Calling all females 5'3 or shorter

bump!!

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:

iam only 5'2

4'10 and a half....
SW 188.2
CW 168
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 am 5'3" and I lost 38 pounds before coming here and 17 since joining

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!

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!

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...

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.

5"2 and looking to lose 60 pounds if i can - down 11 pounds as of now.
Really need to get these off though I weight myself in kgs (a smaller number) to make me happy

first 10 kgs = Get low waist jeans
15 kgs = swim suit
20 kgs = a tattoo
goal weight = a completely new wardrobe

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.

IF YOU CAN? You can! You got this!

Whoops! Afters are too big, here....

Holy Poop!! WTG!!

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:
