4'11 - 5'2 ladies?

bump

5'2 I started at 192! Now 148.5 with 18 pounds to go! It's been a struggle!

I'm 5'1" and 174 pounds now. My weight before baby was 186 and I gained up to 216. It's taken a lot of hard work, constant thinking about losing weight always in my head so I can watch what I eat. I'm only now adding exercise due to other circumstances/my health. My goal is 130, still borderline overweight for my height! I think that's a healthy weight for that height. Right now I'm definitely in the obese category but so excited to be nearing the high end of "overweight." I've always wished to be taller and have a longer torso - any fat just sticks out on my super short torso!

I everyone! I am 5'1" and I weigh 131. I started at 136, then went down to 122 and gained some back due to stress of TTC. Doctors told me not to exercise for months, and I hated it! Because depressed and stressed, so I am working out again as much and as hard as I want too!!! GW-120 UGW-118!

I'm a bit taller at 5'3"

SW 179 CW 144 GW 125ish or when I'm happy with the size/looks of my tummy.

I've gone from a tight size 16 to a loose size 8, since Christmas Eve last year.

Lost over 40 inches.

Hey guys! I gained 10ish pounds this year. I got up to 156/157 and now I'm back down to 150. I want to get to 130 or 135 eventually but for now my goal is 140 for spring break. It's so nice to see some people that are my height! Add me

Hi ladies,

I am 4'11, some days 5'0 when I'm over confident and I weight 208 pounds. According to my height and weight I am morbidly obese and should weight between 115 and 125 lbs. the last time that I was 130, I was 20 and it was right before I became pregnant with my son. I am 30 now. I would like to lose around 80 pounds or at least be in a size 8, I see and hear weight loss stories of women who lose 50 pounds or more but they are all 5'5 and up. 200 pounds on a five foot tall woman looks COMPLETELY different on a woman who is 5'7..and so does the weight loss. Here are my measurements as of last sat, waist: 43, hips: 50.5 and legs: 27.5 I would love to hear from you ladies who are my height or close to it who are going on this journey of weight loss OR have a success story to share. If you have pics and measurements that you feel comfortable sharing thats great! I really need the motivation and to know that I am not alone. If you are this height, what are/were your goals? Thanks in advance ladies!

I made a similiar post like this today, all the short ladies who see this feel free to add me I need all the support I can get. I'm 4'11 trying to lose around -75 more lbs to reach my goal!

This is amazing! I had no idea we had such a large group of shorties!
Just to add - those BMI charts are rather irritating. Let's face it - most adults are over 5ft (sad, but true), so generally someone around 4'11 is a teen or even child (people keep getting taller!) and if a child weighed 130+, most would consider that overweight. But as an adult woman, I don't completely agree with the recommended weight according to those charts. Women should have curves and muscles and a figure, (this is just my opinion, I don't mean to offend) and under 130 or 120 may be too small for some. Thoughts?

Omg Trina I totally agree you know I come across some 9-12 year olds our same height (4'11) lol smh

Hello shorties
I am 5ft 2 and this is my first week!
I started at 200lbs and have lost 5lbs already. I am finding it suprisingly easy so far with MFP, not sure if it'd be the same had i not been recommended it. I have a long way to go, I'd love to get down to 9st 7lb/133lbs. I definitely think shorties have the disadvantage when it comes to weight, Mine is mostly on my belly and my boobs are around a 36GG so I swear they weigh a stone each lol!
Anyway, Good luck to everyone xx

Hello ladies I am 5'2 and after YEARS of being about 105 at most about a year before I had my son I got up to 143. I gained 43lbs with my son and got up to 186 never thought I'd see that number again after he was born. I lost all the weight fast and then hit depression because of life with my ex at the time ballooned back up to 170lbs. So by the time my son was 9 months old I dedicated 90 days to get myself back and lost 50lbs! I was 120 and looked great. As with all things I thought I could handle adding a few things back, I couldn't. I went back to my old habits and although I was aware I was getting bigger and bigger I kept thinking it's no big deal I can get right back to 120 when I want to. It wasn't til I stood on the scale 2 weeks ago and saw 190(OMFG more than my pregnancy at 9 months along!!!!) and got a tiny stretch mark on my belly(never got any on my belly in my pregnancy) I am now down to 185 and although it's only 5lbs it's 5lbs I never want to see again and hoping to get down to 120-130 but mostly looking to lose inches and get in fit condition! Good luck everyone!

I am 4'11'' so hello fellow shorties. I want to lose 20 pounds. It is a matter of stubborn pride. I have a box of shame filled with clothes I can't even shimmy halfway up my thighs I want to fit into again and I have way too much money invested in bras my boobs no longer can fit into since my weight gain. But I will fit into them again dang it.

Ah! Me too

Bump

I'm a shorty and want to read this thread later

Im 5'0 and about 170 since having a baby - trying to get the 135lbs

Add me too. I am 46 years old. I am 5'0". I started a program in November 2012. I started out at 189. I am well on my way, but I am a yo-yo. I wanted to get down to 145. I am currently at 158.4. I am going on a cruise in 4 weeks and was hoping to be down to 150. I don't know that I can drop 8.4 lbs in 4 weeks.

Let's do this together ladies!!!
