4'11 - 5'2 ladies?

Hello!
I'm 20 and 5'2! My SW: 245 lbs, CW: 218 lbs, GW: 138 lbs (that would put me in my normal BMI range).
I have a muscular build so I don't know if I can get down to that weight. Just looking to get healthy, fit, and look great!

I am currently sticking to MFP and 1,200 calories/day like a religion and cardio (running, elliptical) 3x a week and strength training (resistance bands mostly) 2x a week.

Feel free to add me, fellow shorties!

5 feet

109.2 lbs

bust:: 34"

waist: 26"

belly: 30.5"

Hips: 32"

Thighs (largest part): 21"

UGW: 108lbs or lower

Finally a topic that I can relate to! lol

I am 5'2 and my current weight is 131. My highest weight was 178 when I was pregnant. My current goal weight is between 120-125 pounds. I joined MFP in March of this year and was at 151 pounds. Trust me, I totally understand how frustrating weight loss/gain is because like many other women on here have said, every extra bit shows on us shorties!!! :grumble: Whatever you do, don't give up! It is definitely possible to get to a weight that you feel comfortable and happy with (I personally don't like the BMI weights because some of them are a bit unrealistic! I am supposed to be between 101.2 and 136.7 pounds. I could never in my wildest dreams imagine getting down to 101 pounds!) Here are my stats:

SW: 151--> now 131
Waist: 33 --> now 29.5
Hips: 39 --> now 35.5
Thighs: 22 --> now 19.5
Neck: 13.5 --> now 12
Arms: 11 --> now 9.25

I started out in size 13 jeans and I just recently got into size 9 in jeans. Please feel free to add me for additional support and/or ideas.

Give this a good read.

I'm about 5'0" and I started off 129 lbs. about last year--then I started losing some, had an internship, gained a little back. It's been waffling since April of this year when I determined I was done with not being able to fit into my workpants and refusing to buy more.

So, I'm down to 109.5 as of this morning. I'm shooting for 105, but really, I'll take just about anything under 108. And I mean, at our height, it's almost like double the weight with every pound. I've found intermittent fasting (within slightly relaxed rules) working well for me, along with the C25K program.

5'1 with shoes on! I'm currently on a program called Metabolic Research Centers (MRC) I've done it in the past and have done well on it. My goal is to lose another 42 pounds by April, just in time for summer!!

Yeah, here we go, am 62" and prev wt in March was 165, started on this site at 130 4 days ago and goal wt is 112. Exercise does not come easy with my health restrictions and am a little envious of all of those that are able to exercise to their hearts content. My path will be different, but just as effective. I am a warrior and I am on a mission. Yeah, damn straight, going to do this!:devil:

I am 5'3.5" I hope I can join in this conversation too . I have always felt like a short, especially living in Denmark. I am 7 lbs away from being within my normal weight range. These last few pounds have been torturous. I want them off before the new year so I can focus on getting fit and maintaining instead of yet another losing weight resolution and am working really hard at it. My highest was 230. I am now at 150. Ultimately I would love to be around 125. I will be happy being classified at normal weight for now. I can't wait for it!!! Other shorties are free to add me. I so wish I was taller so that I could eat more lol

im a towering 5ft and my weight has gone up since i last posted yes every pound shows on us shorties and charts show me as morbidly obese but charts dont allow for muscle weight ever since meeting my boyfriend who is an avid hiker i have hiked over 400 miles in the last 6 months and im not talking casual day walks im talking hikes up the side of mtns here in the mtns of east tn. my waist has gone from 34" to 29" and thanks to the many hikes i can leg press over 300 lbs so i dont care what the scales say im in great shape plus im a 36 D which adds to the weight im sure

I started here on March 31st, 2012 at 238.8lb. I am 5'2" tall, 48 years old, and have lost 49lb and 100.5". You really CAN do this.

A few things I have learnt on my journey so far:
1. measure yourself as soon as you can, and keep track of it. If I had not done so, I would have lost my mind, because I was not seeing
weight coming off, but the inches were.

2. log everything you eat or drink.

3. There is NO such thing as a "cheat day". "Cheating" is a shortcut to a goal... you will not get to your goal by any shortcut, therefore,
you are NOT "cheating"... you are lapsing. I do not have a lapse day. IF I want to eat something, decide... do I want that particular
thing, or do I want to lose weight? I am not saying you have to deprive yourself, but at the beginning you need to evaluate things.

4. Don't just go for hundreds of MFP friends.. quality over quantity... support each other. Don't expect support and not give it.

5. Remember.. despite how accurate your bathroom scales are.. THEY LIE!

6. Use measuring cups and kitchen scales. Your idea of a serving, is probably more than it should be.

7. Keep active!

8. Do DRINK THE WATER! It really does make a difference.

9. Make small changes at first...and add more. They will become habits. Believe me.

10. Remember... you have choices. How badly do you WANT it? NO EXCUSES! To quote Yoda "Do or not, there is no try".

Believe in yourself, you are stronger than you think.

I wish you all the very best on your journey to a healthier happier you.
