    Wow, radcas! 98#? That is dramatic weight loss. Did you use MFP, counting calories & exercise? Or did you do something special? How did you get from point A to point B? It's easy to get discouraged, but when I see something like that, it really gives me hope. I'm a shorty, 5'3" and I have a LOT to lose, so that is super inspirational to see! Congratulations! How long did it take you to lose? Sorry for all the questions... I'm just so inspired by your success. :smile:


    I had gastric bypass in August of last year. It took me almost a year to lose the weight. It was easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. MFP has really helped to maintain my weight though. I plan on using this app probably forever. It really makes me accountable. Thank you so much! It's an awesome feeling to know that I can inspire someone else!

    I'm 5 ft 2, and for years and years, I was an eternal 112 pounds. No matter what, it just didn't change. But that was before husband, kid, and the passage of many moons and many dinners :smile:

    At 54, it looks like this:

    SW 158
    CW 147
    GW 136

    That's top of my healthy weight range. Then I'll see. I don't expect to see 112 again, and don't particularly need to. I just want to be as fit as I can be to do what I want to do. Including gaining a few holiday pounds, for instance, while still being within an OK weight range and knowing I can quickly lose it! I want more "wiggle room" in my weight as well as my jeans.

    At 112, as I recall, I was generally a size 6 and sometimes a size 4, but it depended on cut. It still does. Currently in jeans am a US 14 P, but could probably do a 12 now (!!!) ... Oh, and should add I'm also a big leggings person -- wear a lot of kurti tops in sizes ranging from 36 to 40 European (depending on cut again).

    FWIW I've lost 11 pounds, and astoundingly, it made the difference between "pear" and "apple." All the weight charts I did online indicated it would take many more pounds of weight loss to be a pear. But I lost two inches from my waist (and nothing much from my butt, LOL), and while I still have a lot to go, I did get to that heart-healthy(er) "pear," which is part of my goal. So you never know!

    Also ...... where I live, in South Asia, people are often surprised that I'm considered "short" in the US. Here I'm average ... or actually, on the tall side.
  • I'm 5'3" I weigh in at 131 currently. I don't know my jean size because I only really wear leggings, but I"m a medium in those generally. And a small or medium in tops. I find I have a lot of extra body fat even though my BMI is technically healthy, especially around my middle. If I measure around my bellybutton it's 34 inches around. I have a goal weight of 113 pounds
