in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, it seems that there a lot of people with a large weight to lose on this website, and I support that. However, I was wondering if there are some "already" quite slim people (I'm 5'3 and 51 kg (112.4 lbs) but my frame is extremely small, and my lowest weight ever was 45 kg and I looked fine ie. no bones sticking out. I'm looking to go down to around 47-48 kg (105 lb) and then tone up so there aren't random jiggly bits. I'm also trying to improve my diet as I tend to overeat carbohydrates and dairy products, which has made me sick a lot (bloating, constipation). I live in Perth, Australia :D hope to meet some motivative and nice friends here~

Anyone in the same situation?

    Hey - exactly the same situation. I am also 5'3", but 56kg at the moment (still reasonably slim!) I really want to tone up, improve my fitness and overall health. Hopefully weight loss will be part of that. Good luck!

    Yes! Me too, my fitness is extremely horrid, I can't walk for more than a kilometre before my legs become jelly-like. Hoping to tone up and get rid of this "skinny-fat look"! Good luck to you too :)

    there are a lot of people in the same boat....I'm only a few pounds from ideal and about 15 from ultimate goal but have recently started focusing on toning up and weight training.

    Not in the same boat here, but feel free to add a fellow aussie.

    Your best bet is strength training. Weights/body weight stuff. Go heavy if you want to get nice and toned and have no fear of bulking up. It's too hard for women to bulk up naturally.

    Good luck!
