    Wow you look great and you've worked for it!!

    Bodies are so funny. My stats both before and after are very similar to yours. But I was much larger at the beginning than you-even though I started at 5'2.5" and 156 lbs. I was probably a size 16 and you look like a size 10 or 12 in your before picture. And now I am 126 lbs and I am not nearly as slim through the tummy although I am a size 4 now. I think it is body fat/muscle. I am probably 30% fat. Plus frame size and shape. I put my weight on in the abs, while my legs and arms stay slim. And I think my butt will disappear well before my gut!

    You can look at my after pix on my profile to see what I mean.

    Congrats!

    I'm so embarrassed of my before pictures. I've come a long way! I'm 5'2 and 120 pounds. I'm sure my beginning wait was close to 200, maybe 180s I can't remember.

    I am 5' 2.75", or I say I am 5'3".

    Highest ever weight was 235lbs, while pregnant with my daughter. Starting weight when I made the conscience effort to lose weight was 215lbs! This picture is me at 215lbs!

    Great thread!!!!
    I'm 5'2" and it's tough when others don't understand that on us 5lbs looks and feels like 10 or 20lbs.

    Once upon a time I was 129lbs. Got married and had a baby, and started in the end of February at 169.8lbs and today I am down to 156.1!! =)
    I still have a long way to go but very excited this time around.

    All you ladies look fabulous!!!
    OP you look amazing, congrats on your progress, great motivation.

    well said, so many just don't get that!!! 5 lbs on a short frame can mean a whole jean size up!
    that is why i like to surround myself with friends that are shorties on here, :)

    Thanks, I'm only 6 months in so maintaining and improving is my goal now. I was a UK 10/12 and down now to about an 8. For the first time in my life I can look at my arms and legs and see them as normal size. Butt and legs are the last thing to go on me.
