    Hi everyone, I'm 5'3' and currently 203. My goal weight is 145. My highest was 220 when I was pregnant with my now 10yr old. Somehow I just can't seem to get it together. I know I need to lose the weight and I'm not afraid of exercising but my diet is horrible. I keep eating the wrong things over and over again, sabatoging myself. Unfortunately, I have the taste buds of a child. I don't eat anything but pasta, bread and sugar...all the things I should be cutting out :( Any help would be appreciated...

    Have you considered a metabolism makeover or detox; in which you avoid those foods for 2-3 weeks to get them out of your system?? That's my first thought.

    Never tried a metabolism makeover, what's that? & if I cut them out for 2-3 weeks, what are some of the things I could eat instead?

    I'm 5'2" and currently 211lbs. I was 135 in grade 11 which would be awesome to be again, but I'd be happy with 150.

    That would be me!!! I am 5'2" and weigh in at 214....My smallest was actually 105 in high school, not looking to go there again. My goal weight right now is 150. I sometimes think that this is too high b/c all the short ladies want to be lower but oh well! I am developing some nice muscle, have worked out everyday for the last 49 days and am having a hard time loosing pounds.

    I'm very short too and my goal is 150. I figure I can always aim for lower if I think I'd be best doing so. I just want to see how I feel at that particular point without getting too ahead of myself.

    My highest was about 185 between junior year and the beginning of senior year in high school. Around that time, I began to pull my act together and get as low as 177, but then my weight started to drift back up toward 180 or so.
    Now I am back at it.

    I'm 5'3.5 and I weight 280 pounds. I have lost weight since being up here and I too noticed that many women around these heights are considerably smaller. Don't let that get you down. Not everyone has the same body type or the same life. Things will always be different but as long as it's your difference it's all that matters.

    Wow! It is so encouraging to see all you lovely shorter ladies having such awesome success! I really was starting to feel like I was the biggest 5'3 out there! Lol

    I'm 5'3 and weigh about 210 right now. My goal is 175. That's the lowest weight I've ever been, as an adult. I figure that's way more realistic for me than the Jillian Michael's website suggestion of 119!! 119?! I haven't weighed that much since I was 10 years old. :laugh:

    Good luck, everyone! Go us!

    I am 5'3 and am currently 190. Before I started MFP I was 240 and used weight watchers but got to a point were I was not getting enough points and I was constantly hungry. I lost motivation and like you said fell off the band wagon and now I am starting again and trying to find motivation to keep to it!

    thank heaven for this group --- 182 looks a lot different on someone 5'2" than it does on someone 5'8"; i was skinny my whole life, and athletic (size 3; 104 lb; gained 40 lb w/ each baby & lost it all in 3 mo; i'm now age 59) ....... so, its still kinda shocking; got down to 116 in '06, felt & looked great! then my health changed dramatically; dunno if 116 is still a reasonable goal ........ gonna try! :)

    I'm almost 5'2 (more like 5'1 1/2). I started here at my high weight of 230, and am now down to 216. My lowest weight was way back in high school at 120-130ish. I picked 110 as my goal weight because even at my thinnest I still felt blegh. I may change my mind as I get closer, who knows. I just want to be healthy and happy with my body!
