    Hey, I'm bri and I'm pretty much 5 feet. (4'11 and 3/4ths to be exact.) Lol. So I definitely know how you feel. 10 pounds on short people look like A LOT more. I have a pretty big weight loss goal and new to my fitness pal. So if anyone wants to add me, feel free. :)

    I'm right at 5 ft and get how you feel as well. I have a hefty weight loss goal, but I'm slowly chipping away at it. Feel free to add me!

    Hey friends! Please add me! I am 5'0" and I can TOTALLY relate to the myriad dilemmas we short people face when it comes to weight loss... a tiny gain or loss looks so obvious, and we're not even supposed to be eating that many calories a day even if we exercise, so it's hard to create a deficit while still maintaining a nourishing diet. This also makes gaining weight super easy because a tiny snack can put us over our limits. :*(

    Short people, unite!

    I don't think my husband totally ever got this until one day after a race he asked me how many calories I had burned and when I told him, he said "I'm sorry". He's 6'6" so he has no idea. I'm only 5'1 so I know the pain of being short. Feel free to add me.

    4'11"

    So far this year I've lost about 10 pounds, and it actually made a huge difference. I'm down a couple inches around my hips and waist, and I'm fitting into jeans that were uncomfortably snug a year ago.

    Being short definitely does make it challenging. It's great to see so many other people on this site. I am 5'1 23 yo. I started at 137 and am now 107. I would like to be 100-103. Feel free to add me:)

    I'm 5'1" and, yes! A little weight gain can look like a lot! BUT on the more positive side, losing five pounds makes a big difference too! YAY for shorties!:)

    Hi shorties!!

    I'm 4'11." Feel free to add me everyone. I love having fellow short girls as friends on here because I always get discouraged when I see all of my normal sized mfp friends' huge calorie burns. I could do the same workout or exercise for the same amount of time and burn like 1/5 of the calories :(

    Any of you, feel free to add me! I would feel so much better if I had friends with the same kinds of goals as me. I see everyone with like, 80-lb weight loss goals, and I just can't relate, because something like that just doesn't work for someone my size. A year or two ago, I was somewhere around 115 and 120, and I'd like it so much if I were around 100.

    Hi everyone! I'm 5'1 and weigh 168, I just lost 22 lbs, 6 months after I had my son. My best friend is 5'6 and weighs the same but she looks way fitter than me. My weight always seems to be in my belly and face even before I had a baby. Looking for some friends for support and to relate with me.

    I am looking for friends that are around 5'0" because then we can compare things that work and don't. It is hard to do that with people that are not around that hieght. Not trying to offend anyone. It is just hard being so short. 5 lbs looks like 20.:wink:

    I totally agree with that last comment! People at work keep telling me things like, "but you're so petite!" "why do you need to lose weight?" and "you want to be 120 lbs.??? but that's so little!!!" Obviously, they don't realize that for a woman my height - 5'2-1/2" - my age - 48 - and bone structure - small frame - carrying around 140 lbs. was TOO much and it made me feel sick!

    I'm at around 129 lbs. right now, so feel free to add me if you'd like! :smile:

    Hi,

    I'm in the 5 foot club too.

    I can totally relate about the breast issue, however I had a breast reduction a couple of years ago and the confidence it gave me was amazing.

    Now all I need to work on is my problem area (the stomach of course) if us short girls put on weight around out midriff then we look pregnant! People that are taller, have a longer area and carry weight better.

    Feel free to add me :)

    I find that zumba and swimming works best, as you don't even realise you're working out when you're having fun :) x
