Support For Shorter Ladies? 5' to 5'4?

I'm 5'2", lost 47lbs in the past 6 months, and I have another 11 necessary pounds to lose (with a further 15 vanity pounds probably). Feel free to add me - feeling like I need the motivation and accountability! Reaching the point where too often I find myself saying "this journey is about sustainability, not denying yourself everything" before devouring more than the sustainable amount of biscuits/ chocolate/ pizza. Needless to say, I feel like I've hit a bit of a plateau!

Hiya! I'm 5ft 1" (add an extra half inch on a good day LOL) and I've lost about 25 pounds eating low-carb (optimal protein, med to highish fat). I started at around 154 pounds, now weigh about 123 pounds and my goal is somewhere in the region of 119 pounds, so potentially 7 pounds more to go.

I say "potentially" because my main goal is body recomposition ie. Reducing body fat but increasing muscle mass, which obviously weighs heavier than fat, so I'm judging progress at this point mainly by NSVs ie. Mirror & Tape Measurements rather than overall weight. I've always aimed for a lean, muscular look and implement heavy weight-lifting (when I'm well enough - I have Fibromyalgia & M.E. so my workouts have been suffering since I got sick last year).

Despite not being able to exercise a tenth as much as I'd like, the Ketogenic WOE is so much more effective for me than when I've tried just low-calorie higher carb plans. (I aim for protein macro @ ~0.8g per pound of total body weight - or ~1g protein per pound of total body weight when I'm well enough to lift - which is higher than some Keto guidelines, but I find my body works best with optimal protein. When I tried the lower protein and very high fat macros I still lost scale-weight successfully but my physique looked less muscular, defined & firm b/c I also lost lean muscle mass).

I aim for around 1,250 calories a day average - my symptoms cause me to lose my appetite some days so I struggle to get near 1,000 cals occasionally (NOT recommended!) but I do try to balance it out by the end of the week. When I'm feeling well & working out regularly I up my cals to around 1,350 - 1,400.
If I get ridiculously hungry I allow myself maintenance cals for 1-2 days before dropping back to a calorie deficit. Ive been 'slimming' for almost a year now and I find the odd 'diet-break' after a significant period of fat loss or when I stall, by eating at maintenance for a 2-4 week period, can help reset the metabolism and help you to resume losing fat when you drop back down to your deficit calories.

Sorry for rambling! HTH! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. You're making the right steps to achieving your weight loss. You can do this! Think how amazing you'll feel as you see that scale moving down! Always here to help. X

Greetings and salutations fellow shorties! I'm 5'-2", and have lost 20 lbs so far (woot!), working to lose my last 20 lbs of baby weight, maybe a little more depending on how I look/feel when I hit my goal.

Add Me. 5'1 I was 198lbs. I am currently 180lbs. currently looking for friends to motivate and journey with.

I'm 5'4" and need to loose 80 lbs!!!! Logging everything no matter what is key! Educates yourself. P.s I've lost 100lbs once! So I know I can do this, but finding it hard this time.

I am 5'2 151 . Ive lost 32 pounds already, but I'd like to loose 20 more, Please add me to your group.

5'4", 149, lost 38#, want to lose 10 more. Feel free to add me if you like.

I'm 5'. I suffer from Endometriosis too. I trying to lose 25 pounds. I've never wore a bikini before and that is my life goal. To just be healthy and have the body I have always wanted.

I had a miscarriage back in 2013. Since then I hadn't had any Endo pain because of my D&C procedure. But now almost 3 years later. I'm getting those first subtle endometriosis twinges near my cycle and during intercourse with DH. I am hoping that with my food and exercise changes I can elevate any pain before it rears its full ugly head at me again.

You can add me and we can help each other through this. I posted in the general thread just today cause I'm at a lull in my journey. I'm 6 weeks in and not losing my motivation.

I'm 5'4", the shortest person in my family of course, and I weigh 303 pounds. I have pcos so I have trouble loosing weight. I have heart problems so I now have to loose the weight. My entire family on both sides has a history of being over weight so that's not in my favor either. My goal isn't huge and at the same time is entirely insurmountable. I want to weigh 180. I weighed 180 when I was in 8th grade and it just kept climbing. So here I am covering my fathers fresh baked chocolate chip cookies with a hand towel in the hope that if I don't see them I won't break down and eat half a dozen. Here is my support to others, my plea for prayer, and my best wishes.

I'm 5'4" and need to loose at Least 100lbs. Seems so far away so my near term goal is to lose 20lbs.
