    Hey, I'm bri and I'm pretty much 5 feet. (4'11 and 3/4ths to be exact.) Lol. So I definitely know how you feel. 10 pounds on short people look like A LOT more. I have a pretty big weight loss goal and new to my fitness pal. So if anyone wants to add me, feel free. :)

    I'm right at 5 ft and get how you feel as well. I have a hefty weight loss goal, but I'm slowly chipping away at it. Feel free to add me!

    Hey friends! Please add me! I am 5'0" and I can TOTALLY relate to the myriad dilemmas we short people face when it comes to weight loss... a tiny gain or loss looks so obvious, and we're not even supposed to be eating that many calories a day even if we exercise, so it's hard to create a deficit while still maintaining a nourishing diet. This also makes gaining weight super easy because a tiny snack can put us over our limits. :*(

    Short people, unite!

    I don't think my husband totally ever got this until one day after a race he asked me how many calories I had burned and when I told him, he said "I'm sorry". He's 6'6" so he has no idea. I'm only 5'1 so I know the pain of being short. Feel free to add me.

    4'11"

    So far this year I've lost about 10 pounds, and it actually made a huge difference. I'm down a couple inches around my hips and waist, and I'm fitting into jeans that were uncomfortably snug a year ago.

    I'm 5'1" and, yes! A little weight gain can look like a lot! BUT on the more positive side, losing five pounds makes a big difference too! YAY for shorties!:)

    Hi shorties!!

    I'm 4'11." Feel free to add me everyone. I love having fellow short girls as friends on here because I always get discouraged when I see all of my normal sized mfp friends' huge calorie burns. I could do the same workout or exercise for the same amount of time and burn like 1/5 of the calories :(
