5"3 ladies?

hi, im 5'3 and am down 11 pounds in about 4 and a half weeks!!!! Woohoo!!!

I am 5'3. I have about 20 lbs to lose.

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'm 5 ft 3. I have been wondering how all the 5 ft 3 people look lol. Trying to reach my goal weight which is 145.

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.

Can I ask how many calories you ladies are eating? I am 5'3" 1/2 and I just can't seem to lose. I have tried many diet plans, but nothing seems to work. Jenny Craig worked, but that was the only plan. I wasn't exercising either. Now I am doing elliptical 1 hour per day. Burns like 550 calories. I need help.

5'3", 42 years old, 110 pounds. I just hit my goal weight. Now it's time to work on muscle!

again? :huh: is this a new thread on the topic? why is 5'3" such a major deal? so anywho here goes my schpiel again. I'm 5'2.75 inches. IF that's close enough for you, add me. If i'm too short for your club, don't. Either way theres a group called petite but sweet or somthing like that for short girls.

Good luck with the men's who like to pop up in these threads cruising for short women. Unsure why? Is it like fun to walk around losing us behind the clothing racks at the mall?

I have been eating between 1500-1800 calories a day for the past 7 weeks. Ive gone down over 5% body fat in that time, and built a good bit of muscle. On the scale I've only lost 3-4lbs, but I'm down several dress sizes and have lost 3 inches in my waist, 2 in my hips, 2 in my bust, 2.5 in from each thigh and 1.5 inches from each arm. That said, I lift weights for an hr 3xs a week(monday wed. fri.), and i break a sweat doing it, and always start with 10 mins on the elliptical. I also do cardio 2-3x a week(tues. thurs. sat.) The key is to build muscle, because the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn! If you eat below 1200 calories a day with intensive training, your body will fight you the whole way, especially if you dont have atleast a small post workout snack. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, im happy to answer. BTW I am 5'3 and 140lbs @ 24.7%body fat.
Good luck!

Maybe try mixing up your cardio . YOur body will get used to doing the same thing. I do circuit and that really mixes things up.
