    I am 4'11" and currently weigh 102. I am trying to add muscle, so I have been doing more strength training. I have cut down on cardio and do it about once or twice a week the most. By the way, I am 41 years old. :wink:

    Fellow shorties! My people! I am only 5' 2" myself.

    I am embarrassed to say that I started this journey at a whopping 296lbs. I am now down to 273lbs with well over 100 more to go. My goal weight is 150lbs as of right now, but we'll see how far I can get.

    Anyone can feel free to add me, I love making new friends and could use all the accountability!

    It's weird to be one of the "tall" ones at 5'2"!;) I started mfp in mid-December at 161 and am currently at 144. My first goal is to get back down to 136 (top end of my healthy range), but then my ultimate goal is somewhere between 128-132. I basically just want to be at a weight I can maintain easily, that's in the healthy range, and as light as I can be to help my running! I've struggled with my weight since college. I started college at about 128 pounds, and after 5 years in school and 1 year of working after, I was 192. I lost all the weight and got down to 122 with weight watchers. I then used weight watchers several years later to lose baby #1 weight, and again to lose baby #2 weight. Since baby #2 was born 3.5 years ago, I've fluctuated between 142-170. I'm loving mfp and determined to get down to goal and stay there! No more babies, so no reason to see anything about 136 ever again! I'm training for spring half marathons (running 4 half marathons this spring, have run 4 other over the last few years) and start training for my first full marathon at the end of May, so I want to be at goal weight when training starts!

    I'm 4'9. My starting weight was 152 so far I have lost about 4 lbs. My goal weight is between 101 - 105. I'm also considered obesed for my height and I can tell how my body struggles at this weight size. I am so looking forward to shedding these 50 pounds. I think it's cool that there are so many of us "petite" women in the same boat!!!! Please add me if you're intrested. :smile:

    I'm 5'2", currently weighing in at 175 and have an ultimate goal weight of somewhere between 125-130 (I tend to fluctuate 5 pounds, so as long as I'm between 125-130 I will consider myself at GOAL)

    My problem always comes from having a large bottom and a large bust. 5 years ago when I was weighing 125 I was in a 34D (TMI maybe), and was in a size 6 pants. My bust/bottom would always make me feel HUGE and I developed an eating disorder as a result thinking that somehow it would change my body shape/type/bone structure. Ugh.

    I feel your pain, lady. My advice would be to always set small goals for yourself, and don't ever give up. Stay positive, and don't beat yourself up over the little things!

    5' nothin' short-*kitten* here - I started at 211, though 2 years ago I was 215 and lost 20lb with my second attempt at Weight Watchers, but the slow rate made me lose motivation and I bobbed back up :( I started MFP in early April and I'm 20lb down again and determined to make it to about 112 this time. I've lost 55lb before so I know I can do it, I just have to avoid losing heart. My first mini-goal is to be UK size 14 by September for my holiday :)
