Hi everyone! I know there is a group for girls 5'4" and under, but I thought it would be a good idea to build a place for us girls 5'0" and under, since a lot of things aren't designed around us. Remember, this is a place for us to talk, ask questions, and give support.

It is nice to meet you everyone! (*＼(^-^)／*)

    HI HEALTHYSMILE! I'm so happy you are here~:wink: I actually just went through the same thing you are talking about here on MFP. I asked a question about calories and a couple guys thought instead of answering my question, that it would be better to convince me I have an eating disorder (simply based on my goal weight) and that I needed to gain weight. One of them went as far as to browse the photos in my profile and tell me I looked too skinny, ESPECIALLY in the photo I took with my cell phone...

    Thing is, I'm white and the the other girls in my album weren't just asian, but they look nothing alike! :laugh:

    I am 4'11'' but round it up to 5'0'' :P

    l know what you mean! My goal weight is 100lb or even less, but to some people it is definitely too low - but for my height, l don't think it is! xoxo

    I have been looking for a group like this. I'm in. I am 5 feet tall. My goal is at the high end of the spectrum for me at 130 /125. I have been trying to get back down to my post boot camp weight that was 133. Post boot camp is the smallest I've ever been. I am currently at 150 now and I can't wait to meet my goal.

    Us shorties will make it to our goals go US! If you want a MFP friend send me a request.

    i'm 4'11, currently at 138ish and looking to get down to 115 by halloween. idk if that's a reasonable goal. i weighed 97lbs in highschool, but back then i ran distance track for like 3 hours a day and that was before i dabbled in drugs and alcohol. i personally don't even want to weigh that low because i think i'd look weird without my curves.

    i get so frustrated because the "healthy" weight range for someone my size is SO MUCH lower then where i'm at now. i don't think i'd look right if i weighed less then 100lbs -- i'm not a child, i don't want to look like one :\

    Yay!! I am 4'11" and currently 112lbs having lost 19lbs since Feburary (or 100 days according to MFP!). Ideally would love to get to 107 - but at the moment I have come to a stand still - not too sure what to do next?! However, I am quite happy - just really need to tone a little. I am in the UK. Friend me if you like! Angie x

    I'm not under 5', I am 5'3" but I just wanted to pop in here and give you guys my support. I saw all the flack you got about your goal weight and I agree with you. People under 5' are going to have way lower ideal weights. And they are going to have lower calorie requirements. I am on my way back to 140 but at 140 and lifting heavy weights 3 days a week I wear a size 4 in any brand jeans. I also cannot eat more than 1400-1500 calories a day to maintain 140lbs, and that's with lifting weights 3x's a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week. So if you are under 5' and are not working out you are going to have a lot lower calorie needs. I workout because I enjoy it, it gives me more muscle and allows me to eat a bit more. good luck girls.

    Hi all! I am 5' 0" , CW is 183 and GW is 113 right now, so I have 70 pounds to lose. That is hard to even say or comprehend for me, but after 4 babies, I have a LOT to take off! I am glad to see some other "Fun-sized" ladies on here, because I think people don't really get how it is to be this short and what someone who is 5' 0" should really weigh.

    Good luck to everyone on your journeys!

    Oh, and also, my current calorie goal is set at 1200, but also I am breastfeeding my baby several times a day, so that adds 300 to adjust for breastfeeding an older baby (lower than the standard 500 usually given for breastfeeding.)

    I hope it works and I will keep ya posted!

    What do you all think of the 113 goal for a 38 year old mom of 4 who is 5'0"?

    5'0" here as well (I think, we work in CM and the converter told me I was 5'01") :)

    Nice to see a thread dedicated to those of smaller stature!

    I'm on 1200 cals and only eat all my exercise calories when I'm hungry, otherwise I try and eat about half :)

    Hi All! I'd like to join in :) I'm 5'0" as well. I'm currently stuck at 114.6 and would love to lose about 5 - 10 lbs by my wedding on 9/24/11. I have been eating my exercise calories back and have my cals at 1200, so I'm thinking I should shoot for closer to 1000/1100 and not eat back my exercise cals to hopefully break this plateau. Glad there's a group here for us super shorties!!
