I'm looking for some MFP friends that are around my height and weight! I thought it would be an awesome idea to find others that are just like me in the same predicament as me, and we could try to help each other and motivate one another! Befriend me if you are around my measurements! I've had two children, can't get rid of my extra baby weight that has just been lingering on me! Ughh! Need some more motivation and help from people who are in the same boat and can relate to me! :)

    Hi--

    I'm 5'1/2"...yes that 1/2" makes the world of difference for me. ahahhaha

    I have lost 21 lbs (since 2/1/11) but need to lose 27 more lbs or go down 3 more sizes to a size 2 (whichever comes first).

    I would love to be on this journey with you to help encourage and share ideas.

    Add me if you would like.

    I'm 150 right now, and I'm 5'2.5", so definitely a shorty. It's harder for us! when I run at 6.0 mph, I feel like I'm at an all out sprint, and the amazon girl next to me is just effortlessly jogging away at 6.5, haha.

    Feel free to add me too! I'm 4'11"... Started out weighing 170 but am down to 155. Would like to ultimately drop to 115, but I think having 'like body types' sticking together could be a very good thing. :) I start the 30 Day Shred tomorrow too... wish me luck!

    Hey all I am 5'1 and weigh 165, this is the most I have ever weighed, even when I was pregnant with my daughter 6 years ago.

    This might be just what I need to help motivate me, no one I know understands that when you are shorter you have to worry more,

    My daughter is already 3'5, Im hopin she is as short as me, ... Please add me and we can work together to meet our goals

    SW : 165
    GW1 : 145
    GW : 125

    Hey I am 5'0 and my current weight is 158. I started using MFP about a week and half ago and so far I have lost 2 lbs. This is really a great way to lose weight. I have the app on my phone which makes counting my calories so easy. I can scan labels of foods ive eatin to get the most accurate calories it is great. Goodluck to you.

    Hi All! I'm 5'0 and 151lbs right now. I just recently had a little boy and have lost 25lbs since I delivered, but the last 20lbs just doesn't seem to want to budge. I also was a little fluffy when I conceived, so I could stand to lose 30lbs in all.

    Hi Im 5'0 tall and 160 pounds I totally hear all of you of this. Being short is harder for some reason to loose weight. I have seen it with myself comparing to other taller people, they seem to loose it sooner if anything.

    I'm 5'2" and currently 161. Started last week at 164. NEED to get below 135!!! Would LOVE to get below 130 :smile: I really relate to the all-out sprint at 6.0 mph - my short legs are going twice as fast as amazon girl's! I'm new so I don't know how to do the friend thing yet - would love to have friends tho :laugh: I'm still trying to figure out all the things this site does...

    I'm 5'3"...a giant among women, I know ;) I am 154, started at 161, and would like to get down to 120 or thereabouts. I'm just hitting that lull, so a little mutual encouragement is much needed. :)

    5'2 started at 187. Now at 140. About 10 more lbs to go and then I will decide if I want to get to 125.

    Also I just wanted to say I actually disagree with the comment that its hard to lose weight if you are shorter. I haven't had any problems losing almost 50lbs with a 1200 calorie diet and working out 3 days a week. With that said 50lbs lost on someone that is 5'2 makes a much bigger difference than someone 5'5 - Even 10lbs at our height really makse a big difference and therefore, we are much cooler than everyone else :laugh:

    Hi! 5'1" here, currently at 148ish and trying to get down to 120. It seems it's harder to lose weight the less you have to lose. I need the motivation to keep going!

    I'm 5'1", and 162... :frown: I'd like to lose about 35lbs. (More would be nice, but I'm a realist...) Friend request sent!

    LOL - I can totally relate... I jog on the treadmill at 4.0-4.5, input it and the database has it as "very fast walk" - say wha?!? And, yeah - my runs are at about 5.0, and 6.0 is a quick sprint burst.

    I'm 5' 1.5" and 158lbs. Started at 186lbs... I've got about 30 more pounds to drop.

    I think running/jogging speed can improve greatly with more training, even for us shorties. My dad is about 5' 3.5" but he can outwalk everyone else at the track park. He's been doing tons of speed walking since middle school (school was 5+ miles from his home, and he walked to save the bus fare and buy snacks!) and it definitely shows. He walks faster than I can jog.
