5'2 shorties

fevrale · June 2015

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.

5'2", down 23 pounds since mid-january, I've got another 12-17 to go to be where I want to be, so half a success story.

jitterbugginlovin · June 2015

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!

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

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.

My fellow half-success.

bbontheb · June 2015

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!

I'm also 5'2". I'm curious as to what everyone's goal weight is.

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.

gilliebee63 · June 2015

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!

Jmgkamp · June 2015

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!!

5'2"/5'3" depending on the doctor's office. 145, right now and just getting back into the swing of things. I did (and adored) CrossFit for awhile because I love to feel strong, but some financial BS makes it difficult to afford right now. I'm hoping some calorie counting will get me back in line since I was eating a ton and burning it all off in a hard workout a few times a week and I'm just not burning it off right now. I plan to start taking advantage of the lovely weather and play outside to start burning more than I take in. My complacent weight is around 135, my ultra-healthy weight is 120 when I'm not lifting, 125-130 when I am. I'm struggling not so much with caloric intake as I am with getting sufficient micronutrients.

emlott88 · June 2015

I'm 5'2. Started at 148 pounds/67 kg on 1 July 2013. I've dropped weight in stages over the last two years!

First stage was getting to 133/60kg by the end of September 2013. I let it go for a little bit, but maintained at around 62kg (137 pounds).

Second stage was getting to 125 pounds/57kg, I restarted early April 2014 and was there by the end of May 2014.

I ended up maintaining again in the 60-62kg. I restarted properly on 1 January 2015 of this year at 63kg after the Christmas period. I am now 118/53.5kg - so this has taken around 5 months. My final goal is 115 pounds/52kg.

As you can see - it has involved a lot of fluctuations for me but I feel confident now that if I maintain at around 55kg after this phase that that is a good weight to maintain at for 5'2!

luguebe · June 2015

Hello! I'm 5'2. I started my weight loss journey on September 2014. Back then, my weight was 163lbs/74kg. My current weight is 137lbs/62.5kg, and my goal is between 123-125lbs/56-57kg.

I eat every kind of food in moderation and try to consume between 1200-1400 calories a day, and I've also learn to make healthy choices (especially for snacks). My biggest problem is that I'm too lazy so I don't exercise on a regular basis, but I have to change this if I want to start getting fit. I think my body fat percentage is between 30-32%, though I'm not sure since every calculator I've tried says something different.

ejbronte · June 2015

5'0", started at 134 in December, and this morning broke through the 112 lb stall into 111.9... my goal is 110 for now but will likely go to about 105.

MFP gives me 1200 calories to play with. I'm almost always under by the end of the day, but have good, varied meals and light activity.

Akibo23 · June 2015

I am 5'3" - started at 136 (March '15) currently at 128. Still not comfortable with the abdominal area.
Goal weight 105-110 with muscles. A flat tummy along the way would be a bonus

5'2" top weight 200 pregnant with first pregnancy. 185 with second pregnancy baby born November 2013. So Two cesareans later ...

I started a few months after second pregnancy (somewhere mid January) slowly adding regular walking. Then home workouts (Mostly Jillian mochaels DVDs) twice a. Week and increased to every other day. Now do then 5-6 times a week plus regular walking for the last year and love it.

Today 125. Goal weight 117(?) not sure really trying just to get rid of that last belly fat then I will be super pleased. Already bought my bikini. Just don't have the confidence to wear it yet ☺️

Cheriels82 · June 2015

Forgot to say ;
In the beginning I was loosing 5lbs a month for a long time. Of the last four months I have lost about 1lb a month which is fine with me. Progress is still progress ! Slowly but surely.

tugmd · June 2015

Hi there...I'm 5'2"...over 50 and currently weigh 154.2lbs. I'm down 14.6lbs. since starting March 2014. My plan is low carb, higher protein and MOVING!!! LOL I want to add that during that time I even went on 2 vacations...Las Vegas and to an all inclusive in Cancun! MFP is certainly helping me to get to my goal of 135.

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...

I have to say that even though you looked sick at 102 maybe she won't. People have different builds, I'm also 5'2'' and I have a very small frame, and I look round at 102. I'm at 95 rn,and I certanly don't look sick. Heck at 90lbs I didn't look sick!
