    Fun sized! Yay! Much better than "short".

    I'm 5'0 and need to lose about 40 pounds to hit my first goal. Where I'll end up is unknown since I haven't been that low since before puberty and have no clue what I will feel like that small! Everything I read "suggests" I should weigh less than 120, but my mind just can't comprehend that number!! :noway:

    I LMAO because my nickname at the track (motorcycles) is fun size and it's on my motorcycle!

    I'm 5'1" and currently 179 and want to be 150 by end of year and 135 eventually. My highest weight was 235 and I've been that twice in my life, in my early 20's and in Feb 2012.

    I too can't see me ever getting below 135 (heck even 150 seems little to me!!!). I've been heavy most of my adult life except for the brief periods after I had lost 100 pounds once, 70 pounds once, 50 pounds once and now I'm doing it the right way and am down 56 pounds so far. I know what I did wrong those other times and know how to do it right this time. It's definitely taking me longer, but it should last this time.

    I wish all you fun sized girls luck with getting healthy and fit and losing the excess weight!

    What did you set your activity level to? Mine is set to sedentary, because I work at a desk all day. My current weight is 180lbs. My calories are set to 1310 per day for a 1lb loss per week. I log any exercise and eat my exercise calories which usually puts me at just over 1700 per day. check your activity level and see if you need to tweek something there.

    What workout did you find? I grew bored of the gym and stopped my membership and started C25K. I'm on week 4, but I am looking to add something on the days I don't run.

    It's funny how are perceptions are different. I'm 5'2" and at 135 lbs thought I was huge with rolls over the top of my pants and flabby arms. 150 lbs sounds grossly obese to me!

    The title of this thread made me laugh! At 5 ft nothing I'm definitely what you'd call "fun sized!" I used to be self conscious about being short, but now I quite like being vertically challenged. Anyone can add me if they like, I'm always looking for new MFP friends!

    Lol I love this title! I'm 5'1 and I'm ready to lose this weight! I'm ready to look fit and fab! My goal is to lose 32 more pounds and reach my goal of being 125 and i'm currently 157. I started off my journey about three months ago weighing in at about 175 which was at my max! I'm glad there are people that are my height out there. It seems like everyone else is always taller.

    "Fun-sized". I like that! I'm fun-sized at 5'0. I started out at 210, but now I'm down to 185 pounds while eating about 1600 calories/day. I've got another 50 to lose before I hit my first goal. (I will reassess then, but since I've haven't been that small since I don't know when, that's a good goal.) Add me if you want

    I'm also "fun sized" at 5'0"! I don't have too much weight to lose. I weigh 130 and want to be at 120. I recently lost all the weight, then had gall bladder surgery, and gained it all back. I have been doing Insanity for 2 months. I haven't lost much of the weight, but I am definitely toning and getting in better shape.

    You can add me. I am always looking for dedicated friends.

    I feel your pain...My goal is also 125. Honeslty I just want to be able to see a size 4 again pull it off the rack and have it fit... I have always been small/thin until a few years ago. Highest wegith 155-158 hated myself. ( I have some body image issues). Lowest weight since adult 106. Average weight 120-130 in college and right after...that is where I want to get. I am currently 143 fitting into a 6/8 waiting for the weight to come off...sigh. Have lost 7 bls since Feb.

    oh i'm 5 1 and half...:)
