4-11 to 5-2 Club. Weight Gain Is Worse On Short Folks.

Looking For Folks 4-11 To 5-2, To Lose Weight With. I Need Help And Inspiration Bad!!!!!!! No One Around Me Is My Size And They Just Don't Get That One Cookie Can Send Me Over The Edge. Need Encouragement Fast, Close To 200 Pounds. Help

Hello hhollyhal, the difference between your size and your friends size is simple, I had this problem when I was thinner. I was told by my personal trainer that a pound of musle is 5 times smaller than a pound of fat, tone up if you can and if you do weights, he said a little weight, 5-8 pounds with lots of reps (like about 50).

good luck, I'm 186 now but I used to be a gym hound before my depression set in.  BTW, I should have never gotten rid of the personal trainer, worth every penny.

I know cocowan, i miss my trainer too but im broke and lucky i can still afford my gym membership.  I weight train like crazy but a girl at work thinks i might be over doing it so my new plan is to mix it up a bit.  The only areas I really have any fat left are the hardest ones to tone (my inner thighs, triceps. and abs).  I have back issues so the abs are a little tricky but im trying!

Hello all,

don't for get that Sundays are Weigh ins and that there are a few challenges out there. Tuesday was the Water Challenge and Wednesday is the Cardio Challenge. If any one has an idea for a Thursday Challenge I'd love to read it. Otherwise I'll come up with something:}   everyone have a great day and keep with your calories.

I'm new here and I'm 5'1 and 195 lbs. Yuck!  I'd be happy to lose 55 lbs.  This weight creeped up on me over the last 5 yrs.  I have a treadmill I'm starting to use.  I have one question though.  Do any of you shorties have a problem starting out on the  treadmill over 2mph?  Anything over that it seems like I'm jogging, and I don't want to jog, but a fast paced walk.  I'm going to start out with 1/2 hour on the  treadmill each day until I work up to 45 min.

Well, I'm glad I found this place.:)

imashorty, I did the same thing and I'm 4'11. I can only go for short periods of time above 2 mph. then I drop back down. I do 45 mins and I spend about 10 mins at 2.2 - 2.4 mph. any more than that my hips get a little rubbery.

Count me in! I'm new here and need all the help and advice I can get : )
I'm 21 yrs old

highest weight 130lbs

current weight 125lbs

Goal weight 105-110lbs

lowest weight 105lbs

I excercise 30mins cardio and 30 mins of weight training 4 to 5 times a week. Sometimes just 30-60 mins of cardio.

Stupid Nordic track!  I tried it out at a friend's house and I swear they must think people our height don't need to lose weight because I could barely touch the those arm pulls!  Even after adjusting it there's no way I could use it effectively.

I'm going back to my jump rope.

Hey, I know this is a bit late...

I'm 5"2 and 137 pounds. Would like to get down to about 105.

I'm 16 and everyone else is thinner than me. lol.

Lowest weight was only 133 pounds. My first goal weight is 127 :]

i definitly agree with the person that says they sniff food and gain weight... ha

im here for you totally!! im 5'1 and its terribleee! cant gain a pound or you'll notice it badddd.

Hi all, I ate well, did 30 mins cardio in the morning and due to some pretty nasty storms didn't make the cardio in the afternoon.

trying again today tho.   I fell off the exercise wagon and I think it's dragging me today.  Exercise is alway the hardest for me to get in during the week.

Wow, this post really is great.

I'm 5' 1", highest weight (last year in May) 157, current 135, goal 125, age 52

I used to exercise 45 min. daily, then I started craving more food  (I do mean serious binging).   I decided to decrease my time to 30min. daily.  I think it's more important for me to go easy on the exercise if it helps me have more success with my food choices.

Have a good day everyone!

I am 5"2' and started in March as 190...am not 180!!!!  You can't tell my looking though that I lost.  Very discouraging...my hubby can feel the change, but you can't see it yet.  I think it takes longer when you are short.  I am longer legged and very short waisted...that doesn't help.

HI!  Yes I am a fellow "shorty" 

I am the dreaded 40 yrs old and

I'm 5'0" and 149 lbs now (started WW on Jan 3rd @ 159 lbs)

I set a "mini-goal" of 140 by my 20th annivarsary on May 22

This site has been awesome...was doing WW but until I found this site (Feb 14)nothing much was happening!  Now I have been losing at least 1 lb a week thanks to all the advice and information on here!

I would love to join all of you!

I am 31 yrs old, mother of 2 and step-mother of 2 more

I am 5' 2" and 178 lbs

I am engaged to a wonderful man (who loves me for me) but I was a lot lighter (145 lbs) when I meet him 2 years ago.

I must admit that I don't exercise much but I am starting slowly.  I TRY to eat healthy and I like the cocktails (with 4 kids, who wouldn't)!  So I am also trying to limit that.

ate good today and drank lots of water. Just had to tell someone.

Im with you cocowan.  I bought an extra water bottle that holds 32 oz and am drinking three of them a day.  I have to be burning extra calories from always having to run to the bathroom!

I am in please.

Hi,

Another one joining up - I'm 5'1'' and 161 pounds.

I really hate the fact that one of my wormates weighs a stone more than me and looks half my weight because she's 5'7''. And does anyone else get fed up with stores that don't do trousers for petite women? I'm fed up of having to cut about a foot off most trousers that I buy.

However, have sympathy for my mum, who's only 4'10''!

The needle on my scale is going down!  Not yet a pound but slowly getting there.  :)

Yea, my daughter is shorter than I am.  Now, I regret not shooting her up with hormons when she was around 2yrs. old. She says she's okay with her height.  At least she doesn't have a weight problem the way I did when I was her age.  Thanks to her father's genes in that area.  

I'd like to join. :]

Age: 17
Height: 5'2''
Current Weight: 119.5
Highest Weight: 133.5
Lowest Weight: 118

I know what you mean; I eat one little bit of food and I gain like five pounds. ;_;
