Hi! I'm 5'1' and my starting weight was 180 - at 171 already! I'm doing the b-12/phentermine diet and tracking everything I eat on here. I tried Weight Watchers and food tracking before, lost about 15 pounds, and gained 20 back in the next month or 2. So far I don't feel that I am craving any foods that are unhealthy, which is nice for a change (I used to do the emo/binge thing - alot) My goal is 105 -110. For each 10 lbs. I lose, I plan on doing something little for myself, like getting a pedicure. When I meet my overall goal I am getting a tattoo of a sleeping fox winding around my ankle I don't have pics yet, I should really take some, but I've been very camera shy for awhile. Also, I'm new here and looking for friends (Yeah I know my profile says 2011, that was from when I tried before, just started again last week!)

I am just shy of 5'3 and I have lost just over 50lbs.

I started at 182lbs and I weigh about 128-133 in my after pictures

Here a few before pictures:





And after:

I'm 5ft1.5 (yes, I will take that half an inch and run!) I'm not looking to lose 50pounds though.

I started off at around 156 pounds, and am fluttering around 146 at the moment and hope to be 130 in summer.
I joined MFP a few days back and am hoping to make a bigger difference on my weight.

My weight flutters, but am definitely seeing some physical effects, my size 12 (uk) jeans seem to fit comfortably now and are actually getting a bit small for me
I have progress pics on my profile if anyone wants to see, hopefully I can update that pic soon with an After pic.

I'm 5'1 and weigh 141 and I have around 18 lbs to lose. I just started so I don't have and after pics. My profile pic is what I look like now. I've been doing this for 15 days and feel like the weight is just not coming off.

And I LOVE your profile pic, Millsiesgirl... EXTERMINATE!!

GW I am not sure. I was thinking about trying to get to 115 but if I get to 120 and I feel great I will take it. I would love to be in a size 6 again.

I'm 5'2 and currently hovering over 190.

I used to be almost 280 lbs, but the last year is where I lost the bulk of my weight.

I can;t use photobucket here at work, but I have a " before" photo in my profile! Check it out! it's horrible! Lol. My after ( so far ) is my profile pic, I took it yesterday. Still have a ways to go!

I'm 5'3", and I have a lot to lose...about 90 lbs.

When you have a large amount to lose, I think it's really important to break it down and give yourself small goals to achieve and then reward yourself for each small victory. I personally broke it down into 10 lb increments for my small goals (for which I will reward myself with a lovely pedicure ...and then three bigger goals of 30 lbs (massage), 60 lbs (facial and new outfit), and 90 lb goal (spa day, new outfit, new haircut).

I think it's so important to take it one day at a time...and also to use non food related rewards as incentives.

Good luck, you're doing great so far!

arrawyn79

I'm 5'3 and I've lost 76 lbs. Here's a comparison, but i've actually lost a few more lbs since then (i'm around 133 now). and i have more muscle on my body than fat now! whoo! i've reached my goal weight, i just want to tone up the remaining flabby bits (stomach and thighs/butt). also i didn't really reward myself with anything in particular - i guess just new clothes. i still have a lot of clothes to buy to replenish my wardrobe since i've gone from a size 18-20 to a size 6!

I am 4'11", no pictures but lost about 18 lbs in 3 months! Zumba (i am an instructor), spinning, and jillian michael's 30 day shred!

I have a feeling this is going to be a short thread.

ninu13

wow! everyone is doing an amaizing job!!....:drinker:
Am 5'3, need to lose 13 lbs. is been kind of hard to lose the weight, cause I really don't have much time to work out, I set small goals, like shopping, surfing, go to the movies etc...

gallingers06

Count me in! I am 5'2" or 5'3" depending on who is measuring, but I started at 172 and now have whittled down to 138. I will dig up my before and current photo's and post them soon!! My goal weight is 130, but I will see if I want to go further when I get there. High school weight was 120, with my 20 year reunion is next year so I wouldn't mind being that petite for it. I rewarded myself with sexy shoes every 10lbs, and a few essential items of clothing, until goal weight...then lookout checking account, I am shopping!!

I'm NOT Short, I'm FUN size! :blushing:

I'm 4'11" at GW 115#. Doc issued me an Ultimate goal of 105-108# due to my height and diabetes. I'm not to sure I will follow thru with UG I feel and look good now and my illness remains under control without meds. The pro pic was taken Saturday after my 5k race.

lindseyhilke

I am 5'2" and just started MFP 10 days ago. I was about 141 and now I am down to 137. I am really excited about this! I want to weigh 120. I had 2 kids back to back, they are now 2 and 3. I had lost all the weight and was down to 125 but then gained weight back. So now I'm trying to lose it a healthy way and keep it off.

SPeffer1

I'm just under 5'3" and I lost about 25 lbs. I don't have any pictures on here, but I will try to get some. I'm not currently trying to lose any weight but I actually lost the 25 through WW and doing a lot of running. It took me maybe five months? I am still a lifetime member of WW, but I actually prefer this website and app more!

Edited b/c I forgot to post my before/after information.

SW (after two years of laziness following having my son): 130
Current Weight : Between 103 and 105.

Hello! I'm 5'0 (almost). I just started this week on mfp. (I must have looked into the site before, cuz it says I started last year) I've struggled most of my life with my weight. I have never really used a support group before and this is all new to me. I opened (I think) my profile up to people. As for before/after (current) pics, do we just put them in our profile? Thanks!

ewelsh92

I'm 5'0 and my starting weight was 134lbs and my current weight (as of this morning) is 126.6 I have lost 8lbs in two months, that doesn't seem like a lot but on my short body it looks like a lot more! My husbands aunt (aunt in-law? lol) asked if I lost 20lbs and she couldn't believe that it was only 8lbs! What I do is just basically cut down on my portion sizes. I have not really changed what I eat. I do avoid soda and sugary drinks/foods though. Other than that, i'll eat my usual foods but smaller portions. I will not go for seconds like I used to. Using smaller plates helps. I also work out 3-4 times a week. Most of the time it is at home with a gym trip once a week. I use Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and a couple of other work out DVD's. Now that I most of the weight I wanted, i'm going to start using weights more often to tone up my arms and legs. My Goal weight is 120lbs or less, depending on how I feel in a bikini :blushing:
