    There's something so nice about seeing all of you 5' 2" women! I usually feel like the shortest woman around in my social circle. I am currently 137.5 and want to wind up at 115-120. I'm a dedicated logger-inner and exerciser. Currently doing 30 Day Shred - about to advance to Level 2. Don't have many MFP friends, so would be happy to be added. I'm going to go back in this thread and add some of you! Thanks for the post.

    I'm also 5'2. My highest weight was 225, but I'm around 210 now. I've been struggling a lot over the past year or so with depression, which has not helped my weight loss. I'm now trying once again to lose weight and get healthier. My goal weight is around 125, but really I'm just looking to be healthy and happy with my body. I'm always looking for new friends on here, so feel free to add me if you want (:

    i'm 5'2" also... can't claim "baby weight," since my "baby" is a senior in HS! The last 3 years have been a serious mess (lost job, house, got divorce, went back to college, oldest daughter died in a car accident, reunited with hs bf, got married... in that order), and i am the heaviest i have ever been. i know what i need to do, but for some reason am not doing it. i need MOTIVATION! i'm sick and tired of feeling huge!

    Hey :) I am 5 ft nothing, My highest weight was 220. This was a few years ago , lost some weight here and there but haven't been under 180 since high school... I am 27 now. It sucks for short people who let themselves go to far, since our healthy BMI seems so far away and impossible to achieve. Apparently I am suppose to be at about 128 lbs minimum to be at a healthy weight... very far away. I got back up to 215, got a horrible stomach flu and could only eat very little and things that sounded greasy made me nauseous. So I said , Jenn it's been two weeks, stick with this!!!! So for the first month I just ate healthy , didn't watch portion sizes or anything , just healthy. Well , the weight was coming off , I just wanted to speed things up before I got discouraged. Well here I am about a month and a half later down 17 lbs!! It feels great to have people notice already , to notice it in my clothes , and excited to see what is in the future for me. It is tough , we have our ups and downs and sometimes it's going to seem like a war you cannot win with your body. Keep going EVERYONE though cause I know in the long run , we will achieve success!!!!!!!!! O and add me if you like, always looking for new friends to keep each other motivated!

    I'm 5' 2.5" (hey, that half means a lot!). My SW was 208 lbs, CW is 195 and GW is around 145. About 8 years ago I did Weight Watchers online and got down to 135 lbs. Unfortunately all that weight crept back plus another 10. I realize now I was eating too little for my daily normal activity level, not getting enough protein and focusing too much on cardio without incorporating strength training. It just wasn't sustainable for me and I slipped back into bad habits. This time I'm doing mainly strength training and trying to eat at a more appropriate level for me (I work on a horse farm so I do a lot of walking and some heavy lifting 5 days a week for my job... 1200 cals just doesn't work for me even eating back exercise calories). I'm trying to do this the healthy and sustainable way this time. :smile:
