    I'm Vicky and I'm 4'11.5" on a very good day ;). Love talking to other "fun size" individuals because taller people don't seem to understand what a pound does to us or that are calorie counts aren't crazy given our heights :P.

    I know 10 pounds is a lot on fun size people, even as little 5 pounds makes a difference almost a whole jean size.

    Hi, I'm 4'10" Glad to know I'm not the only shorty:). I have 2 grown children and 2 grandaughters ages 1 and 3. Need to get serious about getting in better shape. Hard with being short. Taller people don't understand, 2 lb is like 6 on a taller person. Hope the support will help keep me motivated.:happy:

    Do you notice a difference? In the past when I've lost weight nobody's noticed until I lose 20. Soooo frustrating. Though my jeans did feel loose today.

    Yeah I can tell just like you can tell that your jeans are loose..

    Wholly mackerel there's a lot of Shorties! Just made this group yesterday and am very please with how many members there are already.

    Hello everyone!
    My name is Brittany and I'm a newbie to the group.
    I'm 5'0 and my HW 151, CW 130.5, GW 120-125. Looking to shed about 5-10 more but more importantly to me, tone up!

    I'm so happy that this group exists! I know that I've found it challenging to see others have multi-pound weekly losses when I may only lose a .5 lb but I surely worked HARD for that darn pound to go away! It's great to have a 'fun sized' support network who understands, so feel free to add me.

    Cheers to each of you on your healthy journeys!

    Another shorty here. I'm Jean and I'm 4'11" . My goal is to loose 35 lbs and reduce BF from 44% to 25%. My daily calorie goal is 1600, which I haven't been doing very well with. it is based upon calcs I did on fitness frog:

    Light exercise: TDEE 15% cut
    1800 1552
    Mod. Exercise: 2058 1749

    I figured the 1600 averages out the two calcs on exercise
    My diary and profile are open if anyone wants to have a peek.

    Haven't been as successful as I had hoped loosing weight, but have lost alot of inches.

    Inches count, sometimes it just shows in inches first then the pounds come later... don't give up!!!

    "Fun Size"! I love it! I'm 5'1" and currently 155lbs :sad:

    HW: 180 :noway:
    CW: 155
    GW: 125
    UGW: 115

    I'm starting Insanity tomorrow and can't wait to see my 60 day results. As a 'fun size' chick I feel like I have to fight for every single pound I lose! Taller friends just start to exercise and lose 5 lbs every week and within a month or 2 they're at their goal. So frusterating! Good to know there are others like me!

    Hi everyone, it is so good to be with all of you "fun sized" folks! I am 55, 5 feet even. I only found MFP a week ago but I have already learned so much, especially that I simply have not been eating enough. What a bonus!

    My stats:
    SW - 120
    GW - 110
    Fat % - 23
    Goal Fat % 18%

    I used to think my goal was unattainable but no longer. Between all of the information I have learned and those of you out there who have been so generous to share your progress and results I know this is doable. AND, now add on women who are my size and understand the impact of gaining or losing a single pound - I am in love! Add me and we can continue to support each other.

    Hi! I'm 5 ft 1 in and weight 130.5

    I'm really hoping to whittle down my hips, love handles and maybe not have my thighs touch for summer. It's super annoying to have my thighs touch when it's all hot and humid in the summer. Slowly getting there.
