Calling all petite women 5'3" and under Friends needed!

Hi everyone,

New to this site but really loving the app I'm 5'1 and currently about 182 having been a bigger girl for most of my life. Before my little boy I did get down to around 130 but once I got preggers I went way too big and managed to get back down to the 180's. I workout as much as I can, mixture of interval cardio weights and walking more in the day. My goal is to get into the right bmi and stay there!

Does everyone eat the exercise cals back? It's the first time I've had a proper calculator that splits and sorts the information so hoping it'll work as an incentive to put the biscuits back on the shelf

I don't eat excercise calories back. I look at them as a free card for bumping up the number for the week of excess.

Hi - I'm just under 5'1" and currently at 142, planning to get down to at least 125. I'm a WW veteran and was always successful on the program but going back to work full time after two kids and turning 40 has completely changed my ability to lose weight. After being at a standstill on WW for so long and struggling, I quit a few months ago and then found this app.

I'm really liking it so far but frustrated that my second week weigh-in (this past Monday), I actually regained a pound after having lost 4 lbs. the first week. I'm trying to exercise 4 - 5 times a week and staying between 1200 - 1500 calories. I love Jillian Michaels DVDs and walking/running outside, but am also fighting plantar fasciitis right now, which is a huge bummer.

Still being brand new to MFP, I'd also love some other short friends struggling with the same things I am!

I am just under 5'2" (I call it 5'1 and three quarters!) and started on MFP last fall however started my entire weight loss journey January 2012. My highest weight was 244.4 pounds and I am currently in the low to mid 130s (lowest was right around 130). Am working towards reaching my first goal of 120 but I'd ultimately like to be 110-115.

It is truly possible to lose the weight as long as you STICK with it. Remind yourself that each positive change you make and each day that goes by is another step closer to success. If you are tired of starting over, then don't stop! Keep going and your self esteem will really skyrocket the more you stick with your plan...not to mention you will see results that really amaze you.

Definitely add me if you'd like!

Geez, I feel like such a little porker lol I've never been able to eat only 1200.I'm 5'2.5 and 125 and eat 1550 net on non active days..upwards of 2200 on workout days.. It hasn't seem to affected my weight loss, only a few pounds form goal now. I know for myself, trying to eat low cal would be unsustainable.

5'2.5". Yes, I'm proud of that .5". XD Been obese (gods I hate that word) all my life. I never really considered myself being obese because I didn't look completely and utterly disgustingly fat. I just looked like I need to lose a good bit of weight.

Hi! I am 5'3 and 178. I know that I want to weigh no more than 135. I will see how I look before deciding if I want to lose more. I hope to weigh at least 135 before Christmas.

anyone can add me as well. I am 128 pounds. I started out at 170. I have been working out for a year and 2 months now.

Checking in! I'm 4'11," and I love having fellow shorties for friends. I feel like our margin for error is very slim. Add me!

Hi I'm 5'2" 171 pounds I want to be 125-130 pounds. I would love someone to chat with. We can encourage each other.

Hello all! I am 36 years old with four children. I am currently 172 and would like to get down to 128. I have been doing insanity and cross fit the last week and lost five pounds! Changed diet to clean foods and eat around 1200 calories daily. Exercise six days a week. Need more support from other short women on this same journey

Feel free to add me!

Thanks!

Juat be careful with the foods you eat...there are many that think that if they exercise that they can still eat a bit of what they want. The diet goes hand in hand. I know some veggies that still eat french fries, cookies, carbs, and never lose weight. Just think...you cant take back 23hrs of bad habits in 1hr a day...you have to keep it up 24/7.
