I'd love to find some more short women! 5'4 and under :)

Hi Catie!
I'm 34 and am 5'1". It's not easy keeping my weight at 131 and I'm trying to lose 10lbs. At one point in my teenage years, I weighed 173!!!! It was then I went on a health craze. However, I attained crohn's disease in the past 10 yrs and my weight has been down below 100. If you can imagine how I feel right now being 131 having been 99 lbs a year and a half ago.

As far as your weight goes you can lose it real fast! In fact, when I was 17 and decided to get serious about my weight loss, I lost 65 lbs in 3 months. When you're overweight, your body sheds pounds quickly! I ate huge salads at lunch with one piece of bread or croutons, low fat dressing. For dinner, I had tomato soup cooked with water not milk and a veggie sandwich with light miracle whip. For snacks I ate apples, oranges, grapes, and carrot sticks dipped in good ol' miracle whip. For drinks, I had lots of lemon or lime water or diet coke. I did this for three months and the lbs. dropped off. Now of course, I'm not sure if that was healthy at the time. I totally understand that it sucks to be short and stout! It's not easy being short and hungry! I'm with you. If you need any advice just ask. I eat a lot better these days. I'm just looking to lose these pesky 10 lbs before the the summer. Hope to hear from you!!
