Women 5'4"/5'5" looking for your success stories

Hi! I am 5'4'', 21 years old, and weigh 124 lbs! I started MFP at 142 lbs(pretty close to you)!
I've posted a topic about my success awhile back along with another topic with pictures. Feel free to check it out and friend me, and message me if you'd like!

Thank you for posting this topic! I am 5'5" and I am also stuck at 144 lbs. It is so frustrating! I am excited to see everyone's results!

I'm 32, 5'4"...I have 10-15 pounds more to go. I am doing Jillian Michael s Body Revolution. Lost 11 pounds in the first phase. I stick to 1200 calories NET a day. I do eat back exercise calories because I'm already a little below my BMR. My diary is open to firends if you want to add me! I'm not the healthiest eater but I keep my portions under control and stick to my calories

I'm 26, 5'5 and 143 pounds.
I started my weight loss journey at 183 pounds a year and a half ago, which brings me to 40 pounds lost. Dedication and eating right will help you shed those pounds. Good luck ladies!

Hello...I am 5'4 and been on MFP for almost 3yrs...I have roller coaster up and down throughout this journey. I have been as high as 212 and as low as 143....currently fighting to get back but still feel healthier than I have ever been.... I am in the 170's to my surprise on yesterday but I no longer let the scale define me I go by my clothing and the look....

Hope you have a fabulous journey!

^^^above are links to my before and after weight loss of appx 20 pounds. i am 5'4'' and started st 142 and am now 123!!

the second link is all my tips on how i did it.

hope this helps!!

I'm 5' 4" and currently 147.4 lbs. I did get down to 128 lbs last summer but then gained back to 153.2 lbs... trying to lose it again, and then a bit more. I'd love to hit 115 lbs but would settle for 120 lbs.

I'm just under 5'6 - feel free to view my profile if you like. A little over 13 years ago, I was over 215lbs - never knew exactly how much over as I stopped believing the scale. But shortly after I started to work on being healthy. My weight before I got pregnant earlier this year was between 145 & 150 lbs & just under 18% BF, which with the amount of muscle I have is good. I am currently 6 months pregnant & my only "gains" have been in my belly: I have people telling me I look great - healthy & vibrant & I'm still working out every day, taking care to look my best no matter what every time I leave the house for work or running errands. This is success: to be able to continue to enjoy life no matter what changes happen around or to me.
Don't get too caught up in the scale - my biggest lesson in the last few years has been to ignore the scale & build muscle. In the last 2 years, I've built up more muscle & while I weigh the same I look better, slimmer, healthier. This is my fit, my Lifestyle.

No sucess story yet but I'm 5'4", 55, and started at 228.8. As you can see I'm down 51 pounds. I think my journey is visable if you go to my profile. I was 254 at one point and bounced around 200-220 for around 16 years.

I'm 23 and just under 5'5" I started out at around 150lbs (got to be honest, I don't know my exact starting weight -- I wasn't a fan of scales at that time, but I knew I wanted to be healthier). It took me about five months to come down to 120lbs, which is where I've been working on maintaining for the last month. I plateaued a bit around the 135lb mark, but adding more strength training to my fitness routine helped to start things moving again. All the best to you!

I am 5'4" and almost exactly 2 years ago I started Weight Watchers at 225 pounds! I could barely squeeze into size 18 clothing. I lost 70 pounds in about 10 months on their program, which I loved. I switched to MFP to save a little money each month.

My lowest weight was 155, I am currently 165. I'm working diligently again to reach my ultimate goal of 150. While I'd love to be 140, I'm not sure that I would look good that low. I can't imagine ever being in the 120s!

So all in all, I've basically maintained for a little over a year with a few bumps in the road. Good luck!

Bump

I'm 5'4.

My highest weight- 210
Current weight- 156
Goal Weight- 130 (but I'd love to see what I look like at 140!)

Started logging consistently this past July. Anyone with similar goals- feel free to add me!

I'm 28 and 5'4.5.

SW: 168
CW: 147
GW: 130

Though my goal weight is 130, I'm trying to go by what I look like in my clothes rather than what my scale says (as scales have been known to lie). I try to eat as much "whole" food as possible: lean protein, veggies, eggs, cheese, yogurt, snacks I make on my own, avocado, etc. I workout 3-4 times a week--and they're pretty intense sessions (but I give myself 3 rest days a week to make up for that!).

Currently, I've also hit a rut-- I can't tell if it's my thyroid (couldn't refill my meds for two weeks), if it's the fact that my workouts got more intense and my body just has to get used to it in order to let go of some water weight or what. I got down to 142 earlier this year and I felt great. Though I've been feeling a bit swollen, I do feel fitter even now!

Hang in there and DON'T STOP TRYING --even if the scale goes up, DON'T STOP TRYING. That's been the biggest lesson I've learned!

5'4"
SW ~220 (I didn't use a scale but I knew I was over 212 because I had already lost weight at that point)
CW 174
GW not really sure. I'm more about how clothes fit than a # really. I just want to be toned and awesome! My temporary # goal is 140

ETA - feel free to add me (anyone!); my journal is open to friends and I like seeing what other people eat for inspiration I'm vegetarian but looking to expand my options a bit
