GIRLS UNDER 5' 4" with less than 30 lbs to loose!

I'm 5'3", and I'd be happy losing 10-15 pounds.

I fit into this group too! I am 5'3" and weigh 137. I have lost nearly 110lbs so far and have about 10lbs left to go or so.

I am 4'11" and need to lose 20 - 25 lbs. Right now I'm at 126. I would like to get to where i use to be years ago at 100 - 105. I was comfortable in my own skin then. So count me in.

Hi - I am new here, I am 5 foot 1 and joined here last friday weighing 122 lbs. my goal is to lose a total of about 25-30lbs.

I have managed to loose 7lbs since i began just 6 days ago! but,i know its just the water weight going first!!

Its so hard to lose weight,isnt it?!

But....this website is brilliant!

im new here too and dont know how to join the group either. if you find out let me know please

Add a couple people from the thread but most importantly add the person who started the thread!! Feel free to add me!

Hi everyone!

I'm 5'2-5'3 and I have about 5 lbs to lose. I'm at a pretty ideal weight, but it never stays steady for long unless I stay in the diet state of mind. Pretty depressing, but I've learned to accept that it really IS a way of life to be healthy!

Does anyone else find that being SHORT makes it impossible to stay in "ideal" calorie ranges?? When I typed in my info for MFP it originally told me if I wanted to lose 1/2 lb a week I would need to eat only 1,300 calories a day. I could not do it to save my life, so I changed it to 1,600. I can almost never do that either (I have zero willpower) but on the weeks that I do stick to that 1,600 I find that I lose about a lb. What gives?? Is it the height that screws it all up??

Anyway, I had an MFP account for a while some time ago, but just recently started up again with a new screen name, so add me and we can motivate each other!!! Good luck to you all

I'm in! 5' 3" and want to lose 20 - 25!

Love to join in, I have also been looking for people like me too!! :-) I am 5'3" and 69kg I think 150lbs need to be 120lb by October but mini target of 132lbs by 6th August which is looking very realistic at the moment!
I Must say the drive to reach mini target is stoping me eating all the exercise calories mainly because some look so high even with a HRM...

Also love running and want to get lighter to look better, feel better and run faster. :-)

I am 5'3" and have about 14lbs to lose

5'1" if I really stretch my neck, want to drop around 10-14lbs

Hey I'm about 5'4" and want to lose about 15 pounds! I lived in France for about six months (October through April) and now I'm back in the States wanting to lose some of the weight I put on there from all of the great food! (Not to mention some of the weight I've put on since high school!) 135 is my ideal weight because I think that's what I weighed in high school but 140 would be great too!

I'm 5' 4" and weigh 138 lbs. I want to weigh 125 lbs.

I am 5ft2 and 1/4.. yes the 1/4 counts. :happy:
I want to lose another 20-30lbs

BTW-- Awesome Group and Wonderful Idea!!!

LOL I feel your pain! I'm 4' 10.5"

Yay! I would love to join.

I am right at 5'4" and I need to lose at least 20lbs, I would LOVE to lose 25lbs. But I would be perfectly happy with 20lbs.

I really like the idea of this thread. I feel like people with less to lose have different struggles than heavier people. And those 20 lbs or so look different on a short person than they do on a tall person -- so the weight makes a huge difference, which adds another dimension!

I have been doing a bootcamp 3x a week as well. And at least 2x a week I have been trying to go to the gym and do the elliptical (it is too hot here to run outside now, but I am hoping to incorporate that back in when it cools down...which it doesn't do here until October). I am also trying to stay active on the weekends. My calories are at 1200 a day -- it is really hard on days when I don't work out. And SUPER hard on the weekends. Luckily my hubby just joined MFP too, so we are trying to do this together!

I think this will be a great group!
