    5'4 over here (pretty much everyone I know is taller than me so I consider myself short)

    Was 175 (12st 7), now 160.25 (11st 6 1/4), shooting for 112-120 (8st - 8st 8) but for now I'll be happy just to get back into healthy weight range at 147 (10st 7)

    Hi there!
    I'm 5'2", 41 year old mom

    Just starting my journey…. again.
    SW 134
    CW 132
    GW 120 (we'll see)

    Can't seem to get under 130. Would love some supportive friends. I've tried losing weight before but give up easily. I tend to do better when I have support and the occasional 'good job'. Feel free to add me!!

    Oh and if anyone with my stats can share their daily calories I would appreciate it. I am not active (injured) and still confused about calories I should be consuming. I've heard its tough for us shorties and we should set our weight loss differently(?)

    You're Tall. :) I'm 4 10

    Its darn hard being so short and not getting enough calories.

    I keep my diary open. I also struggle on correct 'amounts'.

    Hi!

    I'm 5'2"

    SW: 195

    GW: 128-ish. Pretty much going with how I feel/look/toned at that point. I remember being pretty happy with myself at 150-ish, so I know any lower than that is all bonus. :)

    Hello everyone! I'm looking to go down to my regular range so 125-135 lbs. I've become more aware about food desserts and having access to my favorite sports, Wushu, and grocery stores. I started at 185 lbs. I'm 5'0 currently weighing 163.

    Hi ladies. I'm 5'1".

    SW-132
    CW-120.4
    GW-110

    My GW is negotiable. I am currently strength training 3 x weekly. If I get the body that I want I don't care what my weight is. Good luck to everyone on reaching their goals.

    Hi! This is my first post on these boards, and I am new to MFP. (I "joined" a while ago because a friend wanted me to, but I've only started using it this week.) My stats:

    Height: 5 and feet and one half an inch
    SW: 129
    CW: 121
    GW: 110 or lower (110 is fine if I have success building muscle)

    I'm more concerned with BMI than an actual GW. I've struggled with my weight on and off for years. I and 36 and have 4 kids. After my first child was born, I got back down to 110. And after my last pregnancy, I made it as low as 113. My youngest child is now 4, and after making it down to 113, I gained almost 20 pounds, AFTER losing all that "baby weight." (So frustrating!) I went through a stressful time, and put on the weight despite exercising regularly. So, I had to conclude my diet was a big part of the problem. Since I started logging my food nearly 3 weeks ago (first in a diary, and now on MFP) I've lost 8 pounds.

    BUT (and this is a big BUT) I also struggle with daily calorie intake, portion size and all the rest due to my size. I read things that say stuff like, "Never go below 1200 calories a day!" and I *immediately* think, yeah, but what about ME--a person MY size?? I think being tiny really does make it a bit harder to regulate everything. I'm happy to meet other "shorties!"

    I was wondering about calorie intake as well. I'm eating on average 1200-1500 plus working out, but I'm only losing about a pound a week. I'm trying to lose 2 a week, so I wasn't sure how that worked. My UGW is about 110 now, factoring in frame size.

    Hi! I'm 5'1.
    My sw was 198. My cw is 191.2. My gw is 130 because that was how much I weighed in high school but I'm guessing once I get close to that I'll have a better idea of what would actually be my gw.
    Anyone can feel free to add me!
