Ladies who are 5'2 , please stand up !! :D

I'm 5'2.5" and my goal weight was 125 lbs. But I've recently started to really enjoy my extra curves, particularly in the rear lol. So now, I'm thinking somewhere between 127-130. I've weighed about 115 going into college and looking back, I was wayyy too skinny.

I am 5'2 and my starting weight was 264
I got down to 112 but that was to low.
I want to be at 117, I am 121 right now
It is really hard to keep the weight off,
It goes up very quickly and comes back down very slowly.
Eating the right number of calories is not so hard,
it is the treadmill, that I do not do as much as I should.
it is a life process.
Good going to you

Until I saw your post, I thought I was going to be the only shorty in here who started at such a high weight. My stats:
SW: 264.7
CW: 236.2 (as of today!)
GW: 140, though I may re-evaluate when I get there

Height: 5'2.25"
Age: 32

My high school weight was 135lbs, (but I was made fun of for being fat?), and even though that's the high end of the weight range that someone my height should be in, I thought I looked rather sickly, but that could also be contributed to the bad eating habits I had as a teenager. I have wide hips, so I worry that 135 doesn't look good on me, which is why I'm so nervous about going below 140. I feel like I looked best when I was in the 150s because I was soft and curvy, but I'm curious as to how toned I can get. I don't have any body comparison photos because I just took what I consider to be my starting photo only this week. I do have my wake-up photo, a face comparison photo of before I started, during, and at 32 pounds lost, the photo I consider my starting photo, and a couple of photos of me in high school, so I an sort of do a reverse comparison.




These were my wake-up photos. I was probably pretty close to SW of 264.7 in these photos, taken in Summer 2011


My wedding in 2009, I was in the high 210's/low 220's in this photo




I was at about 238-239 in these photos that were taken a few days ago, (please excuse the mess).


Facial comparison photos, L-R: Summer 2011, Summer 2012, Fall 2012.




Me at my high school weight, first photo was in March 1998 at my 17th birthday party, second photo was 3 months later, in June at my graduation party.

As you can see I've gone through a lot of weight changes in the last 15 years. I should also note that I'm pretty sure I was about 5'4" in high school and have lost almost 2 inches of height due to weight gain. :frown:

I'm 5'2 started last year at 179.9, currently 147 , and hoping to reach 135 then will reevaluate

I'm 5'2". Started at 196, currently at 168. My goal is 146.

Whoo Hoo!! Finally broke the 140 mark. 139.0 this AM. We start a Fit for Fall challenge at work today so it is time to start adding excercise to my life. I need upper body strength mostly. Any tips to help me get my arms, shoulders and neck in shape. I ride a motorcycle and moving the beast around when I am in slow manuvers or parking it is my biggest challenge.... Thanks!

I'm not sure how to add a picture to my response. I'm 5'1 and a half, i was 110 pre preganncy, gained 40, and now 9 month post partum, I'm at 122. Hope to get down to 105 again sometime.

Any other 5'2 ladies out there on maintainance ? Interested to know what your maintainance calories are like and what kind of exercise routine you do
I see some 5'2 ladies saying they can't eat above 1400 calories or they gain , I couldn't live on that a day I'd crack up

I am 5'1" and maintaining at between 1300 and 1700 (lift heavy and circuit training & some HIIT). I just averaged out my TDEE over the past 32 days, and it puts me at 1590. FYI, I am 100 lbs. I suspect that I am probably not eating enough for more strength gains, so I may be upping my calories/revisiting my macros.
