    I'm 5'2 and about the same weight too, and looking to be around 113 lbs. I don't think wanting to lose a few more pounds is a big deal at all :). People forgot that we shorties can weigh less and it's still a perfectly healthy weight and BMI for us.

    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 pretty much the same :) 5'2" 144 and wanting to get down to 120. We'll see where I go after that :)



    Ahhhhh I found my twin! how exciting!!!! :drinker:

    Hey!

    I'm 5'1 and I know what you mean.. I weigh about 119-118lbs right now, and while I've lost a little over 45lbs, I still want to lose about 10lbs. I mainly want to lower my body fat composition and increase my muscle mass, so it may take a while to lose that weight if I'm putting on muscle, but I'll get there.

    People think I'm crazy when I say I'm losing weight, or in the process of, or want to lose weight. A lot of people think it's attention seeking, but it's not like I'm blatantly putting my weight loss goals or fitness goals out there- only if people ask!

    Nothing wrong with wanting to drop a lot of weight or just a few pounds : )

    Any other shorties feel free to add me, but please include a small message!

    I am 5ft and have the exact same goal. I weight about 122 and feel blobby. My goal is to tone and get that look good going on. A little here and their, and with the right strength training I do believe I can achieve this goal. Add me as a friend and we can continue to encourage each other. ( Oh and also trade any awesome new exercises or routines we may have, lol)

    I am 5' 0'' exactly and i weigh 133 lbs. i was 154. i dont want to go below 125-120- i have legs on me because i was a gymnist for 7 years, so i will never have chicken legs, my thighs are thick- but it dont bother me a bit. I get LOTS of compliments on my legs, i dont worry about the scale- its the inches that count on my waist and not so much weight loss but tone-ing up. im a size 3/4. if you want to know more, friend me and my profile speaks volumes:bigsmile:

    4'10"... I could really use fellow petite friends! :/ I wear kids clothes when I am at my ideal/healthy body weight (usually <100 lbs). At least girl's clothes and shoes are cheaper. :P

    I am also 5 ' 2 and know how hard it is to get thin for my height, for the most part it looks like you have acieved the thiness. I cant remember the last time I weighed 120lbs. I am at 162 and my goal is to be at 140 in about 12 weeks. Keep up the good work!

    I'm 5'2 as well. When I was in high school and college, I weighed 105 pounds. Then as I got older, my weight has gone up. In Weight Watchers, they determine your weight my age. It use to be 105-122 and I made sure to stay within that weight. I got down to 114 in my mid-30's and people said I looked too skinny. It depends on your age and body type. I am 57 now and Weight Watchers said my highest weight could be 137, but I feel the best between 125-130. It has been 20 years since I weighed that. My highest was 189 two years ago and I am at 155 now. I want to lose another 25 pounds, but feel much better in size 10-12 than in 16-18. I agree that when you are shorter, the pounds show more than if you are taller. Best of luck everyone. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    There are actually groups on here for us short people. I am 5'1 and at 119 right now. I think people think I'm crazy when I say that my goal weight is 105 lbs but there just aren't a lot of places fat can go on a small frame. Trust me, there are lots of us out there.

    I am barely 5'1'' nearly a midget haha! I was 169 lbs at the end of 2009. By Fall of 2010 I went down to 142 lbs. Then gained weight after the tornado on 5/22/11. I was 154 lbs in June 2012. Last time I got on a scale I was 152. I don't know how much I weight now because I banned the scale for awhile, but I know I am much lighter.

    I'm a shorty too :) you are not alone :)

    I'm five one!! And I am 140lbs and I am not fat but I still want to get down to 125/120lbs and people tell me the same freaking thing...your skinny why are you working out and watching what u eat? because you can always improve yourself! There is nothing wrong with wanting to lose some more lbs, and 5lbs on a short girl looks like a hell of a lot more than on a tall one! I think it's a lot harder for us short girls to maintain/lose weight...does anyone else feel the same?!
