5'5 gals! Show me your progress!!

eachatman

Hi! I am 5'5 and I recently started tracking my food and doing the Fit Yummy Mummy program. I am truly inspired by the success stories and determined to lose weight and tone up. After getting down to 150 lbs and size 8, I got remarried and had another baby. My oldest is 19 and youngest is 2. I recently turned 40 so it is very important for me to accomplish this. I will definitely be keeping up with this thread! :flowerforyou:

Thetera -- you look great in these photos, and I think it's great that your parents are fit at 50. I just have to ask...who drives the Scooby Doo van???? That's too cool....my kids would be ENVIOUS.

Aryn -- I think you look great. And I'm like you, I thought below 140 would be impossible, but I'm 138 right now, and I've had 2 kids...so it IS possible. And it's possible without starving yourself. Hang in there!!

aww thank you! hahah i wish my parents drove the scooby doo van XD i found it parked next to my car while i was on vacation last year! i reached 19% body fat today at 135 pounds, which is insane, i never thought i would be an athlete like my parents but now i am! i officially love every single percentage point of fat on me

Hey all,

Seen as we are all around 5"5 ish...... I was wondering if anyone knows what the "government/health professionals etc" would consider an ideal weight for us.

At the moment, i am overweight..... but my aim is not really to be "skinny". I want to be happy in my skin, retain my curves (actual curves - not another way of describing my fat).

I've set my GW at 154lbs (11stones) - at which point i think I’ll be pretty happy. Obviously I’d have to get there and decide if I want/need to lose more. But when I was at 11 stone before.... I believe I looked pretty good.

What do you all think? Am I being delirious by “settling” for 154lbs?

Everyone carries their weight differently. And even at different times in our lives, WE carry the same weight differently. If you look and feel great at that weight, that's the right weight for you. It doesn't matter what anyone else wants to weight. And it's not like you're carving it in stone. You can reassess your goals as you go along. You might be happy before you get there, or you might want to lose a few more.

Off topic but I love your ticker!

I am 5'5 and a half. I also have heavy bones. I finally decided I needed to do something about my weight. I am not really going for a number, but feel good and healthy and just really enjoy wearing whatever I wanted and wear a bathing suit. without really feeling uncomfortable. I am now at 144 from 163. I would like to lose my belly which is my next goal my lightest has been 135 and that was before 3 kids and about 10 years ago.

Some of you are so brave. I haven't even put a photo or avatar. I know that I need to so that I can own my reality instead of hiding. Only showing photos of the end result which my gut says I should do but my head feels like it is cheating. I'll post one soon. I've only lost 10 so far. Good job all of you.

No pics yet but trying to bring this one back around (some people would be proud - I used the search feature rather than start a new one)

I've been as high as 180 post high school, as low as 147 over 4yrs ago prebaby, then back up to 180 after my baby, then down to 160 and back up to 175. I'm done with this mess. I'm ready to get back down and know what NOT to do with the next baby so I don't have to do this much work ever again.

MFP stats:
SW: 170
CW: 162
GW: 130 (maybe, goal re-evaluation at 140 and 135)

5' 5 1/2" ~ Highest weight Dec. 29, 2011 144#
CW ~ 133#
GW ~ 120 ish#
No pix yet ~ I've taken some just need to post. I find it so fascinating how even those of us the same height have such different body types and what 1 weight looks great on someone is not right for someone else! I've not been below 128 since I was a sophomore in HS. I'm nearing my 41st b-day and hoping that my goal weight is attainable! I've never worked out this hard in my life or watched what went in my mouth so well. I'm hopeful!!!
