Hi, I'm new to MFP, and I just admitted, finally, that I'm fat. I'm looking to have some buddies in the same boat to keep me motivated, and help me out. Anyone up for the mutual challenge???

    Hey,

    I'm 5'4 so not quite as short but just wanted to welcome you to MFP :) I hope you find some buddies soon but if you would like a friend who isn't quite the same, don't be afraid to add me. I will still encourage you!

    I've been a member for a couple of months. I am 5' and "WAS" 303 lbs. Now, 38 lbs later...I feel alot better and I am pumped to continue my journey to a healthier and sexier me...lol...

    My Fitness Pal has been a life saver and I live by it faithfully.....Even when I feel the need to be bad....It has definitely been a life changing event on this journey, but I am committed and relentless....

    all are welcome to add :)

    i'm 21, 5'1'' and i weigh about 145. i've been on this site for over a year and had once gotten to about 115, but i've gained a lot back. i was able to maintain 130-135 for quite a while but stress finally got to me and i've put on 10-15 more pounds, which i'm currently working on getting back off.

    Hi, I'm new to MyFitnesspal, also short - 5'2" if you stretch me and I need to lose about 50 lbs. It's great to see all of the short people banding together to reach our weight loss goals. Good luck everybody!

    I've got dibs on short...I'm very new here and I'm 4'9". I haven't lost a pound yet. When I fill in my food log it tells me to eat more calories and if I do that I gain not lose, which has been happening since I joined. I want to lose close to 80 but my short term goal is the first 40.

    I'm 5'4" and I feel short compared to my taller best friends(who are 5'9" and 5'10")...and my weight loss goal is the same as yours 20 pounds, so I think our situations are close! You can add me as a friend if you like :))

    I'm 5'2, want to lose body fat, maintain muscle, and end up at around 105 ideally but 110 is my short term goal (I'm 116). I try to eat clean, overload on protein, and exercise 6x per week. I've also started lifting recently. I'm on every day and obsessed with getting fit so please add me! I need more friends! :)

    Thought I would be the shortest at 4'10&3/4" lol... I would be thrilled to get down to 125... 16 pounds to go. I've been on for a couple of months but am very new to the forums and would love to add some friends for support!

    Hi, I'm also 5'1 and pretty new here.
    I started out at around 135 and am down to 127, my goal is to get down to somewhere between 100-115 and then work on adding some muscle once I get leaner.
    So, I too have about 20 lbs to lose.

    Feel free to add me, this is not just for the OP but for anyone who needs motivation/support..

    :)

    Fellow shorty here - 5'0" and need to lose about 30 pounds. It does seem it's harder when you're short - we can't get away with even an extra pound! My midsection is the major problem area. I just started this and it's really been eye opening to see how many calories I was consuming.

    Wow, I can't wait to add all of you, it definitely seems harder to lose weight if you're short. Or maybe I just like to make excuses for myself!! I look forward to hearing what everyone does to exercise, I am beginning with yoga and walking, just for the first week since I am so out of shape, I don't know how the contestants do it right off the bat on Biggest Loser!
