Fellow shorties needed for support and motivation 5'5 and under :)

5ft 3 here! I actually can't seem to figure out how to add friends, so EVERYONE ADD ME! Itd be nice to have some real people in my feed

SW: 202
CW: 187
GW: 150

Im getting super frustrated with how long this is taking; its taken me almost 4 months to lose those 15lbs, which I know is a steady rate... But considering it probably took the same time to gain it, and its come off a lot quicker in the past (yo-yo dieter here) I cant help but feel frustrated. Im trying hard to stay patient! Visiting this community section has been helping me stay focused.

I also kind of feel this is the universe really teaching me something. The weight has come off quickly and easily in the past... but its come back on quickly and easily too, without me even noticing. Doing this whole weight loss thing the right way (maintaining a calorie deficit for a prolonged time) will hopefully mean I wont gain it all back... because it took SO DAMN LONG TO LOSE IT (fast forward a year) and I learned soooooo much about food along the way. I'm pretty confident I know how to maintain long term now.... once I get there anyway

Anyway - rant over. Best of luck fellow shorties!

Hey all, I'm really not sure whether I have commented in the past or not, I have looked but can't see... I have bookmarked this discussion anyways, I'm Sara I'm 5"4 and from the UK, I started this journey after turning 30 in January this year after years and years of eating what I wanted when I wanted and not doing any exercise at all..

SW: 308 lbs (16th January)
CW: 236 lbs (24th July)
GW: between 120 lbs - 140 lbs (Hoping by January 2019)

I have currently lost 73 lbs so far, I have had my ups and my downs and for about 90% of the time I have been highly motivated and felt energetic and basically healthier physically and mentally in years but just these past months I have been suffering, I lost weight too quickly and because of that I've been having problems with my gallbladder, gallstones to be exact, I have been very depressed and frustrated recently due to it all as I have had to reduce my fat quite alot and its been hard having to do that and still keep my calories between 1200 - 1500 especially on a tight budget I have had to do so much googling to find foods affordable and low in fat but decent in calories and protein, I think I am getting the grasp of things and I am slowing feeling better mentally and I am feeling motivated again, Yes its amazing to lose weight but I went overboard I cut out way too many calories and exercised too much, I am still trying to find that healthy balance so please bear that in mind.
Sorry rambling.... haha! that's my story feel free to add me, my diary is open if anyone wants a peek, always looking for tips and advice.
I wish you all the best and I am always looking for motivation, support and I love reading other peoples stories and successes

Well update ladies.. Mother nature decided to turn up and made me gain a whole 6 pounds of water weight... This is going to take me at least 4 days to loose. Sigh, I know it's just the number and not fat weight but it does discourage me a little bit.

Hey, yeah mother nature called me too... I decided not to weigh myself Saturday just passed due to it hehe I feel like I have lost weight and by what I've eaten and burned I should have but I know the scale will tell me differently due to the water retention T.O.M brings so I feel ya there

Shortie here.. 5ft mother of two .. last time i reduced my last 10 lbs with this app.. my daughter is now 1 year old and I m again struggling with last 10 lbs... My weight is 120 lbs .. I don't know y but I m unable to start calorie counting and nothing else is working... Really want to reduce these last 10 lbs...

@Fatimahasnain Hey I from what I have read if you manage to reduce calories by 500 per day or burn 500 calories per day or even both thats 2lb per week should be anyway as there is 3500 calories in 1lb of fat but then again your already at a healthy weight so you could always just try and tone up a little bit? I wish you the best of luck

I'm 5'3.5" tall. I've lost 60 pounds so far with 30-40 to go. It's been really straightforward and fairly simple for me. It's just taken some time and patience. A lot of patience. You can do it!
