Fellow Extra-Petite Gals, Please show me your 5'0" Success Pictures

4ft 11

I'm 4'11", and when I started my journey I was close to 150. Calorie counting and the discovery of amazing hiking trails close to me brought me to 118, and it took me 6-8 months to get there. I now have a very sedentary desk job, and we have been going through fertility treatments, and I somehow allowed myself to get up to 135! I've started dialing in again recently, and I've been bouncing between 127 and 130 all month, but I'm committed to be down to 123 by the end of March. It's almost hiking season, and I want to tackle some intense hikes this summer, something that I won't be able to do unless I drop some of this extra poundage! We are taking a break on the fertility stuff, and I hope to get myself to a happy 112 by the end of the summer.

I'm somewhere around 5'. Spent most of my life a muscled 95 lb (very, very small frame and no boobs). After 40, got up to 111 and I couldn't take it any more. I was so uncomfortable. There were rolls when I bent over! Started MFP a little over a year ago, started eating healthier and got back into lifting. Dropped back down to 97lbs, maintained there for a while, then stopped logging and gradually went back up to 104. I've been hanging out there for about 6 months without logging. I'm not as lean as I like, but I'm enjoying eating what I want while still working out hard. Profile pics are right after I got DXA/BodPod testing done. 101 & 15% BF.

That is me at around 115-117lbs a couple years ago. Dress size 4/ S-M

This is me now between 96-100lbs. Dress size 0-2/ XS. Apparently I have bones!!! (also rocking the blonde). I'm exactly 5ft tall. I will say I looked and felt my best maintaining 95-97Lbs and running 3x per week. I'm about 100lbs right now and it's TRUE!! 5lbs is so clear on a short person!! Time to start running again haha

I'm 5ft with socks on.

I'm currently 118, but I feel great around 113, so I'm trying to lose 5 pounds. It's hard because I love eating yummy food!

I know it sounds ridiculous, people raise their eyebrows or don't take me seriously, but 5 pounds on a short person really makes a difference!

I'm 4'11 and right now 150 but I totally know what you mean! I was always thin and if I got to 105 I felt huge. I can't believe how big I've let myself get. :O

Hi, I have a friend who is 4'11" and is trying to lose, shes in the 190's, can any of you guys tell me what you dropped in the first month you started counting calories, at the moment there's not much intentional exercise because of a foot injury......thanks

I'm 5 feet flat with a SW of 165, CW of 137, and GW of 120 (massive boobs and bone structure probably won't let me go lower). I did boot camp religiously for a year (4 times a week) but switched to a more varied routine a few months ago with what I think are positive results! I did paleo without counting calories for a while, but now I try to stay around 1300.

You and I have literally the same body. I'm starting out at 158, with a "first" goal of 135, and a second goal of 120. I see a lot of people who are aiming for that 100 - 110 lbs. I haven't been 110 lbs since I was 12...
