5'3" Ladies- Results please!

I'm 5'3.5" (like another poster said- still counts!! :happy: ). I started at around 148- almost 150 and got down to about 140 for this particular beach adventure. Got back up to 145 when I started MFP in Sept. I'm around 135 (current goal), but want to further my goal to 125.

I'm 5'3 1/2 (yes it counts, lol)! 39yoa....the first pic was at 138 in Dec 2011 and last pic on competition day at 112 in Sept 2013. I hope to be in the 120-125 range on off season.

That's amazing! Question: from first picture to second- were you working out to the end picture goal (112lbs)? I'd love to have the tone in the second picture. Any idea of what a good balance would be to get there?

I'll be 49 tomorrow so I'm older than most of you. Started out at 139 but weighed in at 118 last Wednesday; just by eating healthy and pushing hard in the gym. I eat candy, just not half a box every single night. Portion control !!!!

I'm 5'3", 21 years old. I started in March of this year at 191, I've been hovering around 163 for the past 3 months since my son passed away. Trying to get back into losing weight versus maintaining.

I am close to 5'4. I started out at 200 lb almost 3 years ago, two months shy of my 50th birthday. I joined a gym, hired a trainer and dropped 60 pounds within 6 months. I lost another 20 lbs along the way. I love lifting weights and strength train approximately 6 hrs a week while doing 20 miles of cardio(mostly sprints) a week. I eat approximately 1,600 to 1,700 calories a day and my trainer is aiming for closer to 2,000. I can honestly say, I have never been in better shape than I am now. My biggest challenge is making myself eat as much as I do. I was one of those women who always skipped meals and stayed around 1,000. calories. I am committed to living a healthy lifestyle and helping others achieve their goals. I opened a gym and love helping others become more informed on the benefits of lifting,especially women! As far as I am concerned, weight lifting is the best kept diet secret for women! It is the only thing I have ever done that has really changed the shape of my body while boosting my metabolism. It make me feel strong and sexy!!

OK! Today I am beginning my fitness/health journey for ME. In the past, I tried to lose weight for others but it never came off and I always ended up deflated (except not really, cause I was still chubby). I am 5’3” 148 and my goal is 125. Please show me your results to help get this candy lover some motivation. Note to self: must throw out the trick or treating candy. Thanks ladies!!!

I am 5'3". I started out at about 190lb three months after having my youngest.
It has been 18 months and I have been Maintaining around 115 - 120 for about five months now.
You can do this!

That's incredible! (to the bodybuilder poster)

I started almost exactly one year ago at 145. Began with 30 day shred and trainer 2 days a week along with my fitness pal. By June i was down to 118 -120 which is where i fluctuate. Still logging every day but getting "slacker" about it. Need to re-energize myself to stay where I am. Went from size 10 to size 2 clothes and i am never going back. Hanh in there and do it. Your confidence will skyrocket and for us height challenged girls getting to the 120 mark or below is life changing. I am 5'3"

I'm 5'3" and I started at 145. Now I'm at 122 and I actually have not exercised whatsoever in all honesty. When i was 145, I went to the gym for a 7 days straight and ate super healthy and ended up gaining two pounds. Even though logically, I know this is water weight and muscle, I felt traumatized (as silly as it sounds). Through lean cuisine (3 or 4 boxes a day), and baked chicken, cheese, shrimp ceviche, eggs and fat free probiotic yogurt, I easily shed the lbs. I switched to the ten calorie sodas and diet cranberry juice whenever I was craving something sweet, and ate Atkins chocolate chip granola bars and candy. My diet really hasn't felt very restrictive. I intend to get back to the gym in the near future for maintenance purposes and to get toned.

I'm 5'3" and 31 years old.

My highest was just after I had my daughter about 2 years ago: 178. I quickly lost about 15 lbs just from my body balancing itself out (and with the help of breastfeeding!), but then it stalled because I wasn't *actively* working on weight loss. I started MFP when I was at 163, and am now at 138. I have a Christmas time goal of 130, and an ultimate goal of about 125 (to be reevaluated when I get there, though I kinda like a little curvature to my frame so I don't think I'll want to go much lower than that!).
