Welcome to everyone, it's nice to see so many new faces

We do have a challenge running at the moment and we are logging here
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlcJqG9B3Q27dFRGRTRYMHNoQ3U2R2FRbnpoeDItcHc&hl=en_US#gid=2

If you wish to participate (not compulsory) add your name indicating at the end you are new so when it rolls over you'll be added. It's the second tab at the bottom we are working on at the moment. The current challenge is coming to an end - but hopefully we will have a new one running soon, so keep checking. And to anyone else who just doesn't fancy the challenges, that's all good, just sit back and chat and try to spur the rest of us on!!!!
Haha :happy:

Hi fellow MFP members. I'm Catharine. I'm 5'2", 54 years old from Huntsville, Ontario Canada. Fifteen years ago (when I was much younger and in better shape) I lost 71 pounds. I journaled everything I ate every single day. We didn't have a program like MFP back then so I did it all manually. It was time consuming but I did it! Then I met my (now) husband - - priorities and eating habits changed! And I have gained all the weight back over these years. So, it's time to get back at it. I workout in our home gym at least 3 times/week (4 if I can squeeze in the time since I also work full-time). My goal is to lose 60 pounds. I am in week 5 now and have lost 9 pounds to date. I'm happy to be part of this group!!!

Hi everyone!
I'm Prerana. I live in India. I'm 5'2" and am trying to get rid of my pregnancy weight(and TTC weight gain). I can see 0.5-1 lb losses every week since I got on here 7 weeks ago. I'm hoping that I'll get to pre-preggo wt by my son's B'day in dec. From there I have another 14-17lbs to go to hit my pre TTC weight(108-110 lbs). This is my second child and I'm finding weight loss really hard this time around.

Hi!! I'm Monica....I'm 5'3".....144 lbs...goal weight is 133...but thinking of lowering it!! Nice to meet all you fellow shorties!! :happy:

Hey I'm Tasha!
This group was a great idea!! I'm just a little over 5 feet. I started out at like 139 and I'm currently 127. I would like to get down to 110-115 before my wedding next spring AND MAINTAIN that weight. Glad to be apart of the group!

... We all know our current weights would be just fine if we were taller. ..

lol that's what I always say. I have some taller friends who always say "Oh you don't need to lose weight!" but I always say that even though I'm not really heavy, I'm still heavy for MY height. Even being 3 inches taller would put me at a good weight but those 3 inches make a big difference.

Hello there im new at this group. I just found out about it. Im SHORT 4 feet 8 and im 33 years old. I've always been the chubby girl. Everyone thinks im prego. I did loose weight but not much I need to firm that belly. Nice to meet you all. feel free to add me .

I'm Hannah, I am 5' 1" and getting shorter (I have scoliosis and have shrunk 2" already in my life) I started this diet at 189lbs and my goal is 123lbs. I weight 167lbs now but weighted 159lbsn at once point this late summer but I slid back a little because I lost my free time when school started and I lost my gym membership due to some income loss. I really hate being short sometimes it so hard because a lot of my friends have always weighted more then me but carried it better because of their weight and I don't feel as much progress when I loose weight....I like being short but still...

So excited that I found this group. I'm between 5' and 5'1" depending on the time of day and my posture. I'm looking to cut around 10% of my body fat, which should make my goal about 120-125 lbs.

I'll offer what support and encouragement I can to anyone that needs it. Have a beautiful day, folks.

Hi...I just joined my first group, have been quiet on the forums so far but love having a shorties group.

I'm 5'1 and weigh in at 157...yikes! I did start out at 165 and would love to reach 130 or so. Look forward to being with a group that knows how it is to be short.

Hi everyone!!! :flowerforyou:

I'm Melissa and I'm a shortie; 5'2" almost.

So happy to be around other shorties.

Hi...I'm 5'2" and 191.6 right now, down from 204.4 on Thanksgiving. I was 149 a couple of years ago and then nursing school and bad eating happened. I'm so glad that there is a group dedicated completely to shorties like me. I'm doing Jillian Michaels DVDs...pretty much in love with her workouts. It'll be great to have support from other people in the same situation as me though.

Hi I'm Lisa. I'm 5'3" tall. I currently weigh 166.8 and want to lose 30-40 lbs. So glad I found other shorties to hang with and get support from. I joined a Biggest Loser competition. Our first weigh in is on Monday so I'm starting my journey then. For now, I'm just trying to figure this posting thing out! Good luck everyone=):happy:

Hi, i'm also in another group for fun-sized people (Shorties! 5ft) on here. I wonder if they could be merged somehow. Also, is this considered the "introduce yourself" thread?

hi i am 4'11 and so glad i found a group that can relate! i want to drop 20lbs. i am over weight for my size but i like to look curvey but after getting married i became a blob and not a curve lol. glad i found this group!
