in Introduce Yourself
I'm 4'11" and over 200 pounds, and I'd like to know if anyone else is in the same boat? I'd like to friend some people with about the same amount of weight to lose and same height so I could see what they're doing and their progress. :]

    No, I am 6 foot on the nose but my wife is 5' even. On the upside I don't have far to fall.

    Hi I'm 5'2" and weigh now at 182 was 186 I think I remember seeing 190 one day and freaked out. I've never been this size before. I'm turning 30 and getting married in June and don't want to start my new era this big. Add me as a friend I need all the support I can get!

    I know how you feel because I am like 5ft maybe 5'1 and weight is more noticeable on short people. Especially if you are curvy. My advice is not to give up. You can't go back because it is very unhealthy for people our heigh to be that weight You just have to keep on because it takes time to lose weight. But eventually, you will reach your goal.

    Hello,
    I'm Jen. Ok so I'm just a tad bit different but I think we are in the same boat. I am a 21 year old female, 5;0 and just over 200 last time I checked. I am definitely at my heaviest. Trying this and so far it seems to be helping. How about you?

    I'm 4'11.5" and know what everyone means that every pound or half a pound means something completely different for us vertically challenged individuals. Not that I would give up being short for anything. I love it! Though a few more inches would make reaching some things easier... or running distances easier as well! I just need to make so many more steps then my tall counterparts. Lol! Anyways, I'm getting to the end of my journey but would still love some friends to provide mutual support to. Especially some shorter friends who understand calorie count and weight translates differently when you have less space to spread it around!
