    I'm 5'0" (and a tiny bit), 190, ultimate goal of 115 or so. Anyone of any height can add me, but if anyone happens to actually be somewhat close to the five foot range, we can give each other extra-short-person support. ;)
  • add me if you like guys !! i need more short people like me D: lol

    I have Intracranial Hypertension so my body produces too much fluid and puts pressure on my brain! We found out when I almost lost vision in one eye! The chronic headaches, pressure and muscle pain made it really hard to work out and made me super depressed!

    The Meds make me fatigued and when I work out hard I get a nasty migraine that lasts for a few days (the last one was 12 days!!) I am working really hard to do it with diet, walking and aquafit which is really low impact but gives me good cardio and rarely affects my head!

    It is so inpirational that you are going through so much and still so determin to loose the weight and not let your condition hold you back! Much love!!

    Hi Taralou,

    I just joined tthis evening. I am 5'4", and my weight after tonight's dinner is 215. My goal is 140, I am in my late 50's but people tell me I look like I am in my late 30's. They tell me I don't look as if I weigh as much as I do, which in my warped mind lets me think I can go to town when I have a bad day and just shovel in anything that isn't tied down! Ugh, you'd think I would have learned by now since this is not my first rodeo. But, I am giving it another try and hope the motivation and support from people on the boards will help since I am doing this alone.
    Have a wonder ful weekend.

    I am 5'3 and started at 283 lbs. You CAN do this and is the only way to be held accountable with what goes in your mouth.

    I'm 5'3" and hoping (if the winds are blowing the right direction) to be 240 at my weigh-in tomorrow. I started at 252 3-1/2 weeks ago. I also have PCOS. I'd love to have a few more friends who are in the same boat I'm in, headed for the same destination - healthy!

    maybe soooo, but that is on the different type of race etc.
    but growing up. I am surrounded by a lot of tall people... I hardly see anyone shorter than me.
