I'm 5' 0" and agree every pound on me seems like at least 5 for taller ppl!! I have lost ~10 pounds so far - at 147 goal weight 130. Feel free to add me and we can support each other!!

hi- I'm 5'0" and need to lose at least 25 pounds... currently have lost 5 pounds since starting. Would love to have friends who understand that when you are short you look at it and it is on your waist!!! :smiley:

congrats you look great!!!

My NSV: Took the stairs each morning to my office at work (short week- only 4 days!) 2 flights of stairs but they are killer- I am always huffing and puffing by the time I reach my desk- sad!! Only been back "on the health wagon" for about 2 weeks so hopefully in a few weeks the stairs will become easier!!! Cardio/ stamina…

You look great!!! Don't worry about the 8#- Just get back on track and do what you've been doing!!

I'm in... just getting back on the wagon so will try for 60 minutes of planks for the month- standard ones...hopefully they will be easier by Jan 31!!!

just turned 48 although I am not sure how this happened lol.. want to feel better about my weight and my health in general! Would love to have friends to share the journey with- feel free to add me as a friend!

Good luck to you - I am similar... just ready to get a handle on my weight and feel better about my health in general! Would love to have friends to share the journey with- feel free to add me as a friend!

trying to get back on track after "falling off the wagon..." -would love to have some friends to help motivate me and for me to cheer you on as well.. pls add me!

would love some additional friends/ support- just becoming active again...

thought it was just me- definitely isn't working!

excellent advice!

just ignore the skinny commenter- just an ignoramus!!! ppl are so stupid, so cruel, anything to make themselves feel superior - feel sorry for her- lots of insecurities!! I hope you enjoyed all your treats! having them just once in a while ups the satisfaction level I think...

I just started the C25K- I have run in the past- done a few 5ks, etc. but haven't had too much luck building my stamina. Finally using my treadmill that I bought 3+ years ago lol! Just finished W1, Day 2- walking 3.5; running 5.0 - sometimes I slow down the walk for a bit after the run to catch my breath. I am 5'0" so even…

hi - I'm 5'0" -44 (45 next week!) around 141- in it to win it - looking to lose about 20# - feel free to add me - always looking for more like minded, healthy oriented friends... when you are short seems every ounce shows.... go team shorties! :-)

great results- congrats to you! enjoy your accomplishments!

hi - I totally understand- 5'0" - I feel like an ounce on me is a pound on someone else... It shows immediately in my gut- nowhere to go - currently at 136 - 12# down - about 15 to go!!! this time I want to keep it off as well... feel free to add me - always looking for more support - will support you right back :) be…

I travel a lot for work as well...gets old really fast! try some protein bars, oats (in a baggie - ask for a cup w/ some hot water at a coffee place or on the plane= oatmeal :) bring a sandwich/salad from home or your fave place (high in protein- leave off dressings as will get soggy/ security) for the first part of your…

hi - found this thread- I am a 44, single, professional woman - just me :-) travel a lot for work and trying to get on track (yet again!) would be great to have more like minded woman w/ same issues, etc. Beth

One way to save is to buy larger sizes and portion them out (for some things- not my trigger foods!)- ex: greek yogurt- I buy the non fat plain 32 oz - (store brand or whatever is on sale) (or largest size) then portion out to a smaller 8 oz bowl when ready to eat- I use the individual sizes for only when I am out running…

I am 5'0" - I have tiny wrists and feet... wish my waist was the same- wanting to lose about 25 pounds.... looking for more friends/ support esp from felllow shorties - we understand each other... I look at food and can gain a few pounds... I love wine but giving it up for a while to stay focused.. ugh!! no more diet coke…

don't get discouraged- slow and steady - you have had an injury as well so your body takes time to heal and you can't push as hard as you would like. Have you taken your measurements lately / how are your clothes fitting?- do you have a baseline to compare them to - if not - take your measurements- you could be losing…

I am 5' 0" and my weight yo yos up and down... 44 yrs yound andI started again last month - seriously tracking my food and working out - was up to 148 and felt awful!!! quit diet coke about 3 weeks ago which really helped w/ bloat - now at about 139.5 but took a 5 day vacation and have to see what the scale says in the…

Hi all - would like to join this as well! back from vacation and back on track this week! :-)

I couldn't believe the 30 pound weight gain in 3 weeks- I have had some binges but wow! I don't understand why therapy was never discuss- I think on an earlier season he offered to pay for some therapy and the person agreed and of course helped a long way towards the emotional eating. I am not sure how she will succeed…
