5Ft 3inch Ladies Question

I'm almost there, I have about 2 more pounds before I hit that big 3-0 mark. I had lots of slips ups along the way, but the number had been steadily moving down since January. Some people might be faster, but I've noticed with me that slow is best. If I try to change what I eat, hoe often I go out to eat, and the amount of exercise at once, I tend to burn out quickly. So I try to focus on one thing every couple of weeks. Its a work in progress.

9-10 months. A year to lose 35. Slooooooooooow, but that's how it goes for me.

I'm 5'2 and haven't hit the 30# mark yet. I *think* I will be able to do it in 7-8 months. It took me 3 months to lose 7 pounds...I changed my diet, and lost another 10 pounds in about 6 weeks. I assume that I can lose 13 more pounds in about 10 weeks or so...

It took me about 3 months to lose my first 30lbs. I'm hoping for the last 30 to come off quickly but not happening so fast. I dropped my calories down far the first few months and did a lot of exercise, drank a lot of water. I still drink a lot of water and do exercise but I've adjusted my calories and have slowed down on the exercise a bit so I can let my body recover.

Edit to say; my motivation is my family and to prove someone wrong that told me I was a quitter at heart.

Don't have any tips, but I suggest doing lots of research and try not to buy into things that sound too good to be true.

I want to say around 6 months give or take.

I lost my first 30 pounds in about 5-6 months....down now to 71 pounds loss thus far and I have about 15-20 more to go.

Hi! Ive been dieting and exercising since January! Im 5ft3 started at 193 down to 149lbs. My waist is
31inches, Im trying to get into my mom's wedding dress for October. Dress is a size 9. ive already tried it on twice. I know im defiantly getting close. I dont want to try it on again and get disappointed so im waiting till I drop another 10lbs at least.
Lades that are 5ft3 do you know what my weight goal should be to wear a size 9 dress? My mom is no longer with us, she past of cancer so I want to wear her dress to honer her memory. Thanks for any help.

Hi there. It took me just under 6 months to lose 38 lbs. I'm on MFP every day for encouragement & support and log EVERYTHING in my diary-the good & bad. I still have treats like chips, chocolate & pizza, but since joining the gym my metabolism has improved so much that I still lose. Need to lose 26 more.

I am new at this.. Today!! I Hope that I can get down to 125 lbs in less than a year.. That means 45 lbs to lose!!!

I am 5'3 1/2" and I started trying to lose weight on 3/23/12. I am now down 29.4 pounds just under 3 months later . Stick to your daily calorie goal, when you work out DO NOT eat your calorie deficits. You don't have to, and your results will be better if you don't.

This is a personal opinion. What works for one doesn't always work for all.

I'm 5'2 im nopt at 30 lbs yet but im at 20 and ive lost that in under 3 months so im hoping to lose the next 10 in a month and half watching calories and what i eat is what works for me. If u need some mfp pals dont b afraid to add me! Good luck you can lose the weight if u try hard enough!

I think it depends on how much you weigh to start, in addition to your starting activity level and eating habits.

If one weighs more, is sedentary and eats when/what one wants, implementing changes to caloric/content intake and activity levels will likely result in a more noticeable change initially, in a shorter amount of time than say, someone who is already active, on a consistent diet and working on those last 20 pounds.

I just keep telling myself "it takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing, 8 weeks for your friends to notice, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world.. but it's a life long effort"

Paired with the "science" of 3500 calories = 1 pound, and a targeted 1-2 pound/week weight loss.. it may be consistent time to lose across the board, in terms of numbers on the scale, anyway.
