I'm 5'1". It is a long story about health problems that got me to 238 pounds. And I won't go into all that, but suffice it to say that once I was able to normalize my health somewhat, I was better prepared to take on the weight and improve my health even more.

I started this journey with a BMI of 45 to see if I could stick to a 1200 calorie a day diet and walk every day to prepare for what I would need to do after gastric bypass surgery. I started to lose weight and lost enough for me to not even qualify for the surgery before the 6 month waiting period was up. I lost 8 pounds on my own and then started at MFP just over a year ago at 230. Size 22WP and 2XL.

Now I'm at 154. Size 12P. Size L top. BMI: 29.1. I've lost about 13+ inches at each bust, waist, and hips. I stick to 1200 most days, don't eat back my exercise calories, and try to workout everyday! I still have weight to lose -- maybe 24 - 39 pounds (I'll know when I get there), but I'm sticking with it.

I don't have any good pictures, but I'm in the 5'2" club as well. My build is unusual (I think), because my frame is small like my mom's (as seen in my wrists, shoulders), but I'm genetically pretty muscular (like my dad). So it adds up to my looking fine at quite a range of weights, but the second I overload my frame (this happens at about 140), I look like a completely different person.

Anyway, I'm 42 now. When I was 30, I broke my ankle and gained 40 pounds - that was the beginning of the end for my weight struggles - I have battled my weight my whole life, but this was the first time I had passed "curvy" and was squarely into "fat" territory. My high was 165, and on my frame, I was pretty huge. And everything hurt - knees, feet, back. The only benefit was that I had a world-class rack - I seriously loved my boobs at that weight.

After a few years of this, I was diagnosed with PCOS, got my thyroid figured out, and went down to about 125 (it took a year of struggling) and at least looked like myself again!

Had some personal drama (heartbreak), got down to about 110-115 by not eating. I'm a little too thin under 115 - my face gets drawn and I look significantly older.

These days (at 40+), I'm good in the 120-125 range. I'm exercising more than I ever did when I was thinner, so I think the number is deceptive. I don't think I'll ever see 115 again - I don't think I want to. I'm around 135 now, and let me tell you, after 40 it's been a struggle for every single pound.

I like talking to other short women about this - some of my taller friends look at me like I'm deranged when I talk about some of these numbers (like the fact that I am obese at 140 if I'm not lifting weights), but I have to remind them....five pounds at my height is a totally different animal than five pounds at 5'9".

I'm 5' 2" and reached my goal of losing 30 lbs with MFP on October 4, 2014. I've been on maintenance ever since, and have stayed within +/- 2.5 lbs of my goal.

Hi everyone! I am 5'1 and I am looking for supportive friends. I am 23 and applying to graduate programs. I have worked very hard this past year and have lost a good amount of weight through eating healthy and working out 4/5 times a week. I started around 118 and I am currently 105. I am pretty much wanting to just maintain this weight and keep doing what I have been. If I happen to lose a little more thats fine but focusing on toning and weight lifting. Goal is to stay at 102-105 which is a healthy weight for my height. add me if you would like. I am super positive and love to give advice when I can.

I'm still working at it. Have not quite reached my goal. I am 5'1" and would like to maintain at 112.

Peak weight on the left in Oct 2013. Lost 6 pounds here and there and in May 2014 is when I started to use MFP and log religiously. I have logged my food for 311 days and do not intend to stop even when I reach my goal.

I weigh all my food with a food scale. I lift weights (Stronglifts 5x5)

I never thought I would get even here. My first goal was a size 6 which was about 135 lbs. I met the goal and just kept adjusting downward. I always thought I couldn't weigh this, but I was just fooling myself into bad habits.

Only bad part is my boobs have all but disappeared. That purple bikini has molded cups :P
