I am 4"10' and weigh 128, I was 95lbs in HS and if your anything like me you hate to say your weight because other people feel you have nothing to worry about. What I say "it has no where to go!" 1lb on me looks like 2.5-3 on normal height people. If you stretch me to even 5ft 5 I would be SKINNY! LOL
So if you are under 5 foot, add me!!

    I feel your pain. Im heavier than you, and taller =( Im currently 140 and im 5ft1. But when I tell some people im 140 they say 'oh i wish I was 140' But for me 140 is OVERWEIGHT! haha! I was 105 in high school. I want to get back down to around 110-115. I think 105 might be too little now that I have had kids and have hips haha. But I will make that decision probably when I get to 115ish. But good luck hun! You can do it!

    I am also the same way!, I weight 127, and would like to be about 105-110 ( I have a very small frame). People look at me like I am crazy if I say I want to weigh 105.

    you are not the only one!

    4'11" here.. people like us.. if we gain even 5 lbs people are like "OMG what happened to you!?"

    But conversely, if you lose even 5 lbs people are like "ZOMG you lost some weight!!!"

    I have many tall friends who can gain or lose 5 to 10 lbs without it being noticeable at all.. not me lol. Either way, people notice right away.

    You are all giants. I am only 4'9" :-)

    I've been between 108-115 since having my fourth kidlet, but I'm aiming for 95 with lots of muscle.

    Hi, 4 ft 10, current weight 162lbs, it's hard to lose weight when small, I don't think I have a metabolic rate.
