    First time posting on here. I started with this website a couple days ago. I am 5'4" and weigh 249lbs.. I lost about 20 lbs a few years back but I think it's been creeping back on me. (yikes!) I would really like to start a family within the next few years and it finally clicked that I'd like to be able to run around with kids and play soccer etc... Wish me luck and please add me I know I'll need the encouragement and will help in any way I can as well :)

    I'm 5'3"-ish (okay, so I slightly round up because it makes me feel better) and fluctuation between 230-235 right now. I'd say we're pretty close!

    Hi, I'm new to this site. But wow, so many other short people! I'm 5'2 (technically 5'1" and 3/4", but meh) and when I graduated school a few months ago, I was 205 lbs. Now, I'm 163 lbs and trying to lose 13 more, or at least go down another pant size. This is my first time posting here, but hi! Hm... weight lifting? I do strength training 3x a week, but not much, mostly cardio. I wish you and everyone else luck in your venture! I know you'll get there!

    5'2 highest weight 175. I have lost 11 lbs in 6 weeks or so. Slow and steady wins the race IMO. I have not even attempted weight training yet but we have a Bowflex and will start using it again soon. I've done this all with changing my diet by being here and generally walking anywhere between 3.0-3.4 mph on an incline of 5-10%. Here's my thing though. My husband and son are both 6 feet tall. They have a longer gait and I always have to almost jog to keep up with them walking anywhere. So...don't I take more steps on the treadmill and therefore burn more calories then if they were to do the exact same thing on the treadmill? I've always wondered that.
