I just wanted to bounce ideas or motivation off of someone who is near the same height as me and has every pound show due to it.
Thanks!

    I am 5'1" and my weight is portioned, so I am large everwhere! Hopeful that I will loose it the same way too!

    My wife is 5'. Like you said, everything shows. The tough thing is that even though small weight loss shows, the smaller numbers make her feel like she didn't accomplish very much. But 5 lbs. of loss made a massive difference in her appearence.

    I'm right at 5'3"! I started my journey a year ago at 185 and believe you me...every pound showed! We have it tough with being shorties but I love being short! I love having small shoes and I love having small pant sizes now that I've lost the weight! My sister is 4'9" and I know she loves being the awesome spit fire that she is! :o) We just have to be extra careful of those calories we put in our mouths, which kind of sucks. But I would rather be healthy then feel miserable! :o)

    i'm 5'2" and the docs say a healthy weight is 120, well my boobs alone weigh 10 pounds and 120 would look anorexic on me. and yes i'm 150 and look like i'm obese. sucks to be short!!

    5 foot exactly!!

    Just like we show every pound we carry, we also show every pound we lose! There is a bright side! Our results show faster!!

    I'm 5'0. My largest was at 175 (Right after I gave birth to my son). Every single pound was noticable. Even just gaining a couple pounds now obvious. I just exercise hard everyday and try to stay in my calories.

    I just found/started with MFP this week and so far I am loving it.

    My daily calories is set at 1200 and I am trying to work out 4 times a week for 30 min each (cardio) and I am adding in some strength training. I am finding it easy with the food - tracking on MFP is very easy. I just wish I could burn more calories and get rid of this weight!

    Just a thought: I just started zumba fitness (the WII version) and it burns lots of calories. I use a HR monitor and I can easily burn 400+ calories in 30minutes

    Another tip you will get more calories than the 1200 with your workout I suggest you eat some if not all so your body doesnt go into starvation mode.

    I am going to start the wii zumba tonight, my brother got it for me for Christmas. I am excited to try it. I am hoping that I get a couple hundred calories out of it!
    I am eating every calorie they suggest after I workout...thanks for the help!
