    I'm 5'1 and have lost 10 lbs. since February this year. Down from 150 to 140. Not a huge change but I've been focusing on endurance running and weight training. Visually I can see my body composition has changed. I'm down a size, I lost my muffin top, and I'm staring to see ab definition. Also, I'm starting to see the reality of a thigh gap. *Gasp* I have times where I indulge on vacation or a girls weekend trip but I try my best to get back on it as soon as I can and the temporary weight goes away. Good luck!!

    I'm 5'1-5"2. I started in November 2014 at 190. Now I'm 148. For the past month or so my weight didn't budge. I was stuck at 150 and became frustrated. It was my fault, I wasn't recording everything I ate in my log. This week I have been strict. Eating 1400 calories and working out, burning around 500-700 calories a day (elliptical & Jillian Michael Revolution or P90X). Within a day or two I noticed a change in the scale.

    Hiya! I'm 5'2" and this is 6 weeks worth of weight lifting (5x/wk), a 20% calorie deficit, and sporadic HIIT sessions (3-4x/wk). I've been following the Thinner Leaner Stronger program by Michael Matthews and I plan on sticking with it for a full year, so more to come...

    I'm 5'2" on a tall day lol but I lost from 130 down to 105 lbs. I'm back up to 115 now and would like to hit 110 again, but I'm pretty comfortable with this weight, esp since I'm not having to work super hard to stay here. It can be done :)

    I'm 5'2'' to 5'3''...began in the middle of January in the high 180s...currently in the low 160s. I have recently hit a plateau from a lot of traveling, celebrating, and vacation but I'm back on track. My goal is 135. I hope to get there by next February.

    I'm 5'1". I started out at 187 and now I'm down to 149lbs. I've lost 38lbs since January 2014. I'd like to lose another 20lbs by September. 25lbs would be freaking fantastic if I really hit hard at the gym and buckle down on my eating.

    Any other shorties on here can add me! Send me a FR!

    5 years ago I lost 35 pounds... I went down to 102. I looked SICK, and not in a good way...in the "is-she-anorexic--way". I kept it off for 3 years but then I gained about 24 of it back. I did it the unhealthy way the first time around so the "anorexic" concerns weren't that unfounded...
    However, I am doing it the healthy way this time, but even w/ the healthy way I don't want to look as sickly as I did at 102! So 110 is my goal and once I get there I plan on getting into weight lifting to help tone the rest of the flab that doesn't seem to budge, even when I was at 102!

    I'm bottom heavy so my thighs, butt, and tummy were still flabby while you could see my collar bones and ribs, and my arms looked like sticks. Also my face was gaunt. But because I thought that losing weight was the only way to get my bottom half under control, I kept losing! I was wrong!

    I'm so glad to see the similarity. I've lost 24 pounds since mid-January. :smiley: My fellow half-success.

    I'm not a success story but would love to see more pics of people's progress! I am 5'2, started at 204 in April, now down to about 189. Long ways to go. Baby steps!

    110

    Mine is 108-- pretty close. I've been in the high nineties as an adult (and looked good) but I have to give myself some slack because of the dreaded slowed metabolism of age.

    Such great stories! I am 5'2" and down about 5lbs since I started logging my food and walking to work... About a month ago. Still another 10 or so to go.

    I do think it's a bit harder for us shorties, especially those of us over, 50! But week get there!

    I'm 5'2" and started on March 4 at 219 pounds. As of this morning I weighed 180.4, for a loss of close to 40 pounds. I watch my calories and after the first month I added cardio 6-7 times a week, an hour each time. I started with the treadmill and am now switching between that, elliptical and adaptive motion trainer. I'll take a class every now and then, though spinning hurt my *kitten* too much to do it again!

    My goal is betw 120-130, I'll see when I get closer. So I've got about 50-60 more to go, though 41 will put me in the 130s. Yay!!
