    I am proud of all you shorties who saw the need to get and stick with a fitness program before it got too overwhelming. I am 62 knew I had a problem but didn't get help soon enough which led to depression and more weight gain. In Dec. 2012 I retired from a very stressful job and vowed to get my life under control. I am only 4'11" and was closing in on 240 last Jan. I am happy to say I am now down 70#s. Thanks to lots of pool gym, my fitness pal and a great team of weight loss specialists. Don't give up I am proof it is never too late. I am so much healthier then I was 8 months ago. Good Luck

    Hi! My name is Eugenia. I'm 5'1', and I'm trying to get rid of my extra pounds. I'm Russian, since 2010 I've been living in Canada. In Windsor, Ontario, to be precise. I am a walker, I like taking long walks early night, after the sunset. I enjoy being physically active. I also like cooking. I'd say. I'm a gourmet (which is not that helpful for losing weight). I'm looking for MFP-friends.

    HI! My name is Jules. I'm 4'11". 36yrs old (YIKES). I've got over 50lbs to lose. I have health issues that can stall my progress but since this about changing my life... it's not really ever stalled :) Starting my healthy journey a few years ago has always been about Me and the rest of my life. :) Feel free to add me :) Can't wait to get on the spreadsheet and start whatever challenge is in progress :)

    Hi, my name is Kay and I live in Virginia. I'm about 4'7.5", and I'm needing to drop some major weight! I'm currently working with a Health Coach, who suggested I use this site. So far, so good. It's just going so slowly...but I'm just warming up! Have a great day!

    Hello everyone, I'm Katt and I am 5ft1 and almost 41. I started at 173lbs and am now at 162lbs and want to get to 123lbs because that will be a nice round 50 :laugh: There is no way I'd have ever believed it would be possible but since joining this site I see many have done it and many have lost much, much more. I feel it is different this time, I have accepted it will not be a quick process and am starting as I mean to go on and living life along the way. For exercise I walk a lot and use fitness dvds. I am currently doing the 30 Day Shred and am about to do level 2 day 8 tomorrow :smile:

    Hi all,

    I'm new to MFP and working hard to get back to a healthy weight. I'm 'almost' 62 and have dieted off and on since I was 14. So...I'm trying to focus on healthy lifestyle, more exercise and dealing with some food intolerances that I hope will also improve. I need to loose about 20 lbs, I'm happy with anything under 130 ! My goal is to exercise more, reduce carbs.

    Hi,

    I'm 5'0" and in my mid 45. Is anyone else 5'0" and mid 40s?
    I definitely don't burn calories like I did in my 30s.
    I 'm working on losing 24 pounds to go back to a healthy BMI (120 lbs).
    I will do a combo of speed walking (outside and in gym) and Youtube clips of exercises to stretch and maintain muscles.
    I saw a nutritionist who put me on a 1300 calories a day diet, with a specific proportion of fat, protein, and carbs. She was all about setting a realistic plan to help me lose weight slowly.
    I hope I get to meet others who are 5'0" and 40s. :)

    Hi,
    I'm Melissa and I am 5'2" with my sneakers on!
    I am currently 170 and on my way to lose 26 more.
    I'm 44 so I picked 144 as a goal weight, but that would put me at a healthy range.
    I walk ~3X per week, it would be more but more frequently now I am practicing softball with my DD13.

    Hi! I'm Xena, and I have 67 lbs to go (started out having to lose 70, so every bit feels like a giant victory!). I'm 5'2 (if I stretch a bit) and lovingly call myself a Hobbit (I do love my meals and my strolls through the garden lol). I live in BC, Canada and we just moved to this town a week ago, so you can imagine how stressed out my life is at the moment. I have never seen so many boxes in one place at one time outside of the ending scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. lol Anyway, thanks for letting me int he grop and I look forward to chatting with everyone and lending my support as much as I can. Best of luck to all on their journeys! :)

    Hello fellow shortiesss!!:) my name is Esmay and I'm 5'1". I am currently trying to recover from an eating disorder of 4 years. Relearning how to have a healthy relationship with food and body image, and--most importantly--with myself :). I'm also a vegan and self taught yogi. I love working out but history has shown that I tend to over do it, especially when it comes to cardio. I'm trying to he a basic workout routine going that will just tone my muscles. I want to be lean and strong, no longer trying to be a dainty skeleton:). And I'm so excited that this group is a thing!! Yay:) anyone is free to friend me on here. Always looking for fellow supporters for a healthy life!

    Good luck to everyone on their weighs journey!!:))
