Hey everyone! I am just getting started on my fitness journey and would love to see where everyone else is in their journies (you don't have to be at your end goal - progress is progress)! I am 5' tall, and have always had broad shoulders and bulkier muscles. On this journey, I hope to lean out and slim down/lengthen some of my muscles instead. I honestly have no idea what my body is capable of looking like or doing fitness wise, but I am excited to find out! Please post your stories here (everyone is welcome, I was just looking for my fellow fun-size girls)!

    I'm also 5'0! I started at the end of November at 146.5, and I'm now at 128lbs. I seem to have stalled though, at the moment. I count calories and exercise 5 days a week.

    Hi! I'm 5'1" and have lost weight after each of my pregnancies. Currently focusing on fat loss and muscle gains so I can be happy with my midsection. With my first 2 children, I focused more on the numbers on the scale (115 was my GW) and did mostly cardio, but now I want to be strong and fit and tighten up after having baby number 3.

    My routine is to exercise 5 or 6x a week, watch what I eat, and to not judge myself too harshly.

    Feel free to add me.

    There are several threads on this subject, so you could also do a search and find stories you might find helpful.

    I'm a little over 5' and as of this morning have lost 110.8 lbs. Unreal. Am 119 lbs now and am not sure where I'll end up -- 110? 105? 100?

    When you say "lean out," "bulky muscles," and "lengthen" muscles -- I think you just want to focus on losing fat. That is, be in a calorie deficit and, eventually, you'll end up where you like.
