  • welcome all newbie shorties

    I got the pregnancy question once. i wanted to cry.

    brokengently, my calorie count is the same range. I don't worry too much bout the protein, sodium n such. I'm sooooo not a salt person so if anything is too salty I don't eat it.

    I did excellent yesterday. didnt pass 1300 calories and did my zumba (my instructor is hysterical!) and about 20 minutes on the stationary bike. this morning i had my coffee and decided to do 100 jumping jacks.

    keep it up shorties xoxo
  • Hey everyone! Glad to see we got a new thread-- Things for me are going great! I see we have a lot of newbies here Welcome! ! Today I'm trying to stay on the low side of my calories because I've been on the upper side of my calories so I thought if I bounced down maybe it will increase the weightloss! So it'll be around 1,230 today! I'm going to get in atleast 30 minutes of working out today. This morning's weigh in was a whopping 159.8 lbs! My all-time low! I'm beyond excited to get out of the 160's and hope that 159 is not a fluke. Good luck to all!
  • brokengently- around 1700. i have a long way to go. Just starting this week so I'll have to wait and see and adjust along with way. Just started turbo fire. I'll have to give an update in a few weeks.

    I gotten the pregnancy question a few times... not cool.
  • GOOD MORNING ALL!

    JLNichols that's awesome...congrats!!!

    I did very well yesterday. stayed under 1300 calories again and went to the gym n did 20 minutes treadmill then a 45 minute triple fat burning class.

    Anyone do or has done kettlebells? I need something to do on the weekends that is more towards toning since I do a lot of cardio during the week.

    I've made my weigh-in on Mondays. This way hopefully it will help me from over indulging over the weekends......(especially with the beer lol)
  • Hey all! I somehow missed this new Shorties thread... but, I'm really glad it's here. Thanks Jenniegrl!

    I agree, extra weight shows on us immediately.. no fair!

    I'm a calorie counter, and I've been working on running (registered for an 8K in April) and have recently incorporated Bikram Yoga into my routine.

    Looking to shed those last nagging 8-10 lb to reach my goal weight, and to successfully complete this 8K thing.. without passing out.

    Have a great day ladies!

  • Hey all.
    I posted in the old thread. I'm pretty new here and am starting my journey to lose 80lbs I have already lost 3lbs officially. I guess it's a good start. Am going to start adding in exercise from Saturday when I get back to my house from my parents, am looking forward to it, have been in a sort of limbo waiting to start my plan properly. But am so ready to get rid of this 80lbs FOREVER!
    I like being a shortie (5 foot nuffin!) most of the time but when it comes to weight, being 200lbs is definitely noticeable and i can't wait to get rid of it
    Well i'm glad I found you fellow shorties! Good to see other's progress who are similar weights and heights.

  • Hi everyone!!!

    Jennie- Never did kettlebells.

    I did my turbo fire today. I get up before work which seems to help since I'm tired after work. I weigh myself everyday but I think I'll update my ticker on Sat.
  • My jeans are getting loose! and i could actually breath after i zipped my sweater up today! exxxxcited

    What diet is everyone doing here? Im calorie counting. Usually 1000-1300 varies by day. Anyone else?
  • Weightforme- I am calorie counting also. Depending on the day, I do 1200-1500 cals. As you can see in my profile info Im just under 5 ft. and weigh 190. When I came to this site I knew I wanted to change myself. I weighed that night after I had created my prof.The scale read 2 lbs more than I weighed a month ago OUCH.

    Hope we can share info on this journey! Congrats on feeling good today!
  • good on calories today and my turbo fire dvds are really good.
    Tomorrow I'll do my weekly weigh in and I'm hoping to move my ticker!!!
  • this morning I'm 175.5. So a solid 2 pound loss is okay. i wish it was more but at least the scale is moving in the right direction.

    Shorties have a great Saturday!!!!
  • Hi, shorties! I'm short, too. This is the first time I've seen this thread. I'm doing the low carb thing. I didn't do so hot over the holidays, of course, and today I'm going to a birthday party. Oh, well. I did manage to avoid the brownies my kids and husband ate yesterday. That is something.

    Nice to meet you all!
  • Helloooo ladies! dropped 2lbs this week brings me to 160! I could scream i'm so happy....AHHHHH!!

    Hope you all had an awesome week as well!
