Hey everybody...I'm 5'2" and currently 190.7lbs, which is down from 204.4 at Thanksgiving. It's nice to have a group of people who are in the same place as me. There definitely are huge differences in short and "regular" or tall people.0

Good Morning and Happy New Year.
I'm excited that this group was created, I wish you was here in January of 2010 when I first started Myfitnesspal. I managed to loose 12 lbs within 3 months. But felt so discouraged cause I thought I would lose more and grew very bored after I finished the 18 weeks of Turbo Fire. Then I gained the weight back and then some.
As of right now today I'm 180,5 lbs. I'm 5 feet tall and its sooo difficult to move around. I have no energy, purchasing clothing is getting tougher. But the lack of mobility is the part that gets to me the most. So I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. Which I can imagine if I'm still this weight when summer comes. -_- .0 -
Hi I'm a shortie. 5ft 3/4 inches. I accept my height but not my weight. Looking foward to changing that in 2012.0

Whoo hoo - great to see a group for petites and wannabe petites!
Just starting out here on MFP and loving it so far.
NY Day weigh in was 141 lbs/64(ish) kilos and I am wanting to shift the 2011 excess!
My mantra eat less move more, so I am looking forward to keeping on track and joining in others journey to being fabulous fit and feisty in 2012.
Happy New Year

Hello all! I'm 5'1(almost 5'2) and at my heaviest ever...200 lbs and a size 16/18.
I am cruise bound in less than three months and would love to to lose about 8-10/ month to get me down almost 30lbs by the cruise. A big goal and I may not succeed but it's good to have a dream! As long as I get going and keep focused, I will be happy with whatever I can lose. 0 -

Hello!
My name is Stephanie. I am 4ft 9in, I weigh 123 right now, I was 140 last March. I have been slowly and steadily trying to get healthy. My goal is 115 right now, eventually 100-110. I have pretty much come to terms with my height, I have a short mother and relatively short family. But the short jokes get old and I get at least ONE every time I meet new people. They are always like "You're so short!" and I just want to be like "Oh really?! I havent even noticed, THANK YOU for telling me something I had no CLUE about!" But most of the time I just laugh and say yeah I am... I enjoy being petite. I enjoyed it more when I was a size 3 or so... but at a 7 its ok. I was a 12 last year and thats when I had a wake-up call... I started seeing pictured of myself and was appalled! So now I am working on staying healthy and working on my goals. I guess I am just looking for some short buddies who will understand the frustration of shopping for short people and every other challenge that comes to being short.
Thanks!

Hi! I'm new to MFP and at just 5 foot 2, it is time to get this weight off! I am now at 215 and at my lightest was 130. I would like to get back to something close to that. I'm so glad I found this group as I know you ladies understand how I feel.
Thanks!0 -
Hi all!! I am 5'4" and have 122 pounds to loose. I am a mother of 3 ages 10,5, and 4. I am also a wife. I came here for support as I start this looong journey. I'm so ready to be a happy, slim women again! I look forward to working with you all!0

Hi everyone. I'm 5'1", and currently 137lb, down form 171lb (that's 9st 11 down from 12st 3 to us Brits!) since Feb '11.
My goal is somewhere between 8 1/2 stone and 9 stone (119 - 126lb), I haven't decided yet, and I'll see how I feel when I get there.
My main struggle is that despite having lost a fair amount of weight, I haven't really gone down a dress size yet (UK 14 to start, UK 12 / 14 now) and it can be quite discouraging. So my 2012 plan is to do more strength training and toning, focus less on the scales and more on how I look and feel.
Good luck to everyone I hope that we can all achieve our goals 0 -
Happy New Year!
I'm 5'2 but generally don't feel all that short because I'm in heels a lot! However, the pounds do seem to hang on us shorties a bit differently. My goal for 2012 is to lose about 60lbs. I live in south Florida so I cant hide under bulky sweaters or jackets without looking ridiculous and this year, I don't want to. I want to lounge around South Florida in a bikini. Feel free to add me, let's encourage each other!0 -
Hi there, I am 5' 0. I have been loosing weight for a while.... was down to 133 before Christmas (started at 165) but after eating white four and carbs over the holidays I am afraid to get back on the scale.
I find it most challenging to find time to exercise and have the most insatiable cravings at the end of every month. I think this is the year I want to live in my bathing suit at the beach.....Let's help each other reach our goals. Feel free to add me as a pal......0
