    I'm in at 5'3"! I'm 47 until Sunday and have been losing since Aug 15th. I reset my goal from 162 to 150 but I'm at 170 now with 23 lbs lost. I'm not much of a work outer but I'm getting a heart rate monitor for my birthday so when I walk the dogs and do 30DS I know my calories burned are correct. Feel free to send me friend requests "little ones".

    Happy Holidays --- I am 5'4" and 35 yrs old - started out in June at 254 --- today I am sucessfully down to 214. I still have 15 pounds before I hit my first goal ... it was a big goal. It came off fast at first, but now it comes off very slowly. I don't let that discourage me. I Zumba twice a week and my husband and I play table tennis at least twice a week. Every little bit of excercise helps! My biggest goal is to be at 165 - and I would like to acheive that by June ... my anniversary month of losing weight. That was the weight I held my junior year of high school and felt the BEST! I know I can do it - I just have to be realistic that it will take time.
    Good luck all - you can do it!!!

    Hey guys I would like to join! I am a great big 4' 11" my current weight is 127 I would love to see 110. Being short is crazy at times.... like buying clothes, I mean for real the petites are too long lol! Over all I guess its all good. I started MFP being over 200 lbs so I have actually lost the bulk of my weight but like many others after having two kids my body is just shot! It's time to start toning now (prob should have been doing this all along) hopefully that will make things go back into place!

    Hello everyone, I am about 5-2 birthday in Feb the big 50. I have lost 15 lbs since joining MFP current weight is 166 would love to be at around 125 (I think). Weight is coming off slow for me, but trying to stay accountable with all I eat and drinking lots of water I am seeing changes. Would love to join this group and have other short friends. Please add me as a friend. Wishing everyone much continued success on this journey.

    I would love to join!!! I'm 36 years old, a wife of 10 years, mother to a 5 1/2 year old and an 19 month old and work full time. I'm 5'4" with my shoes on and just weighed in today at 168.8!!! I met my Christmas goal early.....my pre-baby weight was 170 and I've been working hard to get back there and I did!!!

    I'm halfway to my "final" goal of 145 (but plan on reevaluating when I get there). It's hard not to think/write "if" in that statement because in my 10 years of marriage I have only been that low on a very unhealthy unsustainable diet that I quickly gained all the weight + more when I stopped it.

    I'm a little off the exercise wagon lately but watching my diet and making positive choices has allowed to me continue my weight loss and I'm hoping to take advantage of my gym membership soon. Hoping I can be a support to you all as I know you will be a support to me!!!

    Where do I sign up?! It is fantastic that there is a group for petite people. I talk to a lot of my friends and family about wanting to lose 10-15 lbs to get back down to anywhere from 112-115. They all say that is way to low in weight and i'd be skin and bones. Do they not realize i am half a foot shorter than them?! I am exactly 5 feet. Packing on (or losing) 5 lbs is very noticeable on anyone around our height. Very excited to talk to people who understand what i am trying to accomplish.

    Side question... Where do you find work out pants and capris that fit legs in length?! The pants are always a good 3 inches too long and the capris are almost long enough for pants. OH, the joys of shopping for workout gear.

    Hi!!! Can I please join?

    I'm 5'3 currently 175, start on this site was 250. Mother of 2 beautiful kiddos, oldest my son who is 8, my youngest is a girl and she will be 1 on Thursday.

    My goal is to get down to about 125ish. Maybe 130 I really don't know yet. I want to tone and have a cut body (don't we all?). I'm a full time mother, who has no transportation during the day, so my only out is the internet and I work out from home with DVD's and Wii, I also walk and about to start the couch to 5k.

    My name is Melissa and I'll be 30 on March 16th.

  • Hi, I'm 5'1" ish, and have 65 pounds to lose in stage one ... getting to where I look and feel better about myself. Then on to stage two where I lose another 40 pounds to meet what I'm "supposed" to weight according to all the weight charts.

