    Already posted but I suppose I should say a little more about myself...
    I'm 5'4", started at 157 lbs. and tried the 17 Day Diet for a while, it worked amazingly and I lost 12 lbs in just 3 weeks! But now that summer is coming it seems less practical, so I want to start eating a little more normally... my final goal weight is between 120 and 125, and I'm at around 142 right now. I'm not new to MFP calorie counting but new to the message boards, so please add me as a friend if you'd like!! I need some people I can relate with! :happy: Good luck to all of you!!

    Also, what are some tricks you've found to lose weight when you're getting closer to your goal? My weight loss has been moving so slowly since stopping the 17 day diet! My calories are set at 1200, and I'm always under (sometimes maybe a bit too low - still kind of trying to stick to the diet). Thanks for any advice!

    I'm 5'3 and currently 142lbs, would like to get down to my fit weight again of 126lbs...that's what I weighed when I used to work at the riding stables, I was eating processed rubbish but doing physical work and hours of riding every day and the weight fell off without me even trying. This time i'm eating healthily and going to try and achieve that again with structured exercise at home. I've accepted that dieting does not work for me, when I left that job my weight went up and despite dieting on and off for years, my weight's never gone back down. That was the only time in my life when someone has said to me "you're looking skinny!"

    edit: so 16lbs to lose!

    Our height limitation is what really makes it difficult for us to loose. We just do not have the metabolic rates that taller girls have. If I eat the 1200 calories that is recommended I would only loose a 1/4 pound a week!!!

    So I have adjusted my calories down to about 900 to 1000 and then try to workout with a calorie burn of about 600 a day, so my TDEE comes to about 2100 to 2200 a day. I eat back only part of what I burned. So I am keeping my calories to about 1300 to 1500 daily.

    Hope I didn't confuse anyone.....lol

    Oh, please feel free to friend me ; )

    I'm 5'2" and 142 (that's what the scale said today, not changing my sig till it's consistent). I'd like to be about 120 or so, but am not sure. Basically, I'd like to have much less of a tummy and lose some of my boobs, but I don't want to be a stick,

    Hello ladies!!! I'm a shortie too... 5'2" and currently 141!!! I'm so thrilled to have lost the first 40 pounds, now for the final 10 or so. I know my ticker says 6 pounds to go, and that's really my goal (normal BMI range), but I think now that I'm this close and feel this great, I may try for another 5 after that. That would put me at 130 and I haven't been that small since I was 19!!!!! I'll be 40 next year and want to be a hot mama!

    Running is my main thing right now, although I do try to strength train twice a week as well. I'm finding muscles and bones I forgot I had, which is awesome, and I have had to buy all new clothes since I'm literally 1/2 the size I was last summer!!!! From a 14-16 to an 8!!!! Wow, who knew counting calories and working out really worked??? Just kidding, it's so simple, but so hard. I'll get there. It's not a race for me, this will be my lifestyle until I die! Started training for my first 1/2 marathon last week, so I'm excited to hit that milestone in September! So glad I'm not the only shortie out there!!!!

    We're almost exactly the same size. What do you do for strength training? I just do pushups and crunches.

    Hi All! I want in on this group :) I'm 5'0" with 7 - 12 lbs that I'd still like to lose. I'd be satisfied with 110, but I'd really like to get to around 105 for my wedding in September ;)

    When I started my WLJ, I was doing WW. I then added P90 and lost about 10 lbs with that program. WW hasn't been working for me as well lately, so I'm experimenting with counting calories and tracking points to see which is the way to go with where I'm at now. I've been doing Turbo Fire for about 3 weeks, and have actually gained 2 lbs since starting it (was down to 115, now at a consistent 117). Kind of a bummer, but my body has changed, and I'm wearing smaller clothes. So, eh! Not sure if I'll actually get down to the number on the scale that I'd like to see, but I'd rather have a certain body composition if the number isn't attainable.

    MFP has my calories set at 1200. I struggle with eating enough and keeping my metabolism revved. Trying to get better at eating back some of my exercise calories and eating more during the day. I tend to eat too many of my calories in the evening.

    Happy to have found a MFP group for petites! We definitely have a different WLJ than other average sized people.

    Hey everybody! I am 5'3 and want to lose 30-35lbs and I would love to join this group!! This group is definitely what I need to help motivate me to do just that! It is always more inspiring to see people in your same height group to get a better and more realistic image of what your goal weight will look like when you get there:bigsmile:

    I'd like to join too! I have about 8 lbs to lose, and I'm 5"3 as well... I mostly just want to look good in the clothes I already have and lose the muffin top!

    What can we do keep motivated an motivate eachother? Maybe we should do some challenges or something??

    I wanna join!! 5'3" with 15 pounds to lose. Have been here for 11 days and haven't lost a pound yet. I think my scale hates me, I am having trouble getting all my calories in, seem to hoard them instead of spend them, but working my tail off at the gym. Confused about calorie intake. MFP starts at 1200 but trainer says 1500 at least. All info so confusing. But whatever it is, I am not getting enough I guess since it is not showing on the scale yet.

    Love MFP, need lots of help! Your group will be great for me.
    thanks!!

    5'3" && not really sure how much I want to lose... Somewhere between 10-20 pounds. I guess i am not sure because I don't know what my body is going to look like each step of the way. 160ish now, got big boobs and hips and an hourglass figure wiiiiith some bulky muscle. Mainly want to lose/tone up the belly area! Good luck girls, any advice is greatly appreciated. :)

    5'2" with 20-30 pounds to lose. I'm 145ish and would like to be between 115-125! I'm sure it won't happen too fast, but then again the weight gain didn't happen to quickly either.

    I'm between 5'1 and 5'2 and want to lose at least another 5-10 pounds. I currently weigh 130 and definitely want to get down to 125 and evaluate from there and then get down to 120 without losing my curves. :-) Yay short girls! :-)
