    Yep I am "fun size" too!! 5ft 1in with a 6 ft 5in husband and a 6 yr old who is not much shorter than me!!! I am currently at 194 and have never seen 110!!!!! I will be happy with a range of 130-140. Right now I have a small goal of at least 20 lbs by March and would love to lose another 20 by my 20 yr class reunion in June.

    So Funny, I am also 5'1 and have been dating my boyfriend who is 6'5 for about a year and a half! All of my friends' kids are creeping up on me in height!

    5'3...AND a half! lol

    I was 102 in high school, 118 when I got married, 143 at my heaviest pregnancy weight. In August last year I hit 172 lbs and decided THAT WAS IT! I started exercising and eating better on August 16 (the day I went back to work after my summer holidays) and joined MFP just over 2 months ago. I am proud to say I have lost almost 27 lbs in that time. My goal is 130 lbs...which still isn't "skinny", but it's where I want to be. Funny thing is...at 146 lbs, people I know say that I don't need to lose any more weight. But I'm still not technically in the 'healthy' zone according to my doctor. I'm guessing they think they're just being nice to me, but it's not helpful and a little frustrating. Anyone have any similar experiences?

    I'm 5 ft. 2... and I think the worst part about that is that we don't burn as many calories as larger people and it's h*ll watching other people be able to eat and metabolize a "normal" sized restaurant meal!

    4'11.5" here, used to be 181lbs, my lightest was 121lbs, but since the wedding in September it's crept back up to 132lbs.

    Aiming to get to my wedding weight by the end of March and down to my ultimate goal of 108lbs by the end of July. :)

    hey there! how ya doin? I am 5'1" and currently maintaining a weight between 112-117lbs. I have been training to be able to compete in figure competitions this year but, since my training became more intense have endured a bout of colds and, recently bronchitis with a chest virus.
    For the most part, doing well and getting my health back on track and boosting the immune system =). I'm looking forward to putting daily weight/cardio training back into the mix. =)

    Sigh...5'1'' here. 174 lbs.

    Hate being short - it makes me look even stumpier and fatter than I already am - and I feel like a kid around taller people.

    i'm 5 ft and 3/4of an inch!! almost 5ft 1!! small is usually the first work people use to describe me! i weigh 112 right now and i have to agree with other posts - while it's nice being so 'dainty' and 'cute' sometimes, it means any small amount of weight i put on REALLY shows! god damn having such a small frame! but when i'm all toned up i'll be loving that frame again!

    Hi there I am 4ft 11, I currently weigh 132 pounds and im trying to get down to 112 pounds. i have lost 6 pounds since the beggining of january and pleased with that so far. I agree that any weight gain really shows when you are shorter.

    I am 5'3", and I was hoping to get down to 103 pounds....does anyone think that will be too skinny, or is it reasonable?

    I'm 5'3" and I think it all depends on your body type as to what weight is best for you. I myself have a "buxom" body...my chest is rather ample and so I look better at about 120-125 lbs. When I weighed in at 110 my hubby said I looked anorexic and he thought I was just too skinny.

    I am 5' 3" tall SW :194 CW 176 and GW: 135 I haven't been 135 pounds since I was first married. Having kids, stress, laziness, etc caused the weight gain. I am doing something about it now! So tired of being overweight!
