any 4'11 or 5 foot ladies out there?

I'm 4'11 3/4" hahaha, and I pretty much started so no before or after pictures yet.

I just wanted to point out to all the ladies who are guessing what weight will be "perfect" for you. Keep in mind no matter what size we are (I'm 4'11") the more muscle we have on our bodies the leaner we will look. The pics i have posted as my profile pic are only about a 10lb difference but I've been really focused on gaining muscle and losing fat lately. I'm far smaller now at my current weight than ever before.
So shorties put on some muscle!!! I promise you won't "bulk up", track your weight just to be aware but look for satisfaction in how clothes fit and how you look in your bathingsuit/underwear.

4'11 shorty here! Starting weight was 198 and currently jumping from 138-143. Im curious, since most of the gals responding on here are shorties, how many calories are you all eating? I eat 1200 to lose weight. However, I have been stuck for a long time. People say "EAT MORE EAT MORE"...But does our tiny bodies really need more calories? Would like input on what works and doesnt work for you all. Add me, message me...etc xoxoxo :flowerforyou:

Hi;
I am 5-5'1' female I am basing my eating plan on a 1400 calories. My weight was approx 185lbs size 18+ in clothes - for right now aiming for 150lbs or size 14 in clothes.

I am just taking it on how I feel and look, just get healthy.

My case is a bit different as I am in a wheelchair so can't weight myself but I base it on measurements, which I try to do every week.

So far i've lost 1'' off my waist and firmed my arms up a bit.

If you want to add me, you can..more support encouragment is great for everyone.

This is what I'm hoping for! I'm super excited to try and I can't until I get proper equipment

This is a great question I have been struggling with myself. I'm only 4' 6 and at my heaviest I was 118. My hubby suggests 95lbs as my goal weight I'm not sure how that would look either and then where would I buy clothes??? I already can't fit anything as it is I can't imagine myself 10-15lbs lighter. I'm at 107 right now I just want my strength back, to be more toned (loss the belly) and physically fit all around. I didn't have much luck finding an appropriate calorie goal anywhere online or talking to my doctor and have just been going up and down between 105-115 for the last few years. Finally, when I hit 118 I decided it was time to change something drastic (I never even weighed that much pregnant). I switched to intermittent fasting which allowed me to actually eat full meals and get down to the 1200 calories or so recommended on most calculators without feeling hungry and skipping dinner with the family. Finally, my weight started to budge in the right direction. Then I did a semi juice cleanse detox sort of thing which felt great. Finally, I really ramped up my workouts to twice a day because I wanted to drop the weight and see results quickly to motivate me to keep going and not lose all the progress I had already made.I also increased my cardio to two sessions one in the morning and one in the evening, added my weight training and a sauna session as my treat in the morning! Now, I have a bit more of an appetite so I do less intermittent fasting and count my macros really focusing on my protein intake. I've only been counting my macros a few days and I was closer to 2000 calories the first couple of days but I still lost another lb this week, I'm not hungry and I feel great I haven't posted any before and after pictures yet but I will soon.

Yay! SHorties!! I am 4' 11".. my weight has been all over the place but i joined MFP to finally loose these extra pounds.

HW: 155
SW: 138
LW: 126
CW: 133
GW: 100

My sister is 4' 11" as well except she is 101 pounds. She's tiny but carries the weight well. Since we have the same frame size I figure I would look good at that weight too. I am sticking to 1200 to 1300 calories a day. Workout 4-5 days a week and so far so good. Going very slow bur steady!!

I am also 4' 11" and trying to get down to 100 lbs (long term) and yes eating more may help you break your plateu! I am eating around 1340 and I am currently 131.4 and loosing about 6 lbs/month... i used the IIFYM calculator and ive had good results so far... I set mine to 25% fat loss and I exercise 4 days/week. Because that already incluses exercise I eat all my 1340 calories.. regardless if i exercise or not. I only use MFP to track calories and macros.

I think if you started eating 100 calories more you would start to loose more weight.. you look great BTW!

Hi, I am 4'10" and weigh 145 pounds. People are surprised that I weigh that much, but I also think I have muscles from doing CrossFit for a year (at least that is what I'm hoping). Reading all these comments gives me hope to get to an ideal weight as I am in the obese category on BMI.

Anyone can add me as a friend.

5'0" over here and progress pic is on left as well as in this post:

Hello all,

I'm 5'0, petite frame, and have hit a plateau in my weight loss. Highest weight has been 117, starting weight was 114 and currently weighing in at 108-109 for the past few weeks. I'd like to be 105. I eat around 1200 calories, give or take, during the week and find that I tend to sabotage my efforts on the weekend. I'm happy with my progress since my jeans seem to fit better but I have some problem areas (stomach, thighs) that I would like to see go down in size.

Looking for friends with similar goals for motivation as well as to see what they're eating.

I'm 5' as well and my goal is 115lb. I don't think I can do any lower than that because I want this to be something I can maintain

Oops!

I'm 5'2". SW was 142, CW at 120. GW is 115 lbs. Hoping to get there by summer? The 5 lbs are the hardest !!!
