    I always thought I was 5 ft 2/5 inches but was measured at my gym recently and found I was 5 ft 2 inches. Back on the wagon now and starting totally afresh. I am looking for positive minded folk to have around so please feel free to add me and I'll be part of your winning team ☺. I'm from Brentwood in the UK.

    Count me in! I'm 5'2" and was always happy to be petite until I added more pounds after each kiddo. Lost 14 1bs so far, with goal to burn off a pound a week until I've reached a healthier-fighting size

    Hey guys and girls,

    I was just wondering if there's any other shorties out there as I know we can't carry extra weight as well as tall people! And I don't know about you but I always feel like when I put on even a couple of Ibs it really shows much more than if my tall friends put on a bit of weight?!

    I'm only 5 ft 2 (and a half haha) myself so get adding everyone and talk to each other? :)

    I'm 5ft 7 and wish I was shorter! People tell me I carry my weight well but when you're taller you have the added stress of not just being larger but being taller as well so end up feeling like a monster! Just huge in general. So it's not all a party lol embrace your daintiness!

    I'm 5'3 and definitely wish I was taller. I'd have less weight to lose & all my pants wouldn't be too long :p

    I' m 5'2 and 1/2" as well! People tell me I carry my weight well, but it surely doesn't feel like it. I have 40lbs to lose. Add me if you would like. I could use some friends and motivation!

    5'2 here. I am currently 205 and a goal weight of about 125. I'm pretty muscular already and going to the gym is making me more so. I love motivating people and being motivated. Good Luck to everyone and anyone can feel free to add me.

    A wonderful reminder about self love! We do tend to want what we don't have. For me it is long legs. :) Thank you.

    I'm 5'0"!! I only weigh 97 lbs but due to my short stature and being cursed with scoliosis (ugh) I tend to look heavier than I am. When I saw the "shorties unite!" I was like oh heck yea!

    I'm 5'3" on a good day. So far I have lost 10lb and people can definitely see the difference! My goal weight is 120lb, so I still got another 25lb to lose. At my lightest I was barely over 100lb, and the heaviest was a ooping 165lb. I felt self conscious at both weight.

    I love that there are so many of us 5'2.5" ladies! That .5" is quite important!
