I am going to steal someone elses idea for this thread (sorry :embarassed: )....

I am 5'1" and weigh 184.5Lbs at the moment.....

It would be great to see anyone who is my height (and maybe was my weight too) with their befores and afters......I am a visual person and it would be great inspiration for me to see maybe what I can 'look' like!!

:happy:

    I'm 5'1" and currently pregnant, so no after pics for a while! I was losing until I found out about this baby. But my highest was 196 the day before my son was born. I hope to get back to my goals when this baby is born.

    hello! I'm 5' 1" too and currently weigh 11st 12lbs. At my heaviest i was 13st 6lbs and managed to get down to 10st 4lbs but over the past year have started putting weight on again. i don't have any before pics. :flowerforyou:


    I'd love a diet buddy so maybe we can support each other on this journey.

    Oops - almost forgot I really do wish you success with your weight loss. I had planned to lose my baby weight too but as my youngest turns 22 tomorrow i am acutely aware of the years of unhappiness and self loathing i have caused myself. But must stay positive and stay the course this time.

    Morning (well, evening here!!)...my goal is 55kg (can't remember that in Lbs but it is at the bottom in my signature).....once I was that weight. I just got down to the 55kg mark and was feeling amazing, walking for an hour before work and thinking WOW! Then I got pregnant. The rest is history!

    I am about to take a proper before shot of myself but will never post it until I loose all the weight.

    Good luck on your journey!! :happy:

    I'm 5'1 and started off at 180 in the beginning of this year. It's only been 11 days so I don't have any success stories yet, but I know that they'll be coming soon. And I know you'll be sharing some success stories with all of us soon too. YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)

    Hi I'm 5 ft 1 and started at 152. I'm about 7 lbs from goal and will post pictures when I get there. I started on May 31, 2010. I lost 20 lbs rather quickly and then I really didn't lose anything from September to December. I'm back on track now and will get the last little bit off!!!

    Hi,

    I am 5'0 and started my journey at 193lbs. I posted my progress pics at about half-way through (link below). I am currently at 157lbs with my goal of 123-125lbs. You Can Do This!!

    I am between 5'1 and 5'2, and started out at over 185 lbs. Unfortuantely, I don't have any before pics available right now...one of these days I have to pull them off of my old computer. I got down to my goal of 125, counted every calorie, worked out like a mad woman, ate my exercise calories...Then, I had to go from being a SAHM, with the freedom to work out 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, to working 40 hours a week, commuting an hour each way, and working out a couple nights a week when i can squeeze it in. That being said, I gained about 20 pounds back...most of my goal weight clothes luckily still fit...I refuse to buy new bigger clothes! LOL I am back now to get rid of those lbs that snuck back on. I have pics in my profile if you want to see where I am at now. The one of me in the blue shirt is from early in my first journey at MFP. I think I was about 165 there. The pics in short sleeves and tanks are from this past fall..I am right around the same weight now as in those pictures. Good luck and thank you for puttin this out there for all of us short girls. :flowerforyou:

    This is Christmas Eve 2010 with my fiance'. I am 136lbs here. Its not the best picture of my success because of my sweater.... I'll have to take some more!

    I have HUGE boobs! 34dd. My bra was not fitting well and my small fram was completely empowered by my boobs. My boobs are shrinking!!!!!!!! yay! It took a while for them to shrink. People actually didn't even notice I had lost weight until the boobs started shrinking! Now everyone tells me "BOy! you've lost a TON of weight." I thank them for the compliment and then remind them I've lost 20lbs... not a ton! I hate the word TON!

    Good luck to you and the rest of us shorties! I'm still going!

    @akahl78 I'm pretty much in the same exact boat you're in. I was a SAHM w/ the freedom to workout whenever I got the chance, even 2x or more a day. Now that I started working full-time (it will be a year in Feb) and commuting 1/2 hour back & fourth, picking up my son from daycare after work, coming home to cook & clean and the other bazillion things I have to do has limited my time to even get a workout in during the day. I also gained 30+ pounds last year (went from 146 (lowest) to 177). Now here I am again back on track, and finally finding balance in my life where I can schedule my workouts, eat healthy and hopefully lose weight and get down to my goal of 130. So far this year I've lost 2 pounds and am happy about that. :happy:
