    I'm 5'0" and I agree... It sucks being short because even 5 lbs makes a huge difference. We require so few calories because we don't metabolize as many calories as someone taller than us. It's definitely hard.

    I'm 5'2, so just a little bit taller than you, and I agree, the more I weigh, the shorter I look, especially on pictures.

    I'm 5'1 I think I still qualify, well yes, I find it that if I gain fat I look like 1000 million times rounder since I'm short, I'm at 130 lbs now but it's not so much fat so I guess it's ok.

    Im 5'1" and at 120 and I think the thing that was eye opening for me is how the weight sits on me (no where for it to go)--my arms and legs look crazy bulky right now! Trying to get down to 110.
