    I'm 5' even. I'm at about 113, now. I was 104 before I had kids and when I was doing triathlons. I want to get back to that. I am pretty muscular now, and I do have proportionally broad shoulders and ribs, but I know I have 5 - 10 lbs of just fluff that I can stand to get rid of. It sure is hard to lose those last 10 lbs. Soooo hard!

    i'm 4'11. i started at just under 150lbs about a year ago, and now i'm down to 117lbs. 115 was my original goal (and i was there for a little while), but i'm thinking i can afford to lose some more pounds. when i was a freshman in high school (was that ten years ago?! wow!) i weighed 97lbs and ran competitively. i'm not sure if i want to go below 100lbs, but even at 97lbs i had a curvy shape.

    Hi I'm 4ft 11 and proud of it as well. People find it difficult to guess my age which is great! I started my weight loss as part of my New Years Resolution and so far have lost 9lb. I would like to lose another 6lb which would take me to 120lb. I can't remember the last time I was that weight so I know it will be a huge challenge.

    4' 10.5" We all seem to count that 1/2 inch. I remember weighing 90 lbs, in fact I saw a picture of me at that weight and realized I looked a little sickly. About 3 years ago I was down to 112 and that was pretty good. A couple years of being ill landed me at 130 so now I'm trying for 110. Since I got better, I am working out again and would rather look toned than sickly so I think 110 is a good weight for me.

    I'm 4'11 and 3quarters! I want to get down to 110. My goal is a body like Hayden Panettiere the actress. We have similar body type. Long torso and shorter thicker legs. I was 115 or so when I graduated high school but I had put on a few pounds from my asthma meds. I think Haydens body at 5foot and 110 is beautiful. Most women my height should be between 105 and 111 my doc said, depending on body type. I was a dancer and gymnast so until I got out of school and moved in with my now husband, I was always in shape. This extra weight is killing me, I know it.
    Hopefully I can get to my goal soon!

    I'm 4'10, currently 142. I was 98 pounds in high school, until my boobs came in. Once I reached my full C-D cup, my lowest weight was 107 - and that was pretty thin. I'm shooting for 115 - 120, but would be ecstatic if I could get to 110. I'm not sure I will actually ever get there, as like I said, a little top heavy for my height - and I want to keep my curves! I really just want to get some muscle back and look and feel healthier!!:wink:

    Another shorty here

    I am 4'11.5 and I started my journey 2 years ago at 196.5 and I currently weigh 147, my lowest was 138 back in October but my running slacked and I gained 13 pounds which I have been able to take 4 of those off.

    My goal is to reach 129, which is my high school weight(which was 25 years ago) and I thought I looked real good then. Even at 138 my husband thought I looked great but to me I still had alot of fat to lose. So right now I am training for my first half marathon, which is May27, so all I am doing right now is running - once that race is over and I have had time to recover I plan to start weight training. That will really help with the toning.

    Feel free to add me. :smile:

    Another 4'11.5" one:-) I have struggled with weight since I was a teenager. All of the women in my family are short and tiny. I think I got all of their fat cells. I was 120-130 throughout college and 145 when I got married. I felt great at 145 but my goal has always been 130-135. Three kids later, I have yo-yo'd between 165-190. I am currently about 180 and trying to move down to 130. It seems like such a long way to go and I have tried so many times. I just have to do it. I would love some friends that understand this challenge of being so short and trying to keep the weight off.

    I'm 5'1" and I used to be 98 lbs (I was 13, and definitely not anorexic). I was healthy at that weight and not too skinny. Right now I'm about 120 and I still have a lot in the belly area to lose. I'm shooting for 105. Again, your body could very well be different. My body type is rectangular and athletic, and I'm mostly lean. (Not curvy at all)

    Hi,

    I'm 5 foot nothing. LOL. My starting weight was 131.5 and my current weight is 123.2 and I would like to get to 118. I was down to 121.6 until I went to Orlando for my vacation and put on 1.5lbs. So I joined the lose 5lbs in May challenge to hopefully motivate me to get to my goal before the summer.:smile:

    I am 5'. I started at 193 lbs. I am now down to 125 lbs. My goal right now is 120 lbs. Once I get there, I will see how I look and feel. Being I am also 50 years young, I don't want to loose too much too fast.

    Are you my twin? Lol

    I'm also 4'11 in the 150's currently, started off in the 160's. 125lbs is my goal weight as well. I liked how I look and felt at that weight, plus anything less and my head will appear big lol

    I am 4' 11" and started my weight loss journey at 176.4lbs after my pregnancy. Today I am now down to 113.5-114lbs. A few more to go and then I will start focusing more on toning up :) All of you can do it! Good luck

    I'm in the 4'11" club. For me my ideal weight is 140, which I'm currently at. Anything under 135 and I start looking skeletal (as it is my collarbones are already quite visible). I've always been buxom with a thick torso, so the BMI "ideal" range for me just ain't happening.

    I'm 4'11" and started at 113 in early May. Three years ago I was 97 lbs. then I quit smoking. I gained 20 pounds during the first three months. Been trying to lose it since. Last summer I got down to 110, but bounce around that from 108-115. Currently I'm at 109. Goal weight is 100 but would really prefer more muscle, less body fat. I have 23% body fat. And I absolutely HATE my big waist.
    Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me.
