    I'm 5'0", and 56 years old. Started at 134 pounds in December, and as of this morning, I'm at 114.6. My goal is 110, so I'm getting close. Measurement-wise, I started from about 36-34-36 to 34.5-27-34 this morning (I weigh every morning and measure every Saturday morning). Would like to see the waist go down a little more in conjunction with the rest, but I don't complain!

    I do a lot of walking, and some light weight-lifting.

    It's true about short people and weight loss: People do laugh when I say I started at 134, because for taller women, that's just fine; but it was near-obese on me, and was affecting blood pressure and other factors.

    I'm 5'0. In the first pic I'm about 223 pounds (101.5 kg). In the second pic I'm 187 pounds (85 kg). I still have more weight to lose but have gone down a dress size and am much fitter than before. I found it so hard to walk before!

    I'm 5'1" age 32. Photo on left is February 2015 at 11stone 2lb (156lb) and on the right was this weekend (16th May 2015) at 10stone (140lb). I'm still going but really pleased that I've stuck at it and seen steady weight loss and toning.

    (I'm the short one in the left photo (obvs) and the one who isn't a child in the right photo) - I don't have many/any of me on my own!! 9thndkezkun5.jpg

    I'm 5'2" and 166 pounds right now. I just had my 2nd child a little over a month ago. I am in the US Marines and I have 6 months to get down to a maximum of 141 or face serious consequences. I've done it before, but had a personal trainer and a lot of time to workout. This time I'm not so fortunate; my working hours are crazy so getting a personal trainer again is almost out of the question and finding time to workout will be tough with work, a 2 year old, a newborn, and a husband to take care of. Wish me luck! I'll post pictures later.

    don't worry - the above mentioned activities burn calories like crazy ;)

    All so inspiring, I've gone through the whole thread!

    I found the thread inspiring and just a tad discouraging! Most of ladies' starting weight here is my goal weigh! Oh well...slowly, but surely...

    I know xx

    I agree. My goal weight right now is 150 which a lot of these threads stating weight. But for me that is ok I'm not trying to complete. I just want to be healthy and comfortable with myself.

    I am 5'2 and SW 140, CW 133, GW 115... Personally I just want little body fat and muscle. I jog and lift weights and eat clean most of the time. I only drink water or coffee. I am very strict and doing great, been doing this for about a month now and can't wait to see me hit the 120's... Pictures? Not yet. I just have my before pics.

    5'1, 30 years old. I started a year ago at 152 pounds and hit maintenance 2 weeks ago, 37 pounds lost. I wanted my goal range to be 115-118. But haven't totally got the hang of maintaining yet, so I am 114. The size 4 petite pants are getting too big lol.

    I'm 5"3 and 128...I started at 125 but have become much more muscular. Not exactly helping my goal of 113 but muscle is always good! It's really hard for someone of my size to lose any weight. My diet is great and I work out 4-5 days a week

    I'm 5'2" and have, believe it or not, only lost 3.3kg!!! (But I've been working on toning, too.) Because I was watching the scales and the tape measure, I was a bit confused, until my SIL snuck this pic of me on the swing chair. The tape measure showed a huge difference in both my tummy and my bust... But the scales showed hardly a thing! These photos shocked me. Lol.)

    For those of you that have lost what was your Total calorie (calories plus any eaten back) level while losing and how many times per week did you workout?

    I'm 5'0", and have reached my maintenance weight of around and about 105/106 (!!). No real working out at any point, but a lot of walking, and some light weight resistance intervals of about 45 minutes during the weekends - but not at all during the too-short, hot summer. I'll pick it up again around now.

    It took me from December till mid-September to get from 134 to 106 pounds.

    You look absolutely AMAZING! We look like we have the same body type and I am right now at about where you started at 162 and 120 is my goal. Seeing these pics are inspiring to me, knowing what my end goal could look like!

    I'm still working at it. Have not quite reached my goal. I am 5'1" and would like to maintain at 112.

    Peak weight on the left in Oct 2013. Lost 6 pounds here and there and in May 2014 is when I started to use MFP and log religiously. I have logged my food for 311 days and do not intend to stop even when I reach my goal.

    I weigh all my food with a food scale. I lift weights (Stronglifts 5x5)

    I never thought I would get even here. My first goal was a size 6 which was about 135 lbs. I met the goal and just kept adjusting downward. I always thought I couldn't weigh this, but I was just fooling myself into bad habits.

    Only bad part is my boobs have all but disappeared. That purple bikini has molded cups :P

    I'm 5 ft rounding up. I'm 32 years old and have three kiddos all by c-section. I weighed 135lbs at my heaviest and currently 103lbs at my goal weight and pre pregnancy weight. After my third, I hit the gym hard for 5 months three times per week and ate clean: lots of chicken and veggies for those months. I came down steadily but surely and I am maintaining it with eating well and exercising every other day. I try to do seething active daily like walking or playing with the kids.

    There were two things that I think helped me:
    1) my husband is doing the same thing so he eats the same thing I eat. We make the same for the kids. I think if I were to make different foods for everyone, it wouldn't help.
    2) I never purchased bigger clothes for myself. I have always been a size 2/4 but couldn't fit into anything after each kid. My goal was to get back into those clothes. I stayed in my maternity clothes until I could fit into my pre pregnancy clothes. It worked!

    Good luck to everyone! You can do it!!
