I'm am 5'2" as well and have about 10 pounds that I want to lose. I was there once, but I cannot seem to get back to it.
Fee free to add me as a friend.0 -
I'm 5ft 4.75 :-P, I consider myself a short girl who carries her weight well. I weigh 12stone 8 (176lbs) following Christmas, I'm a UK14.
I never was told I need to lose weight and I get told I'm silly when I try.
However, a year and a half ago I lost a lot of weight and almost achieved my goal, everyone agreed I looked great and I felt so much better. When at 10stone 10 (150lbs) I'm a definite size UK 10. After the biggest 'hiccup' I could possibly imagine I'm back at square one, in a very short space of time after a long period of maintenance and I'm looking for some real support this time around, to get there and keep it off.
Here to support and be supported.0 -
I'm your exact same height and weight and totally get what you're saying. Feel free to add me.:happy:0

I'm only 5 ft.. so any weight tends to show I need motivation too!
But yeah, add me!0 -
Hey, I'm 5'2 and seem to be alot heavier than most on here lol. it really shows on me. I have people saying you look ok as you are but when you're 28 and have 3 kids who need you chase around, this aint good haha. I am in desperate need of motivation and I am hoping I can find it on this site
Feel free to add0 -
I'm 5'2" and 163, totally understand!!! I think this is what I need, a support group of people who are dealing with the same stuff as I am! It's all about being comfortable in your own skin! I would like to lose 30 lbs, my doctors think I need to lose 50 but at 113 I would blow away in the wind! What are your favorite exercises/classes/schedules?0

You can add me if you like . I'm 5'0" and carried my weight well for a while . . . then I got pregnant before I lost that "little bit" of extra weight I was carrying. Couldn't get the pregnancy weight off myself and suddenly I was 50 lbs over my goal weight!
So I'm certainly short and looking to lose weight! I can relate. My "goal" is set to 110, but I haven't been that weight in 10 years and don't know if it's right for me anymore . . . my real goal is probably 120 then reassess.0 -
You can definitely do it! You can add me if you want!0

I totally get what you're saying. I'm 5'9" so I guess all my weight doesn't appear to my family like it does to me... I hear the "you look fine" and "you don't need to lose any weight" stuff quite often. For a long time, I thought they were right since I've had some self-esteem issues for a lof of my life. But by golly, when my "heavier than usual" jeans started to get snug and I had to go get some new ones, I knew that I was right and I need to block that other stuff out. It's nice to hear for when I'm having a bad day, but overall, I just listen to myself and try to be healthy.
You can add me if you want.
Good luck to you!0 -

Oh goodness, that is SO true! At 5'0" I got the whole "you're too small to lose weight" comments up to about 130 lbs. . . then they just stopped happening:laugh: . I guess that was my threshold for carrying weight well .0 -
same here. Same height and almost the same weight too. I share the same feeling as you. feel free to add.0

I'm with ya! 4'11" here and around 157 lb (hopefully that changes when I weight myself on Sunday!). Do it for you, not them!!0
