Hey everyone!

I'm just shy of 5'4. I'm pretty athletic, but have kinda fallen off the train here thanks to the holidays and other stresses. My biggest problem is that once I start eating junk, my will power goes out the window! I hold most of my weight in my lower body (butt and thighs), and every added pound on my body is equivalent to 10 or more pounds on my taller friends! Anyways, I lost some weight training for my half marathon a few months ago after being fed up with my weight (the highest it had been). I am hoping to run a full marathon in 18 weeks as a goal for 2012! (Hoping I can meet my goal weight while training for the 26 miles).

I hope that we can all provide support and reach our goals together! Wishing everyone the best!

Hi all, I'm 5'1" on a good day, CW 135.4, have dieted on and off for the last few years, losing 70 pounds total after many times of see-sawing. I am at the lowest I have been since I was a teenager and hoping to reach 115-125ish by my wedding in May. Here's to all of us shorties!!

Hey, I'm 5'1'' and considered morbidly obese. I'm trying to take it one step at a time instead of a fad diet this time. I want to quit squeezing into a size 20 jeans and not want to vomit when I look in the mirror prior to a shower

GW: 130-160--Not sure because I've never been below 190 that I can remember.

Hi, I'm Alyx. I'm 5' 2.5" (I like the extra half inch :happy: ). I was 175 when I joined a little over a year ago but now I'm currently 135 (I think... I haven't weighed myself for a little over a week... I left my scale home when I went back to the dorm- getting it back tomorrow though). I'm not really sure what weight I want to get to... at this point I need to concentrate more on toning and doing more exercise. I just want to get to what ever weight is healthy for me and look good. Feel free to add me if you want.

Welcome to MFP! You'll get a lot of support here, although of course, it really only works if you want to put in the effort. Good luck!

Hey! I am 5'3" give or take a few centimeters. At my highest weight over 3 years ago I was 190+ (I don't really know for sure because I refused to get on a scale I was so embarrassed.) I dropped at least 50 pounds in 2009-2010. Then my grandfather passed away and I slipped.:sad: I gained another 20 something pounds. I remember getting close to 170 (was around 163-164ish) when reality set back in beginning of 2011.:noway: It was time to truly take care of myself and not allow stress to ruin my life. My boyfriend has been the biggest support and motivation for me all this time. I am currently at 138!:bigsmile: With a potential proposal on the way (he has hinted) I want to be fit and fabulous for our wedding, and the rest of our lives! My goal is to lose another 20 something pounds. We shall see how it goes

Good luck to all of us here! Shorties Unite! :drinker:

I am 5'3" (I consider this average height).
I just had my 1 year anniversary with MFP on Feb. 3rd., I lost all my weight from Feb-Aug 2011, and kept it off this whole time...Now I'm greedy and I want to lose 6.8lbs more Add me if you would like!!!

Hi Folks,
IT REALLY WORKS

I have been on here since 01.01.12 as a firm new years resolution and just wanted to say as a way of encouragement this is the best most effective weight loss I have ever ever achieved.

You reap what you sow - so get involved with making pals, (add me as your first if you are shy) commenting, chatting and adding to forums it really is a motivational strength.

I started at 10stone (141lb or 64 kg) and am now at 9stone 5lbs (approx 131 or sub 60kg) over 57 days.

The difference is incredible! I hadn't really considered what that extra weight looked like (I am curvy any how) but I have realised that us shorties don't need to lose much to make a real difference.

I am now in a position where getting dressed for work is tricky as none of my work trousers fit!

So my message to you newbies is simple - Come on in: it really works; with help and support and diligent logging of my sensible meals; I can see my target weight in sight!

I hope to meet you on your weight loss journey, good luck!

As I am sure we are all painfully aware, carrying extra weight on a smaller body can be a bit tougher. It is definitely more obvious when we gain. I get really excited to see others my "size" because their success helps me to determine where I stand in my weight-loss battle.

Best of luck to everyone on this journey toward being healthier and happier.
