    I am 5 foot and I have lost 44 pounds! I still have 44 to go to get to my goal. People didn't start noticing until I hit about 25 pound loss. I weigh 171 currently. My ultimate goal may be to weigh 115. I have a long way to go.

    I'm 5' 2" and working on gaining muscle and weight maybe would be nice. I do feel like the weight may be more noticeable being shorter since there isn't as much room. But we can do it!

    I'm 4'11" and I have lost 65-67 pounds depending on the day. I was 170 at my heaviest and I now am usually somewhere between 103-105.

    I am 4'8" and just starting on weight loss in earnest. I was around 120 during college, gained a bit, then lost again a few years later with a high-protein/low-carb diet and LOTS of yoga. Then over the past 10 years, after 2 kids, I was up to 176 pounds. I've just made it below 170 now. I came looking for posts from the under-5-foot members, because we really can't carry the extra weight and our calorie recommendations are so low. On the upside, I already feel better even though my modest weight loss doesn't compare to you awesome ladies.

    I always thought I was 5 feet tall but measured myself today and am 4'10". Now my BMI's worse lol. Anyway my starting weight was about 223 and now I'm 186. I'm still working at it but at least there's a bit of a difference.

    my starting weight is 193lbs and I'm 5'0 tall. I would like to get down to 125, but since I was a kid all those bmi calculators always said I should be like 105. I don't think I will ever get to that, but the first 5lbs r gone.
