Any one 5'4" and weighs abt 165lbs?need some inspiration

Hi my name is danielle and about 2 years ago I pushed my self to go from 163 pounds down to 132 pounds in about a month by working non-stop everyday until around 3 eating and drinking the best I could and then followed that up with a run when I got he from work running an average of 2.5 miles a day and this really showed me how much I could do if I put my mind to it so I think it really depends on how much you can push yourself but it is definitely achieve able.

I am 5' 5" and started at - I think (such a bad memory) 179lb after baby no 2. I did purely calorie counting, no exercise, stuck to 1200 a day and lost around 25lb in about 3 - 4 months. Sorry, am vague on exact details but I remember we went on hols so I fell off the wagon but maintained then I did another bout and lost another 10lb or so. Fell off the wagon (but maintained) as we were moving country. I jumped back on the MFP wagon 53 days ago (thank you, MFP, for reminding me) and have lost another 10lb, I think. I am just a few pounds off goal now but finding it much harder to shed weight so have begun exercising, some light cardio and lifting. I have seen a noticeable difference in my shape in just two weeks of this routine but sorry, no pics or measurements as I never thought to do any.

Basically, stick strictly to your calorie deficit and try to introduce some exercise, ideally strength training, and you'll shed weight and change shape pretty quickly but think in small goals - 5lb, 10lb, etc rather than the overall goal. The idea also is to maintain this forever so it's about making sustainable changes - to the way you eat and also your activity levels. Good luck!

I'm 5 ft 3, and weigh 155. I started from 240 pounds though. I have seemed to hit a mild plateau though, so I adjusted some things to see if I can break it, hopefully.

I'm 5'1 heaviest was 190, I started MFP when I was 184, now I am 170! I have pictures up of me at 175. I will take pictures again when I hit 165! And every 10 lbs loss.


I ate 1400 at first for April and May, and now for June I am eating 1200. I do C25K and Jillian Michael's 30 day shred.


ADD ME SHORTIES! LET'S DO THIS!

I'm 5'4 and around 180....I need to get batteries for my scale haha....but I know from how my clothes fit I am now between 180 and 185 likely. Been difficult for me over the past few years I weighed 167lbs in early 2009, eating fast food all the time+meds I was on that caused weight gain+not being active had me gain 40lbs in a year.... and then I got pregnant. And had my 3 daughters all in less then 3 years. I had actually never exercised in my life until after my second baby was born...and now my youngest is almost 2yo so the chaos of having 3 little ones is slowing down some and I am finally able to focus more on my health and fitness. I have been watching my calories and eating healthier and exercising daily for the past week(just 20 mins a day of cardio and strength exercises) and I feel soo much better! Hoping to see some changes in weight and how I look soon, but honestly that is like a bonus to how great it feels emotionally. Keep going all, and if anyone wishes to add me feel free

I am about 5'3" and I started at 164 lbs. I've lost about 16. I exercise 3-4 days a week at least an hour per session. Lately I've been doing a lot of HIIT workouts on the elliptical and the treadmill. Weight lifting is also part of my "routine". But mainly its been cutting down/cutting out a lot of processed things and carbs. I try to only eat one serving of bread/grains per day. Its hard work but seeing progress is definitely a force to keep you going.

Just posting to save for later as I may be able to dig up some pictures. I am 5'4 and used to weigh somewhere around 165lb, then lost about 35-40lb a few years ago, probably over about four months or so, and maintained it for ages. I wasn't on MFP then so I did it with a low(er) carb diet, but actually I think it would have been similar as I used to eat way more starchy carbs than I needed. So it wasn't demonising one food group, it was just getting back to normal portion sizes.

Now I'm 116lb but that's a different story.

This thread just fits my stats too! I’m 5’ 4” and 158lbs. I started at 164lbs in September and I’ve lost 6 lbs. I haven’t lost anything for the past 3 weeks and I’m starting to get discouraged. It’s hard with the scale. I’m eating a lot though. 1950/2000 calories on exercise days. Target is 129lbs.

I am 5’4”. I just took pictures this morning! I started my journey on Feb. 10, 2019 and went from 169 to 134. I would like to lose another 9 lbs. I have two kids born in 2009 and 2012. I eat around 1500 calories a day. I walk 3.15 miles every morning, go to Buti yoga 3 x a week, and started doing the elliptical 30 minutes a day again this week. I was great about using it five times a week from February to May.
