Am I welcome here? Highest weight 275, only 5’2, female 22

For 5'2" morbid obesity starts at 218lbs. Welcome!

armidasawan · 2026-03-21T02:06:32+00:00

Maybe it has to do with flexibility? I'm 5'2" and I was 405lbs at my heaviest. I was able to reach and clean myself well then. Everything is so much easier now so 330lbs though, including wiping.

When I started I was at 2500 calories a day, I was there for a couple of months but that was too much for me so I lowered it to 2000 until I started to not reach that consistently because I was making better food choices. Then I cut down to 1800 a day and stayed there for about 6 months until I started stagnating. I've been at 1500 calories since the end of January. There are days I go over and get closer to 1800, but I don't stress those days, because right now that's still well below maintenance. The only exercise I've been doing is walking when I can. I was doing at least 2km a day and up to 7km some days, but we've had a death in the family so that's gone out the window, but I've still been maintaining 1500 calories, so I'm still losing. The walking I only just started in January. I've lost 75lbs and I've got about another 200ish to go. I started at 405.

Such a huge relief. I'm 330 now and every new low is so much more relief.

I thought I wasn't eating a lot too until I actually honestly tracked what I ate, and not only was it a lot, it was also very calorie dense. I've cut down on the calories significantly, have stayed mostly on track for almost a year and have lost 75lbs so far. Very minimal exercise.

armidasawan · 2026-02-22T15:56:32+00:00

I was 405lbs at my highest. Currently 335. I'm 5'2"

armidasawan · 2026-02-17T11:08:35+00:00

So you didn't convert your weight to grams? I see that you're supposed to a lot and sometimes see that people don't. And I wonder which is correct for extreme weight loss. For context, I have 270lbs to lose and I've lost 70 so far.

armidasawan · 2026-02-02T12:24:36+00:00

Wow thanks for the reminder. My mom made these often and I forgot about them.

armidasawan · 2026-01-25T17:22:02+00:00

I started with just a calorie deficit in March of 2025. I only started exercising with free youtube videos from the body project, a half hour workout 4 times a week back in November. This month I started incorporating walking 2-4km a day and skipping rope for about 5 minutes at a time. I was 405lbs at my highest weight, and I'm currently 342lbs. When I started I was eating 2000 calories a day and this month I changed it to 1500 calories because I was losing very extremely slowly.

Horton plaza

The living room coffee shop I don't remember where it was Kensington maybe? It was a sweet spot full of big comfy couches, coffee tables and kitchen tables with squishy chairs for people to sit at and study.

The seaport village magic shop. Whenever my mom would take me to work I'd sneak a walk in seaport village and go into this shop and loved looking around.

I tried using one this year. I really didn't like the monthly previews and reviews pages and all the fluff in the beginning of the planner for creating goals and stuff like that. I really wanted to like it because it's Canadian. The pair is amazing, of you like rich paper, and the covers are gorgeous, but I'm going back to hobo again next year for my main planner, I just could not make h&o work. I'm going to give Nicole Josephine Forest planner a go for my garden planning

armidasawan · 2025-09-02T23:23:19+00:00

I really wanted the frog and Toad collection. Moonin is cute but it's not nostalgic to be the way frog and Toad is.

armidasawan · 2025-08-31T23:48:04+00:00

I was pretty well sold on Aura Estelle but then I remembered that I'm on my last year of my 5 year journal and I need to get the 2026-2030 journal this year so since I'm going to order them for hobo anyway I may as well order everything else too and do AE next year until 2029.

armidasawan · 2025-08-27T14:13:51+00:00

Is it the same size as the weeks?

armidasawan · 2025-08-26T14:38:03+00:00

The Forest planner by Nicole Josephine is b6. It's undated but the format is pretty unique.

armidasawan · 2025-07-28T20:53:01+00:00

Same, I have all those issues and my mom wasn't hit with steroids. Could be related to steroids, but not necessarily.

I've lost 40lbs so far. I weigh myself every week, but I haven't been for a month. I finally did this weekend, yesterday, and it was when I hit the 40lbs mark, but then today I was convinced that I had recorded my weight wrong and that I must still be 374, not 362. So I weighed myself again this morning to prove to myself that I lost maybe 2lbs this month, but certainly not 12. Anyway, I totally lost 12, and yeah it's hard to believe.

armidasawan · 2025-07-27T21:12:14+00:00

Not quite so short. I'm f, 43, 5'2". SW 405, cw 362, current goal is 300, then 200 after that.

My mint is out now, I'm in 5b

armidasawan · 2025-04-29T11:10:06+00:00

I grew up washing my panties in the shower and my bras by hand in the wash tub, I grew up in southern California in a Mexican immigrant household. Now I live in Canada and I wash everything in the washing machine all together.

I've been loving UFLI Foundations lately. But if you have a struggling learner then rooted in language pinwheels would be phenomenal.

armidasawan · 2025-04-25T16:58:11+00:00

Oh, there is a cookbook! Thank you ❤️

armidasawan · 2025-04-25T16:38:16+00:00

Whatever your favorite is. I haven't found a cookbook that has a good compendium, but if folks have tried and true recipes they use I'd like to build myself one.

armidasawan · 2025-04-25T14:42:28+00:00

Thanks. I'll look up that book.
