in Health and Weight Loss
It can be hard being a shorty like myself...pack on 5 lbs..look 10 lbs heavier...I have been at this for 3 months and am surprised at the amount of patience I have possessed (and the will power)...just looking for some more friends to boost my motivation...this site has been a godsend for me physically and emotionally....have a great day! :)

    Is 5ft 2" good enough?
    I totally know what you mean about gaining 5 and looking like you've gained 10.
    People say you don't need to lose weight but it can snowball before you know it!

    I am 5'0'' too. I just started on here. I love it but I need to work on my patience. I need to get that instant gratification out of my head. I hear ya about the 5lbs. A 5lb loss can make me feel really skinny and a 5lb gain can make me feel huge.

    I'm 4'11", so I know what you mean when you say a little weight looks like a lot on us. But the good news is, we only have to lose a little to look absolutely fabulous. You can do it!!!

    Another 5'0" here, anyone feel free to add me...although I've been using mfp for a while, I've mostly been a lurker on the forums so I don't know how to add people yet!
    You've done a great job on the weight loss so far, and I know exactly what you mean about the patience thing...this is the first time I've seriously tried to get my weight under control and I never thought I'd make it through a week, never mind months!

    I'm 5'0" on the dot. I lost 50lb last year using MFP and lots of exercise. Gained 20lb back over the winter. Ugh. Now have 30lb to lose to be at goal weight. Feel free to add me.
