Success Stories for 5'3 and under?

I'm 5'2". I went from 159 to 130 in the past year. I have taken it really slow and steady mostly because I don't stick to everything I should- I reaallly like beer and tequila! hahaha!

Mostly I net between 1250-1500 and try to do some sort of total body workout. The 30 day shred is amazing. Good luck with everything!!

Hi!

I'm 5'1" (um, I say that but I think I'm more like 5' 3/4"). I started in December at around 115-120 (I have a pretty small frame so this is heavy and doesn't look good on me) and have now been maintaining for a little over a month at 102-104. I wish I had a progress photo, but I don't have any recent pictures that show my figure, and I don't want to take one right now since it's that TOM and I look and feel really bloated! But, the difference of about 15 lbs is really significant. I lost 3 inches each from my bust, waist, belly, and hips (the decrease in bust makes me kind of sad. . . oh well). My stomach is no longer a large round blob (hated it when I was heavier and am working on seeing it as it really is now. . . body image issues), my waist is slender (no more rolls on my ribs!) and I feel much lighter and enjoy moving around way more. Running is fun now since I'm lighter, things don't wobble like they did before (tummy bounce is no fun :embarassed: ), and I'm in better cardio shape.

I did a lot of cardio- running, circuit training, and cross-country skiing-- to lose the weight and be able to eat a decent amount while doing so (I did it at 0.5 lb/week so I was eating around 1400 net much of the time, but I would eat back most of the exercise calories). I love cardio but it hasn't really given me the look I want despite my new relative thinness, so I'm starting to work on weight training instead. Buying heavy dumbbells to work out at home later this week! I'm ridiculously excited for them because it's taken me a long time to decide to put the $100 into a 105 lbs set of dumbbells so I can lift heavy (for me) at home. Even though there is a gym near me, surprisingly in the very rural area I live in, I am intimidated by the idea of going and I think if I had to go elsewhere for exercise I'd be much more likely to slack off.

Good luck! You can do this!

You look great! I apparently am 5'2". I thought I was 5'5" untilmy DH and I got curious about how tall we were pulled out the tape measure. We are both about 2 inches shorter than we thought.:laugh: My goal weight is 150 but when I hit my goal, I will have to see how I feel and if I want to readjust my goal to 140. This is the most current side by side. Started out 233.8 and currently weigh 189.6. The second shot was taken about 195. eff it....Its in my profile pictures lol

Thank you!!! Yes, it's funny when we realize how tall we really are haha..

I see an incredible difference with you!!! Love the 3rd one in blue! Look at that little waist! :bigsmile:

I am 5' 2", have some progress pics on my blog, if you send a friend request.
