5`2/5`3 women success stories?

katyyydidd

I'm 5'2", currently at 180 lbs, the largest I've ever been. About two years ago I was going to the gym, doing the C25k plan, and eating healthier and tracking everything with MFP, and was able to get down to 140, and lost 2 pant sizes. I'm hoping to have such success again, even through the winter! Today is my first day cutting out fast food, mountain dew is next, so long as I do the fast food for a month! (One thing at a time.) Feel free to add me, I'd love to keep up with everyones progress for motivation!

Hi! I am 5'2. I was 155 and now I am 130ish. I don't weigh myself anymore. Since muscle does weigh more than fat, it started playing with my mind! I strength train with cardio 6-7 days a week.
I love the fit life!!! Creating new healthy recipes and meal prepping are one of my fave things to do!!!

great job short sisters. I'm about halfway to my goal. Feels so good to get this weight off.

I am 5" 2.5". Started from 168.5 on May 1st. I have lost 20 lbs so far. I weight train 7 days a week and do cardio about two-three times a week in addition. I use programs on bodybuilding.com, which is a superb website for this purpose. They have an app where you can track your workouts. The programs are for all levels, be it a beginner lifter or professional bodybuilder.
I am not losing too fast as I am older and don't necessarily want to get all wrinkly from fast loss.
Weight lifting is really beneficial. I still have 29 lbs more to go but my body is really toned up and I feel mentally different too.
Before I started my journey, I got tired just by walking around 20 minutes. I was huffing and puffing going up a flight of stairs. Or my shoulders got tired folding laundry. Not to mention vanity issues that I couldn't wear my nice clothes.
So, OP, go for lifting. It will change your body for the better.

Love it! short girls getting fit!! 5'3" high of 173 pounds..started losing a long time ago. 18 months ago weighed around 163...been working on getting that off. Took up running and now I"m a junkie. Signing up for my first half marathon for my 45th birthday present from my hubs Currently at 136 pounds. Working on toning and wherever I land from here is fine. I'm happy with my size, just want to be a lean, mean, running machine.

Out stats are almost completely the same! I am 5'3" and started at 173 this past January. I am now at 129/130. I also think to myself wherever I land from here is fine and I am so much more happy with ME!!! I just want to tone and have a flat belly. Seems no matter how small I get it is never flat. But no matter. With clothes on I'm thrilled. I am weight lifting 3 times a week with cardio 2 or 3. Seems likes it works like a charm this way!

I'm 5"2 and started around 196lbs in Feb 2012. I'm now around 106lb and have been maintaining for a few years now. The left picture was probably not at my heaviest. The right was Dec 2013. My more recent picture the bottom one.

Did you do 1200 cal/day?
