    Hi! I am 5 ft too! I am about 106 pounds, but I know that my body fat percentage is a bit high. I just want to get fit and not run out of breath when I walk up the school stairs :D

    I'm also 5'2" and 100 pounds working on continued fitness (not weight loss). I don't consider myself skinny fat. But, this looks like a good fitness group for people that don't want to lose weight.

    I am obviously a little late to this post but I am new to the group. I am in your boat almost exactly. I am 5ft tall and currently 117 pounds. My goal weight is 105 but I will settle for 110. I am wondering what you are all doing to lose those few pounds. I find it very difficult to do so. MFP suggests I eat 1200 calories. I just can't do it, I love food and wine too much. I end up between 1400 - 1700. I am usually able to run and do either abs or very quick and light free weights on my lunch break at the gym in my office. This workout is never more than 45 minutes. I also try and take a yoga class once a week and run at least once on the weekend. I'm in CT so the winter can be my nemesis though. I tried a boxing class last night and loved it so that once a week should at least start the weight loss process for me.

    it sounds like you are on the right track. if you workout like you say, eating 1400-1700 should be fine.
    Maybe look into getting a HRM and just follow your calories closer to aid in weight loss.
    I love boxing type workouts too. I feel it made a different when I was doing that once a week.

    I'm 5'3, 106 lbs, and not too concerned about the number on the scale, as I am just wanting to be a stronger, faster, healthier person, and hopefully gain some muscle definition in the process, because I'm all jiggles right now. I am actually not really sure if I weigh 106 anymore, because I haven't stepped on a scale in a loooooooong time LOL. My pants still fit the same, so I assume I probably still weigh around 106.

    I find that on rest days, I eat about 1200-1400 calories (I usually still do some weight training on my rest days, just ab work or some lunges, nothing too intense). On days I work out, I do running or a cardio sculpt class (calisthenics and weights etc), and I bump up my calorie intake to at least 1700, or else I am too fatigued to get a good workout, and I poop out halfway. I would say it's a good thing to not reduce your calorie intake to the point where you don't have energy.

    I hope that's a typo! 70 lbs is scary skinny, even on a 5 foot woman.
