    I think some people feel that there are more challenges for people who may be shorter or taller than the average person. I don't know really, I just wanted to start our own support group.

    Hi! I'm 5'5" too. What do we have to moan about then hey that we are too average??? I always find trousers too long but i think because i have short legs. Any others here have that problem? :)

    Yes, I have to buy the "short" pants but I can't wear petite stuff.

    My problem these days are not the pant lengths because I usually wear heels and that makes up for being too long, my problem is my round apple midsection. I swear I wish they would make more elastic pants until I loose a few more pounds so I don't always have to go up a size to get a decent fit.

    Well, here's to average. 5'5"
    Did I read a thread that your BMI says 111 lbs?? That sounds so thin... I'm hoping and working for high 130s.

    Yes, I agree111 seems so low, but I guess it depends on how you carry it too. The lowest I ever was in my adult life was 130 and I had a VERY hard time staying there. I hope I can be 140-145 but I'll see where I am at 150 and if I'm happy with that. More fat to lose but I'm starting to tone up under my jelly ;-)

    I was surprised by it too and wanted to cry but it's motivation. I celebrate each and every pound I loose so I am not trying to make a goal for myself that I know will be close to impossible to obtain.

    My goal weight is 130.... I really don't remember weighing this little...ever. I remember being 140 in high school, but I was always very athletic and active. Maybe it was muscle? If it turns out I can't get to 130 because I'm not built that way, I'm fine with that!! I'd love to be 140-150 and strong.

    Weight definitely looks different on everyone....at 135 I know I look like I'm 115....any smaller does not look very healthy on me....20lbs to go!! :-)
