kwinty37

Where are the 5'4" girls, age 25+, which weighed around 180 before losing weight and have no kids??? Seem like I am asking for a lot I would love to hear some success stories with pictures. I also would love to have any tips that you can give me! Last week was my first full week of logging food and I can already tell a difference! I am 5’4”, weighing around 180, age 27, w/ no kids! I gained all my weight when I got married in Fed 2007. I was around 135 then… I know I can do it! Just need some motivation and tips! My goal is to be at 135 before my 5 year wedding anniversary (Feb 24, 2012).

Did you girls lose all your weight naturally.... just exercising and eating healthy???

jrhstarlight

The first time I lost weigh yes I exercised and strength trained during the week and cut out sodas and french fries mostly and tried to cut back on fast food in general. This time around exercising more roughly the same sometimes and trying to eat better period as in more fruits and veggies, which is hard for me right now, slow progress adding them in.

irishgal44

I am 5'4" and started at around 230 and am currently the low 170's. I lost it all through eating right and exercise. I have never weighed below the 160's ever, so I have no clue what that feels like; however, I really want it bad.

Feel free to add me anyone. :smooched:

Happyoceangirl

Seems to be a lot of us out there. I'm 5'4 and highest on record was 187. Have been maintaining in the neighborhood of 135 for about a year, pictures in my profile. Looking forward to seeing your success story. You're doing this!

I was in that boat although shorter (I am 5'1") - when I got married I was a size 12 (around 145) but then gained another 30 lbs over the first couple of years. My initial goal was to get back to a size 12 and then I took it in 5 lb increments from there. It took some time (about 2 years) but I ended up at 120 which is a decent although not slender weight for me and one I could maintain. I am trying to lose 10 more lbs to help reduce strain on my knees when I run. Good luck - you can do this if you eat right and exercise 80-90% of the time.

I'm 5'4 and not quite 25 (shy of it by 3 months!) and have no kids!! I'm currently 161 and my goal is to get down to 130. My highest was 196. Really trying to get to my goal the healthy way, but eating everything in moderation and exercising a lot. Feel free to add me! Good luck

I'm 5'4 210, 26, and no kids, I'd like to get down to 180. I'm lazy, un-motivated and I don't eat well. I'm using MFP to hold myself accountable for everything I eat. it's hard to do on weekends because I'm hardly ever near a computer. that's where I fail.

What is your story? How did you get there!! btw you look great!!!

I'm all of the above except I have kids. But I was gaining weight before my kids and never really stopped to think about it until I didn't have the energy to keep up with them as they got older. My highest weight was 194. I'm currently at 169. It is a tough battle, especially for me as a foodie and the fact that I like to drink just about every weekend. The first thing I did was switch to drinking only water. Maybe 1-2 times a week I'll have a measured out cup of juice. I also started by adding in exercises, then once I got in the habit of exercise, I changed my eating habits. I tried (many times) before this to lose weight, only I tried it all at once and on my own. Trying to eat right, exercise, and switch all my bad habits in one day just made me crash and burn. I also allow myself 1 day a week where I don't log anything. I don't go crazy over board, but I don't pay attention to every single calorie. Another thing that helps is by being active most of the day. I used to just sit down with my kids to watch movies/play games but now I try to be active most of the day. I'll go outside for a walk with them, or just find things to do around the house so I'm not sitting. It's a long journey, and it will have it's ups and downs, but it is so worth it. I have the occasional day where I feel like giving up, but then I look at how far I've come and how great it feels and it makes me want to reach my goal.

I am 27 years old without kids and am 5'4.75'' (yes I need that .75 lol) and started my weight loss at 178lbs in January 2011. I am currently 138lbs and have 10 more pounds until I reach my goal. When I first started losing weight I would workout at least 4 times a week for an hour, mainly cardio. Then after a few months in I started doing a combination of cardio and yoga. I now do 30 day shred, yoga, and cardio to mix it up.
