    Hi! 5'1" here, currently at 148ish and trying to get down to 120. It seems it's harder to lose weight the less you have to lose. I need the motivation to keep going!

    I'm 5'1", and 162... :frown: I'd like to lose about 35lbs. (More would be nice, but I'm a realist...) Friend request sent!

    I'm 150 right now, and I'm 5'2.5", so definitely a shorty. It's harder for us! when I run at 6.0 mph, I feel like I'm at an all out sprint, and the amazon girl next to me is just effortlessly jogging away at 6.5, haha.
    LOL - I can totally relate... I jog on the treadmill at 4.0-4.5, input it and the database has it as "very fast walk" - say wha?!? And, yeah - my runs are at about 5.0, and 6.0 is a quick sprint burst.

    I'm 5' 1.5" and 158lbs. Started at 186lbs... I've got about 30 more pounds to drop.

    I think running/jogging speed can improve greatly with more training, even for us shorties. My dad is about 5' 3.5" but he can outwalk everyone else at the track park. He's been doing tons of speed walking since middle school (school was 5+ miles from his home, and he walked to save the bus fare and buy snacks!) and it definitely shows. He walks faster than I can jog.

    Wow, good to know there's more women like me out there. I am 5'3 and currently weigh 158lbs. When I first started my weightloss journey a couple of years ago I weighed 172lbs. I lost 25 lbs, but then I gained about half of that back and re-joined MFP this year. My first goal is to get to 145lbs, but ultimately I would like to get down to 125lbs.

    Feel free to add me... I need more friends my size too.

    Is everyone on here at 1200 calories a day. I feel like that is too hard for me to stick with. Can short people lose weight at a higher calorie intake? I work out almost everyday and I eat like 1400-1500 calories a day. I have not lost any pounds, but I have lost 9 inches. Will the weight start coming off? Or am I eating too many calories still?
