    I'm 5'3" and my starting weight was 185lbs. That was pre-MFP. When I joined here it was 179lbs. I'm currently 143lbs. I gained 2lbs since my last check in on here. :ohwell: I've plateaued for a while now, and just recently started gaining a little. Diet and exercise has remained consistent so I'm not very happy about the gain. I know the numbers are small, but it's scary. Especially when I'm so close to my original goal of 135lbs. I'd love more friends for support and encouragement! Feel free to add me. :happy:

    Sad to say, I have been on a sort of roller coaster. I am 5'4" and currently 180lbs. About 4 years ago I went on a tremendous weight-loss and overall health journey. I started at around 207 and in less than a year had made it down to about 135 (briefly). Obviously, I haven't kept it off. But nowadays I cannot do ANY normal daily activities (get dressed, look in the mirror, take pictures with friends, eat a meal, walk to the class, carry heavy items, etc...) without losing every bit of self-confidence I have.

    I have lately gotten to the point where I just can't take that feeling anymore so I am determined, once again, to get on track and take charge of my health. One thing I learned the first time around is that I NEED support from others. I am on myfitnesspal to do just that! Reading stories, seeing transformation pictures, reading tips and blogs, and learning new recipes helps me so much.

    I am looking for women (like myself) who need a small (or large??) support system to make it to my goals!

    I started this journey at 198lbs, 5.3ft.
    Even though I'm still 5.3ft and I don't expect much change about it, I'm now 150lbs. It's possible to lose weight, a lot of weight for us short girls.

    I'm nowhere near goal (128lbs) but I do know now that it is possible.

    Be proud of each and every progress, no matter how tiny. They all add up in the long run and, someday, it shows.

    It's an awesome feeling when you see and feel a difference. Keep at it!

    5'4'' and 201. Nearly 2 years ago I lost 41 pounds. Then my son spent four days in PICU and I spent four days eating like crap to make myself feel better, then an entire summer eating like crap, then an entire year. And now I'm miserable. 13 years ago I lost 91 pounds in 8 months. I felt awesome and I want to feel that way again!

    I'm 5'3" and 189 pounds. I started at 216. Before I got to that weight a year and a half ago I hovered in the 170s for a long time. While I might be biased, I feel extra weight is harder for short girls because it is more compact and I felt it was really hard just moving around at my high weight and I'm in my early thirties. Yes, love and support for all of us...here's to health and happiness!

    Hi there! I am 5'3 and I am currently 191.9lbs I started the beginning of July 2013 at 265lbs. I did really well until January when my doc started "adjusting" my thyroid meds. The adjustments through me off for a bit, and I gained approximately 10lbs back. I am back on track now and have continued to lose. I am 38 years old and a mother of four. My eldest is 21, and is currently pregnant, so I'm soon to be a grandmother too! Add me if you want to!

    Hi! I’m 5’3.5” and my top weight was somewhere around 184lbs. Currently I’m weighing in around 121lbs.

    After being overweight since my early teens, I lost most of my weight about four years ago (roughly 55lbs), maintained for a while, then put 10-15lbs back on over the course of a year. Using MFP I’ve taken that back off and then some (21 lbs down since May!) and now I’m starting to think about maintaining again, but with more structure so I don’t creep back up again. It definitely is challenging to make a lifestyle change and stick with it, but it’s worth it!

    I know I’m at a different place in my journey than you, but feel free to friend me if you think I could be helpful.
