    I am 5'0" and am looking to lose about 10 more pounds. You're all welcome to add me, but I must warn you that I am a recovering bulimic...so we can't expect perfection and the epitome of health. But at least I'm trying.

    Hi! I am 4'11".

    Don't be scared to play with your calorie intake until you find what works for you. I am pretty active so I never go belonw 1800 myself... Often way more than that. It's working for ne personally and my body seems to agree with it. Some people swear by 1200, which didn't work for me at all. So yeah. Play for a while or even try thr TDEE method of you want. Best of luck on your journey on here.

    HI! I'm 5'0 and trying to lose 40 lbs. It's been a constant battle and I constantly have to remind myself that muscle weighs more than fat and to not become discouraged and frustrated when the scale goes up, because its the inches that go down! I'm a big stickler for healthy nutrition and exercise and am always helping my boyfriend who is an MMA fighter stay on top of his health as well, so I'm hoping it rubs off on me more! Feel free to add me!

    Not a lady but married to a short lady, she struggled and I became interested in nutrition and joined MFP. I calculated targets for her and she has lost well since, please feel free to add me - who knows it may do the same for you. Good luck anyway.
    The offer to add me goes to any of the MFP folk who reply to you

    Why don't you try your current plan and see how it goes for a few weeks? I'm 5'2" and about 100 today. I've recently resumed exercise, but if I want to lose weight without it I usually have to be a little under 1200. The closer one's weight is to one's lowest healthy weight, the harder it is to lose, so I have to make more of an effort. At the moment, I'm sort of in maintenance.

    Don't fall below 1200 cal a day. it's very unhealthy. also don't worry about only losing 1lb a week. for people who are not obese losing 1lb per week is the healthy way to lose weight. I am 5'1 137lbs 12 to go!

    Hey, shorties!! I'm Sarah, 5'2 and 118lbs. Before I weighed 130lbs and lost all that weight just from tracking my diet habits and having a caloric goal each day 1,200 calories per day, thanks to my fitness pal. Also I went from my gym membership collecting dust to working out at least a minimum of 3 days per week. It's true, the good old fashioned way of eating healthy, limiting your portions, and exercising will get you to the weight you are supposed to be. :) good luck on your fitness journey.

    Hi Everyone. I am 5 "2 and got myself to a terrible 205 lbs!!! I am s disgusted and mad with myself. I am 44 and I have yoyoed all my life. My lowest weight as an adult was 130 and I felt so good. I want to get back to that. I started Monday and lost 2 pounds so far. I am having egg whites for breakfast, a protein and fruit shake for lunch and a salad and protein (fish or chicken) for dinner. I have stopped eating after 7 pm. I try to snack on a fruit or some no fat yogurt with berries so that I am eating every 2-3 hours.

    I am trying to excercize every day and I have started with walking. I live near the beach so I try to strat my morning with an hour on the boardwalk. Later in the day I do another 30 minutes on the treadmill and I s=do some strength training every day with either arms or legs.

    I hope I can keep it up and my BIG motivation is always the actual weight loss. I have set my calories at 1000! I need to see progress to stiick to it.

    Congrats to all of you who sound like you are doing amazing!

    Hey girlie! I'm 5'2 as well. I've lost 12 lbs since I really started putting in the effort (just joined MFP at the end of May, though). I still have 20 lbs to lose and I would love an accountability partner. Sounds like we have similar goals and the same ambition to get there quickly and the healthy way. Add me!

    Hi all!

    I'm 5'1" and I would like to lose another 20-30 lbs. My daily calorie goal is set at an initial 1200 calories, but I eat more when I exercise. I'm currently trying to walk for 30 minutes per day during the week and add an in at least one hour of other activity on the weekend.

    I've never tried to lose more than 1 lb per week because I'm not in a rush to lose X amount of pounds. I look at this as long term life changes. Anyone can lose weight quickly, but it takes time to develop healthy habits.

    I still don't make the best choices, but every day is another chance to get it right. If anyone adds me, please include a message :flowerforyou:

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm 5'3'' and 160lbs looking to lose 30-40 pounds. I have really struggled lately and put on about 5 pounds recently. I have always struggled with my weight but now I feel like I really need to make a change. I am ready! I am changing my calorie allowance to 1300 a day with a 1 pound weight loss per week. We can all do this!

    be careful setting your calories that low....if you go below 1200 you body can go into starvation mode and start to gain. The body needs at least 1200 calories a day just for normal functions like keeping your organs working etc. Good Luck with your weight loss :)

    I'm 5'2" and lost 33 lbs by not eating less than 1200 calories per day (granted I started this new lifestyle change November of 2012). I'm in the gym 5-6 days per week and no more than 90 minutes each session. You don't have to starve yourself to lose weight. You don't have to starve yourself to lose the weight.

    Good luck to all!!
