5"3 girls calling for your weight loss stories!

I'm 5'2. this is my second attempt at getting my weight down. I started my journey three years ago at 140 and started walking, then running and eventually running and doing bootcamps. 1.5yrs later i weighted 118 pounds and looked and felt amazing. So i ran in a marathon where i hurt my knee. I was fortunate to have no serious damage but had to stop working out for 6 months. 6 months turned into a year and i have gained all my weight back.

I started working out again 2 months ago with the attitude that if i went to the gym everyday the results would follow. My workouts started with slow walks for 30min, then i moved to the elliptical for 30min, then i added weights and now i do cardio for an hour and weights for 30min, 5 days a week. I dropped two pant sizes and i feel amazing. Results do not happen over night. You need to show up and put in the work. Also take care of your body, eating lots of fruit, veggies, whole foods and hydrate. Get your friends involved- you will keep each other on track. Don't quit on yourself. If you put in the time you will see results! That's a fact!

BUMP!

I'm 5'3" and was 175 in the delivery room, so I probably went home weighing 155. Took 18 months until after he was born but I got down to 105 pounds. The last 5 months of those 18 months were the crucial turning point months for me. I tracked religiously, ate a zig zag type diet, exercised at least 6 days a week.

After that, I have spent the last few years reshaping my body through weight training. I reduced 95% of the cellulite on the back of my legs, have excellent muscle tone on my arms, and am in the best shape of my life at 35 years old. YOU CAN DO IT!

OMG, you look TERRIFIC. If weight training can do that I guess I will just have to do it.

I'm 5'3.25 and 139.8

I started at 175.

I got down to 130 about 4 years ago. I was a size 6/5. I was pretty skinny and felt good there. Fast forward a year: I went back up to 155. Started eating healthy again and got down to 148. Was constantly stuck at 148-146 for a long time. For two years I've been between 143-148. I've gotten down to 142 and then I'd go back up to 145, I've probably done that at least 12 times by now.

Now, I am running 5 miles again (what I did before when I lost the weight), and it's coming off pretty fast. Getting into 130s has been amazingly hard, but FINALLY there.


Except tomorrow is my birthday so that screws it all up, but I could probably eat a few more calories and not have all my results vanish. I am super proud of myself for FINALLY getting below the 140s. I look so good at 135, and that's when all the last few inches come off on my waist and my arms.
