5'2 shorties

jonrenly

I'm 5'2, my starting weight was 130 and I felt awful. My lowest weight since joining mfp was 110, but then I gained a lot back and am now around 120-125. My ultimate goal is 105 lbs. I do about an hour of circuit training a day and around 20-30 minutes of yoga. my biggest problem is my tendency to binge eat that I picked up after a history of anorexia, every day is a struggle but I'm working on it. Right now I'm on a 2-day streak of not binge eating, fingers crossed that I can keep it up over the weekend...

Hi I am 5'2 and since December 2014 I have lost 25 pounds. I was 153 pounds at a size 14 and now I weigh 128 at a size 6. I tried eating 1200 calories a day but wasn't seeing much results. I kicked up my calorie intake to 1600 daily with cardiovascular workouts four times a week (mostly spinning) and now the weight seems to come off easier. I also gave sugar and all sodas.

This was a few months ago at 120lbs, i go up and down a few pounds. I would like to get back to 110 or even 105. I'm bottom heavy so I'm currently an 8 in jeans.105lbs would put me back in my size 5's. really though I don't care as much about the number on the scale, I just feel flabby. My stomach jiggles, my arms jiggle. I want to lose some body fat and gain some muscle

I'm just under 5'2"...5'1" and 3/4s LOL!

I started Nutrisystem at 185+ lbs Feb 5, 2009 (but my highest weight was in the 220 s previous to that- I was struggling with weight issues for a while). By Aug 21, 2009 I was down to 119 lbs. Never did I dream in a million years it was possible. My original goal was 140 lbs, but the plan was working so well for me and I really like the new way of eating and lifestyle I went beyond my expectations. NS gave me the tools to learn how to eat to live and not live to eat anymore. It was a complete lifestyle change and a my journey to wellness.

After losing the weight on NS, I've been maintaining using my own foods for the better part of 6 years. Turned Forty Feeling Fit Fabulous and Free.

Me at +185lbs-Before Nutrisystem and After 115lbs at My Photo Shoot. Thank You NS : 70lbs Down
~Forty, Fit, Feeling Fabulous and Free!!!~





Shortly after reaching goal in 2009 NS sent me to this photo shoot here in Canada and posted my Before and After Pics (for call-ins on TSC)-The Shopping Channel (Canada's version of QVC). A few months later they sent me to Toronto for an amazing weekend doing live airings on TSC. I had so much fun meeting other NSers sharing our success stories. We did 2 days of shows and is an experience I will never forget.

NS works!!!


PS> they also got me the most fabulous "little black dress" for the pics, which thanks to NS still fits me today.

Pre NS: This is me at 185+ lbs. This is how I looked from my mid-late 20s and throughout my 30s. I wore this dress everywhere...weddings, anniversaries, Christmas Parties and funerals. I often got asked "when i was due", "nope I'm not pregnant...just overweight". I'll never forget the meet and greet open house at my daughter's grade school one year. The teacher walked up to me with a big smile on her face and said "congratulations, how exciting, when are you due???"....awkward ::)


Last Pic:Recently taken in May 2015. New little black goal dress, still fits 5 years later.

You look amazing :-)

I started at around 135 (my heaviest weight ever) at 5'1 back in October and now I'm down to 104 lbs. I started with low carb and lost the majority of the weight (down to 115) by January. then moved onto a normal calorie deficit diet and mainly did cardio and just ate less and healthy whole foods for the most part. I'm not where I want to be yet- now I'm focusing on body weight training and hoping to build more muscle!

This is before at 130-135 lbs (not exactly sure at the time this pic was taken) I avoided the scale for about 2 years until I started caring about my body again!


This is me in Hawaii with my husband at 119-120 lbs back in November.

This was taken a few days ago at 104 lbs...

Amazing progress! Honestly I have never seen a close comparison of how us shorties look with a little bit of weight on us! I am close to 5' and lost almost 65 lbs and went down to 129 but I couldn't maintain very well, I am now back at my goal and started working out again. I am at 140-145 lbs now depends on the time of day. Anyway, your pictures are sure make me reach my goal. I don't do much cardio though, and noticed you wrote that you did running. Is that all you did? Sorry to ask! thanks!

Also for OP, I am5'0 and started April/ May 2014 at 189lbs! Anyway, I started MFP and watched my calories and then started working out middle of June 2015, I went down to 129 lbs and was very content. I didn't realize that I lost so much until December 2014, I felt happier and better in everyday. Well of course holidays and I noticed I getting a bit bigger and started realizing that's to easy to eat a little of this and that to bring my old habits back, I am now at 140-145 and while it did take almost 4-5 to gain still a lot for how long it took me to originally lose my weight. Hope this helps. I know this process is long for us shorties! Hope to see your progress in a few months, be proud even if its just a few pounds because remember one milestone is better than none!

I just starting MFP and have synced it with my Fitbit. I have 50 lbs to lose so (5'1") it's been inspirational to see your posts here! My photo is my inspiration (it's from 11 years ago--at my current goal weight--of course I wanted to lose 20 pounds then!!) So, is anyone a vegetarian here?

I'm 5ft 1 started this journey 7 and a half weeks ago and have lost 16bs .. My goal weight was 9 stones I have 2lbs left to lose but I'm going to lower that by another 5lbs as its more body fat I'm looking to lose to reveal my abs .. My core/stomach is solid I can feel abs just can't see them yet! I went from 33% body fat to 25% I want to shred and then bulk but it's going amazing so far

I'm late to this thread, but I wanted to add some input! Maybe about 7-6 years ago I hit my highest weight at the mid 150's (don't remember the exact number because I was ashamed of the reality of my weight and also wanted to avoid the hard number). I was maybe a size 8, which is definitely not large without context, but when you consider that I'm 5'2"...

I lost weight and got down to about 122-124 about two to three years ago, mainly because I wasn't severely depressed anymore and did not rely on food to help my emotions, although I was largely sedentary and also had a very poor diet.

A year ago, I was sitting at about 118 after starting to rock climb regularly. My weight deecreased to 115 as a natural consequence of more exercise, although my diet remained not-the-best.

This April 2015, I downloaded MyFitnessPal and decided to consciously lose weight/exercise more/eat more healthily and I'm currently fluctuating between 109-111.

My goal weight is probably around 100-105 (I have a small frame and am Asian American).

I have added other goals other than losing weight in the last few months such as: making sure I reach recommended daily servings for both micros and macros, increasing the intensity and duration of my cardiovascular routines, settling into a regular and effective strength training regimen, and continuing to improve in rock climbing.

I don't know my measurements from when I was at my highest weight (I didn't want to know them), but my current measurements are: 32 chest (32D/34C bra), 25.5 waist, and 33.5 hips.

Hi everyone! Alyssa here, I'm brand new here (as of today) and I immediately saw this post . I'm 34, 5 ft, and weighed in this morning at 114. (I started on a journey where I weighed about 130 around 10 years back.)

I've been fluctuating a lot in my weight a lot over the past year due to stress and unhealthy snacking and I know I can make better choices and feel better. I do ok with eating healthy meals but my snacking can get out of control so I'd like to kick that habit. My goals are to loose at least 5 pounds and get more energy back drinking a lot more water. I want to tone up my lower body and be more regular with my workouts. I have a boy turning 5 and he has more energy than most kids his age so I want to keep up with him as he grows!

Also side note: maryroans- I'm a fellow climber too (started about 2 years ago, with a long break in between from an ankle injury. Climbing has changed me for the better in so many ways!!!

Anyways, nice to meet my fellow shorties here! Hope to post soon with some positive updates!
