Hello!
My name is Stephanie. I am 4ft 9in, I weigh 123 right now, I was 140 last March. I have been slowly and steadily trying to get healthy. My goal is 115 right now, eventually 100-110. I have pretty much come to terms with my height, I have a short mother and relatively short family. But the short jokes get old and I get at least ONE every time I meet new people. They are always like "You're so short!" and I just want to be like "Oh really?! I havent even noticed, THANK YOU for telling me something I had no CLUE about!" But most of the time I just laugh and say yeah I am... I enjoy being petite. I enjoyed it more when I was a size 3 or so... but at a 7 its ok. I was a 12 last year and thats when I had a wake-up call... I started seeing pictured of myself and was appalled! So now I am working on staying healthy and working on my goals. I guess I am just looking for some short buddies who will understand the frustration of shopping for short people and every other challenge that comes to being short.
Thanks!

Hi! I'm new to MFP and at just 5 foot 2, it is time to get this weight off! I am now at 215 and at my lightest was 130. I would like to get back to something close to that. I'm so glad I found this group as I know you ladies understand how I feel.
Thanks!0 -

Hi everyone. I'm 5'1", and currently 137lb, down form 171lb (that's 9st 11 down from 12st 3 to us Brits!) since Feb '11.
My goal is somewhere between 8 1/2 stone and 9 stone (119 - 126lb), I haven't decided yet, and I'll see how I feel when I get there.
My main struggle is that despite having lost a fair amount of weight, I haven't really gone down a dress size yet (UK 14 to start, UK 12 / 14 now) and it can be quite discouraging. So my 2012 plan is to do more strength training and toning, focus less on the scales and more on how I look and feel.
Good luck to everyone I hope that we can all achieve our goals 0 -
Happy New Year!
I'm 5'2 but generally don't feel all that short because I'm in heels a lot! However, the pounds do seem to hang on us shorties a bit differently. My goal for 2012 is to lose about 60lbs. I live in south Florida so I cant hide under bulky sweaters or jackets without looking ridiculous and this year, I don't want to. I want to lounge around South Florida in a bikini. Feel free to add me, let's encourage each other!0 -
Hi there, I am 5' 0. I have been loosing weight for a while.... was down to 133 before Christmas (started at 165) but after eating white four and carbs over the holidays I am afraid to get back on the scale.
I find it most challenging to find time to exercise and have the most insatiable cravings at the end of every month. I think this is the year I want to live in my bathing suit at the beach.....Let's help each other reach our goals. Feel free to add me as a pal......0 -
Hey everyone!
I'm just shy of 5'4. I'm pretty athletic, but have kinda fallen off the train here thanks to the holidays and other stresses. My biggest problem is that once I start eating junk, my will power goes out the window! I hold most of my weight in my lower body (butt and thighs), and every added pound on my body is equivalent to 10 or more pounds on my taller friends! Anyways, I lost some weight training for my half marathon a few months ago after being fed up with my weight (the highest it had been). I am hoping to run a full marathon in 18 weeks as a goal for 2012! (Hoping I can meet my goal weight while training for the 26 miles).
I hope that we can all provide support and reach our goals together! Wishing everyone the best!0 -

Hi all, I'm 5'1" on a good day, CW 135.4, have dieted on and off for the last few years, losing 70 pounds total after many times of see-sawing. I am at the lowest I have been since I was a teenager and hoping to reach 115-125ish by my wedding in May. Here's to all of us shorties!!0

Hey, I'm 5'1'' and considered morbidly obese. I'm trying to take it one step at a time instead of a fad diet this time. I want to quit squeezing into a size 20 jeans and not want to vomit when I look in the mirror prior to a shower

Hi! I'm Sandy, I'm 5'2 and I weight 159.1 pounds (72.2 kg - I only know that because I set my scale, by accident, to KG instead of LBs). Mayyy sound out there (it does to me; if I didn't experience it myself, I don't know if I'd believe it) but I gained all of the weight (I was 137 before) in one week. Monday I fit into pants I had since I was 12 and by Sunday I couldn't get them up my thighs (which has the bulk of the weight). My diet has always been consistent, my exercise routine has never changed and the only factor added was birth control so I got off of that since it just wasn't worth the complete destruction of my body and self-esteem. I hated my body up until I hit 19 (2009) and I JUST started wearing and feeling comfortable in Capri's when this happened.
Right now I'm focusing on starting an exercising habit before I work on a dieting habit since I don't want to move things too fast and have it bite me on my big ol' butt later on.
So yea... Hi! =30 -
Hi, I'm Alyx. I'm 5' 2.5" (I like the extra half inch :happy: ). I was 175 when I joined a little over a year ago but now I'm currently 135 (I think... I haven't weighed myself for a little over a week... I left my scale home when I went back to the dorm- getting it back tomorrow though). I'm not really sure what weight I want to get to... at this point I need to concentrate more on toning and doing more exercise. I just want to get to what ever weight is healthy for me and look good. Feel free to add me if you want. 0

Welcome to MFP! You'll get a lot of support here, although of course, it really only works if you want to put in the effort. Good luck!0
