in Introduce Yourself
Hello! New to MFP! Looking to share some support. :)

I used to be a solid 130, but gained about 12 lbs after my first year of marriage. At this point, I'm not really concerned about my weight as a number, and I'm just looking to burn off fat, and gain solid, athletic muscle.

5'2", currently 137. I'd like to be a size 4 before the end of the summer.

    Yay! I'm 5'2" (almost 5'3".. almost) as well. I used to be 130 too, but work, college and getting married and comfortable took its toll, and I packed back on 30 pounds (I initially had lost 100lbs). I'm down eight already, so that's encouraging. I'd also like to get to around a size 4. Would love to get to 115-120lbs, but that might be pushing it--lowest I've ever been is 128.

    High five!

    Awesome state of mind!! I used to weigh myself A LOT. It took time to shake that habit but I now know that a lower bf% and stronger body means everything to me. Screw the scale! :drinker:

    Btw, I'm 5'1 .5" @ 112lbs. No GW.

    I'm 5'2.5" and am at my heaviest. I'm at 180 and looking to get back to 120. I had success a few years ago and lost some focused and put everything I lost back on plus more. I'm feeling super inspired and focused again. MFP helps keep me motivated.

    Hi. I'm 5'2". My highest weight was 252. I'm only down about 10 from that now, so I have a long road ahead of me.
    Always looking for encouraging friends, rather short or tall! :happy:

    Hi, I'm 5'2" and currently 126lbs hoping to be 115 by the end of the summer. So difficult to loose small amount of weight when you are shorter. Working on it. Down 3 lbs since April.

    I'm 5'2" and my CW is 137, I would like to lose another 10-15 lbs...the first 15 lbs seemed to come off pretty easily but now the rest seems impossible! I started doing 5:2 fasting about 2.5 weeks ago so hopefully that helps! Good luck fellow shorties! :flowerforyou:
