I’m 5’2 and currently 182 lbs... ugh! 2020 is the year I’m turning my life around. I don’t love my body and it needs to change Edit: About 171 lbs. I will like to mention I started at 203 lbs. In the month of April 2019 (I think). So, then I posted this comment and now I am 171 lbs. Also, I do NOT eat perfect everyday nor do I exercise everyday. Plenty of water and not overeating. Meals 3 times a day (w/snacks) and I never eat at night. Edit: I’m about 163-164 now!! It’s June Edit: I am currently 156-157 July 2020. I’ve been back at the gym for about a month now. It feels good! I typically do weightlifting 4-5 days a week with cardio occasionally.
Oh my God. I've never met anyone who's the same height and weight! And going through the same thing as me. I was just wondering, have you followed through on your goal?
I’m 5’0” and I’m now fighting years of over eating because I was sick of people thinking I had an eating disorder when I was actually at a healthy weight. I was so determined for a long time that people should always see me eating and then I stopped with my athletics due to injury. I really wish people would understand that not everyone is an average height person and stop trying to make everything universally applicable. Thank you for taking the time to explain that weight is such a body specific thing.
This ties into something that really bothers me about the whole "all about that base" movement that seems to be so huge right now. The whole "no treble" part. Just because larger women are finally getting the media love they've deserved for so long, doesn't mean there is something now wrong with thin women. I consistantly feel like yelling at people that thin people didn't sit there supressing larger women and now need to be punished, or something. It was all different people of all different shapes and sizes, who work for marketing and fast fashion, all in an effort to make women feel bad about themselves so they buy more clothing. This mixed with the patriarchy (bah, I hate using that word. New wave feminism (aka women deserve to be more equal than men) has destroyed it with irrelevance and overuse) deserves the fill brunt of the blame. This is something humanity always does, that makes me SO angry: overcompensation! Men get more than women? Let's not just uplift women, lets also degrade men! Larger women are being bullied over their size? Starting a campaign to uplift larger women, and convince people that thin women are no longer undesirable! It's all the same, and it's all ridiculous. ---
I fully agree with you, but my issues started before Facebook even excised to make public shaming easier. In 2003ish? I got tired of always being screened for eating disorders at appointments, having the lunch supervisors stare me down in the lunch room to make sure I was eating, having everything come back to “when was the last time you ate” if I was feeling unwell (which as a chronic migraine sufferer was multiple times a week). It was definitely at a time when it was far less acceptable to be larger. When I turned 16, I decided it was just better to make sure people saw me eating all the time and never saw me go to the washroom close to a time when I had eaten, and it has just escalated since then (when I do start going back down to a healthier weight, everyone except my family gets really worried) I would love some day to see body standards be less about how we look, and more about how we treat them.
@@melsoft121 I've had some of that happen since the early 90's, when a kid in my class called me "skinny" as an insult. I was hurt, but couldn't say anything about it because the kid had called my sister "fat" and apparently that was a much meaner thing to do. I also was asked if I ate enough, but I was a bottomless pit, so people didn't ask for long. That being said, I developed absolutely terrible eating habits because I just thought I could eat whatever I wanted. I'm in the overweight category for my height now, possibly treading into "obesse" territory. That being said, people still say "you look so much healthier now" and "I like you better with a little more meat on you." What I had said, had literally zero to do with Facebook, so trust me when I say, I understand. ♡
Thank you for being transparent!!! Don’t let those negative people get you down or stop you from being transparent. Keep being yourself and love your channel 💕
I'm sorry that person just HAD to say what she did. You've made it very clear on another video as well as this video that your health tracker is just for you. I appreciate you sharing your ideas....I can then figure out what's good for me. I'm 4'11", so I'm VERY aware of how 1 little pound means to us....lol! I was 87 to 98 pounds for most of my life and my clothes seem to just hang on me.....so I always feel most comfortable between 112 & 114 lbs. (don't know if that is acceptable level....I need to research it. Currently I'm at 119 lbs. (yeah, I need to work on that), but a year ago I had jumped to 141 LBS.!!! because I had not been tracking my weight properly, so it's been a slow process getting to where I'm at, but I'm happy with my accomplishments. This is my first year to use a bullet journal and I appreciate your help. Best of Luck to you!! TFS.....
This was a great video, i'm so glad you decided to put it up. It's such a shame that people today are so sensitive and feel like anything they don't like is offensive rather than just someone else's opinion. I figure if you don't like what you're watching, don't watch and find something that is more aligned with you. Please don't let that shake your confidence, your vid's are awesome! Keep being you x
I’ll have to go back and watch again - I was so mesmerized by your handwriting skills, I did not pay attention to all you said. Your diligence to learning the writing skills has definitely paid off. Thank you for sharing.
I am sorry you feel the need to explain so many times about your weight. I am watching your channel for the first time with this one. The thing that brought me here is I started bullet journaling and am looking for inspiration on fitness pages with my own goals in mind! Thank you for the wonderful ideas.
