Roll Call for all short women!! Just stop by and say hello, tell your height. Share some of the good, the bad, & the ugly of being a shorter person and trying to lose weight.

I am 5'3 and a quarter. I don't call myself short, I am fun-sized!! :laugh:

    I'm fun sized too. 5'2. it's a nightmare getting maxi dresses and trousers to fit and being short means every pound of weight shows but on the plus side it's great for playing hide and seek:laugh:

    I'm 5'2. The only down side I have found is when people who are at a heavier weight, but taller, they get into smaller pant sizes quicker! :angry:

    I'm 5'2 and 24 years old. I look young and am vertically challenged. Lol.

    All my weight goes to my gut and I get that nasty back fat. And the way this worked out, I don't have a big chest. I don't not really fit the typical 'big person' stereotype. My mom makes fun of me...with love of course. Haha.

    I'm shocked to hear you lump 5'5 women in with all you shorties! Just kidding. I like to think I'm tall at 5'5 but I guess I'm average at best, and next to my 6'4 husband I'm just a little shrimp!

    I'm definitely fun sized right now too with my huge pregnant belly!

    Well this is the group where i feel tall... :) I am 5'5" but I love my height! I call myself short all the time and play with it when people comment on it. I am on my way to my goal weight and when I get there I will love every part of me :)

    Good Luck on your journey to my vertical challenged friends haha :)

    Good things come in small packages - now only if the number of the scale would get smaller!

    5' 3.5" I enjoy being this height because I like my pants longer and I shop average size and they fit the exact way I want them too!!!!

    5'5" and I struggle with muscles. I seem to build up the muscle more than the average which is making it very hard to be in a healthy BMI range for my height/weight ratio even tho my BF% is near 27% ( very healthy!) About 2 lbs away from dipping into BMI healthy range. I WILL get there...and I am certain all of us can with the right kind of determination!

    5'2'' and I've always stolen the phrase from Mulan "I'm travel sized for your convenience!"

    Loves: looking young and innocent (read: getting away with anything)
    Loathes: I can't reach anything!!!

    I'm 5ft 2! It's a pain putting on weight because it really shows, but equally if you lose it it really shows too! Bring it on ladies! xx

    5' 3"!! I don't mind being short, but being a dancer growing up I always wished I had longer legs! Oh well, good things come in small packages, right?

    Hello all I am 5 ft and 1/4 inch tall......that 1/4 inch really counts lol. Oh the joys of being petite....we just dont carry our weight as well as many more that are taller. I love being petite, although my proportions are a little off

    5' 3" losing this waste of space so I can ROCK heels and not be in pain. My Hubby's ex was 4' 11" and he once told me the short ones are evil.... Crazy, I'm a lil taller but still consider myself short! I DO feel SUPER SEXY in heels though!
