Calling all shorter women!! 5'4" and under!!

Hi there! I'm 28, 5 ft. 4 in. Staring weight of 206, currently at 171. My goal is 150 and see how I feel. I have never been a small person. I am working in a calorie deficit- 1400ish per day. I am also working out- cardio 45 mins a day and weight lifting. I have been at it since mid-December.

Hello! I'm 40ish and 5'2". Starting weight was 185, current weight is 160. Ideally, I'd like to be at 135ish. I'm eating lots of little snacks with lots of protein throughout the day and making sure to get healthy veggies and lots of steps. I aim for 10k a day and about 1,500 calories a day.

Hi! I'm 5'4" and 29 with a starting weight of 167. Current weight 160. Like you, I was 120 lbs 4 years. My current goal is to get to 145 lbs, as I have more muscle now than I did then and see how I feel/look from there. I know I can get there, it will just take time and a lot of determination. I have been slowly increasing my amount of activity over the last 6 months and the last 2 months I have started tracking what I eat. I can really tell a difference when I am running at 160 lbs vs. 120 lbs though!

I'm just under 5'4" - the most I ever weighed was ~230 after an illness, the least I have ever weighed is 128 after an illness. currently 149 and a size 4 on top and 6 on bottom, I wear anywhere between XS and M usually. I run and do resistance training using machines at the gym. I run 3 miles 5 days/week and do strength training for 30-60 min 5 days/week. I ride my bicycle to get places pretty frequently except during winter. The hardest part is eating enough to fuel the exercise but not eating too much. My goal weight is ~140, but I'm not overweight currently, especially given my body comp. It's important to do both cardio & strength! And it's important to eat enough. If you, as a healthy, active 27 year old, eat 1200 or 1400 calories a day when also exercising a fair amount, your body will think you're starving, and it will cling to fat and slow your metabolism. Not drinking alcohol also helps a lot.

You can do it!!

Hi all! I'm 5'2" and currently 150lbs. Looking to first get to 136 and then decide from there.

I just got back on track this week and today did my first day of the Couch to 5K running app. I did start it this January but gave up after a prolonged snow spell sometime mid March. I also starting logging properly today.

Feel free to add me

I starting again this week i am now 200lbs yep a lot for 4'10 but i will get back on track n this time keep it off i feel more in order when i track my calories n map my walks. Good luck to all.

Hi OP, I’m a lot older than you but I was up to 183 a year before I found MyFitnessPal. I managed to lose 10 pounds before I started here in January. Since then, I’ve lost 30 pounds (173-143) and plan to lose another 8 and reassess at that time. I’m 5’2.5”.
I log everything and have my Fitbit connected to MyFitnessPal. I walk briskly around my neighborhood at least 5 days a week and practice Pilates on my reformer. Best of luck to you:)

Hi I’m 5’3 with a current weight of 152. I want to get down to at least 130-125. Which is what I used to weight before. Lol I re arranged my macros and now I’m getting ready to start this journey again. I started going back to a healthy vegetarian diet eventually vegan. I’m starting to do body weight exercises and run I try and workout at least 5 times a week. Trying to find that motivation even though it isn’t easy. But we’ve got this best of luck!

Hi there! I'm 5'4 and my highest weight was 200 a few years ago. My SW last month was 176; with CICO and the 30 Day Shred (I'm on day 27!) my current weight is 165 as of this morning. My GW is 130.

Even though I severely hate eating veggies and unseasoned eggs and all, seeing how far I've come in a month alone is what motivates me. Remember that you're the one who's consciously making an effort to do better for yourself. That's better than a whole lot of other people, and you may cry a lot (lol I sure did) but keeping logging everything and remind yourself daily with other people's success stories & progress pics to stay on track!!!

Hey! I'm 5'1 and had a starting weight of 155 lbs. I've only been actively trying to lose weight for a couple of weeks and am only down 2 lbs as of today. I've been working myself into all the changes rather than just being cold turkey and changing everything in one day. I quit using nicotine products in April. My goal is 120 which I haven't been in over 6 years now. I am eating at a calorie deficit but have changed my entire diet, increased my protein goal to 120g/day, and as of monday, I have cut all cokes (which is HUGE for me). I've been trying to burn at least 200 kcal a day with cardio plus minor weight lifting, typically about 5 days a week. I've lost a few inches (or so my husband says) but I didn't measure at the start. I tend to quickly get very muscular in my quads so I feel like that's where a lot of my lack of change on the scale is coming from.

Hi! I'm 31, 5'1 and 185. I was 194 about a month ago. I've been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds for a few years now, since I had my second child. I don't really have an ultimate goal weight but I see myself being somewhere around 140. My goals are more physical strength and feeling fit than a set weight at this point. I finally quit smoking (yay!) and my focus right now is working out 3-4 x a week at the gym doing cardio, weights, and yoga. I plan to run a 5k for my 32nd Birthday in September You got this, girl!

28 years old, 4'8"!

Weight currently sits at 138, early pregnancy with baby 2. Got all the way up to 188 the day my son was born (hello, water retention!) Im mot setting short term goals, my body and pregnancy dont get along, but after the wee one arrives in january my goal is back to 115-120 like i was prepregnancy.
