    I'm also 5'3" and am really enjoying this site!

    I've lost 15 pounds since December (I'm at 183 now), but best of all I've been able to start running again, which I love. I like tracking my exercise and getting rewarded with extra calories. I've never seen a plan that does that, and I think that's why I've had trouble losing in the past. If I do a long run, I can burn 600-800 calories, and being on a 1600 calorie diet that put me into starvation mode. Now I know why I was gaining instead of losing: too much exercise and not enough calories! I have a lot more energy now, too.

    Anyone is free to add me, and my food journal is public. I try to use the note feature too, so I can track special circumstances, weather or not certain foods agreed with me, or how I was feeling emotionally. I'm using MFP in conjunction with Celebrate Recovery, so it is important for me to journal and be honest with myself.

    I'm 5'3" and down 87+ pounds now (depending on the day lol) It's been a year since I started, and I'm basically done, just toning and firming now, and if the scale continues to go down that's good too. :) It can be done!! I have pics on my page. I started at 218.5 and I'm about 130. :)

    I'm about four months into things. I started off at 165 and now weigh 139 for a loss so far of 26 pounds. I still have work to do, but the pictures are the beginning of February, end of march and two nights ago.

    When you lose so much weight, does your skin shrink too? I'm 5'3. Started around 220 pounds and am now at 208. My goal is around 145-155. I've been wondering if I will have flabby skin all over or if it will shrink.

    I have loose skin, but I'm going to start seeing a PT to help build muscle and tone.

    @babymudd....I would guess 150-155. I weight a little under 140, so that's my basis for comparison.

    I'm just over 5'3, maybe 5'4 on a good day, haha. I started around November of last year at 180, after having hit a ma of 186 previously with working for Godiva, lost about ten pounds, got off the train for awhile, gained back a couple of pounds and restarted last week and have lost 2.4 pounds since then to bring me to 169.

    The thing that has helped me the most is eating better (fresh fruit, veggies, little to no meat, watching the grains) and doing some exercise. I'm not much of a runner (yet), but I have been walking, walking, walking!

    Feel free to add. =)

    5' 2.5" but I CLAIM 5'3" :-)

    I eat a LOWER carb/primal and about 20% of my TDEE. Workout 5-6x a week. 3x a week heavy lifting and the other 2-3 are cardio.

    Anyone feel free to add me, happy to help and support all us shorties. I don't have progress pics because I pretty much detest attention in anyway so posting progress pics is my worst nightmare. Hoping to step out of my comfort zone when I hit goal weight and post. :-)

    Hi! I'm right at 5 foot 3 myself and am working to lose about fifty pounds and get down to 140. I'd love to get lower, but I know getting to 140 is doable. About seven years ago, I got down to 145, but then I stopped working out and put all the weight back on. :-(

    At this point, I'm focusing on walking for a half hour at least four days a week and meeting my calorie goal. I've lost three pounds since I started tracking here on MFP about two weeks ago. When the new recreation center opens next to my apartment complex in mid-June, I'll be ramping up my fitness plan and taking advantage of the exercise equipment and indoor pool. I can't wait!

    Really enjoying hearing the success stories. Feel free to add me!

    I am 5'3". I've lost some water weight, but I barely actually started to lose something after trying alot of things. Apparently I just have to kill myself on the cardio equipment to see anything happen. Different things work for different people

    I am 5'3" and a bit. My measurements started at:
    SW 148
    bust 38.5
    waist 30.5
    hips 38.5

    CW 145
    bust 37.5
    waist 28.75
    hips 37

    Inches lost almost 4.5.

    I have only lost 4 pounds since my highest, but have started 30D shred and that is helping more with inches.
    My GW is at least 135, but perhaps will try for 130. My main goal is to bring BMI back down to at least 23-24.

    Hopefully, I i will post in a month or two with at least 5-10 pounds more lost and at least 3 more inches.
