Great posts, everyone! I am 5'2 1/2" and have the same problem. I need to lose 10-15 pounds to get back down to 115 where I feel best and look best. I have an athletic build with toned legs, but carry the extra weight on my waistline, and a bit on my arms. Every extra pound I gained (even though it's "only" 10) made a…

I'm barely 5'2 & 1/2. Being short is hard on us when we gain weight! I put it all on my middle. I'm here trying to lose a total of 15 pounds to get me down to 117. I'm at 128 now and it is slooowwww going, even though I'm working out every day and eating right. I still keep going and this site is a huge help! Add me if…

Yep, there's a lot of confusion for me too. But I've decided I've got to do what's best for me, even if it means the weight will come off slowly. I've been dieting for 6 weeks and have only lost 4 pounds of the 15 I need to lose. That's so frustrating to me! But I'd rather "do it right" and re-learn good eating and…

It's embarrassing to admit that. But three weeks ago I went "cold…

Hi Mary, I'm new here too! I've led a relatively healthy life too but still had 10-15 pounds creep up on me. I joined this site three days ago and it's wonderful! Feel free to add me and we can encourage each other on our plight to get fit!

I'm over 40 as well and brand new to this site. I'm motivated by what I'm finding so far. You can add me! I'll be glad to help in any way I can. I "only" need to lose 12 pounds, but it is a major challenge for me. I'm looking for supportive, positive people to help encourage me along the way as well. Best wishes to yo!

Wow, congratulations! You look amazing!

I had the same problem, and I didn't want to spend $25 and up on the athletic undies you see in the sporting good stores. Then I stumbled upon a store I had never been to called Soma Intimates. Their undies have some type of material on the edge of the "cheek" area that hold them in place. Another bonus is that they are…
