    5'2" and started at 150lbs at the beginning of February, 138 now! Goal of 120 or whatever I feel comfortable with. Want to look good in that wedding dress in December!

    I think our height/weight/gender makes it a little hard to lose weight. MFP started me out at 1200 cal/day. Didn't have much success there, but at 1400 cal/day, I'm doing much better and have more energy :-)

    Hi friends!
    I just joined. I am 5'3. I used this about 2 years ago and lost about 80lbs. I am back at it again to drop some weight Ive added. Summer is right around the corner :)

    I'm 5'2", I started at 156lbs, currently at 133lbs and have 13lbs to go until my goal weight of 120lbs.

    I've been on here since last September, and log in every day (except for when I'm on holidays with no reception on my phone!!!!).

    I"m 5'2" and 181 here. I lost over 50 lbs so far. I have ways to go yet. My goal weight is 112 lbs.

    Anyone can add me if they like.

    I'm 5'2" and 138 lbs. Goal weight is 114. The slow creep of weight gain turned into a galloping race in the last year (this being over 40 nonsense!!), so I joined MFP. I've never counted calories before, but it's working well so far. I'm REALLY grateful for the "LNS fighters" group (late night snacking). If anyone else struggles with this issue I'd highly recommend it.

    Anyone can feel free to add me.

    Hi, I am 5'1 and I started at 214 and am down to 211. I have used MFP before and lost a good bit, but now I'd like to stick with the program and my goal is 140ish. I am not picky. I'd be happy anywhere under 150!

    I'm 5ft and so far, have lost 67 LBS (CW is 173) and right now, I'm up and down with my weight *it seems like when you're closer to reaching your goal, it's hard to reach it* but that's not stopping me! I'm pushing through and determined to get at my GW! You & anyone else can add me! :)

    I'm 5'2" & 176-- Trying to lose weight, get in better shape and shop in those single digits sizes again! I would like to get down to 125-130, I've never been super skinny and really don't wanna be. I like have some substance to my body!

    Question for those ladies who have lost weight already: I know that we all lose weight differently, just like we carry it differently, however, my concern is losing weight and having my breast deflate...anyone have this problem?

    I'm 5' 2 1/2" (though I like to say 5' 3" exaggerated) I also prefer the term "vertically challenged"

    I'm trying to maintain a 115 weight. Need to get back down to that first!

    I have been "doing" MFP on and off for 2 years. Yesterday I went to Dr. and have lost 17 lbs. since December. I am overjoyed. I know MFP has helped, but also I am doing a long-term sub job (teaching) and have the same breakfast and lunch every school day because it is non-think! My dinners vary. I am short - 5'2' - and would love to loose at least another 25 lbs. Good luck to all!

    5'1 and 138. Not looking to lose much. Probably about 20 lbs. My goal is to have an athletic body so I'm focused on my body fat percentage.

    Hi! I'm just a bit over 5'2. I'm currently at 132 lbs, and looking to get down to about 120. That number might change when I actually get in shape, though! I've never really been fit, so that's my biggest goal. I turned the big 4-0 a few months ago, and I'm definitely feelin' it!! I want to be in good shape not just for aesthetics, but also because I want to stay healthy as I get older.