I’m 4’9 and I can relate to everything you’re saying my weight has fluctuated from 85-130 basically because of the bs that people say I’m currently at 110 and going to the gym (where the comments begin) I no longer care about my weight I’m only looking to feel better and look better. Do you girl there will always be someone with something to say!
I was looking for a good layout for healthy eating & exercise and I think you have done a great job. I was sad to hear you worrying about what people thought about your video. As soon as you said your height, I knew there would be no comparison between us and I assume that the vast majority of people are capable of that thought too. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this.
I'm glad you shared about your health and fitness trackers. It is such a touchy subject, and I can understand your nervousness to put it out there. I'm tracking some exercise habits for the first time this month in my bullet journal. I'm working toward small monthly goals rather than bigger goals. Then I'll evaluate at the end of the month and decide on the next month's goals.
Glad I found this. I've been looking for bullet journal ideas to track my weight and measurements. I've been home since March making due with our zoom fitness classes with our coach and just want to keep a better eye on things. Living in pajamas and leggings any progress whether a + or - becomes harder to see.
I love how you set all this up. Thank you so much. I know that as a grown up, everyone's journey is different, thank you for sharing yours to inspire mine. Continued Success
I can relate to you so much. I am also short, a couple inches taller than you, and my ideal weight is 97, which for my petite build and size looks fine and not too thin. People see a number and freak out. I started at 110 and am trying to reach 100 and I love your journal ideas. I'm creating my very 1st bullet journal and found this to be very helpful. Thank you!
I just love how perfect ur letters on ur title just pop! I'll have to keep practicing. Im constantly on some diet but i think i need to add the measurements..and prob a food sensitivity. I went vegan plant based.. and sure enough..dairy doesn't like me..lol. i learned to minimize meat.. i feel ur kind of bullet journal will help me track my progress. I really want results. Im native and I've been told not to eat processed foods.. 🥺 thank you 😊!!! Thank u for sharing!!!
A great video! I, too, am sorry that you were criticized. You ARE very transparent and everything i've watched of yours has been presented with the preface of being personal opinion/personal preference. After all, journaling is personal. I am very grateful that you open up to us and share yourself as you share your techniques. As for your techniques presented here....Oh, my! I'm a fan of ombres! Granted, I don't have a lot of videos under my belt, but this is the first time I've ever seen anyone strive for and get an ombre effect. I also like your writing over your writing in the titles. I'm sure it has an official name, but I don't know it. Thanks again for sharing your talents!
Thank you for being so transparent and also sharing how petite you are - I thought I was 'short' at 5'3", and had no idea you are under 5'. Growing up, I was always ~10lbs heavier than my friends who were the same height, but wore the same size clothes. My point - weight does not define ANY woman. ❤️
These are great! I'm going to incorporate the weight and measurement tracker as well as the weight loss reward tracker. Alongside these I'll do my exercise tracker, a period/ovulation tracker, and daily mood tracker so I can observe any correlations.
I know this is an older video, but as a new viewer, I just wanted to say that I hope you’ve been working toward and/or have already met your health goals. I also want to encourage you in that you do not have to apologize for trying to be healthier and/or setting personal weight loss goals. If others choose to be offended by the idea that a person can actually want to weigh less for health reasons, that is their load to bear - NOT yours. Best wishes from a 4’ 9-1/2” gal who gets it ;-)
I’m glad you shared! I’ve been looking for something to inspire to continue to lose weight and get healthier...and record the journey in my bujo. I hope no one has been negative about the weights you listed. Our bodies are all unique.
I think it was a little rude of that lady to say you were promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. At no point, have you even alluded to implying anyone should do what you're doing, nor have you shown that there is anything wrong with what you are doing. Ignore people who try to bring you down. You're helping people who want to make a chart. Nothing more, nothing less. This is YOUR life, not hers. You're not promoting anything even remotely unhealthy. It's ridiculous that that person would imply, let alone outright say you are doing anything unhealthy. You're simply tracking changes to your body. As someone who came out of the hospital a month ago (exactly, actually) with a diagnosis that I only caught before it killed me BECAUSE I was as in tune with my body as I am, I am really annoyed that this person tried to imply it was a bad thing to track your health in this way. I got a Bullet Journal for the purpose of doing EXACTLY that! Tracking health, weight, and exercise trends is not unhealthy. Obsessing over it is. Giving yourself goals to hit in a weightloss program you've previously run past your doctor is NOT unhealthy. Giving yourself arbitrary goals because you saw someone else do it, is. Rewarding yourself for hitting said goals is NOT unhealthy. Rewarding yourself just for losing weight, no matter how, nor how much, is. Understanding your body, your limits, and talking to your doctor about the best plan for your specific body and lifestyle, is the absolute best thing you can do, and you have done nothing but promote that. So don't let people make you feel like you have done anything wrong. You haven't. If anything, you've raised awareness about eating disorders, and possibly prevented some by reinforcing the importance of speaking with one's doctor about weightloss, body size, and over all nutritional health, before doing anything weightloss related. You are awesome. (Sorry for the rant, it just made me so mad that that person put you down like that. I know you said that they said what they said respectfully, before leaving, but it was wholly unnecessary for anything to have been said at all. It's so evident that this is your journey, no one else's. So it is ridiculous for anyone to think you're promoting anything, for anyone, other than yourself. That person was a bully.)
