5' - 5'2" girls I want to hear your story and pics! Continuation!!

Love this thread! I have such a hard time visualizing what I might look like as I progress on my journey, so all of these photos are awesome! Way to go, ladies!

I'm 5' 2.75", started at 227 lbs, and have set my goal weight to 130, as it's the mid-high range for BMI (which I don't put complete stock in, but until I get closer, it's an approximate goal). I mentioned to my counselor that that was my goal and she seemed to think it was WAY too low. Looking at some of these photos, I think it's just about right. Of course, everyone has a different body composition, and I care more about how I feel than the number on the scale. A few years ago I was doing really well and got down to 165 and felt great, so who knows -- maybe I'll be happy at 150! Also tracking my body fat and body muscle percentages and taking measurements, so I can work on gaining more muscle.

I would love to have friends with similar goals and who keep their diary open to friends. I love viewing others' diaries from time to time for inspiration. Cheers and keep up the great work!

Hi Phys72,

I'm in my 40's, 5'3' and also have the same goal! I currently at 154 and would love it if you could add me so that we can motivate and support when needed.

Please feel free to add me, my diary is open!

Oh and I'm about to be 50yrs old on Jan 15th

5"2, 31, started at 196 lbs and got down to around 102lbs. This was too low and doing a 90 day plan, I've gained weight and inches. I'm feeling uncomfortable around 120lbs, so just want to lose a few of those again and some inches!

Also following this thread as a fellow "shorter" person. I'm 5'1" and currently weigh 143 lbs (which fluctuates as high as 147). Goal weight is between 115-120 lbs. I've started eating healthier and exercising using T25 6 days a week. I'm extremely curious to hear about others' success stories and how they were able to lose the weight. Diet? Exercise? Combo?

Him i had a baby in feb 2015 i weighed 10st 8 in march 2015!im 5ft 2inch & current weight is 124lb
I still look chubby though some of u girls weigh the smae if not more & look skinnier my scales need a upgrade haha!! This is me now

Ignore my messiness only just moved home halfway through doing it

Hi I'm 5'2. Started at 157 in March of 2014. I'm currently hanging out in 135-136 area and trying to lose the last 10 or so pounds. 10 makes a big difference at our height. Currently feeling a little stuck. So I looked at the progress photos and I can see a big difference (The ones attached are at 147/139). I try to work out about 3 days a week and eat a 1/2 pound deficit. New friends are always welcome

Thanks @missnelso04! Sounds like you got the right attitude And yes take a before picture. Even you don't feel like putting it out there I wish I had a good one of me at my highest weight for those days where its hard to see the difference.

Another shorty here! I'm 5' 2"; I'm one of (if not THE oldest!) at 57! It truly does get harder and harder to do this as you get older. Sadly. I dont have any current pics, though I am thinking of taking one tomorrow . . . I'm currently at about 145; goal of 120 - 125; though at this point, I will celebrate HUGE at 135!!!
I've struggled with my weight all through my adult hood. But in the last few years, I've seemed to struggle even more. This thread is so very inspiring! Everyone keep up the good work!
I've noticed that everyone looks so different at similar weights: which goes to show, that we cant really compare ourselves to eachother. What looks good at 125 on one, may not look at all the same on someone else. We all have to determine our goal weight individually, and according to what our own personal experiences are.

Hi I am new here. I am looking for support to drop 26 lbs. I joined a running club and run 3 days week at 12.5 mi pace. I try and take a Weight lifting class on Sundays. Some of biggest challenges are finding time to exercise during the week and eating right. I have a huge sweet tooth. I seem to have gotten that understand control. I eat pretty well..sometimes I don't eat enough calories. I need to increase my water intake. I am looking to add friend's for inspiration.
