in Motivation and Support
Hey guys, so I'm a returning mfp user and was looking for some friends to work with and support one another. I'm happy to friend anyone, but I especially would like to friend fellow short people for inspiration on how to get everything you want in your diet without going over the 1200 calorie mark haha :)

    I'm 4"11'. SW: 224 CW:187 GW:145 I eat back some of my exercise calories so I can eat more than 1200 a day. I wear a fitbit that is linked to mfp. I usually eat between 1300-1600 calories a day. So far, no problem with losing.

    I'm 4'9" and on 1200 calories it takes me 2 weeks to lose 1 lb. but I don't feel hungry. I get easily discouraged and simply eat the wrong foods. Being short doesn't afford the luxury of weight distribution.

    Btw, HI everyone! Glad I found this community.

    Hi! I'm looking for more friends on here for support 5'2'' 180 lbs. I really struggle with eating so few calories. I used to have a Fitbit but it just broke a few days ago and it's hard to know exactly how many extra calories I have from activity without it. I feel like I'm hungry all the time. I hear it gets easier with time but right now it's very difficult.

    I had joined herbal weight loss a couple years ago and lost 20 lbs but by the time they nickel and dime you to death, it costs about $400.00/month. I know what foods to eat and what portions and how many portions but I have very little willpower when it comes to sugars or saltys. One of the other reasons for successful weight loss is journaling your food as well as accountability to someone else. Please let me know if you'd be interesting in encouraging each other.
