My story is kinda long I won't bore you with too many details I'm 27 5ft tall and the last 10 years I've had some body image issues / food issues I gained so much weight when I got pregnant with my daughter i had her in 2009 I did not weigh myself much back then but I know In 2012 I reached a whopping 210ish pounds I was so heavy and I felt like I wasn't truly living I tried to lose weight and I did lose some but I got pregnant I'm 2014 I did good and only gained 16lbs by January 2016 I was 191lbs and I just couldn't handle being heavy anymore of my adult life I got a Fitbit and realized I never moved at work (desk Job) but I sure ate haha the weight was slow to come off I was being stubborn on Nov 1st 2016 I weighed 181.6 so I only lost about 10lbs in 10 months that wasn't good enough I started counting calories seriously every day and to date I weight 163.8 I still have about 40 pounds until my goal weight but now that I feel like I have figured out the key to my success I know I can get there!18 -

I'm 5'2 and currently at 166lbs. I started at 189lbs May 2015 after having my first daughter. I started MFP back in November of 2013 weighing 182lbs. I went down to 138lbs within 6 months. At that time, I wanted to lose about 10lbs more and tone up. Shortly after that, I got pregnant, gained all of the weight back plus a few extra pounds. I was happy in the 130's, but wanted to be in the 120's ☺ I have pics, but don't know how to post them on here from my phone. You all look so great! Awesome transformations!!!!4

I'm at 140 now, trying to get to 115 or so by June. If I'm not exactly there, I won't be upset. Glad to hear someone has made it though. I'm 5'3" though so similar goals2 -

Do you only run, or do you add in other exercise too? I'm on the same goal plan and I am on my feet at my job all day 7-8hrs a day and I jog a mile a day. I'm only burning about 100cal with my jogging and not sure if I should tweak that or add in other stuff. Started clean eating with my husband. I'm at 140 now already lost 8-10lbs. Trying to get to about 115 if I can.1 -
I am 5'2". Currently 117 lbs. Don't necessarily have a goal weight in mind. I'm just taking it a month at a time and seeing how I feel. Trying to focus on lowering body fat percentage more than weight.
Quick version of my story is that after suffering knee pain and going undiagnosed for two years I got very depressed and stopped working out and started eating more. I ended up finally getting a diagnosis of CRPS and the woe is me train picked up steam. I gained up to 145 and as I am very small, that was huge for me. After a while I couldn't take it anymore and decided to do something and ended up getting down to my lowest of 111. I gained back about 10lbs and started feeling very fluffy again so on January 1st I started counting macros and weightlifting. I'm now down 5 lbs and back in my normal clothes.
Sorry, don't really have any pics.3 -

Bump!
So much inspiration here from other shorties like me!! When you're 5'0 weight loss feels like a whole different ballgame1 -
I just wish I had reached that magic 5 foot mark...........
Sigh!
Anyway I have no idea what I started as but I'd guess somewhere around 185lbs. Now down to 119lbs with a goal weight of 110lbs. By the way I am 4'119 -
I'm 5ft 3, I weigh 120lb and I've lost about a stone in a year with MFP. It's been a lifestyle change (started the gym February last year!)
The key for me is just maintaining it now and toning up more!5 -
How did you do it?0

I started at 215 and I am currently at 153. I am 5'1 and have been at this for almost 8 months now. Goal is to get to a healthy weight at the moment because I have always been overweight. I haven't weighed this much since middle school!18 -

5'2". Started this journey years ago weighing around 155 pounds, dropped 50 pounds, gained a little bit of that back in muscle though. I'm currently around 106 lbs. up and down a few pounds because I'm a runner and I have a busy work schedule so eating enough calories in a day has become a challenge.
Red dress pic was taken in 2012 I think, this was after I had lost maybe 10-15 pounds.
Most current picture was taken a few weeks ago.
How did you lose the weight?

I eat within my calorie allotment and I exercise at least 5 days a week. I do eat back my exercise calories.
