    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to you yet, but 5'5" is not short.

    According to the CDC's report on Anthropometrics in Childen and Adults, the average height of a female in the United States is 5'4", making a 5'5" woman actually on the taller side of average-- certainly in no way a "short girl." Globally, the average height for a woman is 5'3.

    For more infomation on recent human anthropometrics, you can check out this CDC report. www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/bodymeas.htm

    Sounds like someone has a Napoleon complex....

    Holy my God, so now you are telling my I am no longer special and "petite" as per my height but just "average". What next? Are you gonna wash my sluts in the laundry and then tell me I can't say sluts?

    I'm 5'4" and I was wondering if there are any girls about my height who would like to give and get some support?

    Thanks for adding me. I'm 4'11" in my 40s with a whole lot else going on, so I definitely need support to keep going with my weight loss efforts! I hope I can be supportive of you too! Thanks again!

    I'm 4'9 - I just signed up. I desperately need support to get going and stay on track. I have about 60 pounds to lose. Finding others that are "vertically challenged" is always nice. :smile:

    *Hello* Good to see so many other "shorties" :D I'm 5'1 and about 16 pounds away from my ideal weight. Although I may weight more than my ideal weigh, but still LOOK my ideal, if my muscles get worked out a lot. Feel free to add me, I'm new and just learning my way around this site.

    ok, stay motivated everyone!

    I'm 5'4" and have 80+ pounds to lose. Just beginning my journey, and I know that having motivational buds is going to be a really, really important part of my success. Also started the 30-Day Shred yesterday, so it would be great to have some MFP friends who are also on board that wagon.

    Feel free to add me. I log several times a day and comment when I can.
