I am 5'2 (obviously) and it seems like I'm the absolute shortest person on this entire site :( I weigh about 120 and want to lose around 8 pounds and get toned but when people hear that I want to lose weight, they think I'm crazy and tell me I shouldn't be counting calories, blah, blah, blah and I personally don't think I'm fat by any means, but it wouldn't hurt me to lose a few pounds! I have extra jiggle in the middle and some massive thighs (for my height) that I'd like to slim down a bit. I thought, "Hey! Wouldn't it be swell if I had some friends on here around my height to compare with and get some tips from?" I just feel that for my height, I could still lose some weight and still be very healthy! I would be perfectly content with my weight right now if I could grow a couple inches but that's not really an option so....are there any other super short girls out there that would be willing to tell me about their weight and their goals??

FEEL FREE TO ADD ME SHORTIES :)

    I' 5'2" also, but I can't remember the last time I weighed 120 pounds :P I'm at 164 and would like to be 150. Possibly lower. I'm not sure what my goal should be since I don't really have a benchmark on how much I should weigh. Just playing it by ear....

    I'm down to be friends :D

    I'm 5'2 also, and I weigh 144. My goal is to get to 120 or 115 ish. Even at my size people are saying I don't need to loose weight! I definitely want to start toning up once I loosing weight. I think my problem areas are my thighs and butt too :ohwell: It would be nice to have a pal that's the same height as me!

    I'm 5' 1"!! I weigh 135 with a goal of 120-125 (for now), and these last 10 lbs reallllly like where they are! I wouldn't call you fat OR tell you not to lose weight! This is all about how you feel about your body and I am ALWAYS for people being healthier and lifting weights (I am a recent convert to the idea so I get the cardio junkies too...I still am one). Feel free to friend me and we can be shorties together.

    Hi! I am 5'2 but recently I was told I was 5'1. Any type of extra weight show up on me. even 3 pounds looks like 5.
    It's crazy and I glad to see I am not the only "shorty" around here.

    Friend request me if you like.

    I was actually about to ask the opposite thing.
    I see so many "Short girls" threads, and I feel left out :(

    I'm 5'3 and fall between 125 - 128. I started my journey at 162. I'd like to be closer to the 120-125 range. I think it depends on your body type too, whether you are bigger boned or very petite. I'm slightly petite cause I'm 5'3 (torso is short) but my shoulders wouldn't fit into a petite size blouse. So I'm working on toning up and losing body fat and I know that if I am successful there the last couple pounds will go away with the fat OR I'll just tone up. I have a little flabby flab in some places and I would like to tighten up a bit. I'm more concerned about my fat percentage than the scale at this point. Though I do weigh myself and count calories.

    I'm 5'1.75, but I like to round up. :-) Whether you feel like you have a few more pounds to lose isn't for me to judge, but is entirely up to you. I think you'll find a lot of shorties on this site, although many of us have a bit more than a few pounds to lose. Hopefully this post will help you find other "little ones" with just a few pounds to go so you can encourage each other. Good luck!

    I'm 5'2". Weigh about 102 today, in my 20s, in the 90s, sometimes the very low 90s. Never unhealthy, never had an eating disorder. I'm trying to lose a few pounds too, but it's much harder now. I'm older and I'm recovering from a serious injury to my ankle.

    You're not alone. Many people no longer have a realistic idea of weight ranges. If you're healthy, don't pay attention to other people.
