    funny about the stomach weight thing, i thought it was just that i sat at a desk all day but seems to be a theme with us shorter ladies! maybe there's just less surface area for fat to go to? LOL

    I haven't tried the 30 day shred, but would like to. I am 5ft 3. I currently weight 158. I started my weight loss about 9 wks ago. When I started I weigh 180 lbs. When I started I was doing the home dvd workout videos by Leslie Sansone. One is called Walk Away the Pounds. I have about three of her dvds, I really like them. I have since joined a gym and do a little more physical workouts, but I think since I started out by walking and really watching what I ate that has helped me in being able to be more physical. I weight everything I eat and count ALL my calories. I especially enjoy MyFitnessPal. I also have it on my phone, its very convenient.
    I also will be sending a friend request.
    If there is anything I can do to help please don't hesitate to ask!

    THAT is very inspirational! You will be a great motivator for me :)

    there is less surface area for sure. But I do wish I didn't have a desk job! I started working full time three years back, and since then, I've been piling on the pounds every single day.

    5'0 here and have been between 142.4- 145 for three weeks now :explode:
    I started my fitnesspall while pregnant and was at 170 the day i had my fourth baby. My tummy is slowly starting to peek out from under the flab! Ive been seriously tracking my calories & work outs for about 7 weeks now. Im going through p90x, zumba and working out at the gym & on a 1200 ( adjusted that today actually ) intake.


    I WOULD LOVE more buddies in the same boat

    Hi all

    I'm a shortie too, 5'3" and 168lbs. I've used this website before and was succesful but then went away to the states and various other things and have put weight back on :(

    This time around i'm determined to get more into the exercise part as don't particularly struggle with the food side just am very lazy.

    Good luck everyone

    hey

    I'm a short girl too, i'm 5"0 and i used to weigh 160. although i didn't buy the whole 30 day shred kit, i used it because it was on comcast on demand and i was actually able to lose 25lbs. Everything's gone but the one dreaded part i hate... yep my tummy, but don't get discouraged because comcast didn't provide all her workout videos, and i believe if you stay consistent, you'll b even more successful. :)