    I have two wonderful teenage boys, a dog and two cats. We are out and about a lot, but no real exercise for me <sigh> we do have a gym membership that I never use....I have got to change that - could use encouragement there !!!

    Hello everyone,

    You have joined this group by posting here. Welcome.

    Barbiecat is right. Everyone needs to find what works for them. There are some basics that seem to work for everyone: posting all your calories EVERYDAY; posting in the forums for the support, great ideas and as a place to vent; never give up and take one day at a time.

    I put on weight in 2011 for the first time since joining MFP several years ago. Due to family situations I had stopped posting and stopped exercising. My goals for 2012 are to get back to the basics: posting and daily exercise. I know the regained weight will go away and I can continue working towards my ultimate goal of 125 pounds.

    Hubby just walked in the house with our Christmas Tree, so I need to cut this short.

    Have a great day everyone and good luck making good choices today.

    Jeannie

    :flowerforyou: I think everyone is busy with holiday preparations and events.......I hope that we're all posting food and getting exercise so we'll be healthy and at least maintain our weight during this food filled season.

    Good Morning Everyone!! I am not going to go off on a whining tangent here but suffice it to say that I'm really having motivational problems with eating and exercise. Somewhere in my being I need to find the motivation I had when I first started here on MFP in Spring of 2010.

    I hope everyone is doing well and if you celebrate the upcoming holidays you are enjoying it =)

    ^^ I too have what (I think) are massive boobs and I am very self conscious of them!
  • Hi all! :)

    I'm about 5"0-5"1, currently weighing at 101lbs. I started at 117lbs, and lost some weight through exercising before I joined MFP. It was an arduous and slow process before I got here because I solely rely on my intuition on how much I should consume a day. After joining MFP, my weight loss has been more consistent. I'm now leaning towards my maintenance and toning up my thighs and bottom. (Pear shaped girl here :sad: )

    But anyways, nice to meet you all. Have a blessed holiday season! :flowerforyou:

  • Hi -
    I am about 5 ft and 28yrs old. I currently weigh 117 lbs i have lost 2lbs since starting!!! my goal is about 105lbs. My motivation for doing this is because i am geting married in June 2012. I am finding counting the calories fairly easy at the moment, i just need to get motivated with the exercise.
  • hi all! i haven't posted in a while so i thought i would :)
    things are going okay...personal stuff going on that's not helping in the weight loss zone.
    i'm 5' even, 136lbs (up 1 pound from my last weigh in) but down 7lbs since i started this journey in june. pretty P.O.'d at the gainage so i'm hitting it hard!! i want to be at 125.
    things are changing, toning is happening, inches are slowly coming off.
    i do have some exciting news! my company is building us a gym, opening jan 1st. very excited!! i'll start taking classes weekly, which i can't wait for. Also we have a monthly Wellness Incentive and january is a discount on the BodyMedia arm band!! i'm SO getting one and very excited for that too!
    starting off the new year right!

    Any thoughts on the BodyMedia armband? anyone out there have one?

    Happy Holidays

    Hello- Me too all of that- except I got married in June 2011:) I am very much an exerciser, want to keep toning and such. Haven't lost much weight to speak of in a looong time though.

    Hello everyone. I'm 5'2" and through myfitness pal I've lost 5 lbs. Exercise is key for me--both for weight loss and happiness. I walk at least 2-5 miles daily, wearing a pedometer helps.

    I'm woking out to run a 5K (3.1 mile race). 2 days a week I do interval training on treadmill. It involves running for 30 seconds as fast as possible, & then walking for 30 seconds (for me it is more of a quick walk/jog). Continue that for up to 30 minutes. The other 2-3 days you just walk for 30 minutes. I also lift weights, do squats w/weights, etc.

    I may have a slight advantage as my hubby is into weight lifting and helps walk 2 or so miles daily. We just want to stay healthy in our older years (46/45 now).
