    Hi, I'm Jen! I'm 5'a and 108 currently, and looking to get more fit. I'd like to be somewhere around 102ish, unless I can gain some muscle. Problem is, I'm a bit lazy, so what I really need is some motivational but kicking.

    My name is Tina. I am 5' 1" and 173 pounds. I just recently started on this website and I am doing the Jillian Michaels 90 Day Body Revolution. I lost 2 pounds the first week; which is good for me. I would like to at least get to 140 (that's my first goal). I am looking for others who are vertically challenged to motivate me along the way. Please feel free to friend me.

    Hey, I'm Katy. I'm 5'0", 128 lb and from New Zealand. Ideally, I'd like to get to around about 118 lb or less (110 would be perfect), but at the moment my goal is for 120 lb.

    Hi I'm Janett and I'm 5"1 and also have 50-60lbs to lose. I'm currently at 178 and just want to look fit again and not over weight. I can figure out what number looks good on me as I get closer to my ideal weight. I'm tired of always feeling tired and not being able to do many things with my daughters. I'm glad I found this group. Please feel free to add me and I'm in the Modesto, California area if anyone is around me.

    Just got back from the pool. I swam as hard as I could (breaking to catch my breath, as to not drown) for an hour! I think I can, I think I can.... Down to 120 now!

    Hello my name is Bobbie Rose O. I am somewhere between 5'2 and 5'3 depends who is doing the measuring. I have two daughters 17 and 12. Ever since I had my oldest I have never been able to lose any weight. Then I got pregnant with my youngest and seemed like I grew even larger. It's difficult because before I had my daughters I was 100 lbs and now I am double my size plus some:(. I'm just looking forward to losing at least 20 then I will work harder from there.

    HI I am new to MFP and to this board. It was very interesting I found a board for short people. I hope to be encouraged and encourage. I am about 5'1". I only weighed 100lbs 3 yrs ago, After I got kidney cancer I gained up to 150 a lot of meds. I am still on meds but cancer is gone. weight stayed..also since then depression high blood pressure and also I am on bipolar meds. so it seems as if it is an uphill battle to lose weight. Since I have found you I am determined I am going to lose at least 30plus lbs.
    I wish all good luck in their endeavors. I hope I can stay motivated.
