I'm currently 5'1 at a weight of 214.2 lbs , trying to lose some more as well but surely and slowly it will come. I started out at 252.

I'm 5'1" and I have been really bad in the past to quit when no results were seen as well. But this time it seems different. I have a new approach to this LARGE amount of weight I have to lose. I guess I'm just sooooooo sick and tired of looking in the mirror and wanting to cry because of the way I look. :sad: But you know what, if we shorties stick together and encourage and inspire one another, then I know that we can do this! :happy: So, what do ya say! Let's get out there and make it Happen! :bigsmile:

I'm 4'10 and have lost approximately 6 pounds since I started really sticking to MFP and started jogging again a little over a month ago. It is doable. I'm actually thinking of taking 1 month progress pics tonight just to see the changes...I feel them, my clothes are getting looser which is an AWESOME Feeling!

Well I am 5'1" so very close to being fun sized My journey started when I got extemely sick in January. I was up to 156. Currently I am at 133 and looking to lose at least 13 more. I could definitely use some friends along the way so please feel free to add me. I have seemed to stalled on my weight since starting MFP and would love the support and advice of others.

I'm 5'0" and about 168... I would like to lose around 35lbs but it seems so far away... I feel motivated but then *bam* I want to just eat whats around.... I know it is possible though.

Don't have any before pics at the moment, but I'm 5'0, and I've lost over 100 lbs in the past 3 years. I'd been overweight all my life, so I never really knew there was a tiny chick hiding under all that fat. I just assumed I was born to be thick, but lo and behold, I have collar bones and jaw bones and cheek bones, and I can shop in the petite section!

My advice is just refuse to quit. It took several months before I could see or feel any noticeable difference in the way I looked or in how my clothes fit, and it would've been so easy for me to say "This is too hard. I quit." But somehow I kept going, and the pounds fell off, and I'm in waaaay better shape now, at 30, than I've ever been in my life. I actually weigh less now than I did when I started 8th grade.

You can do this. It won't be easy, but it's not supposed to be. And if it ever becomes easy, you're doing it wrong.

I'm new I just started but I am 5' and 218 I would love some "fun sized" friends so we can motivate each other I love seeing all these successful pictures it gives me hope!!

cupcakegirl81

I'm 5'0, 31 years old. I started at 188 lbs and I'm currently sitting at 160 lbs. I lost twenty-eight pounds in 5 months. I'd like to lose 10 more to reach my first goal, and ultimately, 20 more to get to 140. But, I'm looking at this one step at a time. I do Jillian Michaels workouts religiously and I walk a lot.

Dementedllama

I don't have any pictures.

But I'm 4'11 and 131 at the moment.

Trying to get down to around 110.

Is it incredibly difficult for everyone to lose even just 1-2 pounds when you're "fun-sized"?
My taller friends seem to be able to drop 10-20pounds, while I struggle with my last 5-10pounds. Constant 5-10pounds.
I move working out (4-6times a week) and eating healthy up the priority list --> I can tone up/lose the 5pounds.
Then LIFE gets in the way, and I only work out 1-2times a week, and not as food conscious --> here comes back these 5pounds.

Yo yo.
How do you keep your last 5pounds off?

need to learn about cutting, while keeping lean mass.

looking for support,
Amanda

sorry about the format. Blue shirt is 22 pounds down. Feels good.

I'm 5'2". I guess I'm too tall. I have only always been working on fitness (I'm also a mother of 2).

alleshiam

I'm need of inspiration! I'm 4'10 and currently tipping the scale at 180. I would love to see any other shorties out there who have comparison pics of their weight loss journey. Please and thank you. :flowerforyou:

I'm 5'1 and at about the same weight as you!

ChristinaR720

I feel so at home here! LOL! I am 5'0" and I have lost 32 pounds so far (I've been at this for about 5 months). I am 12 pounds away from my goal weight!

So exciting to see all the other shorties! Some who have gotten to their goals and some who are only just beginning (again) like me. I do think that being short can have its own challenges with weight loss. I have always had to fight for every pound lost. Now that i am in my 40's it is way way harder than before. I have never had this much trouble taking my weight off before. I am eager to get to know the other shorties on this thread and learn and encourage!

I hope this works.. I'm 5ft.. Here i am in the photo on the right. On the left i was 15 pounds (or 7kgs) heavier..I really didn't think i had that much back fat! Hmm the whole picture isn't showing?

shawtiibabyy

Thought i was a rarity at being 24 and only 4ft 11 everyone i know towers above me!!! nice to find some more shorties lol
Anyway.... Started off at around 146lb after a long struggle with weight issues (my highest weight was nearly 180lb) after having my daughter, used myfitnesspal after App Store recommended it and now 6 months down the line I'm weighing 115lb and only 11lb away from my goal weight

Gone from a uk size 18/20 to a uk size 8/10 and still proving those who doubted me wrong!

Would post photos but not sure how to as using my phone lol

Keep the confidence to keep trying, never give up and don't let others get you down. Being told I was fat just made me want the weight loss even more and now I've done it I've stuck two fingers up to everyone who said I couldn't!!! Good luck to the other shorties on here xxx

You look awesome!

You need to go to the photo in photo bucket, choose to edit the photo, go to resize, and set the width at 550. Then save it, and then use the smaller image to post . But in the mean time we can right-click and choose "view photo" and we'll still be able to see it.
