5'2 shorties

Hi! I am 5'2" too! I went from 145 to 125 but it took me two years. That was done just through exercise and trying to limit sugar. Now I am getting serious about the last ten pounds and man I cannot make the scale budge. I am getting back on here to count calories hoping that if I am strict for a while I will finally break this plateau and have some progress again. My goal is 110 but 115 would work too!

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 on the "wrong" side of 50 myself. Have found the weight does not want to come off like it used too. I started last week really counting calories and slowly adding exercise (don't want to strain anything and then not be able to do any exercise, and get discouraged). Down 1.5 lbs the first week (149.5 to 148). I know it won't stay that high, but it was nice to see the scale move. My goal is by mid-August to be down 10 lbs, but it will require almost complete dedication, but I'll be happy if I see continued losses of any amount after a couple of attempts with no weight loss.

Im 5'2 and initially I started at 135. All fat and out of shape. Over 6 months I dropped to 110 which was my happy weight. Not easily maintained but it's where I wanted to be. Then I decided to build muscle and eventually bulked up to 138 and have now cut to 125 for a show. My happy weight now is probably right here at 125 but I'll be dropping more fat to compete.

hi! I'm a shortie! 5'2 to be exact and I was hoping there were success stories out there of how much others around this height had lost and how long it took!!

I'm 5"1 and I have lost 8lbs in just over a month

I'm a shorty! 5'1.75" to be exact, lol. Definitely following this post! At my heaviest I was 173lbs. Really started getting serious about my weight loss in March 2014 at 157lbs, lost 32lbs getting me down to 125lbs. I maintained that up until this winter (new job, birth control changes-ugh!) anyway, I've gained 8lbs and as we all know, it's noticeable since we are so short!! So it's time to get back on track for me!! I haven't decided on a goal yet but I'm interested to see what everyone else's goals are and see the progress made!!! I'm looking for friends for motivation, so feel free to add me!!
