@tacolover10231989 I’ll attach a BMI calculator, you will see 140lbs is in the “normal” range for someone who is 5’3.
@brittgreenlikethecolor88 - you’re killing it! Great job on all your hard work.

5 foot 3 here and started on 168 last November. My body didn't physically feel good. (even sitting down). Now I'm 158 and feel so much better already, AND I enjoy exercise😊
Oh, and I'll need new sportsbras soon because these are getting loose!
My goal is 134.10 -
If you go below 1200 you risk losing muscle rather than fat. Hence why it recommends you have 1200 calories a day minimum.3

I met my UGW in Aug 2020. I was able to maintain my weight between 110 to 115 for about 3 months. Since November my weight has increased to 125 lbs. I'm feeling so-so about the weight gain. I haven't been tracking. I don't want to track for now so I'm trying to find other ways to lose weight with mindful eating, walking, drinking enough water and starting up strength training again when the weather gets warmer.
I'm quite ecstatic about strength training because I was beginning to see arm/leg muscle gains in December.
I've discovered that I did not like the way my face looked under 115 lbs, too thin. Now, my focus is to reach 120 lbs and attempt to maintain between 115 to 120.
All in all, despite my gains in the past months, progress is still progress. Keep going everyone. ✌️
I'm 32 and 5 ft.

Hello! This is amazing! I am mid-success story also. At my heaviest, I was 227 lbs, and I am maintaining 165 ish. It's a tough journey, and my goal is 145 ish, but it's sooooo worth it. You can do it! Keep it up!

This is such a great group of shorties! Glad to see you all on here. I find it so difficult to see differences when you're just under 5'1. I started logging my food on 1/4/21. Starting weight was 165.8 (highest ever). I saw myself in a picture with friends and couldn't recognize who I was. I'm back out of the 160's as of today at 159.2. Using 1200 calories as the upper limit and eating very clean. Have had a mostly dry January which I know is where most of my calories come in so I'm sure that's been a big help. I exercise 5-6 days a week and usually burn around 400 calories there. I also take a walk after dinner to make sure I get at least 8,500 steps in a day. I'd like to be back in the 130's. My build is muscular and I enjoy weight lifting so I don't see myself in the 120's. Keep at it ladies!!13

Your all encouraging to me who's 54, 5'4" and weigh 283. I bought a NordicTrack Treadmill got it a week ago yesterday. I've been doing 30 minutes each morning and sometimes 20-30 minutes at night. Following a healthy eating plan and drinking a ton of water. I went from 295.8 to my current 283. It's going to be extra hard to lose a total of 150 lbs. I will likely have a ton of loose skin because my stomach is massive. But I'm determined to keep going until I lose the weight.18

Hello lovely ladies. I’m 5’ 3” I began my fitness journey at 159 lbs. The @sfter pic is at 124 lbs. I have maintained a weight of 122-132 for the past year. If I can do it you can too!!! Believe
Amazing! Killing that bikini pose!10 -
I'm 5' and weigh 180. My term goal is 10 lbs in 2 months, which I think is do-able. My long-term goal is 50 lbs in one years. You all are so inspiring!13

I’m 5’3.5”. My starting weight was 286 in November of 2018. I’m now 160. My doctor has said a good goal for me is 155, which will be a BMI of 27. I’m happy with this, and feel like it will be livable long term.14

Short girls unite! I love this thread. I'm basically 5'3" and started this year at 155. Today I'm at 151 and am hoping to lose about 25 more pounds. All you ladies are truly inspiring -- I'm really in awe of what everyone has accomplished and am hoping to follow in your footsteps. Great job everyone and let's keep at it!6

I'm 5'2 or 5'3 depending what time it is or what gas station I am leaving.
My weight has gone up and down. I've gotten down to 130 by being active, be aware of my diet, and keep stress low.
Over the years I gained the weight back.
Currently, I am in pelvic floor physical therapy. I struggle with leakage sometimes when working out and it can totally mess with my mood if I am at the gym or on the trails.
Also, watching my water intake. And eating SLOW!
I love this message board and would love to connect with all the short ladies!15 -
All of you ladies look amazing. What a transformation. I’ve lost almost 12lbs but in pictures I barely look like I’ve lost anything. I went from 140 to 127 so far in this month of January. My stomach area is still 36inch across even though I’ve lost all of that weight. I’m hoping to get this belly tightened. I’m 5’2.7

@EnzaWalton that's the area I am still working on as well! It's like a curse with not much space to deal with! All of my fat seems to hang right there yet!3

I am 54 yrs old, 5'3" and started my weight loss journey in June. I was 214 lbs I track all of my food intake here on MFP and keep my calories to between 1100 to 1200 a day. I found out I have Chronic Kidney disease so began a Kidney friendly diet and I cut my sugar intake. At the same time, I began walking 30 minutes a day a few months later I added 1lb hand weights to my walking. I started using a rowing machine about a month ago, and it has really helped firm and tone my body. My goal, in the beginning, was to lose 80 lbs, I have 9 lbs to go!!36
