    I am just under 5 foot and last time I weighed myself I was 165 pounds although I think I am nearer 160 now. Last year I got down to 140 from 182 using MFP. Looking to be 133 pounds by summer :)

    I'm 5'0. I have been on and off here for a while. I like to log on for the forums and get good tips.
    My SW was 141,
    CW is 136
    GL is 115-120

    I would love if anyone can offer any tips on what helped them be successful. I feel like my weight won't budge from here. I run but turns into mostly interval runs as I have a hard time staying at a fast pace for too long so I tend to do the intervals. I do some weights as well on the bosu.

    I eat some vegetables and some fruits but it is sort of limited so I try to just do well on calories. I wish I was one of those people that loved fresh fruit and vegetables as much as everyone else but I really stick to the regular ones.

    4ft 11 and a half - being little is tough because 5 to 10 pounds really feels an shows.

    I started at 160 I am 155 now I would like to be 130 - 135 for my height I am supposed to be like 110 - so not realistic for me.

    It's nice to know I am not the only one out there with big numbers to achieve just because of my height

    Good Luck all - keep me as a friend :flowerforyou:

    5'2" (almost!) and really struggling with losing weight. It's exciting when I do actually lose any because 5 pounds on a little woman really shows! But the opposite is true as well. I'm new to MFP and I'd love to have some friends and support too, especially from you other short girls!

    Around 5'21/2 and at just under 162 according to the height/weight convertor I found, used to metric! Looking to get down to 143 to start with and see if I can keep going after that, don't remember the last time I weighted that little. Main problem is trying to eat healthily and not just go crazy and try to starve myself plus find low impact exercise my arthritic joints can cope with. Looking forward to sharing journeys with people!

    I'm right there with you! 5'3" and at an all time high of 205!!! What exercises work best for you? I am wanting to be at or around 145 myself. Keep in touch with me. It would be nice to have a weight loss buddy.

    Hey y'all. I'm 5'2, currently at around 225, which is down 10lb from my SW. My goal is around 135-140; most importantly I want to look and feel good, the actual number isn't the most important thing. Feel free to add me!

    I'm 5'1 and have been using MFP for 2.5 years. I met my goal a year ago, but failed with maintenance and gained 20 lbs back. Soooo.... here I am, trying to get back to where I was a year ago. I truly felt my best at that time. It will always be a struggle but I know what to do, and it's worth the work to get there.
