    I am 5'3 and at my heighest I was 220 pounds, I couldn't believe that I had gotten myself get so high :( I feel like I hold my weight really well so it never really bothered me but one day it just clicked that I need to do something and when I put my mind to something I am full force. Since September 2012 I have gone tot he gym 5-6x a week and pushed myself and started eating better as well. My husband really likes to eat and he still does so its really hard because he never gains anything...I have learned so much in this journey but I am so happy and feel wonderful. I am 9 pounds away from my original goal but now I am really just focusing on toning, I LOVE weight training and hope to be in the size I want my September of this year! I am always up to new friends so if you are needing a little extra motiviation BRING IT ON!! You all are AMAZING and keep up the fantastic work my sweets :heart:

    Hi all! I'm 4'8. Just started here last week. At my highest I was 192, lost 50 lbs and gained 40 of it back due to Peritoneal Dialysis. Now I'm working to lose 50lbs again so I can get re-activated on the transplant list. Anyone here can add me, I'm always looking for people to inspire me and keep me on track :smile:

    Wow, this is the kind of thread I needed to see this morning.

    I'm 5-foot and started at 287 currently in the 190s wearing 16-20 pxl-xxl depending on brand. I don't have true progress pics and that kind of makes me a little sad. Oh well, I have the clothes I wore so I'm at least going to put them back on when I'm done!

    Hi;

    I'm 4'9"; I don't have any pictures, but last year at this time I was 184 and now I'm 156! I am following the Petite Advantage Diet, a book written by Jim Karas. It is the only thing that has worked for me in a very long time. I want to lose more weight, and for many reasons, have not really progressed in the last few months. But I'm a believer, and if I can lose, so can you!

    Hi all shorties!

    I am 5 foot nothing, 204 lbs now. Ultimate GW 110 and working GW 50 lbs lost.

    I can't post pictures yet as I am still new to MFP and have not lost enough weight to make a good comparison, but hope to do so by the end of summer. I relate to what many of you wrote - it is frustrating to have a lot of weight on a small frame. For me, I am sick of clothes just not fitting right. My 9 year old thought I looked like the description of the Hobbit after she read the book for the first time (no hair on my feet though - thank goodness)!

    Please feel free to add me as a friend so we can encourage each other to toward better fun-sizedness!

    I'm so happy to see all of the "fun-sized" people. I am 5ft tall. I started this at 229. I had been 30 pounds down and the last two years of full time job, part time job plus finishing my bachelor's just allowed me to creep my way back up.

    Time to get down to business now! I am fighting the letdown of not being on the go 60-75 hours a week but at the same time, it frees up time to plan my food, cook my food and exercise. So, I'm trying to escape the "blahs" and get moving. I think I am beginning to see light at the end of my tunnel.

    I plan to log in and motivate and be motivated!!!

    You all are doing fabulous and are an inspiration!
