in Success Stories
Just have no motivation here lately and think it would help to hear success stories of people my height. How much lost? How long did it take, etc.

    I'm 5'1 and 126.2 now. I started Nov 7 at 132.4. I have about 10 to 15 pounds to go. Not quite a success yet but I'm getting there. And so will you if you stick with it. Just take it one day at a time. Every day is a new beginning. You can do it. Good luck.

    5'2" and flirting with 140lbs here...I used to be very active (running between 30-50K/week) but a hip injury put me out of commission for a while...So I'm also maybe not the motivation you were looking for, haha, but I hope to soon be!

    It can be very frustrating when the scale only moves a pound after SO MUCH hard work, but it's important to remember that that single pound means a lot on our small frames.

    Keep it up!

    Hey there! Don't give up - Once I hit my teens I was more or less always chubby - fluctuated between 140-160 - after having my boys I ended up weighing about 185 for 3 years straight. Within 5 months I now weight 125 - maintaining for 3 months without much issue as Ive fully adopted a new lifestyle. I'm 5'0. Hope that helps!

    Did it with good old fashioned exercise (5 x a week) & clean eating (with more then a few bad moments, ha)...exercise helped keep me mentally on track & of course for health reasons its a must, but in my opinion, weightloss is 95% what you're eating. You can exercise your *kitten* off every day but one wrong meal or snack can totally obliterate all those calories you just burned & then some.

    Good luck!

    I'm very similar! 5'3 1/2 (gotta get that half in;) ) and started at 192. I've been doing IF and MFP for a week and am down to 187.5. My goal is 139! Let's do it together!

    I'm 5" as well. I joined MFP back in 2010 and I've been struggling with my weight for over 24 years. It's not easy for me. I know what I need to do, I know all the weight loss programs, but the motivation didn't kick in until just a few months ago. DON'T GIVE UP! Everyone has different issues in life, different motivation levels. I lost almost 20 lbs this past 5 months. Just don't give up... Keep moving. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time. I limited my caffeine intake and I probably drink coffee only 1 time a week at the most. I'm not a veggie/fruit eater. So to get it in my body, I've started drinking them (smoothies). This is what I have for breakfast and surprisingly it fills me up til lunch time. My downfall are sweets. So I try to save some calories for when I am craving them.
    Good luck.. Look me up and maybe we can be friends here at MFP.

    I am 5'3" and at my heaviest was 146 lbs. That was almost 1 year ago. I give MFP huge credit for being a part of that. My husband was in huge in helping me learn what to eat and what not to eat. I eventually got the hang of it. I changed to diet pop and eating turkey. I track all the foods I eat. It was hard to know a calorie amount so I would adjust it week to week depending on what the scale would say. I weighed myself every Friday and that was it. I did biggest looser on my wii as well as running on the treadmill. It all has worked and I am around a total weight loss of 30 lbs and around the weight of 115-118 lbs. I still track my food everyday and work hard at being active to keep the weight off. Hope you find this helpful and feel free to add me as a friend. The encouragement from everyone on here even on the bad days was an amazing help.

    My wife recently weighed 156 lbs.. They had a 6 week fitness challenge at our gym.
    We went to the club every day and either did body pump, zumba or spin.. I did not do zumba.
    She lost 13 lbs but her whole body changed.. her upper body
    and biceps look fantastic. Body pump is what really changed her as she went from 1-2 classes to 4 a week.

    Just have a plan and stick to it. For women its mostly resistance trainng that will make a change. She could
    do no push ups now can do 15 at a time.

    I am 5'1", 57 and started out at 190lbs.. Lost 83 and have maintained at 110lbs. for well over a year. My advice would be to take the long view and don't be too hard on yourself. I can honestly say I have reached a level of fitness that I thought was lost forever. You can do this!
