    Hi. I am 5'2.5". Highest weight was 275+ in 1998 (stopped weighing so may have been higher). From 2009-2010 lost 98 lbs to a low of 121. Size 26 to size 4 - yay! My goal was 120. Had surgery in 2010 and have been unable to exercise as I had been and have been yo-yoing for the last couple of years alternating eating and fasting. Not a lifestyle I can maintain. Started Dukan Diet last month at 174 with a renewed goal of 120. I have lost 22 lbs so far. My goal is to feel better and fit in all the clothes I bought in 2010.

    I'm 5'2". My highest I was 195, my lowest 98, though for a few years I was a consistent 120 and a size two, though I was skinny fat. This time I started at 152 and want to be back in the 120s, and fit in my size 2-4s again, but the exact number I don't care about.

    What what!?

    Hi there lil shorty. I'm a shorty too and your goal is totally doable. Welcome to MFP the tool for winners and smarties and hope you have fun on here and figure out the tools the site offers to make it fun and useful for you. Here's to size 4:drinker: my goal size too, although not as soon as summer, more likely winter.

    Hello! I'm actually in between 5'1" and 5'2" :) I was 130 in high school and when I graduated I thought I could keep eating whatever I want which didn't work out too well. I'm now 160 (started at 175) trying to get back to 130

    I'm 5'3" and 120ish, trying to maintain. I wear a size 0-2. Just wondering where everyone buys clothes(and bras) when they get below 120 and size 0? Maybe I'm just heavy for my size? I don't consider myself a super tiny person, though I am fit, good muscle mass, low/normal bf.

    I am 5''2 and a half and am 20 years old. I log everyday even if I know I am way over or had crap food for the day.
    I started at 155 pounds a few weeks ago on MFP and have been logging for 50 days straight now.
    I am now down to 147-145.5 on a typical day.

    Feel free to add me, but please send me a message or I will decline.

    5'2 1/2" and CW 142! GW 115-120.


    Highest was 160 about 4 years ago *and* 8 years ago. 8 years ago I dropped it down to 119, 4 years ago I think I only got to around 130 and decided it was fine. I got back up toward 152 and totally knew I needed to do something about it. I'm only a few months into working on this hardcore on MFP for the first time with community and trying to record my exercise more exactly along with eating.

    I'm still figuring out what calorie numbers I should be eating regularly, because that whole thing with MFP/BMI/TDEE is all different and there are so many conflicting opinions. I'm totally up for being added by people though!

    I am 5' 2" if I stand up VERY straight. Just joined MFP yesterday to check it out, having been using another website for a couple of years. My highest weight was 203, now down to 152. My goal (for now at least) is to get to 135. I doubt that I can get much lower than that at my age (58).

    5'2" and just turned 40, checking in; time to get back in shape, so I just joined MFP last week and would love some fellow "pocket sized" friends for support! :-)

    For most of my life, my weight was stable. Then, two years ago, I had a change in prescription meds that seems to have reset my body to about 5 or 6 lbs heavier. Stopped the meds, but didn't lose the weight--instead, I kept gaining. Just an1 or two lbs every year, but that trend has got to stop or I will be truly overweight.

    So, now my goal is 10 lbs (122.5 down to 112 lbs or so), or a little heavier but with more muscle. It doesn't seem like much, but those "last 10 lbs" (even when they are the ONLY 10 lbs) are notoriously hard to get rid of. (I also need to get stronger--I just about died doing yoga today--waaaaay too many planks and upward facing dogs for my poor, weak arms and shoulders to handle....)

    5'2" and 100. Used to be 90 to 97 through my late 30s. In recent years, my weight has gone as high as 108, after the holidays, but it settled to 101 to 103. After doing Fast Five, an IF program for a month, it seems to have settled around 100, more or less. I've considered trying to go lower, but that would be an effort and there's no need beyond vanity for me to go lower.

    I'm 52", up to 186 pounds, ugh! Desperately trying to lose weight and get in shape. I would love to get down to a size 4 too.

    My all-time high, 112, was caused by a prescription drug. I insisted on going off it, which was the smartest thing I've ever done in regard to my weight. I was terrified that I would become overweight and I felt disgusting at that weight. I know that 112 seems like nothing to some people, but it was 20 pounds heavier than my average weight during much of my life and my weight had always been pretty stable. I also don't carry extra weight well.
