Hello! 4'11'' here. I would also like to hear shortly success stories. Please post, thanks.0

I used to be 4'11 now at age 60 I'm 4'9 probably due to being so obese for over 40 years. My highest weight was 382. I ask myself over and over again ..... how did I let it get so out of control? I have many, many different reasons but I'm tired of hearing that they are all excuses.
I lost 20 pounds 3 years ago and kept it off. I started MFP August 31, 2014 with a starting weight of 362 pounds and since that day I have been binge free.
I have lost over 114 pounds in 11 months with MFP. Today I weigh 246 and that is the lowest I have been in 20 years. I can't wait to get into the Hundreds. I know it will happen because I want this ....really want this. I have learned so much from this site and made a few good friends. I constantly read the success stories and love seeing all the before and afters. This is my goal, to be a success story too. There are so many other reasons, too many to list.
It took a long time for me to see a difference and if my daughter hadn't made me take pictures I probably still wouldn't believe I have lost over 100 pounds. I was surprised that it took even longer for others who knew me to see a change in my weight. I have a hard time taking in praise so it doesn't bother me if no one says anything. Go by how you feel and how much easier life is with each pound lost.
I hope you all reach your goals. You wouldn't believe how fast time passes. Keep going strong.

I am 4'11" used to be 5'. Age and osteoporosis have taken me down a notch. I am 67yrs old and have been on MFP for 5yrs now. Starting weight 126 now 106. I do Pilates about 5days a week ( 10 minute solutions) I am at my goal but would like to start weight training, use 5lb weights now but looking to increase. Wishing all my fellow shorties much success

4'9" and 20 years old. I started at 138lbs. This morning I weighed 99lbs. I started MFP in January and I'm on a streak of 202 days.
No matter how tall, short, big or small you are, you can lose weight and be healthy. Keep at it and I promise you'll see results.0 -
This time I committed. Bought a food scale, researched the forums. Exercised regularly.0

I started in Febuary 2015 at 128lb and am currently 102lbs, looking to get to about 98lbs.
I have aimed for 1000cals a day but go by a weekly average which has been consistently in the 1000-1200 range, though I have had the odd 2000cal days. I have been losing 1-2lbs a week with no plateau and I don't exercise. I did take up swimming but I had a sports injury and am still recovering. Currently about 16.6% body fat.
I eat mostly fruit & veg which has always been my favourite food since childhood (salad, roasted veg -yum!)- I know my protein and fat levels are abysmal and need addressing. When I'm finished losing body fat and have recovered I intend to attempt a re-comp.0 -
