why?
Why is it that for older short women, the approved BF %s and BMIs climb? I have heard the theory that they want you to have some "padding" in case of catastrophic illness but honestly I don't want to live my life at 30% BF because I might get sick. I am 5.1+ (Drs all say 5.2 round up) and 59 yo. My goal is BF under 20%,…
We need to get this going again!
How about a spring challenge?
What is your daily calorie intake?
I work a few days a week to sit at my desk. Other than that I am quite energetic, always busy. Walking my dog, cycle a few times a week, running errands. At different websites I entered my activities and calculated around 1200 calories. Would that be enough, do I need less than that? How is yours and how active are you?
5"2 104lbs - looking for similar stats people to add me :)
Short introduction - I am currently maintaining. Although, I wouldn't mind losing some fat, even if that means dipping a little in lbs, whatever comes naturally. Right now I eat 1500-1900, 1500 most days because I'm on a budget. I do hatha/vinyasa yoga in a hot room daily, and frequently hike and ski on the weekends. Also…
Welcome one & all of MFP's semi-vertically challenged :]
Well hi there! I'm Jolene. I'm 22 years old, a mother of two lovely babies (one nearly 2 and one 7 months old), wife of one (husband not baby) and full-time student. I started this group because I had trouble finding people with stats similar to mine sometimes when I really needed advice or to know from others who…

Where is everyone? :]
I havent seen any activity in a while so I figured I would check up! How is everyone? I ate the equivalent of an entire ordered out 12-14" pizza (lots of cheese! Lol) in the last 2 days and didn't gain any weight lol You?
Just because u r short, does not mean u must starve.
I think it's a misconception that you have to eat very little to lose weight, even if you are short. But I dont think that is true at all. Your calories should be more based on your weight in my opinion. Because a person who is 5'10 & 170 will burn the same as someone who is 5'2, 170 (that is if they're on the same…
So short!
I'm only 4' 9" , but this is the shortest group I found. to lose weight i have to eat very little and exercise a lot. Just joined myfitnesspal as another desperate attempt at a normal weight!
