I'm 4'11, 128lbs, and I can wear anything from a children's size large or extra large ranging to a juniors size large or extra large! Just goes to show that sizes are ridiculous. Most of my jeans are a misses 4 or juniors 5. I have tops in so many different sizes, my main problem is finding anything that accommodates my…

I agree with the other "big boned" little ladies -- the women in my family are "dense" and "sturdy" ... anyway that's our euphemism for "big boned." I'm 4'11 and so is my grandma. We're currently both 128lbs but we carry it completely differently -- I can wear a misses size 4-6, while grandma is most comfortable in size…

Height 4'11 SW: 145 (size 11-13 Juniors) CW: 125 (anywhere from size 3-7 Juniors or kids L-XL. Maintaining all of 2013 so far.) LW: recent -- 113 (about a year ago but couldn't maintain it!!). I weighed 97 lbs in high school but I did track and cross country 3+ hours a day ... and that was nearly ten years ago. GW:…

When I started on here at 148lbs (4'11 also) I was eating 1200 calories a day and walking 30-60 minutes a day. I lost about 30 lbs in a year. I feel like the first 20 lbs came off pretty easy, the last 10 lbs took FOREVER and of course I gained some of it back! I have been maintaining 125 lbs since November 2012 but I…

When I started on MFP over two years ago, I only walked. I lost over 30lbs just by walking and logging food. Eventually I started to feel lazy and guilty for "only" walking -- so I added in the 30 Day Shred, yoga, zumba, pilates, weights, and other exercises. Ever since complicating my routine, I've regained about 10lbs…

Where on earth did you find that bra for $50?!?! Mine was like $78!

Wow, ladies, doubling up on sports bras is really bad for you. Especially if you're using the stretchy crop-top looking ones that just smash your breasts into your chest. Not good. Not good. Might as well work out topless. Doubling up on sports bras and/or using low quality sports bras causes tissue migration. Do you…

I feel like I just wrote this! I actually YELLED at my 5'11" boyfriend yesterday because he was eating MY frozen yogurt right in front of me, which was just plain rude because I was already over my calories AND I have food allergies so if he had to snack in front of me, he should have at least went for the regular ice…

4'11, 120ish lbs. waist is around 28.5 inches, hips are 37 inches and that puts me in a size 5/6 most of the time. I'm very top heavy, about 38 inches around the bust, just got fitted as size 30G! Just hoping to lose more off my waist to have a super sweet hourglass shape.

I lost about 30lbs and went from 36DD to 32DDD but I have reason to believe that something in the 28G/GG-30FF range may be more appropriate for me because my bras have never fit me correctly. I'm 4'11 and went from nearly 150lbs to 120lbs. My boobs are still proportionally large for my body. I have pics on my profile.

Make sure you're wearing the right kind of shoes. I've done the program twice (I LOVE IT) and for the second time around, my boyfriend decided to join me for some of the workouts. For the first two weeks he was running in BASKETBALL SHOES and he was wondering why his feet/legs/back/entire body would hurt him. He didn't…

Was that the right one to use? I hope so. I don't want a bunch of people to start yelling! AAHH THE YELLING!

I'm pretty close to the hypothetical woman you wrote about - 4'11, 120lbs - but I exercise and net at least 1500 daily (sometimes close to 2000 calories on 'bad" days). Even when I didn't exercise I found that 1200 was too low for me. I have no idea how people much larger than me get by on less than 1200 calories a day!…

Everyone looks amazing! My side by side is in my profile pic. Pink hair - 148lbs - size 12P - June 2011 vs Brown hair - 115lbs - size 4 - October 2012. I gained a little back in November because of Hurricane Sandy (I live on Long Island, New York, and we had no heat, hot water, electricity, or fresh food for two weeks so I…

I was always underweight and under-height as a child. I reached my adult height of 4'11 back in middle school and I never had a growth spurt. I remember a point in elementary school when I weighed 48lbs and was 48" inches tall -- I was always very small until puberty, when I weighed around 95-100lbs which was appropriate…

I cannot weigh in every day -- I get too discouraged when I don't see the progress that I think I should be making. Yes, I'm one of those people that runs for an hour and wonders why I don't lose 3lbs with each workout. I also have some stomach issues so even if I weighed in at the same time every day, it didn't matter…

"Still moving regardless of stable ground." It's a lyric from a Death Cab for Cutie song that I adored in high school and it's still one of my favorite songs. The song itself is about packing up and moving, but this particular line has a different meaning to me -- to continue pushing forwards despite the obstacles or the…

I agree with Piney ... 1100 is too low, especially if you only have 20lbs to lose. I'm 4'11, about 120lbs, and I "only" have another 10-15lbs to lose and I can say with certainty that the smaller you are and the less you have to lose, the harder it is! I started on MFP at 148lbs, inactive at work (customer service rep),…

4'11, went from spilling out of 36DD at 148lbs to still not properly fitting in 32DDD/34DD at 120lbs. I have SFW pictures on my profile. At 36DD my breasts took up the majority of my torso and even stuck out along the sides a bit, getting in the way of my arms. Now they take up less of my torso but are still pretty large…

I love that site. It's so interesting to see the variation in shapes. I haven't found my body twin on there yet because apparently being short with boobs isn't very common? So the women my height and weight look heavier than I do because it doesn't account for breast weight lol.

I'm shorter than you (4'11) but I went from 148lbs to 115lbs and I have a few before/durings on my profile. I gained a little back (of course) but yeah, in the comparison pictures I'm about 115lbs ... And 115lbs on 4'11 probably looks "heavier" than 115lbs on 5'1 :)

If it bothers you that much, then don't weigh in, Think about it ... 1. Your body is building up your uterus with all the things necessary to support a baby. Now I don't know about your flow, and I don't want to know about it, but think of all the fluids that you lose during your TOM? That stuff certainly has some weight…

Uh, thanks for your incredibly helpful support. I guess I'm just making it up to sell a product. Yup. For a while I suspected that all my doctors were full of bollocks, but hey, I only live in New York and deal with some of the most experienced professionals in their respective fields.

So nice to see success stories from other people my size! How many calories do you eat & also burn per day?

Thanks for all the suggestions! Nuts and seeds are out of the question because certain healthy fats and amino acids (you know, the ones that are NECESSARY FOR SURVIVAL) are linked with increased inflammation which may result in headaches. For a while I thought it was gluten, but after some *exciting* and *interesting*…

I dye and fry the hell out of my hair, so I try to avoid washing it unless my scalp gets itchy and my hair gets that stringy, greasy look to it. I used to have a really short A-line cut (short in the back, long in the front) and I seriously could go for two weeks without washing it, and I styled it in a…

hate onions too, but for me it's the texture. both raw and crunchy or cooked and slimy, totally grosses me out either way. btw i've seen people on the internet describe this as a "selective eating disorder" to which i replied, are you fcking kidding?

the bottle says it cuts grease. i'm trying a new colon cleanse. i saw it on dr oz.

and i really can't believe that the majority of you have never tasted soap! i'm only 24 and i've had my mouth washed with soap as a child as a punishment for cursing ... i've also accidentally eaten decorative soaps shaped like hearts (i thought they were candy) ... i've also intentionally tasted soap and lotions that have…

Exactly ... genes aren't always expressed the same way for all people. I forgot if my mom hates or loves cilantro, but most of my family members dislike it. Thanks for sharing the link! Also it's crazy how people either LOVE or HATE cilantro, but few people are just "meh" about it.
