    I am 5'1" and have about 150 more to lose.. I should be around 130 by the time I hit my goal.... I don't know how I managed all this time at my size. Believe me my knee's and ankles are not happy. I am well on my way and will not stop!!

    I am 5'1 and my goal is 115 and am currently sitting at 122. Ideally, I would love 110 like I had been the majority of my younger life. But I don't think I will get there.

    I'm currently 120, started at 137. Am heading toward 115-118. That's where I feel the healthiest and most fit. Going lower makes my upper body look gaunt and bony. I still carry weight around my hips and thighs, but that's just my body type and I'm absolutely fine with that.

    I have friends my height that feel best at 105, and others that like to stay around 135. I think that as long as you can maintain without going crazy with diet or over-exercise, that's your ideal.

    We do, yes Sir! Lol!

    I'm 4'11" and my goal is about 112-115. Currently 84, so really need to gain those lbs! Im not skinny as such but definately need a bit more on me! I don't particularly log my food etc at the mo, but thinking I may start again from Monday as I need to give myself a motivational boost again.

    Friend requests most welcome. :-)

    im 5' and currently 167lbs my goal for now is 130lbs but my dream weight is 115-120lbs this was what i weighed before i had my first baby 7yrs ago. i agree losing weight for us vertically challenaged is alot harder. when i was younger i basically had to eat very little and work out hard...but i dont have the time for that now with 3 kids, fur babies and a house to take care of lol

    I am 4'10". I started at 115. My original goal weight was 100 because at my most Fit time in my life I was in the Army, active and weight that much. I now have 2 more kids and 115 did not look good on my. I am steady at 104-106 and I found if I lost any more weight, I would look frail because of my body frame. I did jump up to 108 but clothes were still loose, stomach still flat but I look more toned. Everyone carries weight differently. Dont look at a scale. Look how your clothes fit. if you like how they fit, go with it.:happy:

    5ft and my goal is 100-105. Every time i get to 105 I bounce straight back up to 108/9. So frustrating. Think it's time for me to focus on fitness rather than the scale..

    First I would like to say Congrats! Keep up the good work. I am 5'1 and my goal weight is between 115 to 118. Before my back surgery I weighed 115 and felt fantastic and with not being able to do too much for a long period of time I gained alot of weight. I food log, exercise every day and have lost 30 pounds so far. Short girls rock!!!!

    I'm a shade under 5ft and aiming for 8 1/2 stone [119lb]. Having been this weight before, it felt good and is a more realistic weight for me to maintain at my age and lifestyle. I'd have said more like 105lb a few years ago, but I don't wanna live off cup-a-soups and jam for life!

    Hey ladies! I'm just under 5'2, 24 years old. My goal is first to hit 140, but ultimately I want to be around 135 (maybe 130). I have an athletic build so I know being super thin isn't in my cards. I lift heavilty 3-4x a week combined with 20-30 min cardio, and usually I'll do just cardio on some or all of the other 3 days. I just want to be toned and look the part of an athlete, and finally be comfortable in my own skin =] Good to hear from some other shorties!

    You guys are doing great! I'm 4'11 with a starting weight of 134 on MFP but before that I lost 20 pounds. I have a small frame (my wrists are so tiny it's ridiculous!) and a pear shaped body so I'm just trying to work out and get a bit toned. My goal weight is 100 but I'll see how it goes! I'm currently 126.

    I am 5'1, and recently reached my goal weight of 118. Since I've mainly been running, now I'm going to add some strength training and build muscle.

    I'm 5' and I weight 138 now. I started out at 152 and my goal weight is 100. I don't remember the last time I weighed 100 though so anytime I start feeling good about my body I'll stop paying so much attention to the scale.
