5'1" success stories

Hello all! I'm just shy of five feet so I round up. When I started MFP I was 215 pounds. I've lost 20 so far. My goal is to get to115. Thank you to everyone that has shared pictures and stories, they have been very motivational!

Well done everyone, very inspiring!

My story and pics is in Sucess stories called 100lbs GONE!

I am 5ft and weighed 287lbs! Because i am short the weight showed so easily! I have lost 100lbs in 2 years.

Here are my before and in profess pictures. I'm 5'2. I was 136 when I got pregnant with my 2nd in 2007. I was 185-190 when Ii had him in 2008. I averaged around 155 after losing most of the baby weight.

I'd still like to lose another 15-20. So i'd say I'm halfway to my goal.

I am 5"1" and would like to drop 10lbs.

I drank diet soda (not a ton, but some) and had put Splenda in my coffee EVERY day!!! I am contanstly up and down 5 lbs, but as soon as I was up more than 10 I decided I needed to get serious!!! I decided to eliminate sugar from my life!! AND fake sugar such as Splenda and nutrasweet! I do use Stevia or Truvia in my coffee now, since from what I have researched and been told that is ok. I am avoiding any type of sweets (even low fat stuff because it contains splenda) and I am only eating "real, whole" food. Sure some things I eat have sugar, such as fruit and what not, but it is not "fake" I am hoping this will help me to lose!!! I have already dropped a couple of pounds and am hoping this is my answer!!! I am using the MFP tracker now and love it, however it tells me I am not consuming enough calories every day even if I go over my amount. I want to stick to 1000 calories a day, is that not enough?? Please tell me how all of you are losing the weight??? Are you counting calories or how exactly are you doing it??

I'm also 5'1". My lifetime high weight was 126 about 18 months ago. Today I'm at 105 and I'm shooting for either 102 or less than 20% body fat. There are two hard things for me: one is that I'm in my late 30's and starting to get, um, saggy. Yeah, I just wrote that. This makes what muscle tone I do have a lot less noticable. Two is the realization that when I reach my goal, I'm going to have to maintain at around 1450 net calories a day forever unless I want to regain. That's not a lot of food when you're a novice foodie and love the wine, and are getting married to an intermediate foodie who cooks like a chef and also loves the wine. It seems like if I want to maintain a trim figure, I must give up some of my greatest pleasures in my life permanently, either good food, being full, or spending time with the man I'm madly in love with in order to exercise even more than I do now.

Sorry about the lament, but I thought I might be in good company.

I'm 5'2

I am 187 in the photos below, taken last summer





Here I am at 140 taken a few weeks ago.

I am 5'1, started MFP in October last year when I hit 132 lbs. This weight was apparently bordering on obesity. Today I got on the scale and I finally, FINALLY hit my target weight of 110 lbs. (okay, I have 4 oz to lose, but close enough. ha!ha!) From a size 6 to a size 0. I am very, very happy.

:flowerforyou: so inspiring!


bump for later.

Y'all I need help! I was 163 but gained 2lbs due to TOM. I have my calories set at 1360 and I try to eat most of my exercise calories back. My BMR is 1377 according to MFP. I'm watching my sodium but why am I not losing weight? Please help!!!! I'm too short to be fat.
