fit-and-fun-sized-those-under-5-4-for-December

Welcome to all the newbies and hello all my fellow old timers. I am a shortie as well. I'm a 32 year old mother of 2 busy busy teens. My current weight is 111. I had met my goal of 100lbs back in April but due to hernia repair surgery in August I wasnt able to workout for a couple of months and then plain and simple I got lazy! So for the new year I am determined to get back to 100lbs with great workouts and running. I am hoping to run the 1/2 marathon again this year altough I'm sure my time will be horrible since I still haven't started training...:frown: I look forward to getting to know everyone and feel free to friend me.

Shorty here! 5'3 and 159 lbs. My heaviest I've been is 172-174 and the lightest I've been (that I can remember) is 152-153. My goal is to get at least to 130, if not a little less. Being this short, every little pound shows!

Hi!! Hope it's not to late to join in!! I'm 4' 9 1/2" cw: 132 gw 118 or at least 120, depending on how I look. I've been stuck at 130 for quite a while now. It can get pretty discouraging when those numbers don't budge...grrrrr.....:)

today I ordered a heart rate monitor. I got a lot of help from various threads on MFP and some research on the internet. I bought a Polar FT7 in red (I love bright colors). I found it on sale at Amazon with free shipping. I had a coupon for Amazon that had been waiting for a long time to be used so the bottom line was very friendly. What I realized is that I have no idea what my heart rate is except for the last time I went to the doctor when the nurse checked my pulse and I wrote the number down. When I walk the dogs I think my heart rate is elevated but since I’m not talking to anyone I can’t tell and I’m too encumbered to check my pulse myself. I’ll let you know how I like it.

:flowerforyou: I heard a woman on the radio yesterday say that she was still so full from eating Christmas Day that all she brought for lunch was a salad. That is a phenomenon that makes no sense to me. If I ate too much yesterday I’d be wanting more of the same today, rather than less. Clearly, that’s what makes me bodily and different from my fellows, therefore in need of everything I’ve learned on MFP.

:drinker: The holiday eating is behind me until Friday when I go to the 15th birthday party for my friend’s dog. LOL I did an Isagenix cleanse yesterday to help me get back on track. The dogs have been walked for two hours, yoga and 100 squats are done, and I may do a workout video before I go to bed.

:drinker: I hope everyone is getting back on track……someone said that it’s not what you eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas that will get you, it’s what you eat from Christmas to Thanksgiving. So let’s all start our healthy eating and exercise and be at our goals by the holidays in 2012.