As a woman of 5' 2", thank you. I was 95lbs in high school. I was active all the time with marching band and ate well. People always wonder how I could eat as much as I did and be so skinny. Like you said health is all personal, when I was pregnant with my son one of the only things I could keep down was a Slim Fast. And people would tell at me that I was pregnant and needed to put on weight and should be drinking this other breakfast shake instead. I tried the other one and it make me sicker. I took the time to compare the labels; guess what the same thing as far as nutrients! One was just marked for fast loss and the other as a quick breakfast solution. People need to get their heads out of their buys and other people's lives and worry about if they are living their best life. Not if we are living our best lives.
Just coming across this video now. I'm 4'10" as well and I'm tired of physicians telling me I'm overweight based on my BMI when I know I'm not. I know I could lose a few pounds, but my goal is definitely not
You made it perfectly clear that it is for you and everyone should check with professionals before doing a set up for themselves. In regard to eating disorders ...I do have an ED and most of this layout FOR ME PERSONALLY would trigger my ED. I'm NOT saying it is a bad layout because it isn't for some people just not entirely for me. What I can definitely use from the video is the monthly tracker. I'd like a bit more explanation of what you track there besides sleep patterns.
I know this video is old, but I wanted to thank you for expressing how important it is that it is what is right for you and how you feel. I had a nurse tell me wt least I wasn't obese now after losing a few pounds, and I had to tell her I had never been in the obese category for my height and build. I was a farm kid with a ton of muscle. She had no idea what weight I should be and seemer to think I needed to match her petite frame and tiny bones. If I hit 130, which is just below my ideal span, I personally feel severely under weight because my hands fit inside my hip bones, like 3 fingers deep. I am used to being the work horse with the solid frame so it feels frail and small for me. Other people look fine to me, but I feel wrong in my body. People get so wrapped up in numbers on the scale, and I feel like they forget there are more important factors than pounds and clothing sizes or that height and build matter. I gained back all I lost last summer over the winter due to health issues and a busy office life where bad diet and snacking are almost a priority. I still felt fine though because the toning in my waist let my clothes still fit comfortably. It's a mind shift for so many. I know some will complain, but please know that many know how much healthier that full picture is regarding how you and how muscle doesn't impact the number the same and how important how you feel in your body is. We appreciate the full discussion and how you look at your goals and process. It's hard to find and can sometimes make finding an extra motivation boost difficult.
I always wondered about your social media name, but at 4'10 that makes a lot of sense! Thank-you for being so mindful about how the numbers that make sense for you could make others feel 💜
I swear I HATE whoever determined what our “healthy” weight should be based on our age/height. According to these charts, I’m obese for my age/height and it’s truly heartbreaking. Mentally, I second guess my self confidence on a daily basis and frequently changing my diet and workouts just to be considered “healthy” in other people’s eyes. I never tried journaling to track my progress but I might give it a try after watching your video!
I'm 4'1" and this is really helping me! I'm very overweight (about 175), and have a plethora of medical conditions which affect my ability to digest food properly, lose weight, among other things and I also have a liver disease. I have gotten sick and tired, as a short woman, it is awful that people make fun of me for being fat and then also criticize me when I eat so little. It's like us shorties can't get a break! But I've recently been put on a special elimination diet, called the low FODMAP diet. Which means I need to keep a food diary! Right now I'm not focusing on losing weight, but I am focusing on managing my symptoms. Personally, as a fat chick, I think it's sad that our society sometimes idolizes being unhealthy (because yes, you can be fat and be healthy, but you can also be fat and not be healthy) for the sake of saving people's feelings. We should really all just focus on being our healthiest, happiest selves and mind our own business.
Im hella late. just a newbie getting ready for my 2021 fitness bujo and I saw your video. Love this idea but wanted to let you know that you don't owe us ANY explanation! sweet that you posted CDC and everything but just wanted to let you know that your subbies would (shouldn't) even have a response. Thanks you for this vid. definitely going to help me next year!
I dont see anything wrong with this video. You have set goals for yourself and if you hit a plateau the. You can switch things up or stay at that weight. We are so used to seeing people closer to 160-200+ so when someone has a goal for themselves because they are naturally smaller it looks drastic. I love the colors too, good luck on your goals.
That was very interesting and I'm so sorry you've had negative feedback. You have presented some really good ideas, and I appreciate it, as I'm sure many others will as well,
This is really cool to watch and hear. I am also about 4’10/11 and I am technically obese for that height. I’m just under 180 and I am looking into trackers and things to add to my bujo to help me in trying to be healthier. And this was the first video I found, and you’re the same height as me. So that was just kinda cool.
