Any 5'2 ladies ?? I need motivation !!

I'm 5'2" and currently at 160.2...my weigh in is Monday so I hope that I am down at least 2 lbs. I been trying to lose weight for several years now. I've been trying to lose baby weight for seven years now!! I swore I wouldn't let myself get big after my pregnancy and I did the total opposite. Ive gone up in down in my weight since my daughter was born. My lowest weight since my daughter was born was 140 which was about 3 years ago through WW. I am now back at it and this time I have to just keep pushing myself to reach my goal which is 130. Im currently doing Insanity and even though its tough I love how i feel now. Good luck ladies!!!!

I'm 5'2'' and my heaviest was 169, my goal is 125-130.. I'll get there!

5'2''s unite!

Feel free to add me!

i fall in this category! im 5' 2.5".

I started off at 158 in jan 2010, lost 10lbs very slowly and the joined mfp in jan at 140 this year and got to my goal of 125 in march then decided to lower it to 122lbs and have been so since april.

I'm 5'2. My heaviest weight was back in 2005 at 181 pounds. I was in a tight size 14 then. I fluctuate a bit, but I'm down to about 130-133 pounds now and am in between a size 4 and 6. I still would like to get rid of my soft middle, but I think that maybe be nearly impossible at this point.

and she looks fantastic, btw...
just sayin...cuz I know her *wink*

I am 5'2" and I started at 200 last September. I lost 20lbs and then have just coasted going up and down 5lbs. Finally got back at tracking on MFP. I have lost 6lbs in the past 4 weeks yes I was up so now I am back to my 20lbs. I am setting small goals. My next one is 160. I would love to be 140 and it would be fantastic to be 125. But realitically, If I can get ot 160 and stay there for a while I am going to be pretty happy with myself. It is not the getting there it is the staying there that is hard for me.

I'm 5'2" and I'm currently 136 lbs!!! My highest was in 2006 at 170 lbs. In 2011 my highest was 150 lbs. My ultimate goal is 120 lbs.

I'm 5'2" and I've lost almost 30 lbs:) I guess it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I'm a small girl!







This was today at 139.4

Oh! I fall into this category! I am 5'2" and currently weigh 190. I am looking to get to 140. I would love friends/partners on this.

FYI

Check out VERTICAL CHALLENGERS in the forums under support/motivation thread.
It is a group for all of us shorties!

hiya and welcome to mfp! i see there are alot of us short arses around here!

i'm 5'2 too, and currently weigh 82kgs (180lbs). i've always been bigger, and this is the lightest i've been as an adult. at my heaviest i weighed in at 106kgs (230lbs), and that was when i returned to work 4 months after having my middle child (3 years ago).

i've had 2 c sections, have 3 kids (oldest just hit 5), and i work full time (hubby is a house dad).

but even though i weigh less than i used to, i'm still a clothes size larger than when i was 5kgs heavier before kids. i think my kids have munted my body!

what has really helped me is taking the emphasis off weight loss. i'm concerned with getting fitter and living longer. my goal was to run a half marathon, and so i started walking/running. now running has become much like breathing. i make times with my hubby to make sure i can get out and get the time for me. because getting out is also a bit of sanity, too. and i get to run about and properly play with my kids now, or my eldest will bike while i run and push the baby.

my hubby reckons i'm back to the old me when we met. it's nice not to just be a wife and mum and a number in a workforce- i now have different hobbies, and am making different friends who know me as 'jo'- without all of the extras. my hubby encourages me to go and do long runs through the countryside with a small group of mates! it's good.

and the weight loss has really been an added bonus of the fitness goals.

Hi ladies!! I am 5'2" and I started with MFP in January at around 148 but I think I hit more like 150. I didn't lose in the first 4 months because I wasn't logging my food. But starting in the beginning of May I lost 2-3 lbs and now I'm down to 133. I have a trip to Cabo planned for Thanksgiving and would really love to be down to 125. It's doable but this is my last 10 lbs so you know how that works...it comes off pretty slow! This is what I've been noticing that helps me lose: changing up my calories for the day (it's wierd but I just spent a weekend in Vegas and came back a .5lb lighter and I was definitely not eating completely healthy like at home), changing up my exercise...I'm addicted to Zumba but when I go to a ton of classes during the week my body gets used to it. If anybody has any advice for me that would be awesome!! Good luck on your journey!!! Once paying attention to what you eat becomes a habit you'll be in the zone!! Friend me if you'd like I need some motivation too...for that bikini I'll be wearing in 6 weeks!! :-0

Howdy, wow there are a lot of us! I stared here last saturday. Lost 3 pds in my first week. I want to be 135 - 140 by Thanksgiving

Wow!! Way to go on losing 3 lbs in your first week! Congrats

5'2", started at 244lbs. after my second pregnancy, now I fluctuate between 134-130lbs. 135 was my original goal, sometimes I flirt with going into the 120's. lol I've been maintaining my goal for over 1 & 1/2 years now:flowerforyou:

Congratulations on your weight loss! That is amazing! I have a question for you if you don't mind...when you were losing those last few pounds how did you do it and how long did it take you to lose the last 10 lbs or so? I feel like I need to change up my routine and possibly start running...? Thank you for your input!

Hi!

It wasn't easy, but it's doable. It took about 2 1/2 months for the last 10lbs. I messed around with calorie cycling (zig-zagging), I'd go really low one day and then way high the next in attempts to shock my system, but always meeting a weekly goal of 8400cals. I exercised, but not habitually...taboo, I know... but no major loose skin or re-gain here lol Diet was (and is) my main focus regarding weight management. During that last couple months, I got really serious about my macro percentages, went to 35% carbs, 35% protein, and 30% fat, & also 1500mg sodium. Carbs proved to really be a hindrance to my attempts, so I would try to stay below that 35%, about 100-120g a day. I ate A LOT of lean meats (salmon, chicken breast, shrimp, etc.), and leafy green veggies (rapinni, bok choy, swiss chard, spinach, mustard greens, collard greens) as well as non-starchy veggies (asparagus, portabella mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, etc.). Best of luck, stay with it, and keep the focus :flowerforyou:
