Any short ladies(under 5ft4in) under or goal is under 130lbs

Hi everyone Im 5'2'' and 47 yrs. old and I'm 153 and struggling to get down in weight. Ideal weight would be 135 to 125. I could use all the help I can get . Especially from my more mature friends (feel free to add me) as it gets harder as you get older to lose the weight.

I am 5.2 and right now I am 163 lbs. In high school I was 125 lbs but still wore a 9/10 and right now I am in a 12. My goal weight is 120 but to be smallerjeans to fill better about my weight. I would like to lose 43 lbs. I have a cruise in May so that is my goal!

Oh this is a good one...I'd like to see as well! I'm about 5'3", 166lbs and my goal is to get down to 120-125lbs. Please be sure to include all that you did to help lose the weight! Thanks for starting this post!

Wow we are so similiar! Exact same numbers for me.

5'1" and aiming for 125-130lbs
starting weight was 193.6

I wish people would quit calling 5'4" short....i'm 4'8" haha!

I'm currently 111.8lbs and and trying to gain muscle. My goal is still under 130 though, so i guess it still counts

I'm 5'2, weighing 150 lbs, and my goal is to get down to 130 lbs. I'm bustier, and frankly, being too small wouldn't balance me out, so I need to keep a little something so I don't look like I'm going to fall over.

My friend is 5'2 as well, and she used to be my size, but after much diet and excercise, she's down to 117. I'd say that's too small, though, by looking at her. She's naturally got heavier bones than I do, which means she should probably weigh somewhere about 123-125 for a more ideal weight. If I were 117, I would literally be skin and bones.

So....I think it really depends upon your body type. It's not just height/weight ratio. It's about how you carry your weight, and where you carry it. Balance is key, and nutrition is most important.

(I say this, admitting that I have horrible nutritional habits and am currently unbalanced. But, I've been making great progress on the nutrition -- just need to get the exercise up.)

I am 4'11", and 57 years old. Goal is 115 lbs. Currently I'm 135, so another 20 lbs. I'm really hoping for 3 pounds a month, so I should be at goal some time this summer.

Wow, we are close. I'm 4'11" and 41 years old. I'm 131 right now with an initial goal of 115, but might re-adjust that to 110 once I'm there. I'm starting a weight routine so that might make me happier at a higher weight. I just want to have great shape and look toned!

I'm 4'10" and weigh 135 currently :-( My goal at this point is 115, anything less would be extra rewarding. I have a small frame, so when I married, I weighed 92lbs. Believe me, when you're this short , even 5lbs shows.

I must agree with you wholeheartedly! For every 5 lbs I gain I go up 1 size in pants. So, when I weighed 110 I was a sz4, 115 a sz 5/6. Now that I'm 131 I'm a sz 10. Horrifying!! I envy my taller friends who can gain 5lbs and you don't even notice. Ugh!

I am 5'1" and 149 now and would like to get to 120 and see how I look there. Anyone please feel free to add me. It's nice to have support for others.

I am 5ft 3 and 125 lbs . I am working on toning and doing cardio and weights to improve same . I have pictures in my profile as to where I am at now .

I posted a topic a few days ago. It's titled "Almost there". My success pics are on there. Nov. 2010 I was 184lbs. And I'm 5"4'. My before pic is of me at 193lbs. and the after is of me last week (152lbs). I've lost a few lbs since. I hope to be down to 130 soon. Good luck!

Height to weight ratio

Happy to see so many fellow short women! I am 5'3", 128lbs and have a goal of 110lbs. I got down to 118lbs this summer, but put some weight back on this fall/winter. I wasn't happy still with how I looked at 118lbs so I'm hoping 110lbs will do it! I think all of the gaining and losing weight my whole life has had a toll on my body. I have been very active over the last 2 years, but I just can't seem to get as toned as I want. At least I am in the best shape of my life at 34 and can run a mile 4 minutes faster than I did in high school! Good luck everyone!

I'm 4'11" and my goal weight is 109. I'm currently 114, but started out at 223 in September 2010.

Congrats!! That's awesome :bigsmile:

Thank you

Im 4' 11" and my fiancee is 6'2'' I find it totally unfair to look at what he can eat and I can eat. He also likes to eat out but stays a healthy weight. UGH!

I hear ya! I'm 4'11" as well and my husband is 6'2"! He could stand to lose a little weight and was adamant that he would never diet but since I started MFP he has actually been tracking what he eats too.
Congrats on your engagement! Make sure you wear crazy high heels to the wedding!
