Any women 5'3 or 5'4 with before and after pics?

I haven't got pictures to show you but I am 5'3.

I'm currently close to my "new" goal weight of 55kg (not sure the pound equivalent!) but, honestly, at 56kg I don't think I need to lose more weight. I just picked a number out of the hat and set my first goal. Then realised that deep down I wanted a flat tummy and no chafing between my thighs! So I set a new goal.

I would aim for exactly mid point in the "healthy" zone of the BMI chart. And then if you want to keep going aim for a bit more weight loss, but don't get too close to the "underweight" zone... it doesn't look very good!

Bumping to follow. This is so interesting because there's such a variation of what looks good on different individuals.

I'm 5'4 with a medium frame / bone structure. I don't seem to have much of a waist and a friend recently described my body shape as a "plank". (I envy you curvy women!!!)

I carry most of my fat in my gut and regardless of weight, l feel "thick" most of the time. My highest weight on record was 192, pics in my profile are from around 180, and there are also pics from being in the 135-140 range. Right now I'm at 139 and not focused as much on weight per se, as toning up and kissing the belly fat good-bye.

Thanks for posting this - it really is healthy to have exposure to a wide variety of perspectives. :flowerforyou:

Bump.........i really like this post. I am 5'3 and its easy to feel discouraged with people who are taller look way thinner at the same weight. I am glad you started this topic....thanks

I'm the same. I am 5ft 4 was around 140 and now am 130lbs but I don't look a lot different - my clothes are looser but nobody has actually noticed that I am thinner. I had initially thought that I would like to be 120-125lbs but I am close enough to that to know that I will probably need to lose more to be happy. 110lbs would be the lowest I could go in a healthy bmi range so I'm thinking that might be a bit thin because I've always had curves and don't want to look like a boy! I think a goal size would be a good thing to set rather than a weight - I'd love to be a size 8-10. I started at a size 12-14 and am now size 12 but still nowhere near able to fit into a 10. I think it all depends on where the weight sits on you and how much of it is muscle etc.

Hey I dont have any before and after pics because Im not done yet. I am 5 ft 4 and my CW is 158 I think. I would like to get to 133 lbs because its half way between what I was at school and where I was when I re-started my weight loss. I intend to see what my maintenance calories are at that and see if I can cope and if so ill stick at it. But this time around I am going to concentrate on having a good body not just being at a certain weight.

Its great to be able to read about other people the same height as me so thanks for this post.

bump

I'm5'4

started at 201 size 10/12 or juniors 15
now I'm at 183 size 8/10 or juniors 13

I would like a 145, that was my high school weight and it looked good on me.... I will strive for 140 to have a yo-yo between 140-145

you look fantastic!
we have a similar frame... did you do anything specifically or did you just diet/exercise?

The truth is just counting calories and exercising... The only difference in food is that now I eat wheat bread and wheat pasta! Mainly portion control....

I dont plan in cutting carbs,diet sodas or sugar per say until I hit a plateau.... so basically alot of portion control!

5ft 3 182 to 141 (in the pic im up alittle right now like 2-3lbs but that doesnt make a huge dif.)

Ohh Wow! Unbelievable results! GREAT JOB!:flowerforyou:
