hey eveyone! i have been doing mfp since january and have lost 15 lb so far, but it sucks how ppl who arent short can weigh as much or more than me and look thinner!! so i was wondering if there are any others out there who are about 5'1" and want to lose at least 50 lb. if so, add me!!!! :happy:

I'm 5'2" and was up to 190 at my heaviest. It is a constant struggle at our height, 10 lbs = entire new wardrobe. I think I have one in nearly every size. One thing you will need to know is muscle is your BFF. Working out/walking light weights will really help slim you down. I went from a 14/16 to 10/12 this past fall (though it has gone back up again) from running and lifting.

Nothing happens over night and I am starting over and over and over. I am not sure where i want to be but 30 more to go is my goal for now.

Completely agree! I'm just over 5 feet... and I'm about where you started right now. My big goal is to get to 130 (which is still about 70 pounds away!) but I'm pretty sure I'll be trying to lose a little more than that too.

I'm almost 5'3" and I weigh 195 lbs. It sucks. What motivated me was when I was 200 and I weighed just a couple pounds more than my husband. I'm working hard to get in shape now, and loose fat. I think it might be rubbing off on my husband because now he runs with me sometimes I also want to get in shape for pregnancy. Hopefully that time comes soon
