There is a thread of shorties before/afters somewhere around here!! Do a search and you'll see a LOT of pics of people who ARE succeeding!!! :happy:

GOOD LUCK!!

Hi! I am 5'0 I started at 187 (my highest) and now am at 155, I am still wanting to lose about 30-35 more pounds but so far I feel amazing!

I'm in the same boat as you...I'm 5 feet and looking to drop 20 pounds. I'm about 150 pounds right now. When I look at the BMI index and other target goal weight suggesters, it makes me discouraged because I don't think I could EVER be anything in the teens! Yet, they say women my height can/should be. I'm content with just being more comfortable with myself.

Thanks for the 2 success stories on here though!

I too am 5 feet tall.........I carry the majority of my weight on my butt and thighs..........what about you other shorties ???

I just joined 10 minutes ago. I'm only 5'1" and 172.5. I too carry my weight in my hips and butt. I also just had a baby 8 weeks ago and I miss my old body. I was around 130 when I got married almost 3 years ago. I want to get back to that.

I'm 5'2" and approx 157lbs. I gained a lot during my pregnancy. My baby is now 16 months and I am determined to lose all the baby weight I gained. I also carry my weight on my butt, hips, thighs and a little on my stomach... My goal is to get to 125-130.
I've started working out, it's exhausting. I love this site, it really helps me!

I'm hoping to by around 130 like I used to be back in the day when I was all toned up and lookin' kick *kitten*! I'll share my success story when I get there, but us shorties gotta stick together!!!

xmasbaby76

I'm 5' even. I started at 167 (my all time high). I am currently 139. I feel great and can't wait to lose these last 15 pounds. I know I'll never be below the 120's, but I'm okay with that. I feel great and that's all that matters to me.

Oh Lucyhoneychurch, great to see your pics! I'm also 5' 2.5" and 38yo (but only for another week LOL). Your success is very inspiring.

Great to see all the other pictures as well, and to hear your success stories Thanks.

Lucyhoneychurch -- I love the "Room With a View" reference! Love your story -- what do you to maintain your weight?

Quite honestly, I eat 1800-2000 calories and I keep up with exercise! Been nursing some shoulder problems from doing waaaaay too much HIIT (but I owe my body results to Jillian Michaels) and have had to incorporate more rest days to avoid stalling out. My goal is to rock the two piece this summer, but still have to lose the layer of fat covering the abs. What three kids can do to ya..... ! Hoping to get around 117 or lower IF that lowers my BF%. But if I have to gain muscle to burn fat, then so be it.

ollybollysmommy

im 4'11'' too i went from 125 to 110 since August. After i had my baby last almost 18 months ago my body turned to crap and even though 125 doesnt seem like a lot it looks really bad on me, so im pretty proud for losing 15 lbs.

grace42d

I am 5'2" looking to get toned. Started last year, lost my job, spent 8 months in the duldrums, still no job, but back at trying to be fit. Pilates, swimming and skiing for the last 3 weeks and I already feel better.

I am 4'11" and presently weigh 118 - 120. My ultimate goal is 103-105, but I will be ecstatic if I can reach 110. It is SO hard to love this weight! What are you ladies doing to lose the weight (exercise wise?)

scjp926

HI everyone

I am 5ft 3" and am currently 212 pounds..ugh. My body has taken a beating after having 2 kids, my youngest is 21 months old..so more excuses. I am trying to shed as much weight as possible as we are going to be trying for baby #3 in the next 6 months. Please feel free to add me as I am looking to get and provide as much support as I can. I currently work out 4 days a week and am doing the body by vi shakes and have lost 4 pounds since the new year.

tlwinky
