    Even though I'm 5' 7", I'm inspired seeing this post.
    I'm starting C25K and it's great to see how many people have success with it.
    I hope I look half as good as you by the time I'm done, good work!

    Congratulations hot stuff! Your transformation is amazing and beautiful! And you're so right, it's awesome to see success stories of us 5'3" ladies. Six months from now I will have worked to mirror the success you've had and will constantly remind myself to make this a lifelong lifestyle.

    On that note, I sincerely hope that you will continue the diligence to maintain this lifestyle that's gotten you so fit and healthy. I lost 30lbs and was very comfortable at 127lbs when I was in my mid-20's. Love and lifestyle changes made me fat again for far too long. Add two babies and 12 years and I needed to lose that same 30lbs again. If I could turn back time this would be my advice to myself as it would've saved me gobs of self-loathing.

    Best of luck to you!

    Thank you!!

    I'm also 5'3", but I have a little more to lose than you . . . do you mind me asking what was your starting weight and current?

    Thanks ladies :)

    I started at about 145, give or take a few, and I'm currently hovering around 117. I feel like I'm at my body's comfortable, happy weight, if that makes sense.

    I am still in school, I'm 22 and a senior about to face the real world! I lost a large portion of the weight from August to December last year. I had a super busy class schedule and began working part-time as well, so I rarely had time to focus on how hungry I was. I ate (and still eat!) a Kind Apricot and Almond Mini bar or apple whenever I'm feeling hungry. I often have to stay on campus all day and I usually don't make time to eat lunch, so unfortunately I usually get Chick-Fil-A (chargrilled sandwich, a classic) or some other relatively healthy option with some meat because I rarely cook it at home.

    Oops! Sorry - I'm slow. Great job!!

    What a difference a year makes! I always liked seeing shorter girls on here so I thought I'd add my modest success.

    Thanks for looking! Hoping to inspire myself to keep it up :)

    You look gorgeous girl!! Well done. We're the same height and starting weight, so that's very inspiring to me!! What kind of exercising did you do? I saw your post about food, but didn't see what you did working out, other than the marathon, of course! I've never been a runner, though, unless I'm being chased. :wink:

    Wow, thanks for the kind words everyone!

    As far as exercise, it's mostly just running 3x/week. I usually do two shorter runs (3-4 miles) and a longer one on the weekend (6-7 miles). I'm starting to do strength exercises though (your standard circuit training type stuff) so hopefully I'll start getting some muscle.
