    I'm 5' 1 and have a current goal weight of 116 lbs. I'm currently 124 lbs and persons are already telling me how skinny I am. But my body fat is still pretty high so I'm going to keep going.

    5 Ft 1" here and 60 years I was small until 35 and then boom, something happened and I could not eat everything I wanted to!

    GW 130 and then I will re-evaluate. Long way to go.

    Word to the wise: yes additional weight on a small frame shows more but those of us who require fewer calories than others, need the nutrition in those calories to be high. Unfortunately, the adage about not eating empty calories applies to us more than others because we don't have that much room to spare.

    Good eating all!

    Hello Everyone!

    I Googled searched and found this post because I was feeling down on myself.

    I am 44 years old. I am 4 feet and 11.75 inches tall. I weigh 118lbs.

    I've been stuck on 118lbs for a year.

    In 2007 I was 100lbs. But then I started training Kung Fu and Tai Chi. I gained muscle and weight to be 109lbs. Then I just developed a voracious appetite for food.

    I can't seem to lose 18lbs. Or even 10lbs. I have cut calories to about 1100-1200 calories a day. But to no avail, I can't seem to lose it.

    I have read somewhere recently that as women age, their metabolism changes. Is this true? Do any women my age have any advice for me or can direct me to any articles I can use?

    Thank you,
    Diana

    5'1 and trying you lose 10-20 pounds. My current weight is 130, but I felt great at 120 (muscular build.) Anyone can add me, I would like some accountability and it's fun to browse other people's diaries. Being short is the worst because our calories are so resticted.
