5’-5’3” girl success stories before & after

Didn’t notice the skinny feet until you said it! Oh my gosh, it’s true!
I was wondering if it’s the same pants and how they’re staying up, or if it’s very similar pants.

5'3, starting at 250 down to 125.

I am 5'2", at my heaviest on the left I was 150 lbs at 37 yrs old, 3 years after giving birth to my daughter. We'd gone on our 10 yr anniversary trip to Mexico and when I saw the pictures of me in a bathing suit, I knew I had to do something. The picture on the right is the first bikini I'd ever owned let alone wore,
I started WW and a workout program and was able to lose 25 lbs in 4 months and I haven't looked back since. 8 1/2 yrs later I maintain around 125 pounds. I have gone above that and below but have never let myself get back over 130.

Girl!!!!!! Whatttt???!!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀 My jaw is on the floor. I can’t believe that’s the same person!!!! You look incredible!!!! Congratulations on a complete & total transformation!!!! 💪💖🤩🌟 sooo sooo inspiring!!!!

It took like two years and some permanent scars on my knee (two running falls in close temporal proximity), but it was definitely worth it health-wise. I was 25 with cholesterol of over 300, even though I was vegetarian and a fair amount of knee pain from a car accident several years prior. Now my cholesterol is in the optimal range and my knee only hurts when it's going to rain.

Hi ladies! I am just under 5’1” and 6.5 months ago I topped out at 168 pounds. I got tired of hating my body, so I changed my eating and started using the gym membership that we were not making great use of.

I now go to group exercise classes 4 days a week and walk 2-2.5 miles the other 3 days.

As of this past weekend, I am weighing in at 134 pounds. I had to buy a whole new wardrobe for Christmas because I am now down to a size 6. My size 12 pants had to go!!

This picture is at my heaviest weight and current. I would like to lose about 35ish more pounds putting me at 125-130lbs. I am 5'2 and started my journey July 10th , 2018.

I'm curious, does anyone get more than 1200 calories a day?

I'm 5'2" and if I put in I want to lose a lb a week, I get 1200 calories.

If I input .5 lbs I also get 1200!

I have 50 lbs to lose so it's not like I'm close to my goal weight.

MFP gives me about 1330 calories. I’m 5’3” 142lbs and lightly active. I think I have it set to lose a pound a week. I’ve lost 38lbs so far. I used to get around 1450, but with every lb lost, that number has slowly gone down.

One thing I noticed, is that even if you’re entering your weight in the “progress” section, you need to re-enter it into the “goals” section. Even if the weight is correct in the “goals” section, you still need to reset it with the same number and it will adjust your calories. Sounds weird, but it can change your calorie allotment.

Also, I have a hard time sticking to 1330 calories, so I try to get in a good walk most days just so I can eat back some of the exercise calories. Slowly but surely the weight is coming off. Good luck to you!
