    I'm 5'2!! lol. I started my weight loss in feb. of this year. I Started at 172. I used HCG drops and followed the program for 1.5 months in total. dropped 20 from that and have started my own program of counting calories and exercising and am down to 141. I'm aiming for 125pounds when I'm all said and done. As a suggestion you might want to look int your BMI. you probably have already but if not. I did just had a dr. appt. yesterday and he did his calculations and said i should lose another 15pounds. which would put me right around my goal. Sometimes we make goals for ourselves and our body disagrees with it. lol. I read once online that if you try and go against your bodies natural optimal weight it can be a constant struggle since your body is fighting against you. Good luck with your goal! *Your picture looks great to me!

    I am 5 2 as well and the best weight I was at was 119. I was a size 4 and rockin a bikini (life has caught up with me since then but I'll get back!). Remember, to get rid of those jiggles you are going to build muscle, which weighs more than fat. Don't say I need to drop this many pounds because that may not be optimal or healthy. Figure out inches or sizes or tone instead, rather than weight.

    I am 5'2" I want to be 110! That is another 18lbs away. And yes, no one understands. They all say I am slim, but I have seen me naked and when I wave my arm continues to jiggle well after I have stopped, lol. When I looked up the BMI for my height on here it said that my health weight was between 101 and 135. So here I am in desperate need of similar support!

    Hi! I'm 5'1" and CW154lb GW 130lb. I often feel like a kid when in a group of other adults even though I'm 36 yrs old. So not fair that I got the height and weight issues and my sister got the thin and tall genes, lol. Today is day one for me though and I'm goal oriented. I can do it!

    Speaking of diet..I have honestly never heard that short people need to consume less calories daily

    Really? The shorter you are the fewer calories you tend to need to maintain or lose weight.

    Hi hun, im 5ft 1 1/2 ( always put the 1/2 as it makes a difference) lol. im currently 125 and want to lose around 10 - 15lb. i get people saying theres nothing on you blah blah blah but they see me dressed not naked and even a few pounds just swells up my waistline and makes my closthes so uncomfortable. if i was 5 ft 10 i wouldnt have a problem hahahahaha. good luck on your journey :)

    I'm 5'2 and used to be 120 in cheerleading/gymnastics in highschool but then got wayyy to big when I quit at ~180. I'm down to 138 now thanks to weight watchers and trying to make my way down to the 120 mark again.

    I am 5'2
    My goal weight was 127,
    but I am 115 now and this suits me best
    8 pounds to loose is very do-able
    If that is what you want THEN do it
    Do not let the nay-sayers stop you.
    You have to feel right for yourself.
    Good luck
