4'11-5ft weight success stories

Hi!
I'm 5' even. I started at 191 when I first came to MFP (210 at my heaviest). I am now at 122.
There is a thread of shorties before/afters somewhere around here!! Do a search and you'll see a LOT of pics of people who ARE succeeding!!! :happy:

GOOD LUCK!!

I'm in the same boat as you...I'm 5 feet and looking to drop 20 pounds. I'm about 150 pounds right now. When I look at the BMI index and other target goal weight suggesters, it makes me discouraged because I don't think I could EVER be anything in the teens! Yet, they say women my height can/should be. I'm content with just being more comfortable with myself.

Thanks for the 2 success stories on here though!

I just joined 10 minutes ago. I'm only 5'1" and 172.5. I too carry my weight in my hips and butt. I also just had a baby 8 weeks ago and I miss my old body. I was around 130 when I got married almost 3 years ago. I want to get back to that.

I'm 5'2 :flowerforyou:

I'm 5'2" if that counts. I just made a comparison shot in my profile picture. The before is from age 18, the after is now at (almost) 22.

I'm 5'1". I went from 155 to 133. You can see my "before and durings" on my profile!

I'm also a shortie at 5'1"...I just started to be serious about my journey to weight loss and have lost 4, almost 5 lbs so far this year! I'm hoping to by around 130 like I used to be back in the day when I was all toned up and lookin' kick *kitten*! I'll share my success story when I get there, but us shorties gotta stick together!!!

I'm 1.57m & my weight is down from 75 kilos (about 165 lbs.) to 54 kilos (about 119 lbs.).. You can see my ticker below for proof

Oh Lucyhoneychurch, great to see your pics! I'm also 5' 2.5" and 38yo (but only for another week LOL). Your success is very inspiring.

Great to see all the other pictures as well, and to hear your success stories Thanks.

Lucyhoneychurch -- I love the "Room With a View" reference! Love your story -- what do you to maintain your weight?

Quite honestly, I eat 1800-2000 calories and I keep up with exercise! Been nursing some shoulder problems from doing waaaaay too much HIIT (but I owe my body results to Jillian Michaels) and have had to incorporate more rest days to avoid stalling out. My goal is to rock the two piece this summer, but still have to lose the layer of fat covering the abs. What three kids can do to ya..... ! Hoping to get around 117 or lower IF that lowers my BF%. But if I have to gain muscle to burn fat, then so be it.

i am 5 foot 1 inch heaviest was 255 current is 229 if you look at display you can see a big difference but i have a long way to go
! i have about 90-100 more to lose

I am 5'2" looking to get toned. Started last year, lost my job, spent 8 months in the duldrums, still no job, but back at trying to be fit. Pilates, swimming and skiing for the last 3 weeks and I already feel better.

38 is old? Try 53!

I am 4'11" and presently weigh 118 - 120. My ultimate goal is 103-105, but I will be ecstatic if I can reach 110. It is SO hard to love this weight! What are you ladies doing to lose the weight (exercise wise?)

HI everyone

I am 5ft 3" and am currently 212 pounds..ugh. My body has taken a beating after having 2 kids, my youngest is 21 months old..so more excuses. I am trying to shed as much weight as possible as we are going to be trying for baby #3 in the next 6 months. Please feel free to add me as I am looking to get and provide as much support as I can. I currently work out 4 days a week and am doing the body by vi shakes and have lost 4 pounds since the new year.
