    It's harder in some ways, because we have to limit our calorie intake way more than taller people. We don't require as much calories on a daily basis as someone who is 6" taller than us. However, we can lose 5 lbs and people will notice a difference, versus someone who is taller and will take them about 10 lbs for people to notice a difference.

    Another short girl here. 5'1, 25 years old. Not sure what my weight was at my heaviest, I stopped stepping on the scale because I was afraid of the number, probably would have been around 170lbs or more :open_mouth:
    Since restarting my mfp journey (again!)

    Always glad to have new friends, feel free to add me

    Im looking for motivation/friends from SHORTIES that know the struggle of trying to lose weight. When you're short being heavy is so hard. Im going on week three everday at gym cardio and weights and lost about 6.5 lbs... Goal is 70!

    Good luck! You CAN do this, though it may be the hardest thing you've ever done - it is for me. Time and monitoring and forgiving yourself for slips and very importantly, understanding WHY you became overweight, and what can you do to redress that? For me it was because of unhappiness that's now over, and also because I have too many hunger genes. I would like to eat 2200 per day, I know I can't. I can't listen to my body on that one.

    I lost 40 lb and would like another 20 off - friend me if you like. 5 foot and half an inch! And 41 yrs old.
