I'm also short and frown just about every time I see my body. Knowing that someone else can lose so much makes me confident that I can. How long did it take you?

Congrats!!!!

What was the time frame of the weight loss if you don't mind me asking?

What???? You look great!! How long it takes for you to look this gorgeous??

Thank you so much!

And I started lightly in spring 2011, but got serious about losing with in july 2011, so more or less a year and a half (:

You look amazing. I am currently trying to get to 143 for an even 100 pound loss. I am a bit shorter than you though at 5'1/5'2. From there I will see how I enjoy the new body and maybe go for an extra ten to twently pound loss.

What did you do for excercise and what were your calorie and carb intakes? How many times a week and for how long did you workout?

You are an inspiration to me! AMAZING!

That's so sweet, thank you!
And I basically started by walking my dog for over an hour everyday, swimming when I had the change to and doing abs exercises in my room. But then college started back and I had to trade my long workouts for quicker ones so I added some wii fit here and there while still going for a walk every time I could. after a while I joined my school's gym, took aerobic dancing classes, worked out out in my room. Spring came back and I decided to try running for the first time. In high school I couldn't go for 2 minutes without stopping breathless. And the first day I tried it back, it's exactly what happened. but the next day I forced myself to go on for 5 minutes and so on and on to get myself where I am now, able to run for over an hour (I usually don't go for longer than 70 minutes because I get bored and my feet starts to hurt haha)
I mixed it up a lot along the way, I tried hiking, horseback riding, dancing, walking, running, biking, skiing, cleaning even haha!

With school and my end of semester rush right now I can only work out twice a week. but I walk to school everyday and always take the stairs to compensate (;

As for nutrition, I'm currently really focused on healthy 100% clean and healthy. I used to not really care where my calories where coming from as long as it didn't have too much of it but I'm now addicted to trying to eat as healthy as possible. I started out at around 1,200 calories just like mfp told me to do, but I upped it to 1,500 as it is my BMR (more on days where I work out)

I hope this help at least a bit.. if you have anymore questions feel free to message me and I'm gonna do my best to answer them (:
