I agree! I am 5'1" and have gone from 127 or so to 110. It's a huge difference! Still need to get about 5 off! COngrats! You look fantastic!0

You look great! I hope when I hit that weight I look half as good as you do! Great motivation.0

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! That's so inspirational. I'm currently at 144lb with a goal weight of 120-123 and it's so nice to see that even loosing 10-12 lbs, I will look even better=0) Keep up the hard work!0

You look amazing! Congrats! I am the same height but never considered myself short. :laugh:0

Hooray for you!! I'm short and need a little inspiration to get started up again. I had a baby in October and just realized that I'm still eating extra even though I'm no longer nursing. Thank you for kicking me into gear0

You look great! Fantastic job0

Yep, a small weight loss is very noticeable on a shorter person. I'm 5'8" and have to comfort myself that when I gain a little bit of weight, it's not noticeable.
You look great. WTG!0 -
I heard that! I'm 5'2". Represent for us shorties!0

WOW! Great job! I'm in the same boat as you! I am about 5'3" and weigh currently about 145ish pounds and would like to way between 117 and 125 (anywhere between there is fine with me). Congratulations! You give me inspiration!0

Congrats!! You look great!
This is really inspiring for me since I'm really short and at 145 right now! My goal is to lose 25-30 lbs, but I'd LOVE it if I saw results like that after losing about 10 lbs!0 -
Great job! 12lbs IS a lot on us. Your torso looks long for a shortie! Lucky! lol0

Ok fellow short girls, I need some advice/motivation here. I'm a little under 5'2. Started at 130 lbs, with my goal being 115. The first 5 lbs came off in a month, so ok good. But I have been stuck at 125 for 3 weeks now, and it's such a let down after having dieted and excersized all week!
How many calories per day are you (short) girls consuming? I'm doing about 1100 net. I know all about the "starvation mode" deal, but I dont think at less than 5'2 Im starving myself with 1100 calories.
So for those of you who have reached your short girl goal- tell me what you did that worked, or what you did that didnt work. Oh, and motivate me! Because there's a bottle of wine and a loaf of bread with my name on it, and Im weak and might give in.
Thanks!0 -

I'm 5"2, I was eating 1200+ at least 1/2 my exercise cals. (on maint. now) Most days this put me between 1400 and 1600 calories. You already know the starvation mode stuff so I won't go there (and In addition I believe it to an extent), but I will say that eating more meals of high fibrous foods and lean protein (even peas have a good amount of protein) will help you staboloze blood sugar (preventing binge eating) and help boost your metabolism. There are about 500 other reasons that deal with how your muscles use protein and hormones that I just won't get in to. All in all eating more isn't a bad thing as long as you aren't eating empty calories. :flowerforyou: HTHS0 -
Hot damn! You look fantastic!!0

what a big difference!!!! i'm 5'3' & just made it back into the 130's can't wait to get down to the lower 30s-20s... it's nice to see some close to my height with a long torso.. you look great! so inspiring! keep it up :-)0

I may not be a girl, but I am a short guy (5'4"), so this definitely strikes a chord with me. I just hate how my taller friends and coworkers can better hide a few extra lbs. =(
Great job!0 -
how tall are you? I am 5'4 and my goal is to be around that weight and I just want to know if thats what I could potentially look like! very inspirational!0
