Petite support thread... continued

[BogRollBOGOF]

All petites are welcome on this thread, but it seemed like it would be particularly helpful to have a corner of Mumsnet for those of us who are petite/small framed and officially a 'healthy weight' but know we feel/look better a few pounds lighter (which would still be within a healthy weight/not underweight).

Maybe we can share goals, progress, struggles, things that are working, etc.? It would also be lovely to hear from any petites who are at a 'happy weight' and what you are doing to be successful.

Feel free to share as much or little as you like. Height, current weight, goal weight or other body measurements, nutrition, calories, exercise, NSV, etc.

Happy bloody Saturday. Weighed in this morning at 52kgs exactly.

Started this journey in August last year at 60kgs, the heaviest I’ve been in my adult life (aside from pregnancy) how and why I got to that weight I have no idea but I have a feeling it was the antidepressant I’d been on for 18 months. I weaned myself off that slowly and came off it properly in Jan of this year.

I think I’m going to continue the ‘weight loss’ for another month & try and get to 50/ 51kgs and then start just trying to maintain/ only go up a few lbs. That feels scary to me though as I have no idea how to do that. I worry if I start eating relatively ‘normally’ now that all the weight will just pile back on!

We’ll see!

Hope everyone else is getting on okay!

Congratulation @Iloveleaveinconditioner that's amazing work.

I am currently 60kg. Heaviest I have ever been. This time last year I got down to 54kg and was happy with that but I have put on a lot of weight through emotional eating. I can see it in my face now which I hate but will hopefully trigger me to go back to being more sensible. Plus its hot now, so salads are more appealing than carbs.

Good luck with the maintenance.
