    I am also 5 ' 2 and know how hard it is to get thin for my height, for the most part it looks like you have acieved the thiness. I cant remember the last time I weighed 120lbs. I am at 162 and my goal is to be at 140 in about 12 weeks. Keep up the good work!

    I'm 5'2 as well. When I was in high school and college, I weighed 105 pounds. Then as I got older, my weight has gone up. In Weight Watchers, they determine your weight my age. It use to be 105-122 and I made sure to stay within that weight. I got down to 114 in my mid-30's and people said I looked too skinny. It depends on your age and body type. I am 57 now and Weight Watchers said my highest weight could be 137, but I feel the best between 125-130. It has been 20 years since I weighed that. My highest was 189 two years ago and I am at 155 now. I want to lose another 25 pounds, but feel much better in size 10-12 than in 16-18. I agree that when you are shorter, the pounds show more than if you are taller. Best of luck everyone. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    There are actually groups on here for us short people. I am 5'1 and at 119 right now. I think people think I'm crazy when I say that my goal weight is 105 lbs but there just aren't a lot of places fat can go on a small frame. Trust me, there are lots of us out there.

    I am barely 5'1'' nearly a midget haha! I was 169 lbs at the end of 2009. By Fall of 2010 I went down to 142 lbs. Then gained weight after the tornado on 5/22/11. I was 154 lbs in June 2012. Last time I got on a scale I was 152. I don't know how much I weight now because I banned the scale for awhile, but I know I am much lighter.

    I'm a shorty too :) you are not alone :)

    I'm five one!! And I am 140lbs and I am not fat but I still want to get down to 125/120lbs and people tell me the same freaking thing...your skinny why are you working out and watching what u eat? because you can always improve yourself! There is nothing wrong with wanting to lose some more lbs, and 5lbs on a short girl looks like a hell of a lot more than on a tall one! I think it's a lot harder for us short girls to maintain/lose weight...does anyone else feel the same?!
