  • I'm 4ft 11" and currently 166lbs (lost 34lbs so far) but because of my height don't carry any extra weight too well.

    I always say I wouldn't need to lose weight if I was 5ft 10" as it would all appear more balanced :laugh:

    If anyone wants to add me as a friend feel free.

    I am the same height and I weigh 165 :) I have lost 13lbs so far..and I don't carry extra weight either :frown: I always say I would be perfect if I was taller :bigsmile:
  • My son once said I am vertically challenged and horizontally blessed, I guess he is right. Anyway. I am starting over today and I am 5'1".

    hi all Im 5'3" on a good month! lol Im 45 and weighed in at 234 in december. I am now 213 and would like to get to 140 pounds, i know its still over where i should be but any amount of loss is better than none. I have MS and a chronic low back pain that radiates through my left leg and to my feet. I have Neuropathy in both legs and feet. I force myself to work out everyday. I know I will be in a wheelchair again someday and I dont want to stop moving until my body stops. I dont want my family and caretakers to have to help me out if im overweight. You all can add me Im a great source of assistance mentally.

  • hi Ya, I am also 5 ft TALL :laugh: Just started this site last Thursday and have lost 2lb already. I was chuffed. I was starting to get 5ft wide as well so thought it was time to loose some weight. It wasnt until i started counting the calories that i realized how much i was putting in my mouth. That was also after i had just eaten 2 bar of twix. 250 cal, wont be doing that again !!
