    I was 5'1... til my doctor said I was 5' and a quarter inch last year :(

    Highest weight: 185+ lbs
    Lowest weight: 116 lbs
    Current weight: 130 lbs

    MY STORY: My whole life I was overweight/obese - but I was never teased or made fun of in high school so I never felt the emotional need to lose the weight, although I knew I needed to. It wasn't until June 2008 (I was 21 at the time) when my college roommate wanted to go on the master cleanse diet to lose some weight for graduation. The entire apartment decided to support her, so we did it for 10 days and I ended up losing 15 lbs. This is what started it. I started working out and plateued for a couple months only losing 5 more. I was a vegetarian at the time, so I decided to take the full plunge into veganism and within 8 months I had lost 48 more lbs (from eating on a strict vegan diet and working out). I have since stopped being vegan and have gained back about 12-14 lbs and hover at 128-130 lbs over time at 5'0/5'1. So now I'm on MFP to healthily lose those 15lbs again and maybe even more.

    Long story short... good luck on your journey - you can so do this! Add me!

    P.S. you look gorg!

    I'm 22 and also 5'2". At my highest, i weighed 197 [in august 2011]. I currently weigh 168 and my goal is to be between 130 and 135. I was set in my ways when i first started [in march 2011] and took control when I hit my highest weight. I know that if I can lose 29lbs in almost a year, then anyone can do this!

    We can be friends...I'm always willing to support and motivate because I know that that's the most important thing [no one want to feel like their on this journey alone] :flowerforyou:
  • I'm similar...except I only have one boy, and have an extra 5 lbs. I completely understand stress getting the best of you! That's been me all year. Good luck!
  • Im back! I tore my ACL a few months ago while running and that really effected my weight loss and excercise. I have gained back all my weight plus 10 pounds. I am ready to start logging my food again and getting some excercise in that i am able to. If you want to add me.

    4'11" here. I am at my highest ever at 170 and am shooting for 120. I don't have children, but stress tends to get the best of me. Lately, I've been doing much better with controlling my eating and have lost a few pounds. It's just getting to the exercise portion that I'm working on now. I have made a goal to start running and would like to run a half-marathon by December next year. I wish you luck on your journey and will send you a request!

    You can do it! I'm 5'1" and weighed over 170, dropped 60 lbs and have maintained for over a year. My kids are grown but if I know when I was young that all that matters is calories I could probably have dropped this fat even when I was raising kids. I always had time for exercise. Anyway, if I can do it with all my older lady health issues anyone can. :)

Now that we are done having childern i want to fit back into my clothes i could fit into before childern. I am only 5'1 and 193 pounds. I could really use some more friends on here.

    Feel free to add me :flowerforyou: I am 5'2" too and at my heaviest I was 188 - I am currently 163.5, wanting to get to 125-135. I am a mom of 2 - soon to be grandma, working a desk job, and the lbs have slowly crept up over the years. I recently got the BodyMedia Fit Link, and have been using it about 2½ weeks, so far I am down 5lbs. I could use friends that are "short in stature" with similar stats!!

    And she has pictures to prove it! Being 46, myself, California Girl, at age 51 is a great inspiration!

    I'm vertically challenged, myself, so anyone here, please feel free to add me as well! I am committing myself to getting some type of exercise every single day and MFP helps me to stay accountable...when you look at these success stories on here they are amazingly motivating..absolutely unbelievable! Good Luck :)
  • I just started this today. Looking for friends on the same page as me. I am 200 pounds. My goal weight is 140. I have always been a yo- yo loser. I am ready to change that. i'll send you a request.

    Hey guys. I am 4"11 or so the Dr says but I always considered myself to be 5'0 currently 210 lbs down from 271 up from 182 in June(I can't even explain the gain) I have not changed clothing sizes or anything so go figure. I thought I would join in on this I am a little over most of you all on weight either way hi!!!!
  • I can definitely relate to this! I am 5'0 and weigh close to 190, which is the heaviest in my life. When I went to the doctors about two weeks ago, I gained lke 9 pounds from a month before. I started to get really scared that 190 is close to 200! This was a good reality check, because it moved me to do something about it. I am going back to my doctor in a few weeks knowing I have been really eating healthy and exercising. Hope the scale moves down a little!! I will send you a friend request. I know how hard it can be to be short and heavier. We can do it girl!:smile:
