I'm 5ft 2. I just made it into the 130's today for the 1st time in about 9 years! I started on 28th August 2011 weighing 183lbs. I now weigh 138.6lbs. 44.4lbs lost! I have 9.6lbs to go until I get to my goal weight of 129. I'd love to lose that over the next 28 days and reach my 129 goal on my 1 year MFP anniversary. I doubt that will happen, so I'll settle with getting to 136lbs which would put me in the healthy weight range for my height!0

5'2" and losing. It's tough to be so little and lose weight!0

I'm 5'3.5" do I still count? I think I do.
I'm losing successfully (ticker says 17 pounds, but its more like 24) and I've been working on it for the last 3ish months. It is entirely possible to lose the weight you want to lose with dedication and healthy changes.0 -
I am 5 ft and in maintenance. I just increased my calories another 100 this week.0

5'1" here and 44yrs old.0

5'1"
I wouldn't say that losing is more difficult for me than it might be for a taller person, but a few pounds definitely is more noticeable on me than it is a taller person, IMO.0 -
I'm 5'2 and my maintenance is only 1600! So I have to eat low calorie if I don't want to gain. I eat about 1200 and I am comfortable with it. Some people say 1200 is sooooo low and soooo dangerous which is not true.0

I'm 5'2 and have lost over 30lbs. I eat between 1200 (not so hungry days) and 1500 calories per day, lift, do pilates and a lot of walking. I have a little bit more to go. It's tough, you see every pound on us shorties.0

Im 5 foot 2 and started off at 155lbs Im down to 131.8 after about a week, the goal I have set up on MFP is 135 but my ultimate is 125. Losing weight when we're so short is hard but I think even little differences show a lot more when we're this height.0

5' 2.5" here! I want to lose between 30 & 70 pounds..and like it haqd been said, 5 pounds definitely looks like 15 on us! And my weight all goes to my hips..and arms..sigh.lol. But I'm working to get them off! Feel free to add me!0

But 5 pounds lost looks like 15 as well!
I haven't found it too difficult to lose this weight but I have been doing it VERY slowly. Close to 2 years now. But I haven't put ANY of it back on in those 2 years and I'm still losing. I would like to lose about 20-30 more.5' 2.5" here! I want to lose between 30 & 70 pounds..and like it haqd been said, 5 pounds definitely looks like 15 on us! And my weight all goes to my hips..and arms..sigh.lol. But I'm working to get them off! Feel free to add me!0 -

5'0" and well I'm working on losing weight. unsuccessfully but I'm not giving up!
it will happen for you! It's been slower than slow for me as well but I'm not going to give up, I'd rather it be slow and have it stay off than lose it and have it come back again like it's happened before. Lifestyle change here I am! :laugh:
and yes, I'm short too, 5'2" on a good day0 -
I am 5'3 and have lost around 18lbs within the last 2.5 months.0

I am 5 ft and and 101. Yesterday I ate a little over 2000 calories. Being short isn't an automatic low calorie lifestyle.0 -
I'm 4'10 and 36years old, when you are this "tall" every ounce shows. I just joined, hopeing it will help me reach my goal of 130, I am at 204 right now. I can't believe I allowed myself to gain so much. The BMI thing on here said I needed to be at 119 to be normal!!! I just don't see that happening.0
