    Hello! I am Nikki and I just about count at 5ft 4.... Always believed I was 5ft 5 but at the gym I was measured the other day and I appear to have lost an inch! The best things come in small packages eh?!

    I have really enjoyed the last two rounds of DITR, although I have only lost 6 pounds, I am not putting it on, so that's progress... I guess the closer u get to the goal, the tougher it gets to shift the weight.

    I love having the support network that diamonds provides and it keeps me accountable for diet and exercise.

    It will go through Aug 15th :smile:


    Thanks! I figured it out right before you posted that. It's too early for reading apparently. LOL

    Sorry ladies, I totally should have put that in the introduction as well! Each round of the challenge is now four weeks. (In the past they were 7 weeks, but 4 is a bit more manageable).

    I'm Kristin, and I'm 5'2". I have loved being a diamond, and I like the idea of buddying up with a fellow "petite" :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I have lost a total of 18 lbs, and am just over 1/2 way to my goal. I know it will be more difficult to lose consistently as I get closer to goal, so this challenge is even more important to me!

    I just wanted to give you a shout out for starting the Diamonds challenge. Unfortunately, I can't make the daily commitment to message this month so I won't ask to join...I don't want to slight anyone. Maybe I'll peek in on the thread and be able to join the next round. Great job ladies! :flowerforyou:

    Reason for joining the Diamond Challenge: I have been trying to lose weight by myself and I realized that I am struggling to lose my 22 last pounds alone. I love the idea to have a partner and I will be happy to succeed with people who have the same goal.

    My reason for wanting to join the Little Diamonds is because since I joined MFP I have been more motivated to workout and eat healthy. Joining little Dimonds will give me that extra one on one support that I need to help me meet my weight loss goal.

    Hi there!

    Name: Vicki

    Height 5ft 2

    Reason for Joining: I'm fairly new to MFP, and although I've lost a pound in my first week, I really feel like, if I have a partner dedicated to helping me and supporting me, I can achieve so much more. I enjoy writing, love making new friends, especially all over the world, and feel that by joining I could combine these two things. I also feel that being part of a team would make me think more about my choices and also make me come online and participate every day, even if it has to be in the evening or something. I also have a few events coming up and need that extra push so that I look and feel good, and therefore confident, at them.

    I'm counting 24 participants right now which is totally awesome...hopefully we can get 6 more to make it 30!

    Can't wait to find out who is on my team and what Diamond color we will get!!!

    :happy:

    I am joining because I feel like I need all the support I can get! I am just starting my "serious" weight loss adventure and I know it is going to be a challenge, but I am so excited about getting healthy! I feel like this will be fun and motivating! LET’S DO THIS!!!

    Height: 4'11" (actually, probably more like 4'10.5" but it's ok to round up, right?)
    Reason for joining: It'll be nice to have the support of people who know the struggles of losing weight being a short person. Plus, I think being accountable to someone besides myself will help keep me on track.

    5' 4"

    Reason for joining: I have no local workout buddies (tried w/my in-laws, but they have different schedules). I'm motivated to loose weight and would love someone that is in the same boat as me. I do need to warn that I am unable to get online on the weekends, but do to my desk job I am able to log on frequently through the week. So if I have a sporadic buddy, that would be great! :flowerforyou: I've sent my form! :blushing:

    ETA: To clarify I mean log on frequently *each* week-day!

    Reason for joining the Diamond Challenge: I could really use a partner and a group to help motivate me to lose weight, because I've been on a plateau for two months now! I also want to be part of a group with the same goals and mindset :]

    Hi Guys!!!!

    My name is Cassie and I am 5'3. I have lost 39 pounds so far, and I have 11 pounds to get down to my goal. I recently moved over to a Low-Carb, Paleo diet to break through this super-slow weight loss to lose those final pounds FINALLY. So far, so good. I exercise daily and take break days as needed. Usually I exercise a hour a day. 4 Days of Zumba, 3 days of running, and P90X when I can get the time to do it. I just keep moving to keep my body guessing.

    Hope this works!!!! -Cassie

    Hi everyone, I am Logan and I'm 5'3". I am doing round 3 of the diamond challenge (go yellow DITRs!)

    I honestly have loved all of the encouragement and competition. I can't imagine not being part of this challenge!

    Good luck to everyone!

    Reason for wishing to join: I have been a member of MFP for about a month now. I am dedicated and motivated, but I have been looking for something to give me just a tad bit more encouragement and support. I think the Diamond Challenge, specifically the Little Diamonds, would give me just that. One of my MFP friends who I've become quite close to, is a member of the Diamond Challenge, and through her posts, I have seen how much this challenge has aided her success. I am a teacher, about to return to school in just over a month, and I would like something to give me the extra push I need to look and feel fantastic come August. If possible, I would really like to be partnered with Logan (username peanut613). We have become good friends through MFP and I think as Diamond partners, we would be even more dynamite!

    Reason for joining... I would love to have the support of some other "shorties" out there. It seems that its just as easy for us to pack on a few pounds, but it makes so much of a difference on us vs the taller gals who have room to "spread it out". LOL I also would love to have a partner to hold me accountable!!!

    Not at all! Actually, you can all be in the Diamond Challenge. The 1st 30 will be on the Little Diamonds team and anyone after that will be the first selected for the Diamonds in the Rough Team (some of the DITR members have switched to LD's, so there are openings).

    So, you all can be in the challenge... I just can't say which team until the partnering is done at the end of next week.

    Reason for joining: Like others have said, it would be great to have the support of other shorties. The support and challenges might just be the kick I need to get this last bit of weight off.
