    Wow....those pictures! You all look fantastic!!!!!! I'm 5' 1/2". Started at 120. Now I'm 112. I have a very small frame and shooting for 105. That was my weight in high school, college, and before 3 kids. I've been doing 6 week 6 pack, and Ripped in 30. I'm toned all over except the belly.

    Keep up the great work everyone. Love seeing all these fabulous befores and afters. Gives me and my flabby belly hope.

    I really like to see progress pics for people in my height range but it makes me wonder what i'll be when i lose some more, I started at 177lb and I am currently 162lb.

    I would like to think that I would be happy once i reached my initial goal of 147lb but I guess until i get there i wont know how i feel, I was 143 when i got married at 21 (divorced now..) and i am sure i was confident, but i do not remember if that confidence was happiness.

    I guess i will find out in due course!!

    if you are 5'3" i'd aim for more like 112-115... it's supposed to be roughly 5 lb for every inch over 5 feet tall with 5 feet tall being 100 lbs. so 5'3" is 115. i am 5'4" going for 122-125 personally. i don't think lower would look very good on me and i want to keep muscle

    I agree with the above quote, I'm also 5'3' the best I ever looked was at 117 lbs
    If you can do it good for you, but dont get carried away or stuck on a number, you already look good weight wise for your height.

    I'm not really bothered about the number.. it was one I picked as it was on the low end of my bmi.. I'm thinking about 110/115, I'm going to re-assess my goal when I hit 120, and see whether I need to lose anymore.

    The number doesn't bother me anymore :)

    Hey there, I'm 5'2" and started my journey at 153lbs and I'm currently 141lbs - so it's going in the right direction. My goal however, is around 130lbs, but if I get there and feel I could do more then I'll try. I have been doing a lot of exercise classes and jogging so I can also see the difference in my body shape and that's so inspiring.

    WOW!! you're so thin!! but how have you gotten to 108 pounds?? i'm 115 pounds and 5ft 3 at the moment, i'm having less than 1300 calories a day now, but i know i can't go under 1200 or my body will be likely to go into starvation mode and make it harder to lose weight. How many calories a day are you consuming?? Apparently, if i have 1236 calories a day, i will be 111.1 pounds in 5 weeks... that isn't much over 1200 calories, but it's no where near 108 pounds... so confused! do i need to drink 8 glasses of water a day as well to achieve 108 pounds?? please helpp!!:)x

    I'm 5ft 3. My goal was 108 but I can't seem to get below 109 - I know 1 pound doesn't make a difference but I was determined to reach the goal - anyways I guess 109 is my 'set point' and now I'm happy here.

    Just interested how did others lose their final pounds?

    You look amazing but your goal of 105 I believe is too low. I think you should just work on toning where you are already at.

    With respect if you are aiming to be toned & fit not just skinny you should not be looking as low as 110...because your muscle will make your scale weight more. You should be looking now at turning fat to muscle so therefore using measurements rather than scale weight. You already look amazing..do you really want to lose all your womanly curves?

    Agree

    My thoughts exactly.

    I'm 5'3". My start weight was 145, and I'm now at 120. My goal is 115. I have a small frame so I don't think 110 would be unreasonable either, but because I'm so close to my goal, I want to decrease my cardio and increase strength training so I expect I'll gain some of the weight back (in the form of muscle).

    I'm currently at 117lbs, 25% body fat.

    My goal is 112lbs.

    Once I get there, I may revise it to 108lbs, depending on my body fat %.

    I am 5'3" and I started out (in January) at 307. I am now (as of 5/28) 266. I would be tickled to get to 135, but my goals may change once I get there. :wink:

    Hi,

    I started my journey at 165lbs+ (not sure of the exact figure but I think it was around that if not more)

    yay-1.jpg

    I am now almost half way at 136lbs

    yay.jpg

    My goal is 105lbs but I want to see other people's results.. pics of people with a similar starting weight and people my height (5ft 3) that are close to my goal.. between 105lbs and 110lbs.

    Thanks!!

    It's amazing how you can be the same height and weight but your body shape is different. I didn't look as good as you at 136 when I was 125. My goal is 110 and I am just a lb away. I'm happy right now. Just want to maintain.

    Ditto - I'm just over 120 right now, and I have a lot of muscle from doing cross-fit, but I don't look as good as the OP at 136.
