Thank you for sharing! I am also 5'4", I started at 190 and I am down to 155. You are a great inspiration.
I do have a few questions, if you have a moment. Did you start running on a treadmill, pavement, or ? I have been wanting to run, but my neighborhood is not really runner friendly. Also, how many times a week did you strength train at first? Thank you, you've helped me get motivated again!

Hey Jasa!
I did start running on the street. That being said, I was living in a pretty big city in Poland at the time and it was a little dicey at times... I would say that it's worth it to get into your car or onto a bus, and go for a scouting mission. Look for neighborhoods where you see people running and where you might like to run, yourself. I often drive to nearby parks, just because it's fun to people and dog watch

I hate treadmills!!!! But we all have to use them sometimes. I would encourage you to avoid them unless it's pouring rain, or too hot to run.
When I first started strength training, I would use hand-held 8-lb free weights and occasionally do a video. I'd say 4 times a week. Now I have a gym membership, and I go about 3 times a week for a bootcamp-style workout which really kicks my *kitten*.
I found that the thing that really made my muscle tone start to show was eating right. Can't underestimate that.

Wow you were always pretty but now you look seriously hot! I've just started weight training with my hubby and at 5'4 I'm wanting to get down to about 130 from 147lb. I'm hoping I can look half as good as you!!! Well done, you're an inspiration to us all

You look fantastic, great job!

niknak2308 · January 2013

Amazing change, You should be really proud! We're the same height with the same SW and goal weight... it's very encouraging to see someone with the same stats look so *fit* rather than a stick! I too am a runner and am noticing the improvements when combined with the right diet... thanks for sharing!!

You look amazing and beautiful and STRONG! You go girl.

coulibalymuso · January 2013

Adsolutely fantastic!!! All your hard work definitely paid off!! We are the same height and my goal weight is also 140-145. I haven't been below 168 in about 5-6 years - it just seems so impossible. But you have definitely proved it can happen!! Thanks for sharing all the pics - truly inspiring!
