Anyone else here 4'11"?

Posts: 12
Okay, so I am super short at 4'11" (just couldn't hit that 5ft mark!). I am also super curvy and weigh in at about 150lbs. Once upon a time I was 120lbs and that is where I am trying to get back to... well 120-125lbs. I remember reading a while back how a girl that is 4'11" should be between 100-110lbs and that just seems absurd for my body type! Soooo, other short girls, what weight are you shooting for? What weight do you think is healthy for girls our height?

I like to say 5ft - my Husband insists I'm 4ft 11.5, and he's right
I'm currently 176 - can't remember the last time I was under 140, so aiming for 133 first and then seing what I can do after that.
Good luck 0 -
I plugged your info into the BMR calculator and according to it your healthy weight is 92-123 pounds so there's a general idea.
Edit: Either 92 or 96.. now I can't remember.0 -
5'0 here!
Started at 170. Currently 111 and shooting for 105 first. Then I'll probably wanna go down to 100.
Given our size, it's not unreasonable at all to go as low as 95. In the end, it's all about where you feel comfortable 0 -
5'
160 SW
headed down to 120
You have to take in to account your muscle mass as well as your frame size. At 120 I wore a size 3 and at 160 I wear a 12. I have a larger frame with barrel chest and broad shoulders. Try finding a site and checking your wrist size with the charts to see what might be a better fit for you personally.0 -
I am also 4' 11" currently I am 113.5 lbs I started off at 132 lbs. Right now my weight goal is set to 107 but we shall see how that goes!0

^^^^ Your're down to 113?? OMY congrats0 -
I am shooting for 100-105
I am currently 120 and have been stuck here FOREVER!! ugh.0 -
Yea, I think I could probably get down to 115lb and be okay but with my frame I really don't think being 100lb will look good on me. We will see how I feel when I get down to 120lb 0

Yea, I have read that at this height even 95lbs is reasonable. It isn't reasonable for me because I don't think I would look good at that weight!0 -
I'm 4 ft 11 and proud lol
Also very curvy , I'm 144 llbs and want to get down to 133, dont wanna go any lower as I lose bum and boobs lol0 -
I am 4'11 issh too! It is extremely difficult to be thin for me to because I am naturally curvy. I've been stuck at 110lbs for almost 3 years now but I look like I wiegh 120 because of my build. My current goal is 103lbs and it has been extremely difficult to reach. Ive managed to drop down to 107 but it took almost 2 months. Its not an easy path!0

I'm 4'11 and currently at 109...working back down to 105 (my summer weight). I think a lot depends on your frame. 0

Lol you're all so little.0

I'm 4'11. I started out at 190 and I'm trying to get down to 120. I've never been that small, the smallest I ever got down to was 150 and I thought I was awesome! I just can't imagine myself getting to 120 or lower since I've never been there. I also have really broad shoulders, so I wonder if I actually CAN get small.0
-
I'm 4'11 and a half. I count that half! I swore I was 5' my entire life, but....a recent measure just proved me wrong.
I would love to get back down to 100 lbs, but I was skinny fat back then, so...I'm guessing around 100-110...I'll figure it out once I get there. 0 -
Me! I'm around 128 right now and trying to get to 115! Add me if you want!0
-
hehe. Am I the only one shooting for double digits? 84 is my goal weight.
I'm a 5'2'' shortie and currently 970 -
I'm 5'0 and never been less than 110 in my adult life (and that's with HARD work!). Generally I'm between 120-130, but I like being 115 and my goal is 110, but honestly I just want to lose the body fat0

I'm a 5'2'' shortie and currently 97
Hehehe... I weighed 97lbs most of my adult life. (I'm 5'4".) I used to say that I didn't want to weight over 100 lbs because then, if someone asked my weight, I'd have to begin my answer with "one hundred". It was a joke...kind of. ;-)
In my 30s I gained a little weight, and felt I looked better at 110 lbs, than 97.
It's all so personal, though.0 -

Yess. I think after 30, it's definitely better to be at a BMI of 18 or above, it looks more natural. But for younger us, we can get away with with a lower BMI, especially if already too short, curvy & small framed like me for example.0 -
I'm 4'11" ..and 1/2" (couldn't leave the 1/2" off) lol
CW = 103.6
GW = 95-100
But I am more concerned with toning now than with losing more weight0 -
I'm 5'. I started out at 198.8. Not sure what weight I want to get down to ultimately but I just want to get to where I look good and feel good.0
-
4'11 too. I started at 162 and I'm now down by 4lbs. I want to get to about 125 , which was how much I weighed the last time I was satisfied with my body0
-
I want a group picture, with everyone of you. 0

You know what, if you look friggin great at 120 and are happy with that, then stay there. I think BMI gives a general idea, but is pretty imprecise. I'm a shorty with an inch on ya, my goal is 100 lbs, but mostly I'm focusing on fitness. If my arms and legs are nice and not so jiggly and I'm still the same weight, I'll be happy. And my belly ponge, haha!!0
-
i'm 4'11.5" That .5 makes all the difference. I started at 173 in October and am currently at 163 but have been stuck here a while. I would love to get down to 115. Thats my ultimate goal but i have never been that little before. If anyone wants to add me feel free 0
-
I'm right there with ya Im 4 10 currently 152. And want to at least get to 120 but I also have d cups so well see0
-
I'm at 4'10.5" and at 133. When I was in my late teens/early 20's, I weighed in at 95-100 lbs. and was constantly told I looked "sick." I'm hoping to get down to 110, but would be happy at 115-120.0
-
I'm a shortie too, 4'11 and a 1/2. I'm 115.8 right now, looking to maybe get to 110. I do have a fair amount of muscle, so if I don't lose alot but get toned, I'll be happy with that.0
