Before and after 5'1-5'5 women!! all you shorties out there, this is your place!

This will not be true for everyone but i'm five-one and the less i weigh the better i feel. Higher weights lead to knee pain and hip agony, so best weight for me is 120 to 125.

I'm a bit above that now and boy do i feel it...but look ok and not overweight to ppl who look at me.

BUMP to remind myself to post tonight!

These may come out huge, sorry in advance I barely figured out to upload them. My weight in the first picture taken outside of Graceland in Memphis,TN taken 8/2012 I was surprisingly nowhere near my highest, which was 350, in that picture I believe I weighed between 305-315 lbs.? In the second picture taken a few days ago, I was in the very late 220's (I am currently 229.2 and recently began recovering from a 20+ lb. regain) at 5'5. Before this site I had been in the 300's since early 2006, before that I'd went on a starvation diet lost 60 lbs. that I didn't maintain and went from 321.8 to around 260 in 2005. Thanks to MFP these past couple of years are the first time I've registered at under 250 as an adult, I am super thankful to this site & the participants! <3

I used to weight 255 and am 170 at this moment u do end up with lose skin but lifting light weights has helped alot and lunges and squats just keep it up dont get discouraged for some lose skin be happy

I don't yet have before and afters but I'm 5'3", started on Sept 1/15 at 240 lbs and as of today I'm at 180 lbs, on my way to my first goal of 140 lbs. No special tricks. I just stay under calories every day and am currently only doing Focus T25 for exercise.

Just be consistent and patient. It works!

Hello! I have been fighting with my weight since I was a teen. I am 5'5 ish and my heaviest is 260. After a brake up of a 7 year relationship I got down to 193. Then I met the love of my life and after 3 short years we have both gained. About 7 weeks ago at the dr i weighed 255. I said that was it there was no way I was going back to being 260, so with the help of my family dr I began my Journey. it is 7 weeks now since that weight of 255 and I weigh in today at 235!! I am 20lbs lighter!!!! My first goal is to get under 200 witch I am hoping to do by my birthday June 9th(the big 27woo hoo). I have other small goals but my big big goal is to be healthy. Lord knows I may get breast cancer one day (since it runs in my family) and hopefully my blood pressure will be one less thing to worry about.

This photo is a one year difference. 3/17/2015 (before) & 3/17/2016 (after) I'm 5'5. My highest weight was 254. I am now 189. This is the 2nd time I have gained and lost and this time I plan to keep it off. The up and down weight differences has done a number on my body, so stay motivated to keep it off.

I still have about 50 lbs. to lose, but the first 30 lbs. lost has made a big difference. The first image, I was about 190 lbs. The second, I weighed 161 lbs. I am 5'2". I have gained back 5 lbs. over the last few months since the second image. Winter has not been kind, but I'm back at it now. I hope to stay steady and get this 50 lbs. or so off by mid to late next year. We'll see how it goes.

I'm 5'1 and 120. You ladies can do it!!

Wow. Your photos are a perfect example of how a muscular body can look so much smaller than a fatty body of less weight. You look way smaller than I do and I weigh a good 15lbs less. Of course, you have boobs too. I've been hitting the weights, so hope to have similar results soon!
