    I'm 5'3½", which I don't consider all that short since 5'5" is average female height, but I fit your criteria!

    I was about 125 in college. I got up to at 235 as my heaviest. Lost 85 lbs in 2011 (using MFP) but gained it all back in subsequent years due to bad choices. I got back up to 235 in 2014, lost a few, down to 212 last year.

    So, starting weight, officially, is 212. That was 45 days ago, on November 27th, 2016. It was my 32nd birthday. I'm on a 100-day "challenge" to keep myself on track. I track my food and exercise daily but my weight once a week.

    I'm down to 197.

    I started a 4-day water-only fast this morning. I do short fasts intermittently, usually only one day, but I've done up to 5. I do them 2-3x/year.

    My goal weight is 125-135 range.

    Feel free to add me. Most people I've added have abandoned ship. New friends welcome! ;)

    I was also 125 in college. 2 kids later and I blew up! Congrats on your weight loss and also for sticking to it! It can definitely get discouraging at times but I'm hoping to just be able to put that to the side and achieve my goal. I am also 5'3 but all of my friends are tall so I'm considered shortie. What is the water only fast? That sounds like something I would like to do!

    The doctor says I'm 5'4" but I've always said I was 5'5". It depends which way you round that last half inch. I've lost over 50lb since May by choosing to eat A or B rather than A and B with C for dessert. I hit my first target before Christmas and now I plan to spend 2017 drifting down to a dress size that I can easily buy clothes for. I am really liking being able to run upstairs and having no pain in my knees at night and I'm not missing the 7" off my hips at all (apart from when my underwear falls down).

    Wow! That's amazing! I need to get on the A or B train! It's like if it's there I eat it. I need to learn self control as well as portion control! Congrats on your loss and much more success as you continue your weight loss journey!

    I'm 5'3'' and I'm already at my goal weight of 121 lbs. It's taken me four months to lose 4 pounds. When you're short and don't have much to lose it definitely takes a lot longer, even when you put in the same amount of effort as the person next to you.

    My maintenance cals are 1570 and the hardest thing about it isn't when I make my own food - then it's easy to stay at my goal - but when I want to go out. I definitely have to exercise more those days to stay within my allotment (or just accept that I'm going to go over and tomorrow is another day).

    Wow! Congrats for getting to your goal wait! That takes a lot of hard work and commitment. Very inspiring! I always feel like my diet is ruined when I mess up so i kind of give up. I need to do exactly what you just said either work out more or accept going over and realize that tomorrow is another day. Great advice!

    Hi I'm 5'3" , On my fitness journey I have lost 33lbs, going from 144lbs to 110lbs. At 110lbs I was slim but 'skinny fat'. I wanted to add more tone and shape to my physique so decided to focus more on lifting weights and paying attention to not only my calories but my protein, carbs & fat intake. I am now 119lbs and look the best I have looked so far (especially after having 5 children), still petite but more curves in the right places. I am passionate about training, it's become a way of life and have picked up some knowledge along the way & I understand some of the hurdles - physical, mental,& emotional lol, so add me if you like.
    Best wishes for your journey

    Wow you are definitely body goals!!!!! You look amazing! Adding you now!

    I'm 5'4 and would like to lose between 50 and 80. I'm just starting over after having a baby so I could use some friends. Most of my "before" friends have moved on or hit their goals.
