edited January 3 in Success Stories
I just started my journey. Before getting married and having kids I weighed around 135 lbs. and I am 5 feet tall.
I started losing at 210. 5 weeks later I am sitting at 198.
I would love to see some before and after photos of people in my height range. I get a lot of inspration from before and afters. I just don't seem to run across many under 5'5"

If you have any before and afters I would LOVE to see them. Thank you!

    This is my before and during. There is only about a 10lbs difference and this was taken about 1 1/2-2 months ago. I'm 4' 11 and started at 131. My first goal is 115, then 111, then 107 and possibly 105 or lower if I feel like it.

    I don't know how to post pics. I am 4'10" and currently 100lbs. I've lost 50lbs total. I've had two children and gained (and lost) 50lbs both times. It definitely did not come easy for me. It took me 2 1/2 years with my first and about a year to get to a healthy weight with my second. About 110lbs and then four months ago I decided to get down to my pre pregnancy weight of 100lbs.

    I am 5'. At heaviest I was 168.7 pounds. I now weigh 117 pounds. My profile picture is from yesterday and I have other pics of my belly from start to finish in my pictures album.
  • wow, you look great gemmalouise!!
  • My profile pic are my before and afters. I am 5'4" and started at around 230lbs.....the after is at 150lbs. I just joined because I have been trying to maintain for the last year and a half and have gotten discouraged a bit. Coming off of the high of losing 2-3 pounds a week for a long period of time to staying at the same weight for over a year has been mentally hard for me. I know that I can't keep losing weight forever but I miss that feeling of accomplishment. My biggest fear is going back in the other direction...

    Still not where I want to be, but I think I look trimmer at least! I'm hoping to get down to 115. I am 5' 0" , and I just hit a "healthy" weight based on my BMI last week, for the first time in like 5 years!
  • Profile......5 foot and half an inch. 307 to 118.

  • I'm 5'2", and I'm not anywhere near done losing weight. I don't have many before pics, but I found one. It was taken after I'd already lost some weight. I think it was at about 240 lbs. The other one was taken in June at 207 lbs. I bounced back up to 224, but as of today...I'm back at 207. Hopefully, I will never see that number ever again. I haven't posted pics before, so I hope these work.

  • BUMP! I've been wanting to see other shorties like me. IDK what my goal weight should be yet, so I think that I am going to try to just lose until I am comfortable. I am 5'0 and 157lbs. I was super skinny (90lbs!!) until I get pregnant, but considering he just turned 8 this year the weight should have been long gone. Feel free to friend me!! :flowerforyou:
  • And you all look amazing!!
  • Awesome everybody! You all look so good :) I'm 5'2, I used to weigh 130lbs, after pregnancy I weight 190lbs. I'm just finishing P90X/Turbofire/Shakeology. I now weigh 166lbs. Still a long weigh to go back down to 130 lbs. Here's my progress pic from the last month, wish I had one from the beginning of the program.

    Not many afters. I'm still trying to get lower. I'm around 188-190 right now and started (the second time) where you were at about 208. Originally 230, but I'd lost that before regaining some. I'm 5'1" (and 3/4)
