4'11 - 5'2 ladies?

hi everyone! i'm 4'11 and almost 24 years old. my highest weight was 148lbs and my lowest recent weight was 115lbs. every time i hit 115lbs i have some sort of crisis and immediately gain back at least 10lbs! it happened in april, my dog died and then i went on an eating spree and quit logging. then last month hurricane sandy flooded my house, destroyed my neighborhood, and left me without heat or hot water for about two weeks -- i gained 12lbs in 13 days from eating processed food and being unable to exercise (too dangerous outside, no room inside).

my original goal weight was 115 but considering every time i hit that number, something awful happens and i start gaining again, who knows! right now i'm size 4-6 depending on the clothing but i still feel a little chubby. i think 110 would be perfect for me and i hope to one day find out!

i know i may not have had as much to lose as some of you ladies, but i can certainly say that LOGGING EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY KEY for my weight loss. i am a mindless snacker and i eat all day, so if i don't record every morsel of food, i tend to overeat and then gain.

good luck to everyone. feel free to add me (but please send a message if you do!)

I am also 4'11.
Age 32
Mother of twin 12 year old girls and a 10 month old son.
Highest weight: approx 300
Lowest weight: 125
Current weight: 147

Working on getting to 130. Once I'm at 130 I will continue to work towards another goal.

I just want to feel healthy again.

Feel free to add me as a friend.

5" even and trying to get to 148lbs and then decide how much more I need to lose. Feel free to add me as a friend. ;o)

I hear ya. I'm 5'2 and weight around 142 right now. My highest weight was around 180. My goal is around 125.

And yes, I get bummed out sometimes when I see girls who are 5 inches taller than me and weight the exact same weight and they have perfectly flat little tummies. It can be quite discouraging, but I believe we all go through the same type of struggle no matter how tall we are. I like being short and petite and wouldn't change it for anything. I'll love it even more when I reach my goal weight

Yay I'm short, too! I've always been overweight. I remember the day I realized I was the fat kid. In high school I went from 196 to 152, and I was SO proud of that. The more socially involved I became, the weight started coming back. By the time I graduated high school and started college, I was back up to 165, then 175 when I got married. After two children, not trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and just plain laziness, I was up to 236. I ask myself constantly how I could ever have let that happen!

My husband (USAF) deployed to Iraq for six months November 2010-June 2011 and I lost thirty pounds. Then he got back and slowly I gained back most of it. I am back on track now. I SWEAR this is the LAST time I am starting over. I will get all the way to the end this time. I'm not giving up again.

I'm currently 219, and my current goal is 150. I know 150 is acheivable, and I think I'll just reassess once I get there. I workout at least 3 times a week at the gym and an additional two days at home and I'm at 1200 calories per day. If I workout, I do eat SOME calories back, but not all of them.

Please feel free to add me!

I'm 5'1" and 27 yrs. I started MFP last January after not losing any baby weight after my son was born (it seemed to just fly off after my daughter!). I started at 163 and after a few months was down to 145. In the late spring my father in law passed and it was a terrible time for my family and all I did was stress eat and quit working out. Got on the scales for the 1st time in months (after my pants no longer could even zip...) and I was back to 163 again. How frustrating. So I started last week all over again! My 1st goal is 130 and then I will go from there. I was very fit in high school and never went below 113 because I have always been very muscular. If I could get there again that would be great!

I am currently 5'0 and weigh 157lbs. My ultimate goal would be 135lbs and then see what I can loose from there. I started in Feb 8 2012 and have currently lost 53lbs. I've hit a wall and am looking for some encouragement. Feel free to add me if you guys would like! Gen

I'm 5'2", and I've lost 40lbs since February. You are right- 40lbs shows dramatically on a body in our height range.

You can do this!! Add me if you like!

Good morning fellow tiny but mighty ladies

I'm 5'1" and started at just over 140 pounds, which was a size 8 for me


I've since lost about 30 pounds. I'm maintaining my goal weight right now at 110 pounds. I feel comfortable here, and it's easy to maintain, so I'm just working on fitness goals and lowering my body fat percentage.

Starting measurements:

36-33-41 (approximately .... trying to remember from weight watchers)

My current measurements:

33-23.5-36 (I'm mostly booty lol)

This was mostly accomplished by doing cardio and ballet workouts at first. Now I've moved on to free weights and endurance cycling. Basically, just sticking to things I found entertaining is what worked for me.

You can do anything you set your mind to!
