    I'm 5'2 too! I'm aiming to lose about 15lbs...3 lbs so far. Mostly because I am sad my favourite clothes are now too tight.

    5'0" here! I'm so glad I'm not alone! I work with a couple ladies that weigh way more than me... but they look smaller because they have an extra 6 or 7 inches on me... :grumble:

    I am 5'2-ish! I hate being so short. Even though I have lost 65+ pounds (since my heaviest in 2001), I still think I look heavy in some areas. I'll send you a friend request :)

    I guess I'm a big different than most others. I'm 5'2" currently 183 pounds and I have no problem with the way I look. I'm loosing weight to get the unneeded pounds off my failing joints.

    What's even more important that loosing weight is self love. I have struggled with and conquered this. I don't need my body to be perfect. As my skeleton is deformed my body will never be perfect because no amount of weight loss is going to straighten out my legs and arms. To wish it so will only hurt me. However I can wish (and work toward) my body to be healthier.

    So regardless if you have a pudgy belly, look large in some areas or like a block... Love yourself.

    Anyone can add me if they'd like.

    Well I am 5'3 and weigh 240, and my friend is 5'3 and weighs 120 pounds. It makes me feel bad considering I have one child and she has had three kids. After I had my son, that was when my metabolism went out of whack and I now have an underactive thyroid. Since I have been on here though, I have been able to keep track of what I am eating, and I am seeing at least the water weight going down.

    I'm 5ft 1 and was asked several times if I was pregnant when I was younger and half a stone heavier (I wasn't!). I carry all my weight around my middle.

    5'3" here on a good day.......a very good day! I'm 188 now and have tall friends who weigh the same and.....yeah, it's a bit difficult but that's okay b/c I'm losing!!! I will add u and everyone else feel free to add me if you want! I also hate the "healthy" weight range for us shorter people! I was once 120 as an adult not kid and looked ridiculous!! 150 is perfect for me but not by the weight/height ratio!!

    I'm short too at just under 5'2". It's hard to find clothes that fit properly. Also we can't eat as much if we want to lose weight. Good luck with your journeys!

    Add me shorties!!!
    Can never have too many friends! I am 5'3"!!!
    I agree, it is sometimes so discouraging to see other taller women, 30, 40, 50 lbs higher than my goal weight looking awesome! LOL.
    I wish I was taller, but alas high heels are hot and will have to do! ;P

    I can relate, I am nearly 5'3". When the weight goes on, it seems like my hips and belly explode. It makes it hard to find pants that fit and don't make me look dowdy with mom jeans. I feel very uncool when I am overweight....
