5'2" small frames hows it goin?

I'm 5'2" and I have a very small frame. I am 35 and a mother of two. I am a dancer and I lift weights. I weigh between 100 and 102. I only lost about 5 pounds, but went down 3 sizes in clothing. Lifting weights helped me the most, at this point in my life. I have always been fit, but I need to work at it, especially after children and as I am getting older (and I've dealt with injuries). I always like sharing clothing resources with other extra petite ladies.

I've seen some of your other posts and they are always so inspiring. Could you tell me what you have done/do specifically as far as lifting weights goes. I'm still so unsure of myself when it comes to strength training. I don't have much left to lose but I know I'll be happier with my shape if I incorporate some lifting.

Of course, I would appreciate anyone's suggestions. THANKS!

Thanks! Sure. I can send you a message later (when I have more time). :flowerforyou:

Hi, so I get a lot of info from a lot of different sources on the internet. I pay attention on mfp and on other blogs and follow various blogs about weight lifting. But, mainly what has been helpful to me is the book, "The New Rules Of Lifting For Life". Helped me understand form and the basics, and various options and how to progress and how to fit weight lifting into my life along with my dancing and my past injuries and structural/orthopedic issues. I take my time, to really focus and learn form and be able to progress and increase my weights.
