    Here's a link to my "success story" if you'd like to read it.
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/543057-goal-reached-114lbs-lost-for-my-32nd-birthday

    4087981_9013-1-1.jpg

    I am 4 ft. 11 inches and currently 106 lbs. (in maintenance, so I keep losing/gaining the same 3-5 lbs.)

    I went from a size 22/24 and a XXL top (sometimes even XXXL) to a size 5 and a Small/Extra Small top.
    (the shirt I'm wearing in my "after" photo is actually a girls (not women's) size large top, so I shop in the kids section too, which is unbelievable for me!)

    I am 4'11'' I was 140 pounds when I started. Not that heavy but when we are small, every pound show

    Wow..great job! Yes, you are right...when we are short, every pound does show...for someone 5'7", 140 lbs. may just be the perfect weight, but for 4'11", 140 lbs. is a lot for your body to handle. My stats are similar to yours...thanks for sharing!

    I am 5'4. Started last year at 216 now at 181 and stuck, but that is ok. Better than gaining. Only have one pic from that weight on my profile and do not know how to put in here. sorry

    Decrease your carbs to under 100 (try to limit them to fruit and veggies- no starches) and increase your protein.

    Try this for two weeks and see if it breaks your plateau.

    Thanks for sharing this tip with all of us! I'm going to get rid of rice and bread completely and replace with fruits and veggies.

    I'm 5'4. I started using Myfitnesspal about mid January. I started around 175+ (I refused to weigh in after Christmas) and I just hit my goal of 135 and I'm still losing. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and walk on the weekends but average workout is around 45minutes per day 5 days a week. Working out lets you eat more but if you stay with this program it works I lost on average 1 to 1.5lbs per week.

    I'm 5'1.5..i was around 220 and i'd say i was a size 20... but i pretty much only worse leggings. All I know is since being 212 and now 167 my measreuments have each gone down about 6 inches. Us shorties show our weight loss pretty well! Unofrtunately we also show our weight gain really well too... I go to the gym 3 times a week minimum but aim for 5 and am doing WW on my own, which basically means a ton of fruits and veggies.

    I am 4ft 11. My start weight was 164lbs in Jan & now I'm 141lbs. Every 1lb gained or lost shows on such a small frame. Still losing & will carry on until I feel happy with myself x

    I am 5'8" my excuse is that when I tell people I am over 200 lbs (High weight of normal is 169) they say Oh but you're tall it doesnt show. I've only been on MFP 2 weeks - lost 4 lbs. Not a big amount but the energy I have since I started exercising is amazing!

    It is true, when we are short every pound shows. I started at 146, got down to 115, now back up to 128, not too heavy, but heavy enough to not fit into most my clothes (I got rid of all me bigger clothes). I did the HCG diet, and it worked wonders, but put the wieght back on very fast when I am not "dieting." i started this because I am sick of dieting. I want to eat what I want without freaking out! I have severe health issues that make it difficult for me to work out, but just started doing this site and the Insanity workout (really modified) havent lost any in the 2 weeks I have been doing Insanity :-( Any tips on how to loose more wieght? I forgot, I am 5'3":-) Just want to fit back in all my clothes!
