in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Hi everyone,

I've been on MFP for a couple years and lost 15 or so lbs using this site (which took a while as I am only 5'1"). I am active on here, especially in the fall and winter, and I love having interactive friends! I'm currently maintaining between ~102 and 105 lbs, love outdoor exercise/sports, and am friendly and encouraging. I'm hoping to find some friends here who are of relatively similar height since losing and maintaining weight at a petite height has some challenges that I understand!

Just send a message with any friend requests, as I tend to delete blank FRs on suspicion of spam. :)

Thank you!!

    I was just about to invite you to the petite maintenance group, but I saw you already joined. Welcome! There are loads of us on there.

    Thanks segacs! I wrote a joining request, but I'm not sure if I am actually part of the group yet? I will be glad to be a part of it though!

    Yep, it should be working now. I have it as approval-only to prevent the bots. (And the tall folks... hehe.)

    I am not a bot and at 4'11" not a tall person but for some reason I was put off your site.

    Hey everyone-- if you're finding this thread and friend-requesting me, please remember to send me a message with your friend request letting me know where you found me and what we might have in common. I generally delete FRs that arrive without a message.

    @get8fit, it isn't my site-- I'm a member of that group but someone else moderates it. Not sure what's up there. . .

    I don't know why that would've happened, @get8fit . I haven't removed anyone from the group, and I generally approve all application requests that have messages in them -- though sometimes it takes me a day or two to get around to it.

    I wrote a request too. Thanks!

    Done! :)

    And, bear with me, folks. I try to get to the requests as quickly as I can, but I didn't expect this group to become so popular so quickly! I might need to get a couple of co-managers.

    Hi! I've been in maintenance over a year now and even though my maintenance weight range is significantly higher than yours. I could definitely use more friends who can relate

    @segacs if you do end up looking for help with the petites group, I'm happy help out. It's my new favorite MFP spot. :smile:

    Hi @_Sheesh_ ! Check out the petites group listed in the thread above. There are quite a few of us in that group that maintain at a higher weight. Best!

    Awesome, thanks Leslie! I may take you up on it.

    @_Sheesh_ , yep, I just approved you in the group.

    I just filled it out to join. I'm 5 lbs from maintenance, though. I figured it's time to start thinking about it.

    Hey ! I'm just starting maintenance. I'm 5'3. I sent a request for the group and sending you à FR. :)

    Hey everyone! I didn't expect to acquire so many new friends from this post! I hate to say this, but now I think I might be at my limit for the number of people I can interact with in a quality way-- so those of you who come upon this after this post, please, friend each other instead of me right now. Thank you!!

    In case anyone is looking for support but isn't in maintenance yet, I have started a group called "Little Women".

    I don't know how to post a link, but please message me if you want an invite or search for it from the group search.

    :)
