    Hi! I have recently recommitted to MFP. I would love team up with any other short gals that are new and those who are having success. Support, motivation and idea sharing. TEAM is Together Everyone Achieves More! I am almost 5'2 and weigh 179. My goal is to get to 130 which is probably more than the charts say I should weigh but I want a realistic target!

    for me at my age TEAM is Two Everlasting Animals Mating

    Me too! I am 5' 2 and 1/2" and started at 170 and have lost 2lbs this week, starting over. I hope to get to 135. I used to weigh between 125 and 130 and was happy there. So long ago I am afraid. I turned 50 and the weight just kept creeping up. I am trying this time to change my eating habits, use portion control and exercise a bit more. I would love to be apart of this post

    I'm 5'2" :)

    SW: 170
    CW: 124.6
    GW: 120ish?

    Lost 40lbs in late 2012/early 2013, gained some back at the end of 2013 and then lost that again this year. Back at the weight I was pre-kids/early 20s and hoping to maintain around here. Currently following the TDEE method for counting calories (slowly upping to maintenance right now!) and in the Alpha phase of T25!

    Hi! I am 5'1" and my CW is 165. Have lost 4.6 so far and have about 45 more to go. Will see how I look and feel then and may want to lose a little more. It feels like I have been on a diet the majority of my adult life and it always seems I take one step forward and two steps back. Have not been able to lose weight and keep it off but now at 40 I realize this is not going to get any easier. I am committed to doing this and this time around I am finding it a little easier with the support of MFP friends. Anyone feel free to add me. :smile:

    Hi I'm 5' 3/4" almost 5'1" & 34 yrs old. I've recently started putting on weight & I'm not sure why. I don't know if its the medication I've been put on or my metabolism is starting to slow or if I'm just lazy. I've never been one to work out but I've always been active. Now I'm working out but the weight isn't going anywhere. I'm in need of some movitating friends & people who can relate to just not feeling godd about the way the look and ready for a change.

    Hello! I'm 5'1"..5'2" depending on the day. :laugh: I'm currently between 196 and 198 with a short term goal of 10lbs (at a time) until I can reach my ultimate goal of between 130 and 140. Feel free to add me, I can give as much encouragement as you need, and it wouldn't hurt to get some myself :smile:

    Definitely need to jump on this thread :happy: I'm 5' on the dot and right now weighing 216 (which is my highest EVER!!) My eventual goal weight is about 120, but we'll see what feels good when I get down there. I'm not concerned with the weight number as much as I am with what fits and looks best for me. I've been struggling a lot lately and need to get my butt in gear!!
