    Hi, I have just joined MFP today and I am also a shortie looking to lose weight. Like you I'm 5ft but I am looking to lose about 4 stone as I have piled on the pounds in the last few years after an accident but now looking to get a bit more active as hopefully my leg will hold out now!!! XX

    Hi Shortie! LOL I'm 5' 1 1/2 inches tall. I'm always being called 'shortie'. I'd look forward to being friends on MFP. By the way, yesterday a friend of mine who is tall--5' 7" she and I went for a walk............I'm telling you my short little legs had to work at least twice as much as her one long stride with those long legs of hers. What a workout!!! LOL

    Betsyirene.....interesting....My Dad used to call me Betsy and my middle name is Irene! :wink:

    Hi! I'm a shortie, too. It's always seemed harder for me to lose weight because my base calorie requirement is so low it's hard to cut enough out to make it count. I just started almost three weeks ago on MFP and a new nutrition plan which seems to be working. I hope so anyway. Good luck to you, too! If you'd like, I'd welcome a friend who is in the same situation.

    Hi Shorties! Wow it's so hard to meet other people on the more extreme end of the shortie scale. I'm 5-0 and frustrated cuz I'm 102 pounds. I;ve set my minimum limit at 95 lbs (that's within the range of healthy) but want the best body I can achieve. That doesn't mean just weight loss, it means strength training too.

    If anyone's interested in joining me on my journey or discussing methods for petite women to develop their best bods, please message me.

    Hiya :D this is my first forum post on here. I've only been on MFP for about a week now...I'm short too about 5'2" and I need to lose about 20 pounds, but 30 would be nice. I'm just taking it step by step and see how I feel not the number on the scale. Feel free to add me, I'd love support and am wanting to give it too :)
