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

Wow, so many shorties out there. I am 4 feet 7 inches, my starting weight was 178, and my goal weight is 100. I joined MFP on December 1, and have lost 9 lbs so far. I have medical issues, so loss is slow, but I haven't seen 160 anything in 2 years, so I am excited to have made it this far. I have not set a date for my goal, but hope that I can get off some meds soon and that would make the numbers drop faster. I could always use more friends!

I am 5' 3"
start weight was 173lbs
goal weight is 130lbs
i have 14lbs to go

I'm 5ft 1" 140 pounds would like to get down to 125 by summer.

I'm 5'0 and started out weighing in at 210 lbs after having my little boy. That was my heaviest weight, always weighed around 150 before pregnancy. Now I weight 104lbs. and I see a dietician on a regular basis and she tells me NOT to loose no more weight that I am were I should be for my height. I am very happy with the way I look now and I have the best body I've ever had since high school. I'll take a 106 lb weight loss, I thank God every day for the mindset to loose the weight b/c I could'nt stand to look at myself in the mirror at 210lbs. I work out every day and God gives me the energy to workout and take care of my little boy who is autistic. Sometimes its a challenge but God is good!

Just started on mfp, and I am 5 ft on the dot. I started at 160 last September, and have managed to get down to 143! My goal is 125-137, depending on how I look

I'm 5'2'' and I am currently maintaining between 130-125

I'm 5' 2.75"... I like to round up to 5'3". I'm 48 yrs old and have two full grown girls. My journey was a long arduous one. I have RA and exercise can be trying to nil at times. My highest was around 163-166 and lowest was 128 and I maintained for many months in the 128-133 range. I went from squeezing into size 8's, because I refused to move into a double digit size to fitting a size 2- 4 depending on designer. Time of Month reeks havoc with me. I came back after going to Denmark, Italy and London for more than 2 weeks and totally throwing my healthy eating habits out the window. I'm back up to 136 but am determined to reach 129 again before going back to maintenance on my own.

Good luck on your journey.

I'm 5'4" and currently 137.1lbs, my short term goal is 125, long term would be 120 which is what I was in highschool like 12 years ago and 125 is what I was when I got pregnant with my first born. I was up to 153 in November 2011 and started MFP in January of this year. Pretty much all I've been doing is watching my calories with MFP, and I started doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred to help tone up, and just trying to be more active (taking walks with my family to the park, etc.) Feel free to add me if you want to trade tips. Thanks!

Great thread!
I'm 4'11" or less. I state it that way because the last few times I've been to the doctor... it seems that it has fluctuated. Between 4'6" and 4'11". How can that possibly be?! I have been 4'11" my entire adult life until the last 2 years... so maybe I'm shrinking with age. Here's the rest of my stats:
Age: 50
SW & HW: 153 lbs.
CW: 147 lbs.
GW: 98 - 110 lbs. (will see when I get closer).
(I weighed 95-98 lbs throughout college. 98 lbs. when I got married.
Highest weight while pregnant with 2nd child was 130 lbs.
Was an athlete & striving to be one, once again!. Also, one main goal is to get off blood pressure medication. Was always very, very low until about 2 years ago. Also, am very small boned!)

That's me in a nutshell!
Good luck to all of us!

New goal weight 120!!

Good lu7ck to everyone

We're almost exactly in the same spot! I'm 5'2" (barely) and my highest weight in January of 2012 was 175. I'm now at 168. My goal by late summer is about 125, and I hope to hit 115 and probably stay there by the end of the year. I never really had a weight problem until I had a kid (who is now 2.5 years!) and followed that up with a terrible broken foot injury requiring surgery and 9 months of total immobility. I used to be a runner, not super competitive or much into races, but for the fun and zen of it--would log maybe 25-35 miles in a week. That went out the window and I am slowly getting back into it through run/walk intervals.

I'm 5'4 and 135-137. I wanna be around 125.

I'm 5'2, and my starting weight was 159lbs. Today, I weighed in at 139.5 lbs...and I'm definitely going to keep going. My goal was 140lbs, but now I want just a little more!

I started with a lifestyle change- I became vegetarian in Oct 2011. By December 2011, my husband and I were going to the gym regularly, but because life can be crazy we had stopped going. I now work out at home with my kinect (which is an AWESOME workout, i highly recommend it!). I have been using MFP since we started working out and I *think* I've done pretty well with sticking to it....i Log absolutely EVERYTHING! and it has definitely trained my body to be fueled with my goal calories per day.

I do have a cheat day here and there, you really have to otherwise you'll be miserable.

To be honest, ideal weight can really be different for everyone. Where do YOU feel most comfortable, most healthy?
I think anywhere from 120-130 is considered "ideal" for our height....but keep in mind, this does not necessarily estimate for peoples ethnicity, bone density etc.

Internally, I have checked out as completely healthy at this point, yet according to society- I am "overweight".,..still!
I am feeling good at my current weight, and would be happy staying here, but now that I have been so inspired, I do want to keep going so I can do more toning than weight loss.


I think the "ideal" weight is where YOU feel comfortable with yourself...my opinion, maybe others will disagree

I'm 5' 1" and weigh 160. My highest weight was 187. my attainable goal is to be under 130 by my brothers wedding in September. My biggest challange is not grazing when bored or lonly. I'm 52 and living by myself for the first time in my life. My kids, and my friends are a great support!
