    Do I count? 5'3.75" ... normally I round to 5'4" tho... lol... oh, and am a guy >.>

    I'm gonna say I count. Short pride.

    And yes, losing weight but it is quite difficult to manage calories at this size. Seems an extra breath of air might pack on pounds.

    I am 5'2" and only need lose 18lbs, but as you can see from my picture, that will make a HUGE difference in my midsection! I feel like for us shorter people, a few extra pounds is HUGE!

    I am 5'0" and have lost 26 lbs in about 6 months. It took a lot of hard work and dedication but was definitely not an impossible feat! Oh and I am also 32 so I am not super young either.

    5'0" here, have lost almost 50 pounds so far and it hasn't actually been that difficult. Interestingly though, I was just shy of 5'1" when I started but lost enough fat from my feet that I'm down to 5' even at this point!

    Im 5 foot 2 and started off at 155lbs Im down to 131.8 after about a week, the goal I have set up on MFP is 135 but my ultimate is 125. Losing weight when we're so short is hard but I think even little differences show a lot more when we're this height.

    Another shortie here 5'2.5, so far I've lost 42lbs. At my heaviest I looked positively round, every pound really shows when you don't have a lot of length. It's been a slow loss, around .8lbs a week. It was hard to see people losing so fast and I was crawling along but I tried to not let that discourage me. Down to the last 10lbs! They should be off by Christmas...I hope LOL

    I'm 4'11" and I've lost 15 pounds. Trying to lose the last few and I've been stuck for months. I'm going to start watching carbs and sugar more closely.

    5'2", I have lost 25 pounds in about 5 months, and that is with a little cheating on the weekends. My boot camp instructor the other day, who is as short as me, said during a particularly hard workout "5 pounds looks like 15 pounds on us and we have to work harder". So true!

    I'm 5'1.5 (we all know the .5 matters!) and I am working towards 115. I've lost weight many, many times but I've never been that low. My lowest was 122 after I lost weight after my first baby (started at 175 lbs). Gained most of it back during my second pregnancy. Got back down to 150 after that one, but gained it back with my third. It's been two years since I had my third and last baby so no more excuses. I want to finish my thirties healthy!
