    5'0. Need to lose about 115. Just started MFP. Hopefully with the help of this website and the phone app, I'll be more successful than prior attempts.

    I'm 5'2" and I should probably lose about 100 pounds. The lowest I ever got was 143, and gained it all back since I was not eating for life, but restricting calories severely to lose weight. This was over a decade ago. Right now I'd be happy to get to 150 and work from there, which is like 65 pounds away. It feels like forever to get any weight off at all. It's taken 12 weeks to lose 10lbs.

    I'm 5'2. Luckily I've never been excessively overwight, well no more than around 28lbs, however I'm still always in constant 'diet' mode & I often put this down to my size. We can quite easily resemble umpa lumpas if we're not careful, especially as around my middle is where I carry most of my excess weight.
    Now I've found MFP I'm hoping I have found a tool for life in weight management. I intend to shake the diet head & swap it for a consistent healthy lifestyle. My problem is not what I eat but my portion sizes as I have a hugh appetite for a little un & adore anything that's bread :sad: Our main problem is that we just cannot eat the same amount as taller people. This seems cruel & unfair for us shorties. Ive lost 11lbs in as many months, with only walking as my excercise & most w/ends I break it. However I'm on such a low calorie intake of 1200, & I'm not comfortable with this as I know it's too low. As I only have another few pounds I would like to lose I'm going to start to gradually up my cals, as I don't mind if these last few pounds take longer to shift, afterall it's a lifetime change not a quick fix.
    I'm still gonna dread holidays & xmas though when I know I cannot resist indulging alot :tongue:

    5ft nothing and lost about 16lb over year period. I just can't seem to lose enough over one month so I'm hoping this website will help me do that. With only walking and biking as excersize I gain most of my weight back on weekends and holidays. Dreading Christmas!

    I just joined today...I'm 4"10", started at 219 lbs Oct 2010, have lost 29.2 lbs so far...I'm really just part time..at this, no exercise, as I work at a desk job, and am too tired to try to get active...and rest all weekend.....I drink a diet protein drink in the morning, watch it at lunch (about 600 calories then)) sometimes eat a handfull of almonds for dinner or other snack, eat out 2 or 3 times a week and choose whatever I want...I do not restrict myself other than this...if a coworker brings in donuts I usually will have one...I used to take more before I tried Raspberry Ketones 500 Mg twice a day...this helps with hunger and resisting temptation....I have 65 lbs more to go...my doctor says I'm doing it the right way, slowly

    I'm just under 5'1" and would like to lose 30lbs to start. The couple of pounds that I have lost have not been easy. I don't exercise as much as I should, which is part of the problem. I hope I can kick this weightloss into gear soon.

    I'm 5'3 and so far I've lost about 33 lbs. (ticker below will show exact number) I'm not finding it to difficult and I seem to be losing a bit fast. I'm averaging 2-3 lbs a week but I'm also doing a ton of exercise.

    And here's my most recent pic with ma man Bruce ;) at 115lbs

    Good luck on your journey! People don't get that every extra lb shows on short girls so 145 on a tall girl and 145 on me looks compLETEly different.

    I'm 4 11' and 124. That seems high, but I have bigger boobs that I cannot seem to shrink down while losing weight. (not complaining.) My goal right now is to get to 115. The people I met with at the gym want me to go down to 105, but I will just see how I feel at 115.

    you look great! i'm the same height as you and i have a big chest also. i weigh a little less than you (119lbs) but you look a lot more toned than me. so funny how people carry their weight differently! what did you do to get those awesome abs?


    & for the original poster, i started at about 150lbs and joined MFP june 2011. i was down to 115lbs by january 2012 but i stopped tracking calories shortly after that, and went back up to 123lbs. now i'm on my way back down, i was at 119lbs last week. hoping to lose another 10-15lbs! i was wearing size 10-12 before i lost the weight, and now i'm a 4-6.
