    Hello! I'm 4'9" and I have heard that all the calculations that are used for BMI and such cannot apply to use small folks ... along with the limit of 1200 calories a day. I'm 82lbs and on the BMI scale, I'm underweight ... NO I'm a perfect weight. I was once up to 97 (my heaviest) and I agree: any small amount of weight looks HUGE on us. Any advice I can give I can try. I am under the care of a nutritionist and have learned so much AND it affirmed to me I was right about a few things. :)

    I totally changed the way I ate (not so much as to WHAT) and the weight just came off. My thing was though, I wasn't trying necessarily to lose weight (for medical reasons I had to change it). I live by one major rule: eat 1 fist full or whatever and if you are not hungry in 2 hours, you ate too much. I NEVER starve myself. Once I am hungry, I eat because if you starve yourself, your body will hold onto those fat cells because it doesn't know when the next meal will come.

    It is hard to do that at first because friends and family normally eat three meals a day and they are traditional breakfast/lunch/dinner meals. Throw THAT idea out the window.

    Hello, i'm 5' 3/4".....I'm 27 (in like 2 1/2 wks!) and i have 2 kids (6yrs 4mons and 3 yrs 9mons).
    SW was 107 lbs (48.5 kg)
    CW ~104 lbs (47.17 kg- fluctuates throughout the day slightly)....

    I've been at this for the past 5 months......started May 1st or so.

    i don't really know what my goal weight should be...i'm not going below 100 lbs (45.3 kg), last time i did i looked really Ill. However, due to medical reasons i can't have my weight ABOVE 110 lbs (48.89 kg) or it's too much of a strain on my body.

    Honestly, i just want to tone my mid section that was ruined by the pregnancies, and tone my stomach. If i loose a couple lbs or so than awesome, if not....whatever....as long as i dont go past my Doctors Recommended weight.

    just starting here
    am 5'1

    highest wt: 122 ish?
    lowest: 93 (when i was a student about 3.5 years ago- i used to complain to my Dr. that i couldnt put on wt. so had to drink BOOST. oh the irony.....)

    now: 118
    goal: 105

    its interesting that the 1200kcal limit cant be applied to petite people - sometimes i have trouble even eating that much although i LOVE food esp when its drenched in butter...and cream.... ;)
    but otherwise it feels like im eating for the sake of eating to get to that 1200 benchmark.

    im pretty much the definition of skinny-fat - i shudder to think about my body fat %. I cant run longer than 2 minutes without huffing and puffing but i can walk a fair ways with a 20lb backpack before i give up (ie. 2-3 miles - just did the Washington Mall last week....)

    I'm more interested in loosing inches rather than JUST wt, because then i'll be less squishy. that would be good.

    I am 5ft 1/2" and coming up to 52yrs of age. I started on here due to an underactive thyroid at 133lbs I am now quite happy to be at 110lbs. But could still do with a bit of toning. If I can do it, so can you :-) All the best.

    ok, I am 5 feet and 1/2 inches tall. I'm trying to figure out if that is considered 5'0 or 5'1. 5-10 lbs makes a big difference. I have always wanted to be a healthy weight and I started out at 210 I am now 133, I think for both, I need to be 128 although my dr.'s office tells me that I am a healthy weight. According to the charts, I should be 100-123, I believe they put as the highest on other charts. I am happy now, but I'll be happier when I enter my weight in and see the green. My BMI is 25. Let me know what you think.

    Heyy =]
    Congrats on your weight loss so far!!!!!!!!!
    I am also pretty short..like 5'3/4 and Im sorta confused on "ideal weight" seems like I keep seeing 116? but i've seen it go as low as 97. I was up to 189 and now am 129, have gone as low as 122, and on my frame I could tell I was close but not there yet. I think im going to shoot for 110 and see how that goes. Maybe i'll get to 116 and realize that it really is enough...you know what big difference 5 lbs makes on us short ones! lol

    Finally us short girls coming together! I'm 5'1, currently hovering between 116-118 depending on the day, my goal weight is 110.

    Anyone have any health/fitness tips? I find it so much harder to lose weight than my taller friends.

    Hi!! Well, I'm 5'1 and some change.. And I currently weigh in at 179 lbs. :( Yep, but my goal weight currently is to get around 135 lbs. Although I'm looking to lose lbs, I'm more looking to reduce in size so my goal is to fit in 5/6 jeans. Maybe smaller if I can make it! :)
