shorties weight loss pics

Oops it posted twice :blushing:

I'm 5'2" my starting weight was somewhere around 190+. I started in January 2012 and lost 33 pounds in 5 months. Hit a plateau and decided to do a metabolism reset so I'm still at 158 pounds.

Set my weight loss at 1.5 lbs a week. I was doing about 2 workouts a day. DVD workouts (strength & cardio), some weight training with weight machines, walking, C2 5K workout, tennis, bike riding. Total workout time was around 2 hours a day & about 6 days a week. Portion control-weighing & measuring my food. I did eat back most of my workout calories.

What do you mean by a metabolism reset? Is that eating at maintenance?
PS- great job!!

That's eating your TDEE. Total Daily Energy Expenditure= BMR + your daily energy (workout calories, housework calories, working calorie, etc). Yes that would be your maintenance calories but for some people who have been a very low calories (below BMR) find that when they first start to eat TDEE they actually gain weight until the body realizes it now is going to continue to receive theses calories all the time. Metabolism reset usually last 8 weeks at which time you cut about 15% of your TDEE to start the weight loss again. The Eat More to Weigh Less concept. Thought I'd give it a try since I had been at a stand still for a month.

I'm 5'2'' just so you know
The first picture I was somewhere between 170-180
The recent picture I'm somewhere between 130-125.

I was having an unmotivated day where I felt this is IMPOSSIBLE ( I am also 5'2 and am in a similar position to your start pics). You just gave me the BEST motivational boost by sharing your progress. Thank you so very much :flowerforyou:

thomassd1969 - Thank you

I'm 5'3.5, which some consider to be short and I've lost 50 lbs to date. I did it by eating less and moving more. And of course I couldn't have done it without the support of my wonderful MFP friends. There is a progress pic in my profile.

Another shorty here - I'm 5'3".

Here's me in June 2011 (around 210lbs):



Here's me, almost a year later in June 2012 and down over 70lbs.



This is just what one year of eating better and exercising regularly can do!

Hey there! I'm 5'1 : )

Here is me at 120lbs:



I run, use the arc trainer at the gym, and definitely strength training! : ) I eat a pescetarian diet (only fish, not meat); it's full of fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and other fresh, wholesome foods.

just on 5ft (prob closer to 4ft 11 TBH!!) weighing 152 at the moment - started at 165 in March, but didn't start actually doing something about it until about 7 or 8 weeks ago, still a work very much in progress!
