I'm also 5'2" just turned 40 years old last week. I started December 1st at 225 lbs. Currently 154 lbs.
Using MFP and fitbit.
I want to loose another 15 lbs or so. But I've switched gears and I'm going for a. 5 lb a week or so loss goal. Doing a 1,000 calorie deficit for 9 months is enough and I want to focus more on really being in a rock solid pattern of eating appropriate calories in a day for how much activity I have. I am a stay at home mom of a child with special needs that requires a lot of care. I spend too much time sitting on the couch with her snuggled up sleeping on me.
I average around 15,000 steps a day, doing what I call living room laps. Walking and jogging inside.

@kerivkennedy
Happy Birthday! Your story hit home because I turn 40 in a week and I'm just...ignoring it? I'm not sure what I'm feeling.
No pics and I have a semi success story...42 pounds down. Started at 204, currently at 162. Originally wanted to lose 70 total but right now I'm focusing on getting stronger. 5'2"
I visit this thread every day though, it helps and sometimes I feel like I have such short, stumpy legs! It's SO good to see all of you inspiring ladies! Thank you and congrats to all on your success!

@2013allen I hear you about wanting to get a new set of numbers. I dipped briefly into the 40s before my weight bounced back into the 50s. I'm very active too and consistent weight loss comes down to being very focused for a very long period of time. I took part of in a six week challenge where I committed to not eating out, sticking to my calorie goal, and journaling everyday. The challenge gave me the extra strength to say no to food pushers and myself when I felt out of sorts. I lost 14 pounds during that time and I have managed to keep it off. So don't give up hope. I think I will join another challenge in October. That should help me avoid Halloween candy madness. Good luck!

I'm a little shorter than 5'2 I tend to hover around the 5' mark but seeing this makes me so happy. I have already lost about 11 lbs and about 3 inches from my waist and another 3 from my hips. It's amazing what such a small amount can do to a short persons body. I am starting off with a weight of 230 or so. I am currently at 219, which is what I weighed in February of this year when I had my check up. I can't wait to see how my body transforms when I lose all the fat. I'm looking to a goal of between 100-130 lbs. which would be about half of what I started off as.

5"2. I started out 170 lb postpartum and now am 131 lb. moving house to my parents helped as I eat salads for lunch here. Also having a more active lifestyle since I'm not working now (I naturally got a lot of steps at work). If I fill up on fruit, eggs, tuna and veggies and walk 10000 steps a day, the weight comes off. Happy with all of my body now except my tummy. Partly I think coz I stress a lot and have cortisol buildup there. So far losing weight and exercise (mostly walking) has helped my stomach to decrease. My aim is to bee 125-128 lb.

I started watching what I eat and exercizing on July 5th after hating how I felt and looked in a pic someone took of me. I was 9 months postpartum. Here's that pic before and now almost 3 months later I'm down 17lbs from 189 to 172. Excited and love my new lifestyle. Trying to reach my next small goal of 169

spikeyhair · October 2016

I'm 71 yo grandmother have lost 33 lbs since March another 7 lbs to next goal and maybe a few more after that. Do lots of walking videos and use kettlebell and dumbells, working out every day. Stuck at the moment keep losing and gaining same couple of pounds. Determined not to give up though

grain91 · October 2016

5'2 here. I started 13/9/16 at 101kg (222lbs) and am currently at 94.2kg (207lbs). My goal weight is 60kg (132lbs), but it may change as I get closer. It's so inspiring seeing other short ladies killing it, and I can't wait to post my own fabulous progress pics one day!

joans1976 · October 2016

@spikeyhair - Go you! I like that you set small goals.

@grain91 Are you taking pics? Not necessarily to show on here but in sports bra/undies? I started my journey in April and didn't take any pics until July. I WISH so much that I had. They are good to put side by side on the days you want to give up so you can see the change! Good luck!

@hithisisili you look like you've lost way more than 17 pounds! Nice work!

KyleGrace8 · October 2016

I'm 5'3 and heaviest 190 (or the last time I had weighed myself at that time). (Bottom picture sitting down) But this was from my sister's baby shower and I hated this before picture with a passion bc I didn't realize I had gotten THAT big. I'm glad it's just a before picture now and I didn't stay that wast for long. I most often hovered around 170-160 (striped shirt picture) I was a yo-yo dieter and always gained it back. Now I'm the bottom red dress pictures. I achieved this by gradually changing my lifestyle instead of cutting things cold turkey. I realized a lot of the food I ate didn't make me feel very good either. I switched out and cut back over time and now here we are! It's been a year and a half not gaining any weight back! I've either maintained or lost the whole time which is unheard of for me. I've also been working out for the past 5 months and have baby stepped it the whole way as well. I'm the healthiest I've ever been!

Current weight: 140
Lowest weight: 135

Current size: US 8 UK 12

I'm 5'1. I started out at around 235 lbs (16.78 stone, 107 kg). I weighed myself at the dr's office a year before starting my weight loss plan. I was 230. I'm quite certain that I gained 5-10 lbs during that year. So I have NO IDEA of how heavy I got. I started on MFP in January of 2014. I did know what I was doing. Some days I was only eating 800 calories. After doing a lot of research, I upped my calories to 1200. Eventually, I found out how much I was actually supposed to be eating by using the IIFYM calculator. I worked out 5-6 days a week. I did mostly cardio and my weight routine only include 3lb weights. As I gained more knowledge, I added more lift days and heavier weights. I plateaued around 160 lbs. (73 kg. 11st 2lbs). Then I hired an online trainer. I started working out even harder and longer. I lost and an additional 25-30lbs. I think the key is to gradually cut out unhealthy food. I found delicious healthy recipes online. It takes awhile to get used to but I promise it gets a lil better. I really love the MFP forums because you gain more knowledge, you get to see similar people share their stories & people are supportive. I didn't have any support or guidance until I hired the online coach. It wasn't easy but perseverance, persistence and patience eventually pays off.

Hello all -

I started my weight loss journey on 9/10/16. I have a pretty active lifestyle during the week walking my son 3.5 miles to school each day. On 3 of those days, I walk an additional 2-2.5 miles. Because of this activity, I eat around 1450 calories per day and try to cook most of those meals.

I typically eat 1 serving of processed carb/day (usually a slice of whole grain bread), the rest is fruit, veggies, nuts, eggs & meat. I also use whole fat diary as a condiment only. I love shaved Parmesan cheese, because it packs a flavor punch.

Please feel free to add me!
