I'm 5'2", 23 and I'm currently 104. ((( Unlike most people here, I'm trying to gain weight. I'm underweight for my age and height, so I'm working hard to be more active, but try to eat much more food than before. lots of people always tell me, "why gain weight? I wish I looked like you". I am so skinny, doctors threaten to hospitalize me- among other reasons of course. I once weighed 87lbs because I got so ill. I also have many health problems that cause me to lose weight too quickly. But I'm working hard to get to 115lbs - and hold it! The heaviest I've ever been outside of pregnancy was 118lbs. I'd love to be there again.

So glad I found this tread! I'm 5'2 and my heaviest about 4 months ago was 186. I'm now 151 and my goal is 135. Once I hit that I may or may not shoot for more. I've alway been on the the thick side but in a good way. Just in past couple years I packed on the pounds just settling down and being happy lol. No one believes I was 186 but I know because the scales don't lie and I felt so unhealthy. I don't have any pics that show a change, I wish I would have documented it with photos like everyone on here. Thanks for sharing everybody!

I don't actually know what this problem is like - I know that some people who need to gain weight do P90X and it helps to bulk up a little (it actually technically isn't a weight loss program, it's for muscle gain, but I want to gain muscle and lose weight) - I'm in the 1800 but you could maybe have even more. Just an idea!

I am 26, 5'2" and holding at 125. I'm not necesarily looking to lose weight, more to tone. Even at my lightest (112 February 2012) I still had a nasty bulging belly. I guess its like those starving african children pictures with the big bellies. I need to figure out how to tone. Millions of crunches do nothing, and I don't have a lot of time for hardcore cardio.

IDEAS????

Try doing tranverse ab exercises. They work your inner core.

I'm 5'1". I have a large bone structure, and I'm curvy.

When I was pregnant, the highest I weighed was 185 lbs.



Now, I'm 145 lbs. The lowest I will go is 125 lbs because I know that it is a good weight for my body frame and bone structure.

Yeaaay! A thread for us of petite height. I have just started my journey and I hope to lose around 40 lbs to get to 105 since I have a very small frame. This current weight is the highest I have ever been.

You look amazing. What type of exercise do you do?

I'm 5'2!

Thank you! I wish I did but I hate exercise. I've tried zumba, crossfit, hiking etc. but eventually I stop and just do my diet.

I walk my dog for about 15-20 minutes 3x a day. Sometimes I'll use the elliptical in my apartment during a show but not often.

Story is still being written, but I started out in January this year, when I was 10lbs over my highest pregnancy weight, eesh. Started around 183, currently around 140, and planning to get to 120 or so before re-evaluating. I'm 4'11. I barely took any before pictures, and haven't been documenting along the way, really- I still hate the way I look in photos and think I'm huge.

While I've done okay so far, I admit it's definitley getting harder to stay committed, food-wise. I feel like I've restricted so long and I'm getting burned out on that. However, my fitness/exercise is the best it has been in my entire life... and that's with just basic strength training/bodyweight/dumbell work at home, plus Zumba classes and lately- running. I ran not one, but two 5k mud runs this year, and was shocked to find them easy! Want to work up to a harder obstacle run, and also thinking this winter it may be time to start a gym membership and doing some real lifting.

I'm 5'3. I was probably 140 at my heaviest. A couple months ago I decided to go on a 1200 calorie diet & do pure cardio. My ultimate goal weight was always 115 so when one day I finally hopped on the scale & saw I was 114 it changed my whole perspective. I looked unhealthy & I was miserable & I felt deprived I was unhappy. Unhappy with how I looked & felt. I just started nrolfw a month ago & it literally changed my life. I upped my calories & now my goal is to gain strength & confidence & look toned, but above all to be happy & healthy.
One month in & I have biceps now! Ladies feel free to add me I'm always looking for more friends on here for support & motivation
