    Wow. I'm also 4'10.5" and started out at 154 pounds, now down to around 105. My goal is 95, so close!

    I do weight lifting twice a week and cardio on other days. I "eat clean" which simply means a lot of fruit, veg, whole grain and low fat protein sources.

    Currently eating 1600 calories per day and seeing changes to my body after staying around 105 for a couple of months (eating too much, didn't realize it).

    I'm 4'11 and my highest weight was around 137 or so. In the beginning of March I started actively trying to lose weight and started at 132.6, and this Sunday I weighed myself and was at 126.8! I lost almost 6 pounds in one month by eating less calories, along with doing an aerial class every Saturday (I did this before I started trying to lose weight, but I didn't count calories so it didn't make too much of a difference.) I'm almost out of the overweight BMI range for my height! :happy:

    I plan to start adding pull-ups (or at least trying to get pull-ups) into my routine once the pull-up bar I ordered gets delivered. My goal is 105!

    5'0" over here!

    Started out at 164 (162 was my starting weight for MFP), now 133. Aiming for 110ish, but it'll be based more on the mirror than the scale.

    I do Zumba 3 times a week, and weight lifting class 1-2 times a week. Presently nursing an ankle injury I acquired in Zumba (bad sub :grumble:), but can't wait to get back at it!

    5' even here! Not sure what I weigh. I've lost before, went from 147 down to 111 at my lowest. Starting over, *sigh*. Aiming for 125 right now.

    I'm 5 ft and when i got my butt back in gear weighed 174. Now I am down to 118. Now almost fitting into 8's from a very loose 14. So, excited! I weigh less now than I did when I met my husband 15 yrs ago. After 3 wonderful kids, too. I love this!

    I am 4'11" and 11 years ago before the birth of my daughter I was 93lbs. I gained almost 40 pounds during my pregnancy and fluctuated between 115-125 the last 5 years. After the birth of my son in 2011, I was back down to 115, but slowly over the past 2 years the weight crept back on and I was at my heaviest ever at 135. 12 weeks ago I decided enough was enough and was digusted with myself. I have been on a 1200 daily diet, working out 3 times a week with a personal trainer and incorporating some pilates and zumba. I also started the 30DS 3 days ago. So far I am down 13 pounds to 122 and lost quite a few inches. My first goal is to weigh 115 again, but my ultimate goal is 110-112. I totally under estimated how hard this would be and get quite frustrated at times but I keep pushing.

    Anyone is free to add me. I need people to keep me motivated!

    I'm also 5' and reading so many wonderful posts is helping to kick me into gear and start moving again. This Winter has been a long one and had made we rethink my original goal of 105. But no more, my goal is firm now and I'm going to get there! 51 gone, 49 to go.

    Yay fellow shorties :)

    I'm 19 and 4"10. I didn't realise until recently my BMI was so overweight (halfway to obese, eek!), i'm 135 and planning to get back into the middle of the healthy section at 101. Seems tiny compared to my friends but I guess my height must make much more of a difference than I realised!

    Wow! I have been looking for people who are short.... Well I am 28..... I became chubby in middle school and last year just started to lose.
    I am now 117-120. My goal is 105.
    It's been a long, hard journey....but now I feel so much better about myself, and have a lot of confidence.
    Even some guys are noticing me ( I know that sounds juvenile but I am 28 and have never even kissed a guy, or gone on a date, if only one would ask me out). Anyways well, this is exciting.

    I am glad there are short people because short people understand the weight fluctuations of short people.

    I'm 5'0" and weighed 131.5 mid-march, am 125.6 now, and am trying to get down to around 110.

    I have been starting to exercise, but have only fit in about 1-2 a week (working on a set schedule instead of just saying I'll try to do more). I am also working on staying away from processed food (on an off for the last month) and I feel much better on the days I stick with it, than the days where I cheat.

    Wow I feel so tall suddenly. LOL I'm 5'1". In 2005 I lost a ton of weight doing weight watchers and walking/running. I went from about 155 to 118 and was wearing a size 4. I stopped exercising and started eating junk again and gained it all back plus a few extra pounds.

    I'm now doing it again but this time using MFP. I have gone from 164 to 148 since January. I've logged on every day for the last 100 days and am just about finished with level 1 of Shred. I also walk 3.5 at least 4 days a week with a friend. I have made my first goal of 16 pounds lost and now am working on my second goal of 14 pounds. I'd like to be anywhere between 120-125. That would put me in a size 4. Would love to be friends with more shorties.
