    If I jump, I might be 5ft2. Otherwise, I'm stuck at 5ft1 with 186lb under...
    I've been struggling with my weight my whole life, and being short doesn't make it easier ! I always felt like I was a short bubble of fat.

    5' 2" height. In 2006, 138 lbs. with lots of body fat. Went down to 123 lbs. using lifting. In 2012, intensified fitness program. Now 114 lbs. I like how strong & powerful I feel, now. Can lift bags of dog food upstairs, no problem. Have recently adding in swimming. Once I get better at it, more exercise calories will be burned. I eat to fuel my workouts.

    You can do it. Choose to make fitness with good food a way of life. Decide it's fun to challenge yourself and It will be.

    As for height, shoulders back, head held high. Make like you can & will conquer the world.

    Hi,

    I'm 5'2" and currently 203lbs, at the moment I want to drop a couple of dress sizes so can't really say what my ideal weight is.

    If I was taller, I wouldn't need to lose so much weight but unfortunately I'm squashed down!


    :laugh: I couldn't help but giggle at your "squashed down" phrase!
    I'm around 4-4'2 (my husband would say depending on the shoes Im wearing), when they ask how tall I am I tell them 4'2 :tongue: ...makes me sound/look/feel taller.
    We short people are already "fluffed" up, why cant we "fluff" up our heights too :bigsmile:

    I'm 5'4' and fluctuate around 180lbs. Let's motivate each other. Anyone can add me, but I must warn I am a bit obsessive with my weightloss journey when I get serious!
