It's totally possible! I am 5'2. I was at my heaviest about 6.5-7yrs ago at 230 and then I lost 80lbs (I was diagnosed as celiac, went gluten free, and started being more active again). I gained most of that back after a few years when I started living a less healthy lifestyle again. Now, I'm back on the healthy train and determined to stay on it! I've lost just over 14lbs so far and am still a little heavier than you are. But I am noticing awesome differences and I know that in time I'll be healthier again. Good luck to you!!

Hi I'm about 5'1" as well and I'm new to this site I started at around 165 after I had my second baby 4 months ago, I'm now about 156. I wanna get down to like 125-130 though!

hey I'm 5"1 I started @ 199 lbs 4 mo ago and im currently @ 176 lbs, and I was not faithfully trying so its possible. Know Im back at it but very motivated this time and my goal is to get down to 135-140 lbs. Its not easy, but it helps to have someone to motivate you.

SO glad I found this thread! I am 5 feet tall on the dot.

You all look so amazing. I need to come back here often and remind myself that is can be done. I lost 10 lbs in a month and have about 50 more to go. (My heaviest was 187, which is what I was last month. Before that, my heaviest was 167. UGH) Please, add me to your friends lists, ladies, I need the encouragement.

Keep posting!! The last time my height was measured they said I was 5'1-3/4" but I usually say I'm 5'2" since they were pressing down pretty hard on my head when they measured me LOL
I love seeing results for shorter girls... it's motivating and helpful to see what weight looks like on people our height.

Bump! I'm 5'2"

I love the success stories! You all look fantastic!

I'm 4'11. (and 3/4) . I started out at 160-165. I am down to 147 as of right now. I want to get down to 130!!!! I think this thread is awesome!! Short girls definitely get it worse when it comes to gaining weight. We gain 5 lbs..and it looks like we gained 20. Ugh. However when we lose 5lbs, we start to look great! Keep up all the hard work ladies!!!

I started exercising and watching what I eat in April 2011. I'm around 5'2" and my goal is to be around 120 lbs. Currently at 131 so just 11 lbs. to go and I can't wait!

Hey there,
I just recently started using MFP again and am 5'1" . I see all the wonderful success stories but I am in desperate need of motiviation. I need to know that it is possible for a girl weighing 195 lbs at my height can lose the weight and still look awesome!! Thanks in advance!! :happy:

Its doable. It may take time but you will get there as long as you keep at it. I get frustrated a lot too, I've lost 20 pounds since May and I often felt like it wasn't coming off fast enough but I kept at it and I'm still not at my lightest but I am at my smallest.

I'm 5'2"

Hi there!! You look amazing and give me hope! I feel like we have the same body shape...how much did you weigh in the first picture? I am also 5'2" and I was at 148 and now I'm down to 130/129...what have you been doing for exercising? Thanx and congrats on your weight loss!!

Thank you!

I'm really excited about this change and I'm still going! In the BEFORE pic I weighed approx. 140 (after 138 I refused to get on the scale for awhile) in the AFTER pic I was at 121.5 (on 11/5) today I'm at 120 but basically look the same.

I work out at an outdoor bootcamp 3xs a week for 60 minutes which consists or cardio (laps, stairs, hills), circuit training (jump squats, push ups, up hill bear crawls, burpees, etc.), and abs (crunches, planks, leg lifts, etc). Sometimes I do it twice a day and mix in other things running, kickboxing, yoga., I aim to burn about 2000 calories per week if not more but am hardly ever in the gym or lifting weights. This week I start weight-lifting. In addition to the bootcamp I did a 90 day Visalus Challenge, basically this protein shake mix that I used a a meal replacement. I would take 2 a day (1 for bkfst in a yogurt smoothie and one either post work out or snack) feel free to look at my food diary its open. Other than that just the standard lots of water and clean eating (lots of protein, low carb, low sugar) and supergreen food supplement.

Thanks again for the kudos, sometimes I still feel like I have a ways to go but its because I forget how far I've come!
