarten teacher, in graduate school (expecting to graduate in the spring) and I am planning this wedding! My days are exhausting, but I feel like I just need a little encouragement to get me going!
Anyway, I am looking for some people who have similar weight goals to encourage me and I would love to do the same in return. Any takers?!
I'm the same height, a little heavier, and I'm getting married in October next year! I'm looking to start going for my masters in the spring, or looking for a good full time job with my BA. I feel your stress pain. My goal is 120-125 as well. More 125 because I've always been heavier than I look, guess just more muscle naturally0 -
Feel free to add me. I am just over 5'2" like you and currently I am 137. I would love to get in the 120's as well.0

^That's your answer there. You burn calories trying to stay warm. Eat less and let the cold do all the work.
....Does the OP still come back to her thread?0 -
