    Never thought I would be excluded for being too tall at 5'6" *sobs*

    Think my long-term goal is around 150 but will see how it goes.

    I'm 5'5". In shoes I'm 5'5.5" Almost average! I am just tall enough petites don't hit all the way down my ankles and too short to not be walking on my pant legs in the averages. :huh:

    I'm 5'3". I'm 210 pound and looking to lose 70. I have a long way to go but it's a lifestyle change rather than a diet. I too hate being this short. I'd like some weight loss buddies so please add me.

    Hi!
    I'm 5'2" with a small frame, so even a few extra pounds seems like a lot on me! Starting at 132 with the goal of getting back to the 115 range-- depending on any potential muscle gain.

    I'm 5' tall and would love to have you as a friend. I weigh around 196-199 right now--it fluctuates--trying to get down to between 125ish-140ish.

    Edit: 5'3" and up is tall to me.

    I'm going to report my height as 5'1" because depending on the day I'm between 5'0" and 5'2". Like the above poster, a few pounds of weight feels/looks like a lot on me. I don't have a scale so I have no idea how much I weigh... The last time I weighed myself was 1.5 months ago, and I was 105 pounds. So I think I'm trying to maintain right now.

    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

    Finally! A measurement I don't need to convert LOL
    I'm 161 cm and currently 62 kg. My GW is 55 kg and UGW is 50 kg.

    Hi all ! Would love to make some friends here !

    I'm 5'1'ish and weight at 120 lbs

    Why would I want to loss? you may wander. My body fat percentage is 26% and I've had excessive belly fat for as long as I could remember.

    Would love to get rid of them, get myself down to 20% body fat and see those abs for once! :)

    Hi Eric. I'm Rick 5'6" 233# and looking for someone to help encourage and be accountable to on the long road to #170.
    I've lost a lot of weight before, but always manage to find it again. I travel a lot and - despite my best intentions - it derails my hard work and progress.
    Let me know if you would like to partner on this life changing goal.
    Rick

    Hi, I'm short also. No place for extra pounds to hide. I'm 5 foot 2.5 inches tall, 185 lbs. Doctor says at my age (53), that I should weigh 135 lbs. Yikes, 50 lbs.

    I just joined this site five days ago. I also joined TOPs five months ago but needed a tracking device for my eating and exercising.
