    I feel your pain!!!! I am 5'2'' and currently about 124. Trying to get down to 118-120ish. Us shorties don't have much space for the pounds to pack on at! My problem area is my belly of course, but I am working on that. I am open for any and all friend requests!

    Hii!

    Im just 5'2 and 126 lbs

    Before getting pregnant i was around 120lb

    Ive never been tonned or a skinny girl!

    Finding it impossible to lose weight, been this weight for around 7 months now!
    Before i was pregnant i was never able to lose weight or really gain weight (not that i wanted to gain)
    Doesnt seem to matter if i eat lots or eat little im just stuck in the same place!

    Starting 30 day shred on monday (providing my weights arrive)
    Add me if you are similar!

    Hi Ladies,

    I'm 4ft 11.5 - No idea what my goal weight is yet - depends on how much lean mass I have left when I get to 140.

    I currently have 99lbs lean mass, If I can keep most of that, a healthy Body fat % of 23% will give me a weight of 129lbs.
    to get to 120, I would need a Bodyfat of 15% which I'm not sure is realistic, but we'll see - long way to go yet :)

    You can find your body fat % here - http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/
    Then get your goal weight based on your target Bodyfat% here - http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/ibw/

    Hi all, I am just about 5' and weigh 183lbs. I have set my first goal at 140 and I have already lost 10lbs in the month since I started MFP. Just thought I would share with you all a little quotation I saw recently with a picture of a short person on it "God just grows us until we are perfect .... some of us get there sooner!" ... made me chuckle :laugh: I am open to any friend requests if anyone would like to send them, I am a fun loving 55 year old living in UK :smile:

    Hi everyone!! I am 5' (when I stretch lol...maybe 4'11 :) VERRRRY much a pear shape as well! I have the low height, because any calculator I use tells me I should weight about 90 Lbs! It's like a bad joke because like I said I am EXTREMELLY hippy w/ a big ol' booty, so even 100 lbs. would look sickening on me!! ANYONE on this thread please add me as a friend!! I am always looking for more friends to motivate eachother, and come up with fun challenges to keep this weight loss jorney/lifestyle change fun and interseting!! ADD ME ADD ME ADD ME EVEYTONE!!!

    I, too, feel that what I'm told should be my goal weight is just TOO skinny. I would look like a little girl if I got down to 100lbs! I am 5'1" and currently 141lbs. My goal weight is to get down to 120lbs. I feel like that would be a good look for me. I'm stuck on 141lbs, though. Trying not to get discouraged. I know this is a process, so I'm trying to be patient. Oh how I would love to see 140 on the scale though! (**sigh**).

    I'm 5.2 and weigh 136. My goal is 120-125 -- whichever feels best when I get there! Far more into the slender look than the skinny look. I'm relatively new to this site, so always looking for new friends! Feel free to add. : )

    I'm 5'2" and 1 lb away from my first 10 lb goal. I agree that it's easier to stay motivated if you have increment goals. Good luck everybody!

    I am 5'2" and currently 137. I am working to get to at least 120...hoping for 115 eventually. Everyday is a challenge. It is good to find others with the same issues. I am trying to change to get healthier not so much for vanity...but fitting back in to my "small" clothes will be a definit plus!:happy:

    Hi all,

    I am just under 5'2" and currently 143 pounds. Wanting to get down to 125 pounds and then re-assess. I've been on MFP since January but had a 3 week relapse so as of yesterday am back into it again and more determined than ever :)

    Anyone feel free to add me, particularly if your daily calories are 1200. Is always good getting ideas of different foods to eat to keep it interesting.

    All the best on your journeys :)

    Hi, I am also 5'1". It is all about portion control, in you go to a country where people are short like us you will loose weight if you eat as they do: smaller plates, smaller portions, 3 meals a day and no snacks in between meals; maybe a mandarin orange in the aftyernoon or a cup of tea. I am now used to the snacks and that is my downfall, specially while watching TV after dinner. I am trying to replace them with fruit, plain yogurt or something low in calories. I need to lose 60 pounds. A cup of broth is only 10 calories and can make you think you ate a lot more, give it a try. Diet jello works to.

    5'2", I used to be 120 pre-baby, I'm 146 now...working on getting back there and possibly to 115. I put myself on a 974 calorie diet, and I still eat tons of things. I look for things that have super low calories and I've also been eating better, more fruits and veggies, but I still indulge sometimes with angel cake, only 160 calories for a decent size piece.
