    How much weight have you lost? Way to go! How are you going to reward yourself when you reach your goal?

    I'm 5'1' and have lost a "person" - down 103 lbs. Still at it. Been working at it for a year and 8 months. Slow process for me, but...
    MFP has been a wonderful tool for me. Also, started Couch to 5K last June and have progressed from there. Plan is to run a 1/2 Marathon in January.

    I'm not a short girl but I know you can do it. The amount of weight you want to lose is irrelevant as long as you take it day-by-day and concentrate on the "immediate rewards" of dieting. Your life will become better way before you reach your long term weight goal. You can do it and the rewards start right now!

    Good luck!

    Hey ladies!

    I'm 5'2 and 123. This is definitely to heavy on my frame. I'm aiming to get back to 110, the weight I look good at. Please add me, I need motivation! Damn it sucks being short, no eating like real people!

    Hi girls! I'm 5' even and somewhere around 215- I've been here off and on for a few years now with 0 success. I actually GAINED overall. I registered for a seminar on bariatric surgery earlier today, I am sick of this! I eat right, I'm active, I don't have a thyroid problem (but I do have PCOS) and it's impossible to lose anything.

    All that said, it's pretty weird to be short and overweight-my friends and coworkers don't realize I'm a small person until I'm standing right next to them. Dating is even worse!

    Anyway just wanted to say hi and good luck. Feel free to add me, I'm not normally doom n' gloom!

    Hi all! I am 5'2" and this is day 30 for me on MFP. I started in weighing over 220lbs and now weigh 213 lbs as of last week. I love adding new friends. I am on here every day and usually through the day. I am 34 years old, a mother of 2, and married to a wonderful supportive husband who has also joined MFP. I would love to lose over 50 lbs. Feel free to add me!

    Hi. I am 4'9' and weighing in at 130. I want to lose enough weight so that when I walk into my Doctor's office for my yearly physical I don't hear the word "obese" along with my name/chart.

    Hi everyone. I am 5'1 and have lost 20 lbs since January. Hope to lose another 20 by the end of the year. I lose weight slowwwly and it is hard to stay motivated sometimes. Must admit I need encouragement and like to cheer others on. Don't you think the before and after pictures are so amazing. This is a great website!

    I'm 5'2". After 3 kids, my body has gone to horrible places. I'm hoping MFP can help. It's been 9 days... nothing so far, but it's ok. It's still early. I know 115 is really thin, but that was a normal weight for me. I have 9 lbs to go....1 1/2yrs hard muay thai training and alot of changes through that, but i think tracking my food will help me with my overall health.
