Calling all females 5'3 or shorter

I'm definitely not amazing looking as some on here but here is me. I am 5.2 ft and i started at 142 lbs size 11 in juniors and now 118 lbs and size 3 in juniors. I still need to lose my lower belly, that is my challenge. Still haven't rewarded myself with anything yet as i haven't reached my goal technically...

before:

today :

I'm 5' 3. I started at 161lbs on january 1st and my current weight is 149. I've lost 12lbs but I've 23 lbs to go.

4ft 11

I'm 5'2 and was about to post some current pics.

Let's call these befores->Okay SRS face->5 pounds after serious face.

Pushing 170 back in February. That's my "You can't see how big I really am" cover up and "my hair is red! Distraction from the rest of me!" weave.


161, deciding I'm gonna start picking up heavy things. PS, is bad at posing




155.4, having picked up heavy things for about five weeks. Most of the change is in my back. Also look how my bikini bottoms are no longer creeping up my crack! I actually wear them outdoors now.





And I'm at 150.8 now, and a comfortable medium/size 6 (or a 4 at old navy. Old Navy, boosting dat self esteem with lies) so I went and bought my happy behind a new dress. It replaces a dress (also a medium) that I busted the seams on a few months prior. Remember folks, you are not a sausage and clothes only have so much stretch.






Edit: I'm about 5'3", give or take how much I'm lying to myself that day. My ID says 5'5"; that was a big self delusion day.

I'm starting from a similar standpoint...most of my friends don't believe I'm 167 at 5'2 but I've managed to 'hide' the belly and back fat well...until bikini season comes around of course SO NO MORE HIDING FOR ME!

Awesome progress and weight loss girl, you're my inspiration now!!

My friends and family are the same way! They all tell me I look fine and I don't need to lose weight! It drives me crazy! I'm 5'2 and at 159.6 so I have at least a good 30 lbs that need to go! It would be nice to have support from friends and family but they all think I look fine. I'm the only one that disagrees! Definitely makes the process a little harder...at least for me.

I'm with you Coe. I'm 5'4 as well. :grumble: :indifferent:
I'm the last one picked in gym class.

you are picked last due to being a Vikings fan.

5'3
currently 186.6 (from wednesday)
Was at 198
i want to lose another 36lbs
150lbs in my goal

I do Insanity 6 times a week, im on week 2 right now, week 3 starts Monday, whish is the Fit test, measurements and 2 week photo update, excited but nervous at the same time!!

How did most of you start losing weight and how long did it take. BTW I work out everyday for about 1 hour and a half but i have only lost 2lbs in 3 weeks :frown:

2 pounds in 3 weeks is actually a very good, healthy rate of loss. Be proud, be very proud.

I'm 5'0", my heaviest weight was 169, started MFP almost a year ago at 163, currently 150 (have been for months), but I've lost a lot of inches. More than I realized until I uploaded a couple pictures today. Profile pic was taken this morning (7/12/13). There is a pic in my profile (I'm wearing a white shirt) that was taken roughly 2 years ago where I think I look huge. When all is said and done, I don't care what my final 'weight' is as long as it looks good. I've lost 13 pounds since I started on MFP, but the majority of my physical changes have occurred in the last few months when I'd lost nothing scale-wise. Thank you weight lifting!
