Hi - I am 5'3" (just barely), 63 years young and trying really hard to lose this ugly weight :laugh: I am currently participating in a weight management program run by a very well-known endocrinologist. She has been telling me for months that it is more difficult for short women to lose weight. I try to eat around 1200…

Welcome to MFP! This is a wonderful site...I know you will succeed :smile:

Budds Creek is in my "neck of the woods". I didn't even realize there was a local race - will have to tell my hubby the runner!

I saw Haylie on Dr. Oz a few weeks ago and she makes a lot of sense!! I may have to buy her book.

You look great - what an inspiration!

I am 5'2 and started at 210 lbs. Currently weigh 197. The dr. told me it was much harder for shorter people to lose weight because our bodies are so efficient!!! I will NOT give up...

OMG - I do the same "squat" in my newly laundered jeans! Love the name!!! Have a great day:flowerforyou:

I made this pudding this afternoon and you would NEVER know it was made with avocado! What a wonderful treat. Thanks for posting the link :smile:

I can't wait to try this - looks delicious!!

I am fighting the same problem and it is so frustrating...doing everything right and the weight will still not come off! But, I will not give up....my health and feeling better is worth the fight. Hang in there...

Forty-two years married and counting! Yes, there have some terrific times and there have been some rough times. My hubby and I are about as opposite as it gets, but it works!

Leslie Sansone's dvds are great. It's amazing how fast it goes and you don't need a lot of space. The Walk/Jog dvd equals a 2.5 mile exercise and it only takes 30 minutes start to finish. Good luck!

Congratulations! Having the determination and strength to lose that weight just shows that you can accomplish anything in life you choose to do! Way to go!

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

The Fitbit monitors steps, calories burned, mileage and sleep. Everytime you walk within 15 feet of your computer, it sinks the information automatically. Each time you log in to the website, it tells you all that info plus your activity graphing, eating patterns (if you log the calories in) and more detailed information…

After much research, I bought the Fitbit instead of the Bodybugg. I like the fact that I can wear this very small gadget on my bra instead of an armband. The Fitbit website is free whereas the Bodybugg charges monthly. I have been amazed at how many calories I actually burn (much higher than I thought). The Fitbit also…

Sounds like a good plan!!

It might be the sugar or you may have hit a plateau and need to change things up a bit. Most of the ladies on my other thread say monitoring sugar is sometimes the key. Congrats on the weight loss so far - you can be very proud of that!!

Steve: What do you think about the new gadget the "FitBit" to measure daily calorie expenditure? Last year, I spent 10 months on MFP consistently logging food, exercising and I gained 5 pounds! I am short at 5'2" and weigh (sadly :cry: ) 195 pounds. I think that after years of dieting, I have put my body into starvation…
