    I'm 4'11" as well!

    I'm in my second year of college, and last year I gained the freshman 20.

    I felt most comfortable at 98 pounds, which for me, was enough to just barely squeeze into a size one. I held that weight for 4 years before heading off to college.
    I'm at a size 4-size 6 now (because 20lbs means going up many pants sizes at this height).
    I have been restricting my diet to about 1000 calories per day, with one day a week free to go up to 1500.

    That's what my question was too. I noticed that I don't lose with the 1200 cal diet. I need to be 1000 -1200 with 1200 being when I overeat.
    Has anyone one else noticed that?

    4'11" officially...but last time the doctor measured was 4'10.5":sad:

    So glad to finally hear someone say that they have to lower the calories from 1200 to lose:grumble: I've always found that if I want to lose I have to eat 1000 or just under, doesn't matter how much I exercise.

    I have found that 113-115 puts me at a size 4-6 and anything less gives me way too many wrinkles:blushing: so that is the goal.

    :drinker: Here's to all of us shorties:drinker: we will succeed:smile:

    I am 4' 10" and I have weighed 101 before I looked sick... My weight I like is around 110-115 max 120. Right now I am curently at 136 and 137 (not pg is my most I have ever weighted) I am a size 8 currently but want to be back in my 4's. I am a mother of 2 children so I also have extra skin that I have not been able to do anything with so hoping I can get that gone before I am done with loosing my weight. I wish us all the best of luck!

    So how many calories do most of you eat to lose?

    I am still trying to figure out the most that I can eat and still lose. i realize this will change as I lose, but I am still trying to allow as many calories as possible since I am ALWAYS hungry.:sad:

    4'11" tall... anyone else ? Wondering what my goal weight / measurements should be. Anyone else my height want to share their goals and measurements ? Thanks!

    FINALLY, someone who is the same height as me! I'm not very petite when it comes to being short though. I have all my measurements written down somewhere..
    I have a very thick, athletic body. my goal weight is about 130 lbs, and I'd like to get back to my hourglass shape. If you're petite, I doubt your measurements would be anywhere near what my goal measurements would be, even at 104 lbs, I was a size 7.

    Wow, after reading through some of the goals, I feel awkward that my goal weight is 130 lbs. Once I hit puberty, I was never below 115 pounds. I was a varsity swimmer in school and swam on the USA swim team, so I was constantly involved in high intensity workouts, I was also actively involved in snowboarding and biking throughout the year. I can't imagine weighing any less than 130 lbs. I have never met girls my height that have a similar body type, everyone I meet that is under 5 feet tall is very petite with an incredibly small body frame and small features :(

    I am 4'11.5' and currently weight 148.4, my goal weight is somewhere between 125-130.

    3 years ago I weighed 196.5 and was wearing a size 16 with a waist measument of 39, and right now my waist is 32.5(this is where it seems I hold my weight the most) I am wearing a size 8 or 10.

    I was also very chest heavy, 38DDD and I had a breast reduction last October and I am now a 34C and LOVE it!!!

    Friend me, its nice having friends who are small in stature :smile:

    I am 4'11.5"....had to throw in that .5 because as you all know it counts! I currently weigh 137.2. I have yo yo dieted all my adult life. I just started seeing a nutritionist a week and a half ago because I feel I need to learn once and for all how to eat healthy and keep the weight off. She put me on a program which is very different than I am used to and I have lost 6.1 pounds (143.3 start weight). It's amazing and I'm really satisfied. My focus is no longer on the calories and fat. I eat an average of 1300 calories a day, I must get a minimum of 90g of protein, no more than 60g of carbs and keep my sugar between 20-30g a day. I eat 6 mini meals a day ideally (can be just 3 if I'm traveling). Each meal must contain at least 15g of protein and only the last 3 meals can have TRUE carbs (pasta bread, legumes). If i can only fit in 3 meals each would have 30g protein and carbs at the last meal of the day. I drink a protein drink within a hour of waking up. The food is great because i'm not fat obsessd so obviously with a little healthy fat things taste better. I am also exercising (which is not new for me) but I keep it at a moderate level, before this I have always thought that I needed to push myself to the limit when exercising in order to lose weight.

    My goal is to get down to 115 lbs and 24% body fat.

    I'm 5ft and I weigh 98lbs, and I eat 2,000+ calories and I'm losing weight. I think it depends on how active you are, etc

    I'm 5' basically and know that there is no way I could get down to what my recommended weight is. The smallest I have been as an adult was 117 and that was to small for me. I didn't feel healthy. I have a very athletic muscular build so my comfortable weight is between 120 and 124. You know your body.
