Hey all you short people

Hey everyone!  I'm 5'3" and I'm 205lbs.  I have a few questions for all the Shorties like me...

How old are you?
How short are you?
What is your current weight?
What pant size are you?
What is your short term goal(s)?
What is your long term goal(s)?

Here are my answers to my own questions:

How old am I? 20
How short am I? 5'3
Current weight? 205lbs.
Pant size? 18
ST Goals? Lose 2lbs. a week, follow my exercise plan, <1870 calories/day
LT Goals? Lose 65lbs & keep it off!

Hey there! :)  I just found out I'm 5'2"...for the past 15 years I thought I was 5' even, so I *think* I'm a giant...but in reality I guess I'm still pretty short!   

 

How old are you?  34

How short are you?  5'2

What is your current weight? 131

What pant size are you?  Depends.  Juniors jeans 11, Express pants 4-6, Old Navy 4-6  It really depends on the brand.  I'm a pear and carry most of my weight...okay, all of my weight in my butt, hips and thighs.  They're getting smaller, but compared to my XS or S tops it looks a little ridiculous.

What is your short term goal(s)?  Get down to 110 for weight and maintain a healthy BMI of 20.  I'm doing this as well by about 2 pounds a week or so. :)

What is your long term goal(s)?  I want to change my life to exercise is a big part of it and important to me.  I'm half way there.  I notice if I don't exercise at least 3 times a week now I'm cranky.  That doesn't mean I enjoy it really, but I do it for my sanity.  (Work can be a little stressful!)  But I'd really like to just make it a part of who I am.  I've been doing this since July (exercising) and we have a home gym as well as a membership to a gym so my resources are there, I just need to make sure I utilize them for life.  My mom is a body builder...she's been a huge inspiration to me.  She currently has a body fat count of 9%, I know I won't get there unless I start lifting the way she does, maybe some day...but for now...baby steps. :)

Good luck with your goals!!  Being here has been very helpful to me...I'm sure it will be for you.  The tools and the people here are wonderful resources.  I used to use this place about 3 years ago for calorie finding...now I'm using all the tools and I'm finding that it makes it that much easier and less stressful for me. 

I love threads devoted to fellow shorties. LOL
I think I win most of them in that I am VERY short (not that it's a contest, but if it makes you feel taller, I am glad to help :)

What is your current weight? 107.5
What pant size are you? Depends, anywhere between 2-4
What is your short term goal(s)? Get to goal weight of 105.
What is your long term goal(s)? Build more muscle even if it means gaining some weight especially in my lower body. I'm starting to be less concerned with the numbers and more concerned with building some muscle.

I'm more concerned with the measurments & being fit.  I have a large frame, so I know I'll never be model-thin and I'm okay with that.  I just want to be able to feel good in a bathing suit (a one piece, even! LoL). 

 And I want to be able to really give it my all when I play tennis.  Eric (boyfriend) and I started playing this past summer and I love it, I just want to be more in shape so that I don't have to keep telling him to take it easy!  LoL

My baby is 6 years old. I have been compulsively overeating for the past 5 years after losing my spouse suddenly and being left to raise two babies alone.  This year I remarried, and the doctor told me that my cholesterol is high, and that I really need to lose weight. 

I am really strugglling with this.  I am having a hard time passing up sugary sweets.  But I am two weeks without frenchfries or cheeseburgers.  Woo Hoo!  Working out, but it is hard cause I am in horrible shape.  But I am doing it. 

Trish

I am 39

5'2" (give or take half an inch)

154 lbs.

mostly 6, some 8's

Stay under 155

I always said I didn't want to get model thin, but the thinner I am the more I struggle with my actual numbers.  And the fact that I don't look like I think I should after losing all this weight.
