Short Girls UNITE!

5'1" and 3/4... :laugh: On a journey to lose 77lbs. I tell anyone who quotes the BMI scale at me to bite my *kitten*. Even when I worked out five days a week and was on a super strict diet, my lowest weight was 142 which would still have me at obese. :grumble:

Thankfully, my family doctor doesn't believe in judging anything just by one category. He calls it lazy doctoring. I've had all the bloodwork and tests. I could use some conditioning for my heart but I have Neurocardiogenic Syncope, so it's never going to be top-notch. Other than that, even at 223lbs, I'm considered healthy in his eyes. Crazy I know, but I didn't get this way by eating lard all day long. I've never been a bad eater, I just have a crappy metabolism, always have. -Again, it's part of my disorder- I could literally sit around eating only lettuce and I'd balloon up. :grumble:

But for my own sanity, my poor bad knees (dislocated both playing sports), and my love of fashion I'm working on my health. Since I've NEVER been 100lbs in my adult life, my Doctor and I arrived at about 160lbs being a healthy, maintainable, enjoy-life-able weight goal to stick to.

So, here's to us Shorties! Life's harder on us, but that just makes us better fighters and, hey, it's easier for us to reach the tender spots. :laugh:

I'm 5 ft even, 150lbs. Looking to lose about 25-30lbs to bring me to 125/120! It's a slowww process so far. Add me!!

I'm 4'10.5 and my goal weight is 120 so 40lbs to go!! Currently doing the 30DS and hoping it gives me motivation to reach my goal weight.. Feel free to add me!!

I am 5'1" and have 90 pounds to get rid of. Please add me, I would love the support!! GW: 125
:happy:

Awesome job so far!

I am 4'11" and about 110 pounds, goal is 95 and started at 154.

Feel free to add me!

I am actually just under 5'2" and I started with 80-90 lbs to lose last year. Sadly, I only lost 33 lbs in 11 months, so I still have 50-60 to lose.

I will tell you though, if you lift heavy, you can weigh more and not look like it! I have pictures on my profile of me at almost the exact same weight, but on one I am obviously morbidly obese, and in the other one I just look fat.

Great work! I don't think I've seen a better example of someone weighing the same and looking so much different as your side by side pictures in your profile. I've recently started NROL4W and this was a nice motivation boost for me. I am struggling to lose my last 10 pounds, but if I can "shrink" like you have and stay the same weight as I am now, I'll consider it a success!

ETA: I am 5'2" and have been aiming for 115 lbs.

How many calories per day are you doing? I turn 65 years soon and am having trouble getting below 1350 right now. Just my second day.

I'm 5'1" with an ultimate goal of the 130's- anything less wouldn't look right since I'm built broad. Feel free to add me!

5'1, joining the club

4'10"
Current weight 135lbs size 6

My goal is 119lbs-110lbs

I aim for 800 calories a day...sometimes I go a little over 1,000, but usually not too much more. I had weight loss surgery last year, so no, I will NOT die b/c I eat less than 1200 calories a day

I've been lazy the past few months, no working out. But i NEED toning ASAP!
