Short Gals (under 5'3) unite!

Seabrook22

Hi! I have recently recommitted to MFP. I would love team up with any other short gals that are new and those who are having success. Support, motivation and idea sharing. TEAM is Together Everyone Achieves More! I am almost 5'2 and weigh 179. My goal is to get to 130 which is probably more than the charts say I should weigh but I want a realistic target!

I'm 5'2.5" and 150 lbs. Also looking at a 130 lb goal. I got down to 139 last summer and put it all back on

I'll take all the support and motivation I can get! I know what my downfalls are, just can't seem to stay disciplined enough to get past them.

5'3" and just turned 30. At my heaviest after my son was born weighed 208. Brought it down to 140 after my divorce and now, a few years later, found myself back up to 187. MFP is awesome. Anyone who says they "can't" needs to spend some time reading all these stories. Since starting this journey on April 10th I'm down 8lbs. Goal weight is 135-130. Losing my weight will only be the first half of this battle. I've always been a "thick" girl (was a ladies size 12 in 5th grade), so maintaining my goal will be a life-long, daily, chore.

Hi everyone,
I'm 5'1 and 148.6 lbs. I'd like to lose a little more weight with diet and exercise.

tootchute

I'm 5'3, When I started this journey I was 355, at least that is what I weighed when we started, I could have been higher. Right now I weigh 218, I still got 80-90 lbs to go and you can add me.

I'm 4'11". Not going to reveal my weight, but I can tell you it is BAD. Please feel free to add me.

5' 2" 120 lbs. Lost 15 on 1200 cal diet but the last 5 is not moving! I workout everyday burning about 400 cal per day and no budge on the scale. Help

HI We have same height, CW and GW! Yes, I am finding that the last 5lbs are clinging ever so tightly to me.:) Feel free to add me if you are in need of support and can give it back!

I am 4'11" too...I was 240 at one point. You are here so that is a great start!

I'm 5'0 @ 138lbs. Want to be 110. Feel free to add me!!!

Hi.

I'm 5'2" and looking to get down to 130. Currently stuck at 148

wissabear

I'm almost 5'0 and 150lbs. I would like to get to 120, but 130 is probably more realistic!

lisavgagne

Five foot even here!

My starting weight was 155 and right now I am at 150. I can actually tell a difference in my jeans. It's amazing how much 5lbs is when you are SHORT!!

Feel free to add me

lisavgagne

Me too! I am really shooting for the 115-120 range but know I will probably end up about 130. I have done it before and I am happy there - it's just not as great as the 115-120 range where I can wear just about ANYTHING I want and it hangs perfectly

Good luck!

I'm almost 5'0 and 150lbs. I would like to get to 120, but 130 is probably more realistic!luck!

Good

I am 5'3" and currently 202...started MFP at about 219. I would like to get to 140. Feel free to add me!

We have almost the same stats!! My first goal is 170 but in the end I'd like to get to 140 also!

Me three! I just rejoined MFP today after a year or so hiatus. In that time I gained another 20 pounds. :-( But I am back and that is what counts! Anyway, I am 5'3" and at 220, My short term goal is to get that 20 pounds off and get under 200 again (even if that means 199). I know I will feel so much better even just 20 pounds lighter and be even more motivated. A few years ago I lost 70 pounds and got down to 145, so I know it is do-able. My long-term goal is also 140. Please feel free to add me as well!

I'm 5'2 and I finally weighed myself yesterday. I'm at 219 lbs, and my goal for the moment is 150lbs. I gained all the weight I had lost and then some. I managed to get down to 172lbs and then ballooned right up :embarassed:

Hey everyone 5'1 and 124 lbs, here get back on track with weight lifting and trim a bit more bf off.

I was here four years ago at 164 lbs (obese) so here there or in-between, friend me if you need one. I got to healthy mostly with the help of heavy weight lifting and eating more than I thought I could eat and lose weight. I found some good friends on mfp back then though eventually they moved on and so did I. Anyway, I'd love to re-expand my circle of friends (though please refer to the "short gal post" so I know you're not trying to sell me something).

Hi Amethyst -
As someone with decent-sized breasts who has lost and gained weight a few times already, I can tell you this has happened to me. Of course everyone is different and I am sure age, body composition, and how quickly one loses the weight all factor into the equation. I am sure moderate strength training helps as well. But in the end, I'd rather lose a little firmness and size than have my belly compete with them. :-)

Robin628

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?

forgot to include the Quote!

I'm 5'3" and I am well over 200 pounds. I'm not sure where all of this weight is hiding, but it's here. My mom weighs the same amount as I do, but is 5 inches taller so she looks MUCH slimmer. Drives me nuts!

Hi! I'm 5'1" and I think we short people have it kind of hard in life. I think we need to eat less because we are so compact. I would love more friends I have things in common with on this journey so feel free to add me as a friend! Thanks!

SW: 196

Hi I'm 5'1" and back to MFP for about the 3rd time. Really serious this time, and know it works because my son has had success. Need to lose about 30 lbs. It seems that I have a real problem with portion control. Exercise is coming along fine Please add me as a friend