Such a great video! I only recently discovered the show and have binge watched it through twice already! I was disappointed to find out no follow up movie, but I keep hoping another network or Netflix, etc, might pick it up. I doubt it will ever happen, but anything is possible these days!
I too am short, 5'1 (155cm) and I'm kind of overweight, weighing in a 62kg (136lbs) at the moment.. I had a phase of overeating and gained 10kg within a few months and I'm now trying to lose it. And it REALLY annoys me, when I tell people I'm trying to lose weight and they're like "whyy???", so I tell them how much I weigh and they're like "But I weigh 65kg, are you calling me fat???" Like, don't they understand thst there's a huge height difference... they're 175cm (5'9) tall, I'm 155cm (5'1) and we weigh the same. SMH everytime.
I really like the video and information! And while it would be nice if we could all move through the world with a lot less judgement - THANK YOU all the same for providing your repeated disclaimers and reminders that you are not trying to guide anyone's determination for what is healthy for them, you have consulted with doctors and professionals to ensure your goals are healthy ones for yourself, and promoting a general awareness that good health is an important goal to work towards no matter how you choose to map the path!! Major props for being willing to put yourself out there all the same!!
My height is 5'2 and my ideal weight is 104-125. I could never. Id have no energy. Now the weight i was at my healthiest and most happiest is 170. Im currently 235 now. My goal is 170. The lowest ive been was 140 and i was so tired all of the time, sick, i looked sick. The goal is to be healthy. The BMI scale is so outdated, even my doctor told me he hasnt used it since the 90s. He told me become knowledgeable about food, drink tons of water, try to get in exercise 2-3 times a week as a start.
I just saw this video... I’m now 4’9”... I use to be be 4’ 10 1/2” & yes... I can relate to you!!! When I’m 90 lbs., I feel at my best...I have gained weight & at my heaviest (not counting) my pregnancies...114 lbs. definitely felt horrible & not healthy...I have lost weight & i am about 98-100 lbs...I would like to be 92-95 lbs...but, not sure if I will able to be that weight & stay... Yes...I think it’s horrible how we get “labeled” for our weight because we’re short...
Well, since weight varies based on your body, genes, and personal goals don't worry! I mean this is my first vid of yours, your one of the few people actually doing a fitness bullet journal vid. So thank you. Plus I think in kg anyways and im too lazy to google pounds just to see what your personal weight goals are. 😂😂😂❤
ive wanted to do a weightloss/health journal for so long but i always messed up and i didnt have clean lines or neat writing and so i just gave up, but now i've finally kept up with my diet and i really want to start one :(
That person must not know that when you are shorter, you have to weigh less to be at a healthy weight compared to someone really tall, or everyone who was 4' ft. would be extremely overweight and really tall people who are 6' ft would be really skinny, which both are an unhealthy weight for their height. My healthy weight is 150 lbs, and I am 5'4" my mom is 5' ft and her healthy weight is 120 lbs. People need to read the facts before saying mean things. Wishing you the best on your weight loss journey.
If anyone is feeling empty, lonely, depressed etc, I want you to know that Jesus loves you, and He is the Only one who can make you feel true love, happiness, joy and peace. We need to repent of our sins and turn to Him and start living for Him and He will be there with you every step of the way.
Hi i can't believe that people would comment on content, everyone is different we are all individuals and what's good for you may not be right for somebody else, your only showing people idea's for journaling your not saying you must do this or that. I don't understand why people can't see that really strange we are all responsible for our own lives only we can make decisions about how we do things. Sorry to hear that that people would criticise you, I think you channel is brilliant it's helped me to set up my first ever journal I have taken a lot of your layouts for my journal but put my own content into the layout, so thank you for all your help keep up the good work I'll be following you all the time now. 🙏👌🕉☯️☮🙏
I like this spread I’m 5ft so the online weights are low for me too lol but I don’t wanna be 120lbs when was that small it made my head look big 🤣 my goal is 150lbs but we’ll see when I get there like you said it’s more about how I feel when anyone post about their opinions on health and fitness some people just respond negatively I wouldnt stress my self about loved these spreads btw
You short girls seriously make me jealous. You guys can find clothes to fit...for the most part. All my pants are high waters lol. As far as weight my ideal weight is 190 at 5"11- I'm 6ft on a good day I'm currently sitting on 245 so I have a lot of work to do myself. Good luck on your goals
I love the spreads! I am preparing my post delivery recovery journal now and this inspires me to get healthy and lose weight post baby. Shame to the lady who could not be happy for you wanting to be healthy. Sounds like a body positive “trigger.” 😕
I love this video! Thank you for sharing some weight loss spreads! I have incorporated some in my new bujo. Sorry someone felt the need to put you down. You’ve clearly said you aren’t an expert, they didn’t listen or pay attention obvi! Everyone knows what’s best for themselves! I personally don’t go by charts, I go by how I feel and my doc’s recommendations. Technically I’m considered obese, but if you saw me you’d laugh. I run, road cycle, mountain bike, swim, kayak, and CrossFit. I’m far from obese. You’ve gained a new subscriber! ❤️
I'm sorry but if someone thinks that you are displaying bad behavior they need to check their thinking. You are displaying how you log your fitness. You can't help how tall you are and your body will only hold so much weight to be at a healthy weight just like a tall person. Are they crazy or just jealous? I know, my daughter is 4'9" and she is extremely overweight due to an experimental medication that saved her life as a child. Now as an adult she is fighting really hard to work it off. Not easy because it has to do with her hormones but she tries all the time. I see people doing worse things by overusing the Apple Watches and trying to do a million steps a day and outdo their friends and family members. Stop with the negativity and just embrace the idea that someone was trying to show you how to do something to have a healthier lifestyle not just to lose weight. Try being responsible for our personal care that we forget about each day. We run a a mile a minute doing nothing because we want everything in a minute just like a microwave with no patients. Slow down and do something good for yourself and track that progress, just like she did. You go girlie. I like your log.

