@MichelleMcKeeRN thank you, I’m doing keto with intermittent fasting. Don’t have an exercise plan. I’m constantly running after my two small kids so I’m counting that as my workout 😊
Ok so I’m 5”2. Starting weight 210, CW 156 (2lb off 4 stone loss!!)
UGW 136
I just kept to my calorie count, did the c25k and now do 3 workout classes a week and walk on other days

Wow! You and I are similar starting weights. I am 5'2" and I just started in November 2020 at 219. You are my inspiration. I am down 19 pounds but seem to be stuck. I hope I can get as small as you. You look amazing!! Way to go.
I'm 5'3" and 56yo I was 167lbs then started weight watchers , now I'm 148 but stalled about 2 months ago. I began counting calories to see what I'm actually taking in a day. just as I suspected I was consuming way too many calories even though I was staying within my weight watchers points.There are 0 point foods that can really give you the false sense you are eating well. They are 0 points but not 0 calories. I'm down 2 lbs now since sticking to a 1,200 calorie a day way of eating. My goal is 135.
Hi all! Just busting into this thread to ask if anyone with similar goals would like to populate my news feed. I'm 5'1", 144lbs looking to get to 120. I have managed it before here some years ago and I'm back to try again!

Which IF plan are you doing?
I am seriously impressed with your results!
Wowza...you guys rock! I'm assuming the posts that have 'disagree' attached to them are mistakes? I mean how could anyone disagree with these transformations!
Very happy to read these success stories. I am 5ft 2in and struggled to lose weight, after age 55. I once could eat 3000 calories per day and my weight never got over 130 pounds. I gained 100 pounds in ten years after age 45. Every year I cut out a snack or junk food and no weight changes. I hate looking at the scale. My highest weight was 245, today I am 222 and holding. I probably lose 2 pounds per month, eating between 1200 to 1800 calories per day. The fibromyalgia symptoms cause so much fatigue that it's very hard to get enough energy to stand for more than 15. I use a Cubii for 30 minutes twice per day. For 2021, I want to end the year weighing 190 pounds. Why is weight loss so hard with short women?
Thanks ladies! Wow, you've made great progress. I've never seen a websignt just for us 5"2' ers. I'll try 1200, some strength training, walking and let you know how it goes. I like the idea of cyclying keto or paleo just to start up then adding back in the healthier stuff.

I always wonder about the dislikes. I have posted things like drink lots of water to curb appetite and have received dislikes. I wonder if someone actually disagrees with that or if they are just going around giving dislikes just because.

I think because the 'hug' button is next to the 'dislike' button, people push the wrong one in error.

I have reached for the “hug” button 3 times lately, only to see “disagree” show up. Of course I changed it quickly! But have I missed any others? From now I’m double checking to make sure I don’t.
5'2 here! I started at 172 in April 2019, got down to 124 and am currently at 129. I'd like to hit 120, or even 117, but I'm also not stressed about it. I count calories by weighing most of my food and keep an eye on saturated fat. MFP gives me 1250 calories a day, plus I eat back 70-100% of my exercise calories. I used to tell myself that I have an active job so eating that donut for break and another donut for lunch dessert was ok. Then I would have two helpings of whatever meaty cheesy carby deliciousness we had for dinner and a full bowl of ice cream for dessert Well, my FitBit and MFP opened my eyes to the reality of that situation! I do enjoy a donut occasionally, and don't track one day a week, but even on my non tracking day I don't go crazy with my calorie consumption. I eat a lot more vegetables now, and much smaller portions of the calorie dense foods that my kids and husband can eat with impunity. I run 3 or 4 times a week (very slowly) and ride my bike to and from work (5 mile commute, not super long), so I get my cardio in. Someday I'll incorporate strength training! I can feel my little floating ribs at the bottom of my rib cage whenever I get below 130, and that really makes me want defined abs for some reason. I love fitting into size 4 jeans in almost any brand. I still order multiple sizes from Amazon when I need new pants, but I keep sending the 6s and 8s back! Hurray for free returns 😂

That's quite impressive, congratulations! And you look great!
