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

Hi! I'm 5'3" 244 lbs and also have PCOS I would love to gain some new friends to share this journey with me. It would be nice to relate with some of you ladies that share the same goals and obstacles. Add me if you'd like

I'm 5'4" and also have about 50 lbs to lose. This is my second time on MFP and I have found that when I religiously track and weigh everything I do shed the weight.

Feel free to add me as well.

Hi! I'm 5'3" and 270lbs. Got a long way to go.

Hi! I am 5'4, also at my heaviest weight (265), and also have PCOS. Always looking for friends and support!

I'm 5'4", 137 pounds, and trying to get down to the mid-120s and then gain muscle when I get there! I'm also vegetarian and dairy-free! Feel free to add me, I have an open diary. Especially if you are vegetarian or have similar goals!

I'm 5'4 and weigh 177 lbs. My goal is to get down to 140-145 lbs. I have been a member on here for a while but just recently been more active. You can also add me as well.

Hey! I'm 5'2.5" also have PCOS and trying to lose around 100 lbs haha. Would love any support out there

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.
