Any 5" woman have success stories and or pics?

While I don't have pics, I am experiencing some steady success. I am 4 ft. 10 3/4. Since Late August of 2013, I have been workin out at least 5 days/week and have gone from 153 to 134.5. Actually, between November 20th and today, I went from 148-134.5. I attribute the last chunk of weight lost to increased cardio, barred work, and closer attention to caloric intake. I still have a ways to go for sure, as I'm still overweight; however, I'm losing and feel that it's possible! You can continue on your journey secure in the knowledge that you can continue to have success. All the best!

I am about 5'2. My starting weight was 220 lbs 2 months later my current weight is 196. The weight was dropped super fast at first naturally as I started exercising again for the first time in 10 years and only drinking water. My goal weight is 130 lbs. :-)

Before, not even my heaviest which was 187.

now at 138.

Absolutely Stunning!

I'm 5'2" and am down 68lbs now, from 218 to 150.

I am in need of motivation as well. I am 5" 191 pounds. I gained 40 lbs after my wedding and an additional 40 lbs during my pregnancy. Since giving birth 10 months ago, I've lost 12 lbs. Needles to say I am very frustrated.

I'm 5'1.5 (that half totally counts btw). I started out at 250 lbs.

Actually when I was 21 I was pregnant with my son, my first obgyn appt. I was 160 lbs, I had him and was 180 after he was born, when he was 4, my husband bought me the wii fit plus, I stood on that and was 230 lbs, when he was 7 I had his sister, I was 250 lbs on the nose when I found out I was pregnant with her. I lost 70 lbs in my pregnancy due to gestational diabetes, and then after she was born, I gained most of it back because I was no longer a diabetic and ate what I wanted and when I could eat. Decided I was going to get on track and since have lost a total of 133 lbs.






And this is what I've been really pushing hard to work on though you can't spot reduce but you can work hard to fix an issue.



I've been hovering between 117 and 125 I fluctuate between that.

edit

I am 5ft, my highest weight ever was 206, started fitness pal at 198, now down to 177. My goal is 120, MFP is a great tool. My best friend used it to lose 110 lbs and has kept it off for 2 yrs.

So, my transformation is a little bit different. Some may look at these pictures and not see any change at all, but I see a huge change. Funny thing is- in the top pictures, I was obsessed with counting calories. I always felt so guilty for eating out, I would do hours upon hours of cardio on the treadmill, I was depressed.... And I didn't seem to be getting anywhere. I ended up developing an eating disorder that got me down to about 112 pounds, but I gained it all back once I started eating normally again. The thing was, the mind-set stayed with me. I counted literally every single calorie I ate, refused to go out to eat because I was afraid of the calories in food, would skip meals, would refuse to get off the treadmill until at least an hour was up, then I'd get on the stationary bike... would choose the gym over hanging out with family or friends. I would lay in the bathroom or my bedroom and cry for hours because I despised the way I looked. I'd wear nothing but sweatpants and sweatshirts so people couldn't see my body. I was depressed and hungry.

Fast forward about a year and this is me now. I am in LOVE with lifting. I eat more calories daily than I ever have in my life. I eat balance of "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods through IIFYM. I go out to eat 3-4 times a week. I lift 3-5 times a week. Cardio when I have time, usually in the form of Zumba. I have increased my squat and deadlift to 1.5x body weight. I am happier than ever before and love seeing my body change. I DO WORK in the gym and absolutely love when people see me walk in and expect this little girl (only 5'0 flat here) to just cardio-bunny it up. Nope, give me those weights.

The BIGGEST transformation for me was my mind set and my confidence. You can eat fruits and veggies, workout all the time and look great all you want, but if you aren't happy..... you aren't healthy.

Top pics- 125 pounds 25% body fat

Bottom pics- 122 pounds, 18.6% body fat

Only 3 pounds different, but a whole new outlook on life and fitness. Huzzah!

@ Swehl
Man, we are built so similar. It's hard to find someone else on here who is under 5 ft. you look great! It should really give me some motivation because I am at your starting weight. I really need to get my butt in gear! Congrats on the loss, you look wonderful.

I am 4 foot 11 inches. I have been going back and forth on my weight loss and I can't seem to keep up my motivation. I have promised myself that I will once again be starting Insanity on Monday. Hopefully I can get that scale moving down and keep it down. Congrats to everyone, you all look great!

Feel free to friend request me. I could use some more shorties on friend list!
