4"11 ladies (very short and overqeight)

Yay! This is so exciting that there is FINALLY a 4'11 group. I definitely thought I was alone until I found this post! I was originally 160lbs, but currently I am 150lbs. My ultimate goal is 130! The first 10 was so easy, but now I am finding that these next 20 are going to be a pain in the *kitten*!

I understand what you ladies mean about the 5lbs looks like 20lbs thing. Its dreadful and it sucks, especially when you have basset hound legs like myself! Keep your head up ladies!

Lol!! Me too!! I was about 160 when I started and now I am stuck at 148!!! It pisses me off so bad, but I am a shortie too at 5'1" and 3/4 (yes I do need those 3/4)!! It's nice to see that you are also with a tall man to balance out your shortness, my man is 6'1", yep thats a full foot taller sorry just thought it was nice that I am not the only one who still can't kiss her man without him bending down even with 5 inch heels!!

I am right here with you all too. I am down for challenges if anyone wants to start some.

Fellow shorties,

How about 3 lbs a month as a goal? The closer you are to your goal the slower it comes off.I lift 3 times a week , it does make a difference. The scale doesn't show change quickly but clothes are not so tight anymore. Feel free to friend me, I am 44 and the weight comes off slower as you get older.:mad: I keep at it since I have 4 kids and need to be healthy.

I started out at 215 and I'm down to 189 now Woot!
But at first I was loosing lots of fat in my midsection (which is where I hold it all :grumble: ) and then now I'm noticing that my waist measurements are slowly creeping back up...! Is that weird? I feel like I haven't lost any inches since I weighed 195 :sad:
Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe it's "muscle build up". I've read so much on the topic and it's all so confusing now.

I'm almost 5 foot and currently have a 30 pound mission ! 115 is my goal. 110 is my ultimate goal.
OH, and I totally know what you mean. It really asucks because being so short, our weight is more compacted and is so abviously shows. I look like I weigh more than certain other girls who are taller than me with the same weight. Also, my boobs arent big at all so my gut is the main attraction . lol. ugggh. What I wudnt give to be just a little taller..and maybe some bigger boobs. lol. but, I do like being short. Just have to get down to a right size. Good luck to you!

hey! 5'2 here. started at 160, highest weight was 190 (right before i had my daughter). my goal weight is 120. not doing so hot lately.

Hi, well i am shocked so many of us are short i have in the last ten yrs gradually gained more and more i have only done one diet but i did it 4 times it works but impossible to stay with forever (adkins) and everytime i go off it i gain little more than before so i wanted to stop this and change my story to where i dont look back and say i have been doing this for yrs i want to do it and do it right which is eat right and excersize and when you excersize begin to love the sweating and the breathing hard and wanting to cry cause like my instructor on my dvd says if you quit when your body wants to then your body HAS NO REASON TO CHANGE and i realized and knew it was only going to get worse and i was tired of being tired i checked my heart rate and pulse and things and i was prehypertention (sp not sure) not after eating right and hard excersize a month and a half later i am well under in the normal range healthy range i could not believe it so i will never go back cause it was scary seeing how fast i was going down hill i mean i was feeling like i was old and i thought this has to change so i have and i feel soo much better and i am excited about how i am going to feel and my cloths are starting to fit again so i am glad to read your stories lets do this!!!!
