      I'm about 5'3''....5'4'' on a good day. 149 would look good on a Tally.....not me. My goal is 130. I'm at the 149 mark. Hang in there !

      I'm 4'11
      110.4 pounds, aiming for 100.

      That all sounds SO light but I'm short. Some elementary school kids are taller than me >.>

      HI! So if you are 5'3" sometimes, what are you the other times? lol I'm Tracey, and I'm 5'4" all of the time. There was a time when I was taller than some of the boys in junior high.
      Currently 208lbs and I would like to be under 200.

      I'm 5ft 1 3/4 inches ( lol yes i am throwing in that 3/4 of an inch). I am currently about 195, my highest weight was 205 when i was pregnant 5 yrs ago. My lowest weight was 147 after 6 months on weight watchers(no exercise after my son was born). My goal is 125 :) I just graduated from nursing school so that knocked me off my progress and i put a ton of weight on during school :/

      I'm 5'3 and currently 152. Started at 164, lost 26 pounds, gained back (seasonal depression yay) and now I'm starting over. Goal is more visual/how I feel than anything but I think 130 is right about the mark I'm shooting for.

      Hi,

      I'm 5'2" and currently 203lbs, at the moment I want to drop a couple of dress sizes so can't really say what my ideal weight is.

      If I was taller, I wouldn't need to lose so much weight but unfortunately I'm squashed down!

      You brought back some memories for me. I remember my days as a nursing student. I lived on M&M candy. I, too gained a lot of weight. I am retired now and gained this weight without eating M&M's. I am 4 ft. 11 inches. 150 lbs. Goal 118. But I'll be happy with 125.

      Since when is 5'5" short? :smile: I'm 5'5" and currently 119 lbs (sometimes I go up to around 125). I'd like to be 115, but I'm pretty happy with my current weight. I originally started out at about 140.

      I'm 5'1, I think. 154 cm! (Yay! Metric system!) I'm 57 kg, so I'm /technically/ at a healthy weight. I look pretty chubby though, so that's something I need to work on.
      Short people = fun sized

      Four eleven and three quarters here (that last three quarters is crucial!). I never hit my head on the ceiling fan, so there's that.

      I'm 5'3 and currently 147lbs. Feeling pretty damn sexy over here!
      Ultimately, I would like to get down to 120 or so...even though I do LOVE my curves (most days!).

      21 yo and just hit 5'2" this year. 152 pound, goal of 120!

      i'm 5'5.

      i started at 300.
      after 21 months of mfp, down to 156.
      almost at my goal of 150 (though i've been stuck in this mid 150's range for the last three months)....might keep going til 140 if i break my plateau.

      Either way, way happier now than i was two years ago.
      If i can do it...anyone can do it!

      5'1" here!
      Not really focused on losing weight so much as getting in better overall shape. Hoping to lose fat in problem areas, but wouldn't mind if I gained a few pounds and ended up with some muscles instead. Feel free to add me if you'd like... I'm new and would enjoy having more people to chat with :smile:
