    Any of you, feel free to add me! I would feel so much better if I had friends with the same kinds of goals as me. I see everyone with like, 80-lb weight loss goals, and I just can't relate, because something like that just doesn't work for someone my size. A year or two ago, I was somewhere around 115 and 120, and I'd like it so much if I were around 100.

    Hi everyone! I'm 5'1 and weigh 168, I just lost 22 lbs, 6 months after I had my son. My best friend is 5'6 and weighs the same but she looks way fitter than me. My weight always seems to be in my belly and face even before I had a baby. Looking for some friends for support and to relate with me.

    I am looking for friends that are around 5'0" because then we can compare things that work and don't. It is hard to do that with people that are not around that hieght. Not trying to offend anyone. It is just hard being so short. 5 lbs looks like 20.:wink:

    I totally agree with that last comment! People at work keep telling me things like, "but you're so petite!" "why do you need to lose weight?" and "you want to be 120 lbs.??? but that's so little!!!" Obviously, they don't realize that for a woman my height - 5'2-1/2" - my age - 48 - and bone structure - small frame - carrying around 140 lbs. was TOO much and it made me feel sick!

    I'm at around 129 lbs. right now, so feel free to add me if you'd like! :smile:

    Hi,

    I'm in the 5 foot club too.

    I can totally relate about the breast issue, however I had a breast reduction a couple of years ago and the confidence it gave me was amazing.

    Now all I need to work on is my problem area (the stomach of course) if us short girls put on weight around out midriff then we look pregnant! People that are taller, have a longer area and carry weight better.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I find that zumba and swimming works best, as you don't even realise you're working out when you're having fun :) x

    hi....feel free to add me too, I share all the same feelings! I am just a tad under 5'1" and have the same problems. Sometimes I get so discouraged because no matter how hard I try I will never have a long, lean look. I can't do anything about my height but I can change the shape of my body. I need to lose weight so I can be healthy. I am so happy to have found mfp.......
