    I'm 5'4" and let me remind yall that we don't smack our heads on nearly as many light fixtures as tall people. We have great clearance :)

    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.

    If I jump, I might be 5ft2. Otherwise, I'm stuck at 5ft1 with 186lb under...
    I've been struggling with my weight my whole life, and being short doesn't make it easier ! I always felt like I was a short bubble of fat.

    5' 2" height. In 2006, 138 lbs. with lots of body fat. Went down to 123 lbs. using lifting. In 2012, intensified fitness program. Now 114 lbs. I like how strong & powerful I feel, now. Can lift bags of dog food upstairs, no problem. Have recently adding in swimming. Once I get better at it, more exercise calories will be burned. I eat to fuel my workouts.

    You can do it. Choose to make fitness with good food a way of life. Decide it's fun to challenge yourself and It will be.

    As for height, shoulders back, head held high. Make like you can & will conquer the world.

    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!


    :laugh: I couldn't help but giggle at your "squashed down" phrase!
    I'm around 4-4'2 (my husband would say depending on the shoes Im wearing), when they ask how tall I am I tell them 4'2 :tongue: ...makes me sound/look/feel taller.
    We short people are already "fluffed" up, why cant we "fluff" up our heights too :bigsmile:

    I'm 5'4' and fluctuate around 180lbs. Let's motivate each other. Anyone can add me, but I must warn I am a bit obsessive with my weightloss journey when I get serious!
