Hey everyone! Add me to the list of 5'5"ers!! My highest weight was somewhere over 170. I didn't weigh myself much back then. I got down to 125 for my wedding in 07 and then lost my motivation and snuck back up to around 150 before I got pregnant with my son. The pregnancy weight came off by nursing and took a couple extra lbs with it (easiest weight loss I've ever had! ) I started MFP about 8 weeks ago at 139.5 lbs and weighed in yesterday at 129.4. So I've lost 10 lbs and have hit my original goal . I think I'd like to lose 5 more and get back to my wedding weight though! I haven't taken any pics recently but when I do I'll come post em here!!! I'm thinking I must be small boned since any extra weight seems to show and I'm pretty sure I could weigh 115 and not look unhealthy. I just think it would be too hard for me to maintain!0

I'm 5'5 and weigh 252 ... I'm big boned and was very thin as a child and teenager. When I was 135 - 145 range I looked sickly but thought I was fat. When I have pictures to share, I will do so. Here's to us big framed girls!!!0

I'm 5'5" and just starting. I was at 213 and am now at 207. I'll be very happy to be under 200. I'm also big boned so I am shooting for 175 right now. I'd love to be in a size 14 again. Once that is accomplished I will reevaluate. I am seeing so many great success stories on here that I am staying motivated. I don't have before and after pics to post yet, but I can't wait until I do.0

I started out here on mfp at 267....I feel like I am stuck in the 250's....it is SOOOO hard to get out of the 250's for me.0 -
I started on MFP exactly 8 months ago today at 160#. I might have been more to start with, but I didn't get on the scale until I started here.
I've lost a hair over 30#, and I'm happy to maintain my weight now. If I lose a little more, that's fine. If I gain a little while strength training, that's fine, too.

Before Zumba in January, when I'd already lost a few, to right after a run a few weeks ago.
Same swimsuit, last summer (I gained about 8 pounds or so after that) to this summer.0 -
Wow, lots of amazing body transformaions here !
I'm 5'5 and went from 135 to 115 in 2009 when I quit smoking and decided to be fit and healthy. I maintained pretty easily and got pregnant last summer. I've put on 35 pounds during pregnancy. My daugther is now 4 months and I still have a few pounds to lose.
SW: 132 (after the initial delivery loss)
CW: 123.5
GW: 116-118
I have a very small frame (big hips and tights, which look even bigger since I have no breast lol ! but still a small frame). According to the freedieting.com Ideal Body Weight Calculator, that puts my ideal weight to 116-120 which honestly really is where I feel good.0 -

I am 5'5" as well. I started MFP on June 21st at 208 lbs as of this past Tuesday the 16th I weighed 191.4 lbs. So I have lost 16.6 lbs. I have set my GOAL weight at 137 lbs. When I graduated from high school in 1993 I weighed around 130-135 and no one ever said I was too skinny. Sorry I don't have any pictures - I will get some soon. I have been battling my weight since I turned 21 15 years ago. I just turned 36 and decided that it was time to quit playing around with the one and only body God gave me and take care of it so I can be around a long time for my only child (daughter) that is 5 years old.
Heaviest Weight - 214 lbs
SW MFP 208 lbs (JUNE 21)
CW 191.4 lbs (AUGUST 16)
GW 137 lbs (AS LONG AS IT TAKES - SLOW AND STEADY WILL WIN THIS RACE)0 -
Fantastic! Thank you all for the amazing inspiration.0

Will post when I finally have some after pics next month.0

Getting there, slowly but surely.

Heh - i'm big boned, and after my DEXA scan last week, i've got the numbers to prove it. I've got bone density of 111% of average.
My "goal weight" is around 135 lbs, but i'm more concerned with getting my bodyfat down to about 20%. Those numbers should be in the same range, though, based on current numbers and predictions.
My heaviest was about 212, i was at 199 in December, started at the gym in mid-February at 185, and this morning i'm at 166. Slow and steady, right? I've lost about 12% bodyfat in that timeframe.0 -
Keep up the good work, ladies!
I'm 5'5" as well.
SW: 161.0

Does anyone else weigh thesmelves every day, just for your own day-to-day accountability? I used to hate weighing in and thought it was a bad idea to do so every day (I fluxuate a little), but now I feel motivated to not eat before bedtime knowing I get on first thing in the morning...0 -
I'm a daily weigher too... I can't help it!0

I weigh every day and log my weight on a free site called Physicsdiet.com which does statistical smoothing of the numbers to show you a trend line, even if the daily weights fluctuate all over the place. I'm pretty much a science geek and like seeing my real trend hidden in the zigzagging daily weights.0
