I am 5'3 @ 163 pounds and will be 50 in May. What a great thread and to see everyone's successes and it's motivating! My real struggle is the tracking, oh how I dislike it but it really is the #1 tool.
It's so amazing seeing the progress other women my height have made and are making! I gained quite a bit of weight due to a new relationship, then COVID/stress. I'm 5'2" and currently 179. My goal is to get back down to 140ish, with muscle, but I'd love to be in the 130 range (my goal is to be strong/fit, less than an exact "weight"). I'm 32. I ride my stationary bike 4-5 days a week, plus Beachbody workouts. My diet needs to be tightened up, but I've just started logging with MFP, which is helping keep myself accountable. Starting my first ever 3-day juice cleanse next week as a "jumpstart."
I'm only 5'0 and currently 162.4lbs. I started my weight loss journey on March 4, 2021 at 171.8. I packed on 20lbs last year with Covid and menopause. At the beginning of March I said this is enough and decided for once and for all to commit to losing the weight. So far it's been a month and I'm down 9.4lbs. I eat in a calorie deficit and try to walk at least 5,000 steps a day (doesn't seem like a lot but I sit at a computer all day), plus I went from drinking almost no water in a day to 8 cups a day.
My ultimate goal is to get down to 120-125lbs, but short term goal is to lose between 6-8lbs in April.
Hi ya'll I'm Katie.
I'm 5'2", I started my weight loss at 178 walking with my mom and brother, before he and I got our Charge 2s.
During my use with the Charge 2, as well as eating right (I do low-carb bc I'm an endomorph), we walked 6 days a week, where I lost about 13 pounds.
For Christmas we got Versas, but I've still been going with my 10,000+ step walking routine and currently weigh 165. (I jump in a range from 164-168 on the daily, which is why I weigh one time a week) My goal is 150, but I'd love to get down to 140. From all this, I went from size 16 to size 12 in pants I'm a country gal, back here we eat. Since food is so in line with our history and culture, we've had to find some good nutritious stuff to work into our meals. Like instead of fries, burgers and hot dogs, we'll sub salad for the fries; also, we've been slammin Aldi's for their nut encrusted frozen fish, which with salad and brussels sprouts is 171 calories (not including hush puppies). We love food, but moderation and wholesome foods are the way to go God bless ya'll on this journey
I started my journey at 179 after having my third baby, after 9 months I reached my goal weight of 115lbs. I have maintained between 115-125 for the last year!
I'm 5'1" and started my journey five years ago around 200lbs. I'm currently 115lbs with the goal of building lean muscle mass. I literally changed my whole life and fell in love with weight training
I honestly thought I was the type who couldn't loose weight. I am 5'2", 53 yo, menopausal with high stress levels.
Well, I am loosing weight, finally. I proved myself wrong. First, I learned to deal with stress better (or just get rid of it altogether). Then, after many failed attempts, I kept trying and am now tracking, weighing myself every morning and good old cico. I am loosing weight.
In reality, this weight does not want to be on me. And I do not want it either. That's why it's finally coming off. We are not a good match for each other.
On March 30th, I started yet again on another weight loss journey weighing 160.2. Today is April 12th and I weigh 154.4. Yasss..... good numbers.
This is happening!! 50 something short women can loose weight. Don't give up peeps!
Hi as a senior late 60s. I started this journey again after hip replacement surgery, Jul/20 @ 157# now 139#. Released (counting fluctuations) about 2# per month. Very pleased that “slow and steady” will win the race. Committed myself to a 90 day fitness walking program. Still on track 7 weeks later. Will continue to meet goal of 123#. Patience is a virtue.
Hello ladies! You all look GREAT!! I am 44 yr old, 5’2”, currently 172 lbs. At my heaviest, I was 196 lbs. My goal is 125. Please add me as a friend, if you’d like, because I would love to have other female friends my height/goal. I would love to have someone I can relate to - that would be a huge motivation and support to me and vice versa! Keep kickin booty fellow shorties! 💪🤗💖
