Any shorties out there??

[Tami]

I am 160cm and currently weigh 62-63kgs. I have struggled with my weight since having children, was 50kg pre-kiddies and the most I have weighed was 78kg.

I find these days I feel out of proportion, big tummy, hips and thighs and small upper body. If I was more in proportion I think I would be okay with my current weight, but I really have very little motivation to do any real exercise. I walk alot but that is about it.

My DH loves the way I look and gets frustrated with the image I have of myself, so I try to remind myself that the stretch marks and extra padding are a mother's honourary badge.

I would love to lose about 5 kilos but tend to lose it in places that I can't afford to lose weight and it makes my lower body look even bigger.

I'm around 5'2" (I think, haven't been measured in ages!) and also have no idea what I weigh because I prefer to go by how my clothes fit and how I feel. At a guess I'd say about 55kgs, generally size 8 to 10, but can be anywhere from 6 to 12 depending on brand (and my bikini bottoms are a size 14, WTF?!?). At the moment I am a little heavier than I'd like to be. I'd like to fit back into the jeans I wore about 12 months ago.

Haven't had any bubs but have had hormonal imbalances since going on and then off the pill in the past 12 months. So would like to get rid of the extra padding on my hips and stomach.

Same here! I know my DP gets upset when he sees me feeling unhappy with how I look/feel because he thinks I'm perfect as I am

PS: don't you just luuurve it when people come up to you at parties/pubs/shopping and say "gee, you're short!". I always like to reply "gee, you're a genius" or (my personal favourite) "thank you Captain Obvious"

I'm 5'3, about a size 16-18 these days. Pre-preg I was a size 14 and getting back there is my current goal. Idealy I'd like to be a size 12 but I don't know if that's achievable. I'd like to think it is.
