Calling all petite women 5'3" and under Friends needed!

redraidergirl2009

Hello everyone! I'm looking to add some people around my height and possibly weight for support. I'm 5'2", 165lbs. I'm hoping to get down to 125-130. I eat at or less than 1500 calories per day and and work an active job 4 days a week on average and exercise 4 days a week usually on my days off from work but some on days I do work. I'm also vegetarian and trying to get better about logging my food intake. I have tried various methods and eating less than 1500 cals per day seems to work best for me in addition to exercising less as I was exercising 90mins a day for 5 days a week with no results even with I upped and lowered my calorie intake.

Feel free to add me! I'm 4'10" and at my lowest weight of 126 right now, after losing 42 from my highest weight of 168 over this past year. I'm trying to go for 115, but ultimately I just want to look lean and toned no matter what the weight is

Me! 5'1".

HW 191
CW 144 (down over 45 lbs!)
GW Between 115-125. We shall see.

I eat between 1200-1500 per day. I exercise at least 5 days a week, which is new for me. It has made a world of difference!

Anyone feel free to add me.

5'2", 40, and currently 118 (down from 122)--aiming for 112 or slightly higher but with more muscle, which is where my body used to stay naturally before I started getting older! I'm eating 1200-1300 per day to loose, and exercising five days a week (moderate--walking and yoga).

"Eat more" is not the right answer for me, at least not right now--that's what I was doing when I gained 10 lbs. Now, that may change once I add strength training (more calories to build muscle), but for now, I'm sticking with it.

Another newbie and petite person (5'1" (on a good day) -- I need friends as well -- please add me. Thanks!

MsMuniz

I am 5'0" and currently weigh 119lbs. I started at 130 and my goal is 112lbs. But I've been more focused on inches lately, rather than actual weight. I started at a size 10 pant and now am at a 6. I will send you a friend request. If any of you shorties out there need friends, send me a request! :drinker:

JTutz

I'm 5'1 and currently about 180. My highest was 188 and my lowest, 98. I've seen every number in between on the scale about 10 times each. Now on my way back down (hopefully!) and aiming for a solid 110 or thereabouts. Feel free to add me as a friend - We "fun size" girls have to stick together!

Hello

My goal is to be 110lbs.
I am trying to work out atleast 4 times a week for an hour.

Hi, I'm Megan and I'm 5'2" and 186 lbs. This is my second week on MFP. I'm trying to change my whole lifestyle by getting healthier and eating better. Feel free to add me!

bzmom

ElanaBr

Hi!

Definitely add me too. I'm 5'1 and am at my highest at 167

My goal weight is about 130. Such a long road ahead.

Destanie_Robyn

Feel free to add me too! I am 5'3" and try to eat 1400 cals a day.. more if I exercise a bunch. I am also starting to do intermittent fasting (IF) I started out once a week (my fast days are not complete fasts but include 500 or less calories) and a co-worker of mine said he'd join my challenge so now we are going to try the 5:2 plan where we eat normally 5 days a week and then 2 days a week eat less than 500. Currently I am 140 lb after losing 20 lbs already and I am hoping to get to 125-130 by September.

jarnould13

You can add me!!! I'm just the same - 5'2 157 lbs and want to get back to 120 (saw that one a long time ago). I recently signed up with a coach who will be guiding me through a fitness program starting next Tuesday. Meanwhile, she has me logging my food. I'm very motivated and just purchased a 21 speed bicycle. I fear she'll have me exercising 6 days a week ( she may have mentioned that), but she points out it's not so much about the eating, but about the fitness (for me). I chose her because I am too young (54) to feel this old in my body. It takes me too long to feel good when I get out of bed --- before everything seems to work together.

Thanks for your post!!

Hi! I'm a fellow shortie

I'm 5'0" and at my heaviest (while pregnant with both my sons), I weighed 170 lbs. I lost all the weight with my oldest son using MFP and was able to make it back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 120 lbs. I just had my second son a couple months ago and I'm trying to lose the weight again.
Feel free to add me!

KardioKim

I'm 5 feet tall and need to lose 38 pounds.

I need all the support I can get, so add me!

Buddhasmiracle

Hi, I'm 4' 11" and stay within 1400-1600 daily. I cycle 15-20 miles a day, and will soon add weight training. I struggled with losing until I upped my calories. Please feel free to add me if you are at least netting 1200 cals, active, and have an open food diary.

LivinLaVidaRosa

Feel free to add me! I am 5'3" (rounding up!) and working toward a weight of 140. I've lost and kept off 30 lbs since having my last son, but I'd really like to be back at my wedding weight! I run three-four times a week and love Jillian Michaels dvds. Happy to support others!

bulbadoof

Hi! I'm 5'3", ~150 lbs, and I eat 1500 calories as well! Feel free to add me, I'd love to creep each other's diaries for ideas.

AmiAlcocer

I'm 5'2.5'' (and yes, I count that half inch!), 31, and currently weighing in at 158.8. My start weight in MFP was 213 last year, but in January of this year, I weighed in at 203 before restarting my weight loss.

You can add me if you like.

Food wise, I stay around 1100-1400 calories. Exercise is 30 min biking and starting a weight training program soon.

daniebabe17

I just started MFP on Tuesday. I am 5'2 and 186 lbs. I did WW and lost about 40ls. I decided to get off the program and try something new since I was at a stand still for many many months. Would like new friends for inspiration add me

Naturesdawn

Hi Redraidergirl! I'm 5'3" and currently 133. I used to be 165, like you. Eating 1,200 - 1,500 calories a day and exercising several times a week has made a difference for me. I'm still losing - I want to get to 125 and see how I feel when I get there.

Anyone can add me - having support makes losing easier. :-)

ashleymm625

Hello I'm 5'3/5'4ish and 193lbs. I'm new here- I just want to feel healthy and feel normal, so I'm on what will probably be a lifelong journey

heather4949

i am 5.2 ft and i started at 142lbs and now 117-118. It took me a whole year just to lose 20 lbs. it was so slow, i thought it was never going to happen. i never lost more then 1.5 lbs a month!

I am 5.2ft and 146lbs and started this journey 4 months ago and have only lost 9lbs. Since reading your post have have really lifted me up for I was thinking I must be doing something wrong. I exercise daily and eat 1400 calories a day. I would really like to have you as a friend to travel on this journey of a healthy life....

sally_jeffswife

Feel free to add me I'm 5 ft 0 inches and weight about 159 right now. I had gained 45 lbs fast like in 3 months time cuz I was getting electric shock like migraines and was on a med that caused rapid weight gain. am off that now which is helping a great deal and also have given up regular soda except on special occasion and that has helped even more yet. but that's what brought me here trying to get bk down to the weight I had been. And its way harder getting the weight off now than it was putting it on with that medication. And now cuz its summertime trying to get down to even a little less than that and also cuz I am a short person. I am hoping to get to about the 120-125 range too eventually. I have 3 children age 16,10,05.
