Hi, I am 5'2" and 140ish. I am looking to get to 120 to start and then maybe back to pre antidepressant self of 110.

Are there any other petites that would like to encourage each other? 5 lbs on us is like 10-15 on others

[MustangSally]

sure...i'm 5'2" also, but i am built stocky...at 149 i'm a 6 to 8 (depending on who makes the clothes)...

[Beckyfl1]

Well, I got both of ya beat! I'm 5'0 and started this journey in August at 145. I'm now down to 126lbs or so I carry my weight "behind" me, so I WAS a size 12 at 145lbs...now a 6/8 at 126. My mini goal is/was 125lbs...my ultimate goal is 110-115lbs. Not too far to go! but those last 10-15lbs are the worst!!!

Welcome to the group

I wonder what my build would be called. I also wear an 8 (Levis) or 9/10 other brands.
I literally have a tire around the middle. I could deal with a bodacious booty but forget the gut--Not Sexy!

ha ha ha...I will be the fatty of the group 5'1 & 150 lbs, size 14 as of today....trying to get to 115, size 4

Sandradee,
yes, finally someone stepping out that's petite.
I've been to embarrased to put my stat's down because of someone saying I don't really need to loose, but your right... it's hard to loose a few lbs. when your a small frame. I really get tired of people saying there's nothing on me to loose or you have to have it to loose it. My gosh, just see me nude and then they would agree.

my stats are:
5'3
9/28: 153
10/10: 151
10/24: 148
11/07: 145
11/14: 145
11/21: 141
11/28: 140
12/9: 137 @ 5am then around 6:30 jumps back up to 140. Don't understand that but glad to see it coming off still.
GW: 125 or anything close to it!!
Even now I wear size 6/8 depending on quality or stretchiness.
Bust: 38
waist:28
hips: 39
Not taking Phen at the moment. wanted a break for a week to see what happens.

thanks for posting!

well im 5'2 i weigh 124-125 depending on what day. Wearing size 9..yuck want to be in a 2..LOL yeah right I'll never get there

[MustangSally]

Well Ladies....I was 225, and I am 5'2"...although I have alot of muscle weight from being a runner in high school and being in the army way back when...so i can carry a bit more weight and be okay...i bought some pants at old navy today size 6...I am currently 149. And considering I used to buy 20's I'm not going to knock me being 149...I'm proud of it! I am on the other side of the spectrum of being short...when i go to the dr, he says i am overweight according to their standards...they never even consider that i have muscular legs and arms....it gets frustrating...

[ChunkE]

I am 5 feet, and I weigh about 164. I wear a size 12 right now. In the past I have been as high as 225 lbs, wearing a size 20 (Ahhh, it's is so not fun trying to find a size 20 petite). I am unfortunately a yo yo dieter, so my weight has been all over the place. Two years ago I got down to 135lbs, and I was wearing a size 6 petite. I know that sounds odd, but I am so compact, and worked out religously then, so i was all muscle, my BMI was well within normal range than due to the amount of muscle that I had. Right now my fat is all in my behind and GUT. (I've had 2 c sections, so it's not pretty!!) Soooo, I am going to shape myself back up, and tone up.

It is so true that a small amt of weight can look like so much on a short, small frame. I will tell you all though that I love my husband so much, this is what he tells me.."Oh honey you're not fat, you're just short. Five pounds looks like a lot on you because of that. I love you like you are, no man wants some skinny bag of bones anyway" SIGH...Love is blind!

[Melba]

well I am 5-4 and I am the fatty of the group..lol I am 165..and worked so hard to get there. Even there I am short.. I am large chested very..and I am thick built. Being that skinny would not be good for me. I want to be 150 145 low side.. but I am taking it day by day.

[ChunkE]

Melba, I need to tell you that you look great. I love your outfit in your pic, it's so flattering. You have worked hard, and your pride shows on your face..GREAT JOB!!
I can definitly identify with the boob thang, I too have some large knockers!! And a booty that is pretty ample, so it kinda evens it out. People always say to me.. "You look good though because you're so well proportioned" UGH, so my fat is nicely distributed!?!
Anywhoo, you keep it up girl, you are making amazing noticable progress!!

[sandradee]

WOW! Thanks for all of the responses.
Mustang, I can relate to the muscles. I was a runner in high school (over 20 years ago) and then I was in the Air Force. Even when I am very thin I have large thighs.
Molly, 16 lbs in two months in awesome. I hope I can do as well.

Off to go sledding with my son. Hope all have a good day.
Sandy

Mustangsally,


Honey i know what you mean i have the same promblem when i was 145 i was in a size 6 and my friend was 130 and in a size 12 even though she weigh less then me i wore a smaller size so that's one big reason i stay clear away from the scale..... im all about pants size im in a size 16 or 14 now and my goal is to be back in a size 6 or even 8. Im 5'0 feet tall and the hooters are 36 DD along with my muscular calves thoese two things never seem to shirnk so as long as i get into my 6's or 8's im happy. all you ladies remember GREAT things come in small packages!!!!!!!!!


good luck i just had to post us pettie ladies need some understanding!!!!

Hugs& good luck,

Julia

[jaspernotting]

Hi Sandradee! Hi Julia! My weight of 135 is equavalent to a "typical" woman into her 8th or 9th month of pregnancy... and that's my weight! Boy I won't even dare tell anyone my weight!! But I still fit very comfortably into size 6/8 depending on the cut... well, I'm not ambitious but hoping to rid myself of some more fats by being a veggan!

[Alexis_in_Maryland]

Shorty (and a fatty) over here.

I'm 5'1", and I weigh 151.5 pounds. I have been stuck at this darn weight (with a bit of a yo-yo here and there) for longer than I care to mention, but my signature tells how long incase you want to know. lol

Although I'm 5'1", and weigh 151.5 pounds, I wear a size 10 in pants. Judging by the size 8 pants that I tried on in Hecht's this morning, it won't be long before I can start buying a few of those pants sizes. Thank goodness for inch loss! My waist gone down a lot this year since I started eating less/better and moving more.

Geez, I am so so so looking forward to getting smaller. I'm stick of being 151.5 pounds. I'm too short for this weight. Or I'm either undershort instead of overweight. lol
