Got tired of wearing leggings under my summer dresses during the fall/winter because pants wouldn't fit! I still have a ways to go, but I'm closer than I've ever been. I'm more focused on improving the texture of my body, less on my weight. But for stats, I've dropped 25 lbs and 12 inches in my bust, waist, and hips. Down 2 sizes in clothes (was a tight 16 to a fitted 12).

Did P90X for 9 months. Now I'm on Insanity.

Hello I am 5'2 when I started this journey a year ago I was at 164 today I am at 147. I has taken me a long time and a lot of learning to get where I am at. My ultimate goal is 125.

Here is the link to the first 12lbs that I lost with p90x

I have two kids and both were via c-section

Nice work what all did you do? and eat? BTW how long did it take you

I'm close to 5'3 and I started my journey in the 180's, I'm now around 135 and really enjoy this weight. I have the goal to get down to about 130 and stabilize around there! It has been a challenging road, but so well worth it! You can do it, just when you think your body won't go lower because you are not seeing movement for a little bit, it will, just keep pushing yourself! I would post pics, but I dont have a recent one yet and honestly haven't really figured out how to do it!

You will do great! Good luck!

FYI

Bump - Love that there is a post for 5'2 Feel free to add me too!

My name's Bonnie, I'm 5'1" and weigh around 148. I've always been around 110 even after 5 babies. After baby 6 and 7, I gained
around 40 lbs each, and just couldn't get it back off. Been struggling for a long time now. (My baby is now 17) I would be so happy to get to 120 and build some muscle. Love My Fitness Pal, and I just need to stay committed, and just keep movin on!

I'm 5ft 2" and struggled with my weight for years. Pre pregnancy (2002) I was 144lbs, I gained 70 whopping pounds whilst pregnant, ripped muscles and saggy belly down to my thighs. It was awful.

Over the next 6 years I managed to get down to 184lbs then I started on Cambridge Weight Plan. I got down to 128lbs and yo-yo'd between 128 and 133 for around 3 years.

In Dec 2012 I had a tummy tuck to sort out those ripped muscles and saggy belly. I managed to gain a stone afterwards. I put myself back on CWP a few weeks ago and expect to be back at my goal weight of 128lbs tomorrow morning

I've decided to push it a little further and go to 125lbs, just so I can see 8 stone anything on the scales I'm currently doing step 3 on CWP which is 2 nutritionally complete products plus conventional food to 1000cals. I'll move this up next week to 1200 cals and then 1500 cals the following week.

Feeling fantastic and currently wearing size 8 trousers and 10 top (at a push I'm quite busty)!

I'm 5'2" also and I have been struggling with my weight for a long time. I started in July at 210lbs. My goal weight is 135-140lbs. I have lost 15 pounds so far and still have alot to go but I'm making progress. I'm determined to make this happen this time and I don't see anything stopping me.

I am 5'1.5" and have had problems with my weight at times. I was my heaviest (220 lbs. & a size 24) at the end of my senior year of high school. I managed to get down to 180 lbs. somehow, but was this weight all throughout college. Then a couple years ago I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and had had it. Over the course of 1-1/2 to 2 years (?), I managed to get down to 121 lbs. (my lowest weight so far) & a size four. I actually managed to stay in the 120's for 2-3 years now, but recently my weight buoyed up to the high 130's. Probably due to the fact that I had to stop using weights since it was exacerbating my neck pain. (I've had whiplash from two car accidents in the past, hence the persistent neck pain. As a result, I can only use free weights.) So now I am trying to lose that weight again, plus a little more.

Note: My before and after (well, current) photos are in my profile. I don't have a picture at my heaviest weight, but there is a picture in there of me at about 160 lbs. in 10th grade. The most current one is the main photo of me with red hair, and the other two were taken last year and year before that.

Good luck in your efforts. I now how hard it is to lose weight. I have tried a lot of weight loss supplements (Acai, and others). These actually did help some. But I have found that having a regular workout schedule and moderating your food intake really helps. I currently do cardio 3x/week & weights 2x/week. But it may vary for you. Don't forget that it takes a lot of persistence to lose that kind of weight. But hopefully you will get there. And so will I.

P.S.: Don't forget to drink a lot of water all day long. (That's helped me a lot!)
