Same here! I know that IF I even could get below 160 I would look anorexic and I don't want that... I am big boned and anything below 160 and it just wont look healthy...for me, that is.... :-)

All of these posts are very inspirational.
Since the end of October 2010 I have lost 45 pounds but have recently gotten side tracked between it being summer and as we all know, "life happens."

Joined MFP just today, while I'm at work.

Old SW - 290
Official MFP SW- 242
GW - 175 by May 3rd 2012 (that's 37 weeks)

I keep telling myself that anything is possible as long as I put my mind to it. I eat pretty healthy, with the occasional "treat" I just need to get back to working out and going to the gym.

Hey there! I'm 5'5! 27, mother of two little girls Great to see a thread related to my height! I am unsure of my "bone size" but I heard its hard to tell with the obese. I've got a long way to go, but I'm getting there. I started out really trying to lose weight on the 9th of July, this year, and I've gotten down 38lbs so far.

SW: 277
CW: 252
GW: 135

Right now my main source of exercise is walking/jogging 4-5 days a week for 30ish minutes. Since I have two little ones, finding the time is hard, but getting out there anyway for any amount of time is helpful! I'm Ketogenic, I eat around 1400, but I always eat back my calories I burn (200 on average).

Everyone looks fantastic, keep up the good work! Very inspiring.

When I joined I didn't really have that much to lose. I've lost about 10 pounds now and my signature says it all - I just want to tone it up a bit. This is a great thread to see how unique yet beautiful women of a similar height can be!

Great thread. I'm 5-5 as well, but don't have any pictures. I'm amazed by everyone's progress. Woot. We have some serious 5-5 hotties. Hehe.

Sorry, I tried getting it to show up for you. I don't like Photobucket because it seems to do that a lot.

scagneti

I'm 5'5". My avatar picture is me around 5 pounds ago. If you click on my profile, you can see some pictures of me, umm, well NOT 5 pounds ago. The one in the black dress was Christmas Day 2009 (no idea what I weighed -- guessing 200lbs, but the pic makes me look a fair amount bigger).

Need a new picture!

Forensic

does that work?... No.

Hey everyone! Add me to the list of 5'5"ers!! My highest weight was somewhere over 170. I didn't weigh myself much back then. I got down to 125 for my wedding in 07 and then lost my motivation and snuck back up to around 150 before I got pregnant with my son. The pregnancy weight came off by nursing and took a couple extra lbs with it (easiest weight loss I've ever had! ) I started MFP about 8 weeks ago at 139.5 lbs and weighed in yesterday at 129.4. So I've lost 10 lbs and have hit my original goal . I think I'd like to lose 5 more and get back to my wedding weight though! I haven't taken any pics recently but when I do I'll come post em here!!! I'm thinking I must be small boned since any extra weight seems to show and I'm pretty sure I could weigh 115 and not look unhealthy. I just think it would be too hard for me to maintain!

Sorry the pics are so big!! I am still figuring out how to post pics.

My favorite progress is my abs!!


This is the most recent, taken about 2 weeks ago.

I'm 5'5 and weigh 252 ... I'm big boned and was very thin as a child and teenager. When I was 135 - 145 range I looked sickly but thought I was fat. When I have pictures to share, I will do so. Here's to us big framed girls!!!

angelapiedmont

I'm 5'5" and just starting. I was at 213 and am now at 207. I'll be very happy to be under 200. I'm also big boned so I am shooting for 175 right now. I'd love to be in a size 14 again. Once that is accomplished I will reevaluate. I am seeing so many great success stories on here that I am staying motivated. I don't have before and after pics to post yet, but I can't wait until I do.

I started out here on mfp at 267....I feel like I am stuck in the 250's....it is SOOOO hard to get out of the 250's for me.

LorinaLynn

I started on MFP exactly 8 months ago today at 160#. I might have been more to start with, but I didn't get on the scale until I started here.

I've lost a hair over 30#, and I'm happy to maintain my weight now. If I lose a little more, that's fine. If I gain a little while strength training, that's fine, too.

Starting weight and stats...
December, 2010
Height: 5'5
Weight: 160+
Waist: 30+
Hips: 41+
Neck: 14+

Body Mass Index: 26.7 kg/m2
Waist-to-Height ratio: 0.46
Percent Body Fat: 30.8%
Lean Body Mass: 110.8 lb

Currently...
August 2011
December 11, 2010
Height: 5'5
Weight: 129.5
Waist: 25.5
Hips: 35.75
Neck: 13

Body Mass Index: 21.6 kg/m2
Waist-to-Height ratio: 0.39
Percent Body Fat: 19.2%
Lean Body Mass: 104.6 lb

So... about 25 of the 30 pounds I've lost have been from fat.


I'm happy to only have one chin again! Size 10 jeans in the first, size 2 now!


Before Zumba in January, when I'd already lost a few, to right after a run a few weeks ago.


Same swimsuit, last summer (I gained about 8 pounds or so after that) to this summer.

Wow, lots of amazing body transformaions here !

I'm 5'5 and went from 135 to 115 in 2009 when I quit smoking and decided to be fit and healthy. I maintained pretty easily and got pregnant last summer. I've put on 35 pounds during pregnancy. My daugther is now 4 months and I still have a few pounds to lose.

SW: 132 (after the initial delivery loss)
CW: 123.5
GW: 116-118

I have a very small frame (big hips and tights, which look even bigger since I have no breast lol ! but still a small frame). According to the freedieting.com Ideal Body Weight Calculator, that puts my ideal weight to 116-120 which honestly really is where I feel good.
