Heya! I'm 26, 4'10, and currently 116 lbs. My highest ever weight was 189 back in high school, but for the last several years I was stuck at 125-136 lbs, or hovering around that. I've been grinding hard since October, and this is the lowest I've ever been. I've got a "large" bone structure/frame for my height (a wrist…

Hey, all! I've been vegan for the past year, and was vegetarian the year prior to that. Since going all out vegan, I've had way more energy, better sleep, absolutely no digestion issues, and generally feel awesome. I work out 5 times a week doing cardio and weights. I've gained quite a lot of muscle, and my functionality…

Height: 4'10" Weight: 123 lbs Waist: 25" Hips: 35" Yay, tiny fitness ladies!

Yay, new week and a new start! It poured buckets here all weekend, so I was unfortunately unable to bike or run or really do anything outdoors, which is what I usually do on Sundays. Boo! I spent the sleepy day with my folks for Father's day, and we went to a steakhouse for dinner, haha. Being vegan kind of helps the…

Happy Monday! Some of us are starting over, and some of us are trying to keep the motivation up. And also trying to deal with the weekend being over, boo! ++One Thing I Want to Do Well This Week++ I want to really power through my spin and boxing classes...My cardio is good, but I'm still really weak at simple things like…

Where is everyone?! Haha, probably outside enjoying the summer (if you've got nice weather where you are!) I forced myself up at 6 am so I could box from 6:45-7:45. Didn't ride my bike today (boo!) but I'm going horseback riding with my mother-in-law tonight, so I'll get a teensy tiny bit of strength training out of that.…

Yeah Wednesday! My favourite day...the weekend is so close I can taste it :P Hope everyone's having a fantastic week so far. I rode in to work today again, since the weather's been fantastic, and I'll be doing a 1 hour weighted spin class after work. Then riding home again, because I looove biking. How can you tell? My…

Morning, all!! Hope it's at least a little sunny wherever you are! I'm in Winnipeg, and we've had some gloomy rain...now it's warm and bright and chipper again. So nice to see! I'm vegan, so I have to pay a lot of attention to my protein sources, taking an iron supplement, and making sure my foods are b12 fortified! I've…

Aw yeah, delicious watah! I biked to work (which is about 5 miles), intend to do a 60 min boxing workout at 5:30 after work, then I'll ride home again! I've so far slurped up about 710 ml, as I carry my water bottle around and drink at my desk. PS, I've been 'fruiting up' my water, lately...just fill a pitcher, chop up a…

Heya! Dropped into my boxing club a little early to do some core work, then attended half a high-intensity spin class. Had to cut out early because I was meeting a friend, but I got my hour in. I was drenched by the time I left. Hooha!

Oops, I wish MFP would give you notifications when people ask you questions... WELL almost three months late, but yes, 1800 is my net. I burn anywhere from 400-950 cals on good days, and this all depends on the type of workout. Generally, I walk about 5 miles a day, to and from work then to the gym. When there I'll do a…

FRUIT! Apples, naval oranges, strawberries, grapes--light, water-filled fruits. Or nothing-on-it-plain popcorn. Or, if I'm absolutely starving and my dinner wasn't that huge, peanut butter on 1 piece of rye/multigrain/ezekiel toast :) eating at night isn't a sin, just make the choice a healthy one.

Yesss shorties! Love the short lady posts :) I'm 4'10", currently 118 lbs. I started out at 149.8 lbs (HW: 187 in high school), and I'm aiming for 105. I've got an 'in the meantime' goal of 110, as my tendency so far has been to reach certain goals and re-assess whether or not I want to continue losing. I've considered…

It's tough, for sure! I'm in the same boat. Luckily I currently live alone, so I have complete control over all the food in my house, but my fiancé comes over a lot, and he loves his snacks! These include pop, chips, fast food, buttered popcorn, etc. Bless him though--he has given up lots of things like I have (beef, pork)…

Finally getting around to posting pics! I'm 4'10. My HW was 187, peaking in high school. I adopted a healthier lifestyle in my first years of uni and went down to 127, but over the past 3 years I went back up to 150, yikers! I've been eating MEGA clean and working out 5-7 times a week since August, 2012. I'm currently 119…

Jalapeno and Cheddar chips by Old Dutch. Or any salty snack, to be honest. CHEEZIES? RUFFLES? You delicious *kitten* haunt me still.

River Heights! I go to the Rady Jewish Center to work out, if anyone else does. It seems my neighbourhood is quieter than this group sometimes, except for the odd weekly running group :)
-
I'm feelin' so many feels with all the shorty love! It's nice to see there are more of us kicking around :) I'm at 4'10", and I've still got 15 lbs to go. I'll post pics later (you can kind of see where I am currently at in my profile), but yes! Loving the inspiration :)

Thanks for all the input and support, everyone! I really appreciate it. I've made several changes in the last couple of days, namely upping my intake to 1800, and changing my macros to 60% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbs. Since I'm on the road to becoming vegetarian, I've had to go out and get creative with finding alternative…
-
Thank you :) Yeah, I've decided to just go for it and get myself up to 1500 today, and try to increase that to 1800 over the next few weeks in small increments. I've calculated my BMR, and with my level of activity, it puts me at a recommended intake of around 2100 cals per day. That seems like a huge amount to me!
-
Oh thank the lord, a thread for me! Hopefully my stats/experience helps, though you do already have a lot of responses :) I'm 4'10, currently 123.6 lbs, highest 187. 125 lbs was my goal weight for years before I actually understood just how much my height affects my body composition. I'm currently aiming for 105 (want to…

I actually lost a pound, took care to log everything every day and stayed under my calorie goals, remained accountable, worked out/exercised where possible...but most of all, I didn't sweat it either way :) I still indulged in treats, that's for sure (mm, cake)! But I did limit all of my portions. I also don't eat pork or…

Foam rollers are DA BOMB, let me tell you. Textured or otherwise, it really helps. And rather than going for heat, icing it for 20 mins at a time will help decrease the swelling. When I wrecked my IT band (which is totally common for runners), I went to a sport physio therapist. She massaged about 2 inches deep into my…

My dad is in his 60s, and cracks wise about anything and everything, most of the time in bad taste, but I still love him anyway. And sometimes he says the same sort of things your dad does. But like what a lot of other people have said in this post, it's all perspective, and it's all about how you feel about yourself. I…

An inspiration! So proud of your hard work, wow. Amazing :)

23! I've been on here for 3 months, but I haven't tried connecting with anyone, d'oh!
