Any short person make it to a healthy weight after being obese? Questions about appearance

I'm a little taller (5'4.5") than you but have gone from 260 lbs down to 122 lbs. I recently gained a bit and am about 132 lbs currently (135 in profile pic).

This has more to do with body type than height. Us apples have to lose quite a bit of weight to see the stomach shrink (and we'll never have enough hips to have the "small waist; curvy hips" look that all women's clothing manufacturers seem to favour).

I'm 5'4", went from 160 to 130 so far

I'm 5'4.75". I went from 195 to 125. I am also apple shaped. I was getting comments about being too thin and not needing to lose any more. But they have lessened. Honestly I still have more fat on my stomach than I would like, but I am trying to maintain where I am. And for the most part I think I look pretty good. I think that @JaydedMiss is right. People today don't always recognized a healthy weight.

I’ve gained a little weight in the past 2 months because of health issues but I am 5’1 and I was 120 lbs. When I started my weight loss journey, I was 180 lbs. Like people said before me, yes your body type determines where your fat goes first. I gain weight first in the legs and butt. From what I read and from my own experience, the first place you tend to gain weight is the last place where you lose weight. I’m not saying you won’t lose anything of course but I think at 140 lbs if you had lost a little more then that would have come from the stomach most probably. I gain first in the legs and that’s the last place I lose from so at 120 lbs my stats were like that :

Arms : 9,5 inches
Breast : 34,5 inches
Waist : 24 inches
Hips : 33,5 inches
Legs : 20,5 inches
Calves : 13 inches
Ankles : 7,9 inches

So obviously I still had a lot of fat to lose (more so in the legs and unfortunately when I gained a little weight back on recently well that’s exactly where I gained it back lol) When I first started to lose weight, I was losing more in my upper body even though I looked pear shape and the weight loss was giving me even more of a pear shaped appearance lol Later on in the journey, I started to lose more in the lower body than in the upper body and my proportions evened out a little more. I’ve never been in a healthy weight range and my family was telling me I looked sick and too thin at 120 lbs. A lot of people outside from my family were constantly congratulating me and telling me it was great. It’s sad but other people started to get nicer the more I lost ^^ Anyway, I just want to say I feel you with the “you look sick” and “you’re too thin” comments that are in a way discouraging and bothersome. In those times, I try to tell myself that what matters is what I think of myself and how I feel health wise. To answer your question, I too believe everything falls into place when you get to the weight you want to get to. Let’s motivate each other to lose weight and be healthy!
