For all the 5'5 ladies!

In Korea height is measured by centimeters, and since they are smaller, they are more precise I think. There is no “half” and “quarter” and all that. And no complexes to go with it! I’m 165cm and I think that is considered average even though there are a lot of really tiny Korean girls.

I’m really curious if there are any girls with similar measurements as me… Currently I’m 5’5 120lbs chest 33.5, waist 25, hips 36, inseam 30 The main measurements that have changed since I lost weight are my waist (from 27 to 25) and my… boobs. I think I’ve gone down a cup size from a 34B to a 34A. Still mourning the loss.

Also, I'm getting married in 3 months, so that is a huge reason as to why I'm trying to get in shape right now.

Wow! Congrats on tying the knot! How exciting… not to mention motivating. BTW, where did you take your profile pic? It reminds me of the groves in California.

Yay 5'5! Me too! I hate that regular pants are not long enough but longs are too long! I hit my highest on my wedding (Aug "09) at 169...saw my wedding pics and said "NO WAY!" I got down to 139 in early December '10, and then went off to Hawaii. Now I am fluctuating around 145 since January.... I really can't seem to shake these last 10ish lbs! My goal is to be just in 130s. Does anyone believe in a weight that your body will stay at regardless what you do? I am getting the feeling that my body doesn't want to lose anymore... UGH!

Don’t be discouraged!!!! You can do it, its just a matter of push, push, push. What seems to help me is developing mantras or mottos. Right now “Push” and “Hardcore” are working for me. I’m in the last leg of my loss also and I agree it’s hard, but don’t give up because YOU CAN DO IT. Seriously. Haven’t you ever seen biggest loser?

5'5 and 3/4! LOVE that I'm not the only one that counts that extra 3/4! lol Starting weight was 156, currently at 141 and goal is 130 but would love to get down to 125 just don't know if I could maintain it. I'm a medium build so I start getting the, "you look too thin" when I get below the 130. Good luck to everyone!! Feel free to add!!

Yeah, I think I should have started a 5’5” and change group… But I wouldn’t fit in 

I have a medium build too, but apparently I carry my weight well because people seem to always be shocked to hear how much I weigh. I’m kind of muscular and not very curvy (wayyy less since I got under 125 ) and I think having short legs makes you look lighter than you are because a long torso looks kinda stretched but those extra inches weigh more than legs with space between them would. Know what I mean? I envy the girls with long legs though because you look your weight but you also look taller. ANYWAY, certainly you can maintain it if you make life choices for a slimmer future! Your future is your own projection and you can make it a skinny self-fulfilling prophesy.

So I'm aiming for 145 at the moment. I'll evaluate when I get there. I haven't been that low since middle school. In high school I was in the 180s. So it will be a whole new world.

Welcome to a whole new world. I think change is really exciting because you can learn so much about yourself. Good Luck! We are here for you!

Hello all! I am 5'5 3/4 so that makes me ALMOST 5'6"!!! I started at 195, I felt so awful about myself then.... several months later I am 151 on a good day, 153 on a bad one. But let me tell you this - I am going to enter into the 140s within the next 7 days, I guarantee you! I'm stepping up my game to hit my goal of 140. I know I will want to lose another 10-15 pounds after that but I know at 140 I would be a size 6 and that would be amazing. I could probably wear a bikini and look hot. One step at a time. If I hit 140, I told myself I would get a personal trainer and I can work on hitting my body fat goal of 15% and shred off those tough pounds. It really gets harder the closer we get to our goals, doesn't it? Gotta keep switchin it up, I guess!

You totally have the right idea. You WILL wear a bikini and you will look totally smokin. I agree switching it up is key!!!

I'm 5'5" and love my height but not so much my weight...

SW : 144 - 25% BodyFat
CW : 140 - 22% BodyFat
GW : 112 - 15% BodyFat

My goal weight is my "normal weight." All my clothes with the exception of the ones I bought recently are size small. I am a small framed person so I want to feel light and energetic again like I did at 112-115lbs...

I think 112 would be reallllly small for me but since for my purposes that’s kinda THE POINT… I’m not gonna lie, I am going to try to get to 110 before I start to maintain. It depends on how I feel though and how my acting coach and boyfriend feel about it. If I get a lot of negative or worried comments, (and people DO comment a lot here on your appearance) I will be glad to start maintenance early. I agree it feels better being smaller. My legs feel longer even though they are just thinner (good for my short leg complex, haha) and I don’t have that *jiggle* (shudder) when I move around or am riding in a bus or car. Its more comfortable I think.

Good luck in your acting. I used to be a singer, so I know what a tough industry it is.

Thanks for the support! If I get any roles for movies or shows or commercials for that matter that will be showing in the US or anywhere else I’ll give you guys a heads up! I have a couple auditions coming up, I’m crossing my fingers!