The thing that brought me here is I started bullet journaling and am looking for inspiration on fitness pages with my own goals in mind! Thank you for the wonderful ideas.
My mom is 4’11! Don’t worry, you are the only person that knows what is best for YOUR health
I’m 4’9 and I can relate to everything you’re saying my weight has fluctuated from 85-130 basically because of the bs that people say I’m currently at 110 and going to the gym (where the comments begin) I no longer care about my weight I’m only looking to feel better and look better. Do you girl there will always be someone with something to say!
I was looking for a good layout for healthy eating & exercise and I think you have done a great job. I was sad to hear you worrying about what people thought about your video. As soon as you said your height, I knew there would be no comparison between us and I assume that the vast majority of people are capable of that thought too. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this.
I'm glad you shared about your health and fitness trackers. It is such a touchy subject, and I can understand your nervousness to put it out there. I'm tracking some exercise habits for the first time this month in my bullet journal. I'm working toward small monthly goals rather than bigger goals. Then I'll evaluate at the end of the month and decide on the next month's goals.
Glad I found this. I've been looking for bullet journal ideas to track my weight and measurements. I've been home since March making due with our zoom fitness classes with our coach and just want to keep a better eye on things. Living in pajamas and leggings any progress whether a + or - becomes harder to see.
I love how you set all this up. Thank you so much. I know that as a grown up, everyone's journey is different, thank you for sharing yours to inspire mine. Continued Success
I can relate to you so much. I am also short, a couple inches taller than you, and my ideal weight is 97, which for my petite build and size looks fine and not too thin. People see a number and freak out. I started at 110 and am trying to reach 100 and I love your journal ideas. I'm creating my very 1st bullet journal and found this to be very helpful. Thank you!
I really like your spread. I was even inspired to create this for myself.
I just love how perfect ur letters on ur title just pop! I'll have to keep practicing. Im constantly on some diet but i think i need to add the measurements..and prob a food sensitivity. I went vegan plant based.. and sure enough..dairy doesn't like me..lol. i learned to minimize meat.. i feel ur kind of bullet journal will help me track my progress. I really want results. Im native and I've been told not to eat processed foods.. 🥺 thank you 😊!!! Thank u for sharing!!!
A great video! I, too, am sorry that you were criticized. You ARE very transparent and everything i've watched of yours has been presented with the preface of being personal opinion/personal preference. After all, journaling is personal. I am very grateful that you open up to us and share yourself as you share your techniques.
As for your techniques presented here....Oh, my! I'm a fan of ombres! Granted, I don't have a lot of videos under my belt, but this is the first time I've ever seen anyone strive for and get an ombre effect. I also like your writing over your writing in the titles. I'm sure it has an official name, but I don't know it. Thanks again for sharing your talents!
Thank you for being so transparent and also sharing how petite you are - I thought I was 'short' at 5'3", and had no idea you are under 5'. Growing up, I was always ~10lbs heavier than my friends who were the same height, but wore the same size clothes. My point - weight does not define ANY woman. ❤️
These are great! I'm going to incorporate the weight and measurement tracker as well as the weight loss reward tracker. Alongside these I'll do my exercise tracker, a period/ovulation tracker, and daily mood tracker so I can observe any correlations.
I know this is an older video, but as a new viewer, I just wanted to say that I hope you’ve been working toward and/or have already met your health goals. I also want to encourage you in that you do not have to apologize for trying to be healthier and/or setting personal weight loss goals. If others choose to be offended by the idea that a person can actually want to weigh less for health reasons, that is their load to bear - NOT yours. Best wishes from a 4’ 9-1/2” gal who gets it ;-)
I’m glad you shared! I’ve been looking for something to inspire to continue to lose weight and get healthier...and record the journey in my bujo. I hope no one has been negative about the weights you listed. Our bodies are all unique.
