Im 5'2 just hit my goal weight but us short ppl have to stick together.... it is challenging being short; 10lbs on us looks like 25lbs...lol

Hi.. I'm 5'2, so definitely fun sized...lol! What do we post here? Just daily or weekly updates?

Hi! I'm 5'1" and have a ways to go to reach my goal weight. Sometimes when I see other women's weights and pics I get aggravated. At 150-160 they look great! I have to remind myself that they may be taller and can carry more weight than I can.
Hope to lose about 12 more pounds before New Years. This could be tough as it seems that the holiday season is the eating season. Good luck to all of you!

Fun sized I like that!! Thats what I'm going with. Heres to all the fun sized Ladies out there :drinker: :drinker:

Hello! I'm 5'2" -ish, and would love to be a part of this!

Welcome newcomers!

Starting my 30 Day Shred tonight - hoping that this will help me get rid of that persistent "fat" feeling that has been holding onto me these past few weeks. The past two weeks I gained a little over 1 lb - not the end of the world, but discouraging nonetheless. At least I ran an awesome race in the process & got to enjoy some really good food during my pre-race and post-race fueling

According to an online running calculator, I can reach my goal Half Marathon race time < 2 hrs once I'm down to 128-130 lb range (assuming current fitness level). Awesome to learn this - makes me want to lower my goal weight just a bit. But, I think I need to wait to see how I'm doing in another 10 lbs before I make that decision... last thing I want to do is get to an unsustainable weight (which is usually 120s for me).

Really hoping to break into the 130s this month! 30DS, please help me get there!

I am 5'3''. October has been a great month for me. I went from 187 to 174! I have a long way to go to get to my goal of 125.
We can do this ladies!

I should join this group. I am really discouraged today and that is why I have wondered into this folder. Long story short, I just did a 6 wk wt loss challenge with my exercise class and I was pretty sure I was going to win. Well, the announced the results this morning and I lost to another women by 0.01 of a lb! Can you believe it? UGH. I lost 8 lbs in 6 wks, which is a MAJOR feat in itself for me. I didn't even care about the prize (got the entire pot, everyone put in $10, so it was well over $100, plus a t-shirt), I just wanted to win, *something.* Second place didn't get any prizes and the story of my life is that if I come close to winning, I never get anything higher than 2nd place. I hate this feeling right now. I told my husband I would rather have lost by an entire lb, than by only .01 of a lb, it's such an insult from the universe. I feel like I really needed to win this challenge as a boost to my self esteem. The other women in my exercise class are all much more athletically in shape than I am, most of them place for their age group when they run 5Ks. I finish my 5ks, 5-7 min later than they do and I am also the oldest one in the group and just never been athletic to begin with. Anyway, last time I weighed in on Friday, I was 160 lbs, I'm 5"4 and 38 yrs old, a mom of 3 boys, who has been killing myself exercising 5-6 a wk to try to lose wt and keeping a food diary. I really think that a group like this will help, since you are right. If you are short and overweight, it looks worse than someone who is only a few inches taller. I've had this trouble my entire life. In high school, I weighed 115 lbs and practically starved myself to get to that weight, but the smallest size I could wear was a size 8 and all of my friends thought I weighed over 130 lbs, so I always thought I was fat, even when I was, "skinny." Now I really am fat and I realize how silly I was to get upset over a pants size. I also have really large calves, which on my body frame, simply makes me look more bulky. My calves are so large, I have a really, really hard time finding boots and sometimes even jeans that fit over my calves, and the thing is that they are ALL muscle, my husband is jealous of my calves and the only ppl who like them are all athletes. However, I wish I didn't have my athletic calves, they make me look fat.

Hi all! I'm 5'2" and starting November at 130.6... I've already lost about 50 pounds, which I'm thrilled with, but really wanting to see a magic number of 127 sometime soon! That's my current "goal" weight and I think I'll try to stay about there. I figure with my medium build I should be between 125-129, so that magic 127 is right in the middle. I'm a little nervous to finally get to maintenence and to be honest I think that's why I'm not there yet. I've been splurging a little too much on the goodies and candy which for almost a year I wasn't doing. Now that I'm close I "cheat" more often. Still working out four days a week, but without a current race to train for I'm not nearly as intense as I was before my half marathon. So I'm getting my *kitten* back in gear as of today... I need to see that magic number before an exciting 4 day trip to Vegas coming up this month!!!!! I know that weekend will NOT be for losing... although I'm packing my workout gear! It's a trip I've been looking forward to for a LONG time!!!!!

I'm 4 ft. 11 3/4, I have been this TALL(no pun intended) since I was 11 yrs. old. Yes, when I gain weight it shows immediately but when I lose it takes forever to see. I lost 5 lbs. this month and I am elated!!!!. So YES I could use support from anybody that is in the same boat.
