Short girls!

mikr0lo

Hello everyone! I'm glad to be back on MFP after slacking for a few years.

I'm a 31 yo female, 5'3". My starting weight was 160 and my initial goal is 135. As my fellow short ladies know, 1 pound on our bodies looks a lot different than it does on tall people! I'm looking to be pals with other ladies who have similar stats to motivate and inspire each other.

I'd love to hear your stories and share in celebrating your progress!

I am shorty too! 35 and 5'3 I'm around 189 so yes all this added weight!!!

On the plus side shorter athletes have an awesome mechanical advantage when it comes to lifting!

Hi I am 5"1 weighing in at 129, aiming to lose 10lbs. You're so right about us not carrying weight very well, I have a very petite frame so really can't afford all this body fat

5 foot here! I've went from 138 in the beginning of May to 121 currently with a goal of 115. Feel free to add me!

PetitClapotis

I'm 5'1" and naturally have a petite frame. I have a slower metabolism and am prone to be skinny fat due to years of "binging-restricting " cycle. My upper body looks normal but my thighs, butt and lower abs are disaster

MommaDeQuatre

I guess I'm on the cusp being 5'4" but after 4 kids and having no torso 150 is rather bulky looking

NewYorkSubway

Hi everyone, I'm 5'2" and about 160lbs as well (I'm from New Zealand so am not very used to imperial measurements!). Hoping to lose 10kg (about 22 pounds?) to start with and then start working on building muscle. Trying not to focus on the scale, but rather how my body is changing in shape!

Panda8ach

Hey I'm 5ft 2" and my starting weight was 145lbs. I am down to 130.5lbs (+/- the same pound at the moment! ). My goal weight is 117lbs. Good luck to you all

NelliR86

Hello fellow short people!! I'm 30 and I'm 4'10 looking to lose 20 pounds. I don't like that extra weight shows so much but it's motivation for me to lose it. Feel free to add me I like meeting new people!

janinatab96

5'2" and needing to lose 30 - Have no idea how to add friends... but would love motivation and ideas from others! Please add me!

bmorte

A real shortie here at 4'9" and I am 59 y/o. Starting weight 168 and ultimate goal is 115, but intermediate goal is 130. I was doing boot camp but totally blew out my shoulder and so I am in rehab and have to look toward cardio and diet for weight loss. Working the MFP diet but have adjusted my percentages toward a lower carb intake. Also, I have Cushing's Disease which caused me to have a tumor and most of my pituitary removed. I basically have no metabolism! Add this shortie, please!

sexyjlee

I'm 5'2 and went from 158 to 2011 in 2 years. I went back to school, work FT, have two little boys, and run my household since hubby travels a lot for work. The stress of juggling my schedule took a toll on me and I went straight to the comfortable and soothing feeling of delicious and fatty foods. Now I am retraining myself to lead a healthier lifestyle! Rock on ladies...we can do this!! Feel free to add me and send me updates of your progress. I'm rooting for you!