I feel this! I'm 4'11 so i know all about the BMI calculator for our height lol
I’m also 4’11”. Def overweight for my height
thankyou for sharing i cant wait to adapt and change what you do to match my needs this is exactly what i have been looking for.
I think it was a little rude of that lady to say you were promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. At no point, have you even alluded to implying anyone should do what you're doing, nor have you shown that there is anything wrong with what you are doing. Ignore people who try to bring you down. You're helping people who want to make a chart. Nothing more, nothing less. This is YOUR life, not hers. You're not promoting anything even remotely unhealthy. It's ridiculous that that person would imply, let alone outright say you are doing anything unhealthy. You're simply tracking changes to your body.
As someone who came out of the hospital a month ago (exactly, actually) with a diagnosis that I only caught before it killed me BECAUSE I was as in tune with my body as I am, I am really annoyed that this person tried to imply it was a bad thing to track your health in this way. I got a Bullet Journal for the purpose of doing EXACTLY that! Tracking health, weight, and exercise trends is not unhealthy. Obsessing over it is. Giving yourself goals to hit in a weightloss program you've previously run past your doctor is NOT unhealthy. Giving yourself arbitrary goals because you saw someone else do it, is. Rewarding yourself for hitting said goals is NOT unhealthy. Rewarding yourself just for losing weight, no matter how, nor how much, is.
Understanding your body, your limits, and talking to your doctor about the best plan for your specific body and lifestyle, is the absolute best thing you can do, and you have done nothing but promote that.
So don't let people make you feel like you have done anything wrong. You haven't. If anything, you've raised awareness about eating disorders, and possibly prevented some by reinforcing the importance of speaking with one's doctor about weightloss, body size, and over all nutritional health, before doing anything weightloss related. You are awesome.
(Sorry for the rant, it just made me so mad that that person put you down like that. I know you said that they said what they said respectfully, before leaving, but it was wholly unnecessary for anything to have been said at all. It's so evident that this is your journey, no one else's. So it is ridiculous for anyone to think you're promoting anything, for anyone, other than yourself. That person was a bully.)
As a woman of 5' 2", thank you. I was 95lbs in high school. I was active all the time with marching band and ate well. People always wonder how I could eat as much as I did and be so skinny. Like you said health is all personal, when I was pregnant with my son one of the only things I could keep down was a Slim Fast. And people would tell at me that I was pregnant and needed to put on weight and should be drinking this other breakfast shake instead. I tried the other one and it make me sicker. I took the time to compare the labels; guess what the same thing as far as nutrients! One was just marked for fast loss and the other as a quick breakfast solution. People need to get their heads out of their buys and other people's lives and worry about if they are living their best life. Not if we are living our best lives.
Just coming across this video now. I'm 4'10" as well and I'm tired of physicians telling me I'm overweight based on my BMI when I know I'm not. I know I could lose a few pounds, but my goal is definitely not
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a bullet journal mainly for habits for meal prepping/ working out and completing task
You made it perfectly clear that it is for you and everyone should check with professionals before doing a set up for themselves. In regard to eating disorders ...I do have an ED and most of this layout FOR ME PERSONALLY would trigger my ED. I'm NOT saying it is a bad layout because it isn't for some people just not entirely for me. What I can definitely use from the video is the monthly tracker. I'd like a bit more explanation of what you track there besides sleep patterns.
I always love your lettering... I think it’s great that you are tracking and taking care of yourself for your body type... great job!
I know this video is old, but I wanted to thank you for expressing how important it is that it is what is right for you and how you feel. I had a nurse tell me wt least I wasn't obese now after losing a few pounds, and I had to tell her I had never been in the obese category for my height and build. I was a farm kid with a ton of muscle. She had no idea what weight I should be and seemer to think I needed to match her petite frame and tiny bones. If I hit 130, which is just below my ideal span, I personally feel severely under weight because my hands fit inside my hip bones, like 3 fingers deep. I am used to being the work horse with the solid frame so it feels frail and small for me. Other people look fine to me, but I feel wrong in my body. People get so wrapped up in numbers on the scale, and I feel like they forget there are more important factors than pounds and clothing sizes or that height and build matter.
I gained back all I lost last summer over the winter due to health issues and a busy office life where bad diet and snacking are almost a priority. I still felt fine though because the toning in my waist let my clothes still fit comfortably. It's a mind shift for so many. I know some will complain, but please know that many know how much healthier that full picture is regarding how you and how muscle doesn't impact the number the same and how important how you feel in your body is. We appreciate the full discussion and how you look at your goals and process. It's hard to find and can sometimes make finding an extra motivation boost difficult.
