Hello :) I've just began my hopefully successful journey at Myfitnesspal. I've already looked over some success stories and am amazed at how amazing everyone looks! Although I haven't seen any 'shorter' peoples success stories or pictures! If you could post yours that would be great and a huge boost of motivation to get me going!
I'm 5'2 and weigh 154 pounds. My goal is 130, I just want the BMI calculator to say healthy instead of overweight!
Thanks for your time, Holly

    Welcome aboard! I'm 5' 2 and started at 159 lbs.

    My first goal was "a toned 10 stone" - I'm now 135lbs and pretty happy, fitting into a UK size 10.

    Let me see if I can find some pics....

    Good luck to you!!! Here is a link to a lot of stories and photos from fun-sized ladies, including me. :) I'm 5'2" and starting weight was 157 in January 2010. I'm now 123.0 and one pound from my goal of 122.0. You can do this!
