    Hi -

    I'm 5" - 178.8 pounds.

    I would love to lose at least 45 pounds. I don't think I can ever weigh what the guidelines say I should.

    Hi! 5'0" here. Weighed 110-130 most of my life and then had a baby and I'm about 160 now. Trying to get back down to 130 and then possibly 120 if I can!

    My license says I am, but I'm really 4'11" shhhh. Started 1830ish. Currently 177, would like to go down to 130 or so, then evaluate. But, I have an interim goal of losing at least 10 by 3/30.

    I am barely 5'. I started at 160 (pregnancies) and am now down to 119 where I'm happy. The bad/good thing about being so short is that the weight appears on you fast, but you can lose sizes quickly once you start losing fat (ie: clothing gets very expensive). I started at size 14 pants and am now at size 2, but I went from 6 to 2 without losing pounds, just fat.

    I'm 4'10" so I guess I'm the shortest so far! I lost 50 or so from May til now. I was 185 and right around 135-137 (can't seem to keep those pesky 2lbs off!). I like to say 50 lbs lost!!!! I am shooting for 120 so I still have 15-20 to go. I was a size 16 but now fit into most 6s comfortably and some size 4s. Would love to be in 2s or 0s like my twin sister ( I was always the heavy one).

    Working on toning and losing the fat / doing some cardio and strength training. Might try P90X.

    I'm 5"1", my highest weight was 173 (was wearing 12's), now i'm down to 158 (wearing 10's). I was confortable when i was about 150ish. I don't recall ever being less than 140 or less than a size 8 (even in high school when i thought i was sooooooo fat). I'd be happy with 140-145. I lost most of my weight just getting to aerobics classes and tracking food. i always seem to go over my calories :( and the weight comes off sooooo slow....but at least i FEEL better and i'm not gaining!

    Hi, I am 5" - 180 pounds right now. started out at 190. i am 12-14 US size.

    being short makes losing weight a lot harder b/c we burn less w/ exercise and our BMR is lower. we need less food to start off.

    also, every pound shows up so much more on a shorter frame :(