I always wondered about your social media name, but at 4'10 that makes a lot of sense! Thank-you for being so mindful about how the numbers that make sense for you could make others feel 💜
I swear I HATE whoever determined what our “healthy” weight should be based on our age/height. According to these charts, I’m obese for my age/height and it’s truly heartbreaking. Mentally, I second guess my self confidence on a daily basis and frequently changing my diet and workouts just to be considered “healthy” in other people’s eyes.
I never tried journaling to track my progress but I might give it a try after watching your video!
I'm 4'1" and this is really helping me! I'm very overweight (about 175), and have a plethora of medical conditions which affect my ability to digest food properly, lose weight, among other things and I also have a liver disease. I have gotten sick and tired, as a short woman, it is awful that people make fun of me for being fat and then also criticize me when I eat so little. It's like us shorties can't get a break! But I've recently been put on a special elimination diet, called the low FODMAP diet. Which means I need to keep a food diary! Right now I'm not focusing on losing weight, but I am focusing on managing my symptoms. Personally, as a fat chick, I think it's sad that our society sometimes idolizes being unhealthy (because yes, you can be fat and be healthy, but you can also be fat and not be healthy) for the sake of saving people's feelings. We should really all just focus on being our healthiest, happiest selves and mind our own business.
Im hella late. just a newbie getting ready for my 2021 fitness bujo and I saw your video. Love this idea but wanted to let you know that you don't owe us ANY explanation! sweet that you posted CDC and everything but just wanted to let you know that your subbies would (shouldn't) even have a response. Thanks you for this vid. definitely going to help me next year!
I dont see anything wrong with this video. You have set goals for yourself and if you hit a plateau the. You can switch things up or stay at that weight.
We are so used to seeing people closer to 160-200+ so when someone has a goal for themselves because they are naturally smaller it looks drastic.
I love the colors too, good luck on your goals.
That was very interesting and I'm so sorry you've had negative feedback. You have presented some really good ideas, and I appreciate it, as I'm sure many others will as well,
This is really cool to watch and hear. I am also about 4’10/11 and I am technically obese for that height. I’m just under 180 and I am looking into trackers and things to add to my bujo to help me in trying to be healthier. And this was the first video I found, and you’re the same height as me. So that was just kinda cool.
Such a great video! I only recently discovered the show and have binge watched it through twice already! I was disappointed to find out no follow up movie, but I keep hoping another network or Netflix, etc, might pick it up. I doubt it will ever happen, but anything is possible these days!
I too am short, 5'1 (155cm) and I'm kind of overweight, weighing in a 62kg (136lbs) at the moment.. I had a phase of overeating and gained 10kg within a few months and I'm now trying to lose it.
And it REALLY annoys me, when I tell people I'm trying to lose weight and they're like "whyy???", so I tell them how much I weigh and they're like "But I weigh 65kg, are you calling me fat???" Like, don't they understand thst there's a huge height difference... they're 175cm (5'9) tall, I'm 155cm (5'1) and we weigh the same. SMH everytime.
I really like the video and information! And while it would be nice if we could all move through the world with a lot less judgement - THANK YOU all the same for providing your repeated disclaimers and reminders that you are not trying to guide anyone's determination for what is healthy for them, you have consulted with doctors and professionals to ensure your goals are healthy ones for yourself, and promoting a general awareness that good health is an important goal to work towards no matter how you choose to map the path!! Major props for being willing to put yourself out there all the same!!
I'm 4 foot 8 so I know your problem! I'm currently 11stone but in order for me to be "healthy and ideal" is about 6 stone
what is the measurement with squares you made with the measurements tracker? i want to use it for my fitness program once a month
Tugger Jaegger Each column is 4 boxes wide
My height is 5'2 and my ideal weight is 104-125. I could never. Id have no energy. Now the weight i was at my healthiest and most happiest is 170. Im currently 235 now. My goal is 170. The lowest ive been was 140 and i was so tired all of the time, sick, i looked sick. The goal is to be healthy. The BMI scale is so outdated, even my doctor told me he hasnt used it since the 90s. He told me become knowledgeable about food, drink tons of water, try to get in exercise 2-3 times a week as a start.
This is a really beautiful set of spreads. Thank you for sharing.
I am sorry that person was so rude.
I just saw this video...
I’m now 4’9”...
I use to be be 4’ 10 1/2” & yes...
I can relate to you!!!
When I’m 90 lbs., I feel at my best...I have gained weight & at my heaviest (not counting) my pregnancies...114 lbs. definitely felt horrible & not healthy...I have lost weight & i am about 98-100 lbs...I would like to be 92-95 lbs...but, not sure if I will able to be that weight & stay...
Yes...I think it’s horrible how we get “labeled” for our weight because we’re short...
Thank you so much for sharing I really appreciate it..
Well, since weight varies based on your body, genes, and personal goals don't worry!
I mean this is my first vid of yours, your one of the few people actually doing a fitness bullet journal vid. So thank you.
