    I'm Vicky and I'm 4'11.5" on a very good day ;). Love talking to other "fun size" individuals because taller people don't seem to understand what a pound does to us or that are calorie counts aren't crazy given our heights :P.

    I know 10 pounds is a lot on fun size people, even as little 5 pounds makes a difference almost a whole jean size.

    Hi, I'm 4'10" Glad to know I'm not the only shorty:). I have 2 grown children and 2 grandaughters ages 1 and 3. Need to get serious about getting in better shape. Hard with being short. Taller people don't understand, 2 lb is like 6 on a taller person. Hope the support will help keep me motivated.:happy:

    Do you notice a difference? In the past when I've lost weight nobody's noticed until I lose 20. Soooo frustrating. Though my jeans did feel loose today.

    Wholly mackerel there's a lot of Shorties! Just made this group yesterday and am very please with how many members there are already.

    My name is Scarlet, I am 25 years old and a mother of 2. One of which is only 6 months old. I'm 4'11.5 @ 180lbs. Goal weight is 115

    We can definitely do this ladies!

    Remember: IT TAKES 4 WEEKS FOR YOU TO SEE YOUR BODY CHANGING. IT TAKES 8 WEEKS FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND IT TAKES 12 WEEKS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD.

    KEEP GOING!!!!!

    Hello everyone!
    My name is Brittany and I'm a newbie to the group.
    I'm 5'0 and my HW 151, CW 130.5, GW 120-125. Looking to shed about 5-10 more but more importantly to me, tone up!

    I'm so happy that this group exists! I know that I've found it challenging to see others have multi-pound weekly losses when I may only lose a .5 lb but I surely worked HARD for that darn pound to go away! It's great to have a 'fun sized' support network who understands, so feel free to add me.

    Cheers to each of you on your healthy journeys!

    Another shorty here. I'm Jean and I'm 4'11" . My goal is to loose 35 lbs and reduce BF from 44% to 25%. My daily calorie goal is 1600, which I haven't been doing very well with. it is based upon calcs I did on fitness frog:

    Light exercise: TDEE 15% cut
    1800 1552
    Mod. Exercise: 2058 1749

    I figured the 1600 averages out the two calcs on exercise
    My diary and profile are open if anyone wants to have a peek.

    Haven't been as successful as I had hoped loosing weight, but have lost alot of inches.

    Inches count, sometimes it just shows in inches first then the pounds come later... don't give up!!!
