Any 5 foot 2 inch girl success stories out there.

I am 5'2. I've been stuck at 135 for months. I used to be between 120-125 for the past 10 years, but having a baby changed that.

I have been doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I am 7 weeks in - while I have not lost any scale weight yet, I have lost 4 inches and 3% body fat. I also started running twice a week and just completed my first 5K a couple weeks ago. To me, NSV's are more important than the number on the scale.

I personally think 110lbs is extremely thin, even for 5'2, unless you have a very small frame. I am shooting for 125lbs, which puts me in size 3 or 5 clothes.

5'2 here too. and for the past month i have been stuck at 132-135 mark.. its fustrating but, im working my butt off
i started after having my 2nd child . (last Feb) although i didnt give it my 100% in Jan of this year my co worker and i started going to the gym 5 days a week, changed our eating and from 155 i have gone down to 132 as of today!

I'm 5'2. Not a success story yet, but I hope to be in a year It's nice to see others' successes though!

I'm 5'2" also. My weight has crept up to 128 from my comfortable 117. I was diagnosed with a thyroid disease 3 years ago and since then I've been putting on weight. I also hit 40, so age may be beginning to play a part too.

Anyway, I just started Week 4 of Turbo Fire and I think it's working. I've not done any measurements because I don't want to get discouraged. I'm just going by how my clothes fit.

I have an issue of my thighs getting bigger when I do resistance training. Does anyone else? I can read all day long women don't bulk up, but my jeans don't lie. I completed Insanity last year and while I lost two inches off my waist I could get my pants over my legs.

I've decided to stick with Turbo Fire till the end. It's tons of fun cardio with some resistance thrown in.

Hw (two years ago): 68kg
Sw (january): 64kg
Cw: 53kg

I never really believed in myself, but now i know that i can do anything! I am 5"3 by the way. I still think i have fat to lose so i am still going, working on the last few pounds. Clean eating with little treats+ cardio or hiit 5x a week + strenght training. I have never been to a gym EVER in my life. You can all do it, if i could, you can too! AND HEY, I JUST REALISED IT IS JUNE. SUMMMMAH. Good luck everyone! Remember, it takes time. You do not have to starve. It is ok if you get off track sometimes, the main thing is that you do not give up. And as i said, it is officially summer today. I do not want any of you to think you can't go to the beach and enjoy your summer just because you are not where you want to be yet. GO OUT THERE, BE CONFIDENT AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW AMAZING YOU ARE ! I love you all, don't give up!

Yes, I am just over 5'2". I have been very successful at it for many years. I keep being it every morning when I wake up and manage to be it the whole day long. It works for me. :happy:

I disagree that 110 = extremely thin. I think it depends on how your weight is distributed. I have always been around 110 - 115 growing up, but a year ago I found myself at 126, which for me was my highest ever. For me, I started showing a double chin at times and felt my belly tight in the jeans I owned. I started doing Insanity and eating healthier to lose weight for my wedding (until last year, I seriously thought 2000 calories was the norm for someone my size) and now, at almost 30, I'm 111 and am way more toned than I have ever been. Maybe I weigh less because I'm an A cup? My ribs don't show up when you look at me, and there's still belly and arm fat (the six, or even four, pack is still elusive!). And I definitely don't have a small frame. I joke that my mom fed me too much whole milk as a kid, because my wedding ring size is 7.25. Since I'm Asian, I always feel my bones are gigantic compared to my girlfriends who wear size 5 shoes and whose rings won't even fit on my pinkie finger.

Regardless, next step is toning more and building strength. And I won't care as much about the scale then!

Try Maximuscle diet shake

I personally think a 5`2 woman looks good around the 132-137 mark...and that also puts her in a healthy BMI range. Seems trying to get down to 110-115 is a bit far fetched. I am 53 years old and also 5'2, last year I got myself down to 135 and I was so pleased with myself...and, my doctor was also very pleased. I am now back up to 144 but I plan to have my winter weight back off by summer and I also plan to note what I did wrong over the winter months, so to not make the same mistakes again. The highest my weight ever got was 162 and I was way too heavy in the face and neck. Im ok with 144 and a size 10.....I am thankful for the health God has given to me and I never want to take it for granted. Please , all you 5,2 chicks.....don't be so hard on yourself. I think 5,2 is just the perfect package....aren't we lucky ????? :blushing:

5'2 here. I'm probably around 120lbs now. I dont really pay to much attention to the scale number

*edit, I can never post pics.. there are a few in my profile

Yes, I am just over 5'2". I have been very successful at it for many years. I keep being it every morning when I wake up and manage to be it the whole day long. It works for me. :happy:

At 5'1", unfortunately I systematically fail at being 5'2". No matter how hard I try, I just can't get that last inch. I've tried shoes with heels, but the height just comes off again as soon as I take them off.



ON a more serious note... OP if you're already in the healthy range for body fat percentage, you can usually get more noticable changes in your body from doing strength training rather than losing a few more lbs. It's not your weight that determines what you look like, it's your body fat percentage.

I'm almost 5'2". I haven't been in the 130 since I was in my 20s. Last summer, and up until this past November, I was at 187. Now I'm 167 (that's where I am in my profile pic). I'm sort of aiming for 155 or 150. I look at pictures of me from high school.. I was 5'1" and 118 pounds and I think I look like a giant head stuck on a stick body. I always thought I looked best at 135-140. So I'll see where this food log thing takes me.

I have no ideas how to make pics smaller so I apologize. However my progress is on my profile.

well i guess i kinda am t o some..i have never actually hit my final goal of 115, i get close to it, 116.4 but bounce around and seem to average 118. i started at 142. i haven't hit my idea of my goal yet as i need to lose body fat but i am working on that presently doing chalean extreme...

I just recently hit my goal weight, 130 lbs lost.

Age: 31
Sw: 250 lbs
CW: 120 lbs
GW: 120 lbs
height: 5'1.5

It took me 3 years on and off.



To answer as to why you might not be losing, you could be eating too few or too many calories, you might need to make adjustments, your sodium level might be to high, your fat levels might be to high, you might be losing inches and not actual pounds, there for get a tape measure. I have lost a ton of inches. I'm currently doing the 30 day shred and only have lost 1 lbs and I'm on day 24 of it, but the inches have flown off.
