in Introduce Yourself
I am looking for friends that are around 5'0" because then we can compare things that work and don't. It is hard to do that with people that are not around that hieght. Not trying to offend anyone. It is just hard being so short. 5 lbs looks like 20.:wink:

    Feel free to add me, I'm 5'1 1/2.... Loosing and keeping weight off has always been difficult, loosing 2lbs is like a average height person loosing 6!:sad:

    I couldn't agree more! I am between 5'3 and 5'4! I don't even have to put on any weight to look big! I miss gym for a week and water retention does it! How's everybody's body frame? Even though I am short I am a medium frame!

    Hello fellow shorties. I am just shy of 5 foot on my good days.

    I totally agree just a pound or two extra on me shows so much. There isn't anywhere to distribute it since I am so short.

    Feel free to add me.

    Hey friends! Please add me! I am 5'0" and I can TOTALLY relate to the myriad dilemmas we short people face when it comes to weight loss... a tiny gain or loss looks so obvious, and we're not even supposed to be eating that many calories a day even if we exercise, so it's hard to create a deficit while still maintaining a nourishing diet. This also makes gaining weight super easy because a tiny snack can put us over our limits. :*(

    Short people, unite!

    I have a Medium fram but my shoulders are so wide. Or maybe they just look like it because my"girls" are so big, which will never change. I wish I was the small frame though I love being a little curvy.

    I have added everyone to this point. If I have missed you for some odd reason let me know!!!

    I'm also 5' 2". I don't have an hourglass body, and I blame it on my height. (Even if that isn't a valid theory, I'm going with it!) :)

    I'm 5'1 I've never been 'skinny' I always think I look short and dumpy. Trying to lose weight so I'm a size 12 a 10 would be even better! I carry weight around my bottom half which I think makes me look bigger :(

    I'm 5'0" even without shoes. I have a long way to go (thank you thyroid) but would like to be around 130 just to get out of the danger zone. I'll set a new goal once I get there.

    best thing to do is don't set a number on it bcuz ur rite a little weight looks extreme on us (I'm 5'0) not just with weight lost but weight gain. lose 5 looks like u lost 20 gain 5 and it looks like u gained 20. so I stopped trying to lose a number and focused on losing my gut toning my hips and thighs arms etc...I've been much more successfull that way! feel free to add!
