I'm 5ft with socks on.

I'm currently 118, but I feel great around 113, so I'm trying to lose 5 pounds. It's hard because I love eating yummy food!

I know it sounds ridiculous, people raise their eyebrows or don't take me seriously, but 5 pounds on a short person really makes a difference!

I'm 4'11", and when I started my journey I was close to 150. Calorie counting and the discovery of amazing hiking trails close to me brought me to 118, and it took me 6-8 months to get there. I now have a very sedentary desk job, and we have been going through fertility treatments, and I somehow allowed myself to get up to 135! I've started dialing in again recently, and I've been bouncing between 127 and 130 all month, but I'm committed to be down to 123 by the end of March. It's almost hiking season, and I want to tackle some intense hikes this summer, something that I won't be able to do unless I drop some of this extra poundage! We are taking a break on the fertility stuff, and I hope to get myself to a happy 112 by the end of the summer.

I'm 4'10.5" I'm currently floating around 140. And, I've discovered I'm shrinking. Only not in the way I want to.. Between the birth of my 5th child, and my prerequisites for nursing school, it's been tough, and I've seen the weight pile on since Christmas. So, I'm back to (truthfully) logging my calories. And trying to exercise. The lowest I've been in my adult life was 120. And I don't think my husband has seen that since we met. Currently, I'd like to get to there, ultimately I think 110-115, but I will have to see the closet I get. Definitely could use the motivation/accountability though!

I'm somewhere around 5'. Spent most of my life a muscled 95 lb (very, very small frame and no boobs). After 40, got up to 111 and I couldn't take it any more. I was so uncomfortable. There were rolls when I bent over! Started MFP a little over a year ago, started eating healthier and got back into lifting. Dropped back down to 97lbs, maintained there for a while, then stopped logging and gradually went back up to 104. I've been hanging out there for about 6 months without logging. I'm not as lean as I like, but I'm enjoying eating what I want while still working out hard. Profile pics are right after I got DXA/BodPod testing done. 101 & 15% BF.

5ft mum of 5
123lbs at the moment, would like to lose another 7-10 lbs. Know how hard it is when you are this height, every pound gained shows!!

That is me at around 115-117lbs a couple years ago. Dress size 4/ S-M

This is me now between 96-100lbs. Dress size 0-2/ XS. Apparently I have bones!!! (also rocking the blonde). I'm exactly 5ft tall. I will say I looked and felt my best maintaining 95-97Lbs and running 3x per week. I'm about 100lbs right now and it's TRUE!! 5lbs is so clear on a short person!! Time to start running again haha

Hi everyone! Fellow shortie here 5'1".

Before 2013 I never really worked out consistently and my eating was atrocious. My diet has evolved over the years through trial and error and think I have finally found my "thing". I eat HFLC. It's not for everyone but clicks with me.

As far as exercise: Currently, I do free weights with SL 5x5 and a little cardio mixed in (very little). I began with mostly cardio when I started my journey years ago and only began implementing heavy lifting faithfully in March 2016. The changes to my body have been more than I ever thought possible!

The below picture is around 195lbs in 2013:


The below are from today 134lbs:




You can do it and it is so worth it! I applaud you for taking the first step!

I'm 4'11 and right now 150 but I totally know what you mean! I was always thin and if I got to 105 I felt huge. I can't believe how big I've let myself get. :O

I would love to have some shorty friends so feel free to friend me if you'd like. I've sent requests already to a few of you.

Hi, I have a friend who is 4'11" and is trying to lose, shes in the 190's, can any of you guys tell me what you dropped in the first month you started counting calories, at the moment there's not much intentional exercise because of a foot injury......thanks

I'm 5 feet flat with a SW of 165, CW of 137, and GW of 120 (massive boobs and bone structure probably won't let me go lower). I did boot camp religiously for a year (4 times a week) but switched to a more varied routine a few months ago with what I think are positive results! I did paleo without counting calories for a while, but now I try to stay around 1300.

You and I have literally the same body. I'm starting out at 158, with a "first" goal of 135, and a second goal of 120. I see a lot of people who are aiming for that 100 - 110 lbs. I haven't been 110 lbs since I was 12...

The lowest I've ever been in my adult life was 120lbs about 6 years ago. I felt pretty good there. But, I'm currently trying to cut down my body fat % so that I can start gaining muscle this coming fall. So I'm not sure how low I'm going to go...
