    Hi ndarji921. I hear exactly what your saying! I'm about half a inch shorter then you and on the last five pounds of my journey. 20 pounds can be a lot on us vertically challenged individuals but it can be done! Feel free to friend me if you need additional motivation :).

    I'm 5'2", started in January at 130 and am at 125 now. I'm hoping to get down to 115, but will be happy at 120. I feel like I lose a lb. gain it back, rinse repeat...but I'm slowly getting there! Overall I'm eating healthier so that's the most important thing. Feel free to add me!

    i am 68 ....5 feet tall and i know what you mean, but after all these years i have maintained 120 lbs but it has not been easy so just remember there are a lot of us out here and it can be done.......i think for ones like us lots of exercise is the main thing along with watching your calories.

    Feel free to add me, too. I agree I feel like my appetite does not usually match the size of my body. But then again, neither does my (normal/prior to a recent injury) level of endurance, so I guess it all works out.

    I am 5 foot 2, currently between 105 and 110 pounds. Probably close to 110 because I've been stress eating like a mother****er.
    I have varied everywhere from 140 to 90. I don't have a set goal weight exactly, I just want to be really toned. Even when I'm less than 100 pounds I don't feel good about my body, so I think I need to get more muscle and I think that will help (I am naturally quite muscular already, which I notice in a lot of us petite girls who aren't of the stick-thin variety).

    And currently, being more specific, I am trying to get down to 100 for a wedding of my friend's on August fourth. I put myself in such a crappy spot by buying my bridesmaid dress when I was smaller than I am now :/ So in order to fit in it comfortably, I'll have to loose it. If I do not, I am sure that I will starve myself the week before the wedding in order to make it work. (I do have a 6 year history of an eating disorder, been in recovery for the past 4 - the behavioral symptoms are gone, but I still have a terribly body image).

    Wow sorry I did not intend such a long repines to this. But anyways, good luck! Add me if you want.

    5'3, my current weight is 125 and im aiming towards 118. im a wrestler and i normally wrestle 119, so i have to be under that. I made it last year, and was able to maintain it throughout the season. this year, i just want to get down easily and healthily. i figure if im already around that weight by the time season starts, i wont have to worry too much. according to the test we took last year, i cant go any lower than 114. i wont be losing a ton of weight, but i would be happy to motivate and support anyone who wants that extra push. I will gladly give advice to anyone who wants it, so feel free to add me:)

    I know the feeling :/ I'm 5"0 and 125 lbs but that can be a lot on my small frame. And it takes so much longer for the results to show on a smaller people.

    i'm in a similar situation. back in april i bought a size 4 bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding this october. it fit a little snug but i figured i had plenty of time to knock off a few more pounds before the wedding. WRONG! i put on about ten pounds since then (which is a lot because i'm only 4'11). when i tried the dress on last week, i couldn't zipper it up and i wanted to cry. what makes me crazy is that i joined a gym in may and have since then only GAINED inched AND pounds - ugh! anyway i'm trying to stay positive and get down to 100-105, or at least fit in my freakin' dress, before october. good luck to you!
