Women 5'0-5'3 with real results!

I am making this post because I would love to see real life results of those similar in height to me! Feel free to post your before and after pictures and any tips you might have for how you have lost the weight!
I feel like since I was younger I always carried my weight heavy and being only 5'1 has never helped me. At my highest I was just a little over 250lbs and was slowly killing my body. Now after losing half of who I was I can't believe the difference it has made. I not only look like a totally different person but my life is different. I am able to go out and enjoy myself instead of being constantly out of breath and seeing everyone stare at me.
I think what has helped me most is MFP, being able to connect with real life people and being able to track my food and exercise. I have maintained my weight loss for the past 3.5 years and plan on keeping the weight off for life.
^^ So here it is, my before picture is me around 250lbs and a size 20. My after picture is me now around 125lbs and a size 4. Such a big difference and I can't even remember looking like the girl in my before picture.
Well ladies let the inspirations begin! I would love to see your transformation pictures and stories!

Bump. I'm also on the short side measuring at 5'1. You look great by the way!
what are your measurements? I been just kind of wondering how other girls measure around our height( I know I varies, but it sometimes interesting to be able to relate to someone who is around the same.) 0 -

I usually don't measure myself so here are some quick rough estimates. (I wasn't being very thorough when I just took them.)
Chest: 34.5 inches
Waist: 28.5 inches
Hips: 36.5 inches0 -
Nicole, you look amazing! I am not a success story yet! I am 5'1" and my starting weight was 225 pounds. I too am sick of my body hurting and am so happy I joined MFP. I'm a bit older than you, so I don't have youth on my side. But I'm gonna take your topic challange and hope my results are as awesome as yours someday! I haven't weighed in as of yet, as this is only day 3. Thanks for inspiring me and I'll keep you posted!0

Thanks for being so inspiring, Nichole! I'm 5'2" down about 40 lbs from 232 (used WW last year). I'm hoping to get down to 150 first to see what my body looks/feels like and then determine whether to continue or go into maintenance. I will say, though, that I really need to visit my doctor for a physical to figure out her recommendations for me.
Success stories like these are what I like more about MFP than WW. Each day, I see tons of success stories from people all over instead of just a few from WW. I literally spend my lunch breaks going through the boards to keep my motivation up!0 -
I started at 189 and I am now at 148. I am 5'3 have pcos which makes weight loss a bit slower but still going at it. Currently doing P90X. My goal weight is 135 but we will see. I have never been under 140 in my adult life so even 135 seems like WOW. I am medium/large frame. Thanks for your motivation. You look amazing!0

You can do it! Just keep up that motivation you have now and remember any bit of weight lost is a step in the right direction. Even if you don't loose it as fast as you'd like! I can't wait to see your results!0 -

That's fantastic! 40lbs already, keep up the amazing work. I would definitely consult my doctor if I were you. If anything a yearly physical is always a good thing! I am down to around 125 now which I think I good for my body. I was down to 115 but I believe I looked too skinny then so I put on some muscle. Anyway, I can't wait to see your results. Feel free to add me!0 -

One of my best friends has PCOS and is also struggling with her weight so I can see where you are coming from. With your determinations and how far you have come already I can see you making your goals without a problem! You've got this, keep kicking some serious butt!0 -

I'm 5'3 too, gone from 155lb to 126. Now trying to maintain as I don't want to get too small. Hopefully the pics will work.
Not quite at my heaviest in the first photo and not quite at my smallest in the 2nd but you can see the difference.
I totally love the definition in my abs
and my back.
It's been worth every drop of sweat.0 -
I am 5 ft 3.5 and I went from 260 to 175 in under a year0
