Anybody under 5 ft trying to lose weight? I started last year at 181. Lost 30 lbs in 6 months. Looking for support and any new meal ideas that are quick.

    I’m close, 5’ 2”, 164 pounds, also want to lose 30 pounds. I’m almost 41 lbs so I feel like that’s making things harder. But we can do this!!! I’ll send you both a friend request!

    I'm 4'11" and at 150 currently. I hope to lose about 25 lbs and would be happy there. I got down to 125 about a year and a half ago but gained it all back so I just started back.

    Im 5ft. Current 143... hoping to get back to 115. I had a really bad episode with my depression and let it go to far before I got treatment. Now that I am balanced again I am hoping to recover my body.

    I'm 5ft. I started at 152 lbs and lost 25 lbs and looking to lose 12 lbs till the end of May for my birthday. I lost it by starting cooking at home and turning food I love to healthier reasonable versions and also walking a lot. I dropped wheat but I would still eat carbs in different forms like starchy veggies from time to time, that made me stay in the diet longer even if it means losing slowly. I would eat beef or chicken curry stews with veggies, mixed veggies soup with broth, lettuce-wrapped beef burger, salad with grilled halloumi, steamed veggies with low fat feta cheese and Italian herbs. My food would mainly be protein and veggies but I would also use olive oil to cook or season my salad. I also eat healthy protein bars in exchange of snacks (half bar twice a day) with tea or coffee. I also drink lots of coffee and drink water with lemon, keeps me full. When I go out I make healthy choices. I would still allow myself to eat non-healthy food from time to time but that was 15% of the whole time.

    Also walking really helped me. I know ppl would argue that exercising is better and I understand the science behind it but from a personal experience, walking made me lose weight faster and made me more motivated and it is way more fun and you don't feel that "ugh! I have to go to the gym". I even did some treks occasionally and I'm hoping to do more this year. I'm planning to start exercising to increase my stamina once I reach my weight goal.
