Hello everyone,

Sorry. I thought I had started this on the first.

This group is for those of us shorter in stature. While loosing weight, changing life styles is hard enough we find that we have extra issues and frustrations.

Welcome to all new comers who wish to post here and welcome back to all of those who have posted here before. We are a flexible group and try to post an update at least once a week.

MFP is suggesting that forums move to groups. What do you think? Forum or Group?

    Hi Jeannie,

    Didn't realize your were another tiny-but-mighty. Generally I prefer the forum format but since I'm new to this one will abide by the majority.
    hugs,

    Are short guys invited????

    I have mixed feelings on forum or group. Groups are more targeted, but then you run the chance of narrowing the knowledge pool too much. Now that in and of itself could be a good thing or bad depending on your perscpective. Forums do offer a wider range of interaction, but sometimes it's harder to focus on more specific problems, experiences etc. :tongue:

    Hi all! I'm 5'0", goal is 110, at 129 right now (as of my weigh-in this morning)!

    I don't really care re: forum or group, whatever we need to do. Any other fit-and-fun-sized ladies (and gents!) feel free to add me.

    Hell All!

    I'm 5' even. I started MFP at 176 lbs one year ago. I'm down to 137 lbs. I have 12 lbs. to go to hit my goal weight. Now it's coming off slower... HELP! lol

    Forum or Group doesn't matter to me.

    Anyone can feel free to add me too. :)

    I'm 5'4" and I never thought I was short. :grumble: I guess being taller than my mom and my grandmother gave me extra confidence. I saw somewhere the height range for petite and thought it was a typo. Then I see everyone here talking about it being short. I guess I'll stop the denial.


    Hello my name is Donna and I'm short.

    Hi guys! I'm 5'3". New to the site, so I'm not sure whether groups or forums are better... doesn't really matter to me. (I know, that's a huge help, right? Seems everyone feels the same way.)

    @jam0525 I don't know the difference between a group and a fourm so it doesn't matter to me. For the month of February, I've been and will be doing the fitness circuit (jumping jacks, burpees, high knees, pushups, ect.) Last month was a little rough with both my kids' birthdays and two weeks of visitors. I'm a little afraid to get on the scale, but I know I've gained a few. I'll try and kick it in high gear for the Sunday weigh-in. =)

    I'm 4'11''. I may be mistaken, but i think there are other shorty groups, and that's not to say that another can't be started. I don't have an opinion one way or another as far as group versus forum.

    :flowerforyou: Jeannie, thanks for getting us started for February.:bigsmile:

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I have been posting on this thread for a long time and my fitness has improved a lot during this time. After reading "Younger Next Year for Women" and "Strong Women Stay Young", I have added a strength training routine that is challenging and easy to follow. I have gradually added time to my daily walking of my frisky poodles so now I walk them for two hours each morning.


    :bigsmile: I am happy with leaving this as a thread. I am part of two teams right now......one team has over 100 members and fewer than ten are currently posting......the other has almost 100 members and only about a dozen are posting on a regular basis.....I think a group would be great for a smaller group of people who are already committed to staying connected with each other.

    :bigsmile: It would be great if everyone would post once a week or so and share what their fitness goals and experiences have been

    Happy February!

    :happy: Good news to start off the month - went for a "dunk test" today & happy to report that I'm down to 22.5% body fat. One year ago I was 19 lbs heavier and 30% body fat! Hence the dedication to MFP... it works! :happy:

    5'2-1/2 on a good day, currently checking in at 137 lbs. and trying like heck to work my way down to an even 130 lbs. I fully expect it will take the better part of the year to shave off those last 7 lbs... especially since my regular activities have been tossed overboard.

    I'm very active & love to run, however have been having some big problems with my hip & back (genetic) so the Doc has cast a shadow over my race plans. I'm not banned entirely, just supposed to go real easy... However, I start physical therapy next week, so hopefully it will WORK & I can avoid back surgery later in the year :ohwell: and then eventually work back up to my running schedule.
