I am 28 years 4"11 very short and started at 230lbs! Too much weight for my body. I have lost 19 lbs since July of 2011. I am working hard to reach my healthy weight of 120lbs. I need supporters, motivators and friends! :smile: :happy:

    I'm 5'1" and never posted before. I'm in the same boat and would love friends and suppporters. I'm not ready to put my weight in writing yet, but after I reach a certain magic number I'll get some courage :) Feel free to add me!

    I started in June at 224lbs (I'm 5'3" so a little taller than you, but still short!) and am now 174lbs. :) My goal is 140lbs, but once I get there I might decide to keep going to 130!

    I know how you feel. 5'2 and started out (hate to admit) @ 280lbs. A lot of strain and pain on my knees. But now 221ish and still working my way down! You can do it!!! I say we are vertically challenged, but we don't have to be horizontally challenged too!

    I'm 4'11 and started at 178. So I haven't quite been in your shoes, but I know how you feel!

    You *can* do it. You really can!

    I'm 5'3 and started at 236lbs. I tell friends all the time that if I CAN do it, anyone can lose the weight. I have had a food addiction all my life and rarely exercised before having an AHA moment. I still have ways to go so I am all up for a support group if one is created!

    Hi All, I'm 5'4" and 235lbs and I'm just starting out (again!) It's good to see other shorties with similar journeys/goals.
    Feel free to add me, but please tell me you found me from this post (I just like to know!)

    5' 6" checking in. I started at 230. My goal is 180. I know that's still heavy for my height but 180 looks good on me.

    Somebody should start a short group.
