Saying hello

[Redcat1952]

Hi I been a member since 2016 and not added introduction yet. Well I am short and fat and yearn to unleash the 5ft 6in slim person inside of me. As I am only 5ft that's a tall order. I am having trouble shifting this weight which really crept on since last July. Speak more soon.

I have the same problem - I'm the ideal weight - it's just my height that's the problem!! Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Thank you Marylou I will be trying hard according to last weight check need to lose 4-5stone

[Marylou54 in reply to Redcat1952]

I'm supposed to lose 3 stone ..... it just seems like a huge amount - keep telling myself to think in terms of small steps which will (eventually) add up to a bigger amount. The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step - and all that .....

Hi Marylou54 It seems like we have the same journey weightwise. I have 24 Kgs which is a little over 3stone, but slowly-slowly the snail will also get there😁. Have a great week

[Marylou54 in reply to Mammou]

I'm operating more on geriatric snail pace I think.....😂

Hi Redcat1952 I am so on your page!! What I am hoping for is when I have lost all the weight that I am aiming for, the spread will turn into length! Unfortunately for me, I am a well spreaded 5ft 5Inces..... So working from there I will have to become a 6ft model to have the body I would want to Oh well one can only but dream Lets dream together! Have a great journey to reach your 5ft 6in slim body!

[Marylou54 in reply to Mammou]

Thank you my daughter has cleared my garage and guess what? She has unearthed our treadmill, our stepper, our exercise bike with cardio workout, our ab worker, thigh exerciser, and my weightlifting stuff. Well who knew that's where they were all hiding. So slowly slowly I have to reintroduce myself to the gang.

[Marylou54 in reply to Redcat1952]

You obviously didn't hide them well enough ......

[Mammou in reply to Redcat1952]

It seems that you have one heck of a garage for these little objects to disguise themselves so well😂😂 I am sure your daughter can become the next big Sherlock Holmes🕵🏻‍♀️

Hello from England Redcat1952,I’m Jo, 3ft 9 inch tall. I know how you feel. Joined last year but lapsed due to hand surgery and other medical issues. . Lost 2 stone over the years, now I’ve to lose the last 2 stone which I find difficult as I have spinal stenosis and bulging discs, mobility is poor. Need to get my eating habits under control first then gentle exercise. So, hear I am again… One day at a time. Hopefully we’ll succeed.

All the best on your weight loss journey!

Jo.
