in Motivation and Support
Just looking to see if anyone is interesting in starting some motivation/support group for those of us with goal weights of 100 lbs to 105 lbs. Sometimes it's hard to compare with people with much higher goal weights, since our calories are usually so much lower.

I was thinking to start a group where we could post daily to support each other. We could keep track of weights, calories or whatever we want. I think a separate group could be nice, so we can speak freely about what it's like to have a pretty low GW without looking crazy to people that are maybe a lot taller or just have higher GWs.

What do you guys think?

    My goal wt is 100 lbs. I was there and maintained for over a year but I have put back on 10 lbs. that is 10% of my body wt which is a lot!!! I am starting to take it off but it comes off so slow. I loved the way all my clothes fit at 100lbs. Now they are a little tight. I know I can do this but the calories allowed per day are low even with exercise

    yeah, that's the problem i have with just following everyone else on these boards. My calories are much lower than someone aiming for 135 lbs or something.

    I want to start a group to support us smaller ladies. Would you be interested? or just string of posts on this board?

    After reading your other posts, it seems you are trying to get to a weight, that puts you in an underweight category, for BMI. Why do you feel you need to be underweight?

    Unfortunately I think most of the people you find are going to be people who claim to be 18 and want to talk about burning off 3 cheetos in gym class.

    I see you're an actual adult and from your SN I assume there's legit advantages for being that light, so I wish you luck.

    um, no it doesn't.

    and MoreBean LOL, you're probably right. I'm really just looking for fellow shorties that have small frames and want to attain our potential. sigh. Most people think you're insane to want to be close to 100 lbs, and I was just looking for somewhere to post without judgement, unintentional though it may be.

    I'd be in for such a group - I'm 5'0" with a very small frame, and my goal is 99-102. That's actually about 10 lbs heavier than I was in college (when I had a super metabolism and could eat anything and everything I wanted - that was just my natural setpoint and I was very healthy), so its a reasonable weight for my age - I actually got down to 102 several years ago and felt great, but a sedentary desk job with lots of travel and eating out put the pounds on. I have about 10 lbs to go, and would love to commiserate about the trials and tribulations of losing when you're short and don't have a lot to lose :grumble: Feel free to send me a FR if the group doesn't take off.

    In another one of your posts, you said you are 5' 2.75". If you are 100 pounds, it will put your BMI at 17.9. I was under the impression that anything under 18.5, is considered underweight. I am not judging you. Just encouraging you to love your body, at a normal weight. Please accept my apologies, if it came out at harsh or judgmental. Good luck on your journey.

    soupandcookie: thanks for the concern. I understand it was well-meant. I am 5' 2.75", indeed, but my goal weight is not 100. I put that as the lower end of the range in my topic. My GW is actually 103 which puts me at a BMI of 18.8 or so. BMI is also not the most accurate on an individual level, so I don't go by that 100% and instead go by my body and BF% and how I feel.

    srp2011 & aubyshortcake - Ok, I'll get the group started and, provided I can figure out all this computer-y stuff, send out invites to those who have replied to this thread.
