I always thought I was 5 ft 2/5 inches but was measured at my gym recently and found I was 5 ft 2 inches. Back on the wagon now and starting totally afresh. I am looking for positive minded folk to have around so please feel free to add me and I'll be part of your winning team ☺. I'm from Brentwood in the UK.0

Count me in! I'm 5'2" and was always happy to be petite until I added more pounds after each kiddo. Lost 14 1bs so far, with goal to burn off a pound a week until I've reached a healthier-fighting size0

I was just wondering if there's any other shorties out there as I know we can't carry extra weight as well as tall people! And I don't know about you but I always feel like when I put on even a couple of Ibs it really shows much more than if my tall friends put on a bit of weight?!
I'm only 5 ft 2 (and a half haha) myself so get adding everyone and talk to each other?
I'm 5ft 7 and wish I was shorter! People tell me I carry my weight well but when you're taller you have the added stress of not just being larger but being taller as well so end up feeling like a monster! Just huge in general. So it's not all a party lol embrace your daintiness!0 -
I'm 5'3 and definitely wish I was taller. I'd have less weight to lose & all my pants wouldn't be too long

I' m 5'2 and 1/2" as well! People tell me I carry my weight well, but it surely doesn't feel like it. I have 40lbs to lose. Add me if you would like. I could use some friends and motivation!0

5'2 here. I am currently 205 and a goal weight of about 125. I'm pretty muscular already and going to the gym is making me more so. I love motivating people and being motivated. Good Luck to everyone and anyone can feel free to add me.0

I'm 5'2.5" and 52yrs old. Started my weight loss journey at 153lbs last summer - have been in maintenance at around 109lbs since March.
I started with the C25K program and now run about 5 miles, 3 times a week.0 -
I'm 5'0"!! I only weigh 97 lbs but due to my short stature and being cursed with scoliosis (ugh) I tend to look heavier than I am. When I saw the "shorties unite!" I was like oh heck yea!0

Add me! 5' 1/2".

I'm 5'3" on a good day. So far I have lost 10lb and people can definitely see the difference! My goal weight is 120lb, so I still got another 25lb to lose. At my lightest I was barely over 100lb, and the heaviest was a ooping 165lb. I felt self conscious at both weight.