Plus I think in kg anyways and im too lazy to google pounds just to see what your personal weight goals are. 😂😂😂❤
ive wanted to do a weightloss/health journal for so long but i always messed up and i didnt have clean lines or neat writing and so i just gave up, but now i've finally kept up with my diet and i really want to start one :(
I love the countdown idea!
Thank you for the great ideas!
I'm 4'10 too and ive heard it between 90-110 lbs. I'm a stick personally at 120 ish because of the muscle in my legs
That person must not know that when you are shorter, you have to weigh less to be at a healthy weight compared to someone really tall, or everyone who was 4' ft. would be extremely overweight and really tall people who are 6' ft would be really skinny, which both are an unhealthy weight for their height. My healthy weight is 150 lbs, and I am 5'4" my mom is 5' ft and her healthy weight is 120 lbs. People need to read the facts before saying mean things. Wishing you the best on your weight loss journey.
my mom's healthy weight might be between 110-120 lbs, might not be actually accurate about her weight
thank you for being so real. :)
Love the video. Very handy trackers! These go perfectly with my sports trackers!
If anyone is feeling empty, lonely, depressed etc, I want you to know that Jesus loves you, and He is the Only one who can make you feel true love, happiness, joy and peace. We need to repent of our sins and turn to Him and start living for Him and He will be there with you every step of the way.
Hi i can't believe that people would comment on content, everyone is different we are all individuals and what's good for you may not be right for somebody else, your only showing people idea's for journaling your not saying you must do this or that. I don't understand why people can't see that really strange we are all responsible for our own lives only we can make decisions about how we do things. Sorry to hear that that people would criticise you, I think you channel is brilliant it's helped me to set up my first ever journal I have taken a lot of your layouts for my journal but put my own content into the layout, so thank you for all your help keep up the good work I'll be following you all the time now. 🙏👌🕉☯️☮🙏
I like this spread I’m 5ft so the online weights are low for me too lol but I don’t wanna be 120lbs when was that small it made my head look big 🤣 my goal is 150lbs but we’ll see when I get there like you said it’s more about how I feel when anyone post about their opinions on health and fitness some people just respond negatively I wouldnt stress my self about loved these spreads btw
hey do you know the best journals for nutrition and exercise science?
Love this video 🤘😘
i love that your start weight is my goal weight!!! haha
is there more than one person running this vlog? I just came across this and have looked at newer videos and it is a different person?
As of December 2019, The Petite Planner is under new ownership!
@@ThePetitePlanner thanks! Are there any more health and fitness videos coming?
I like this sit up
You are the same height as my aunt. I’m 5’2”, I feel like a giant next to her and I’m not exactly tall. 😃
wow, that's a great video!
You short girls seriously make me jealous. You guys can find clothes to fit...for the most part. All my pants are high waters lol. As far as weight my ideal weight is 190 at 5"11- I'm 6ft on a good day I'm currently sitting on 245 so I have a lot of work to do myself. Good luck on your goals
Lucinda Lincoln yeah clothes in the kids section 🙄
I love the spreads! I am preparing my post delivery recovery journal now and this inspires me to get healthy and lose weight post baby. Shame to the lady who could not be happy for you wanting to be healthy. Sounds like a body positive “trigger.” 😕
Ok I just went to another video of yours and im so confused why your voice sounds so different in this video?
As of December 2019, The Petite Planner is under new ownership!
you are literally an inch taller than me!
i'm 4'10 and i weigh 76.5 pounds. and im only in 6th grade
You'll be criticized no matter what you do! This was really helpful for me and I'm sure plenty of others :)
I love this video! Thank you for sharing some weight loss spreads! I have incorporated some in my new bujo. Sorry someone felt the need to put you down. You’ve clearly said you aren’t an expert, they didn’t listen or pay attention obvi! Everyone knows what’s best for themselves! I personally don’t go by charts, I go by how I feel and my doc’s recommendations. Technically I’m considered obese, but if you saw me you’d laugh. I run, road cycle, mountain bike, swim, kayak, and CrossFit. I’m far from obese. You’ve gained a new subscriber! ❤️
I'm 4'10"
I'm 5.2 my BF is 5 feet. She is tiny compared to me lol I get it.
I'm sorry but if someone thinks that you are displaying bad behavior they need to check their thinking. You are displaying how you log your fitness. You can't help how tall you are and your body will only hold so much weight to be at a healthy weight just like a tall person. Are they crazy or just jealous? I know, my daughter is 4'9" and she is extremely overweight due to an experimental medication that saved her life as a child. Now as an adult she is fighting really hard to work it off. Not easy because it has to do with her hormones but she tries all the time. I see people doing worse things by overusing the Apple Watches and trying to do a million steps a day and outdo their friends and family members. Stop with the negativity and just embrace the idea that someone was trying to show you how to do something to have a healthier lifestyle not just to lose weight. Try being responsible for our personal care that we forget about each day. We run a a mile a minute doing nothing because we want everything in a minute just like a microwave with no patients. Slow down and do something good for yourself and track that progress, just like she did. You go girlie. I like your log.
