Fellow shorty here! :) 5'2'' Total lost- 49 lbs SW: 205 CW: 156 GW: 140 I may continue to lose once I reach 140, but I'd be very happy there. I think the last time I was 140 was my freshman year of high school. Don't remember the last time I was below that. Ultimately, I want to be happy with my body, not the number on a…

Me! I've been on myfitnesspal for almost 3 years. I was at 53 lbs lost in January, but I had foot surgery and gained back around 8 lbs. Currently, I've lost 49 lbs. My starting goal was 60 lbs, which would put me at 145 lbs. I'm thinking that once I reach that goal, I will work on toning up, more than cardio. I have had…

Everything is fine in moderation! Enjoy your pizza. :)

I do the same thing! Doesn't it go by so much faster? When I do it this way, I feel like I have more energy and usually add in another workout.

Today will be day 2 for me. I'm in!

It's all about the way you prepare things. Try seasoning things differently or cooking them differently. For getting more vegetables in your diet, you can always add them to soups or casseroles. Even if you're eating a cream based or cheese based soup you can get your nutrients from hiding those veggies in there. Do you…

Like many others have mentioned, most restaurants have nutrition information available either in the restaurant or online. As far as location, you can really tailor any menu item to your needs. Ask for no cheese or dressing. Always choose to have meat grilled or broiled if it's an option. Split your portion in half and…

It's an awesome feeling! I've definitely looked at a pair of pants and thought the same thing. I started at a size 16/18. One of my goals is to fit in a single digit size by Christmas. I'm a 10 right now, so I'm hoping to be in an 8 soon! :)

I think it took me around 20/25 lbs before I went down a size. I carry all my weight in my stomach, so pants would be loose in the hips, but very tight in the waist. I've lost 47 lbs so far and lost 3 pant sizes. I'm currently 157 lbs and a size 10/12.

I'm in! Already have my 50 done.

CW: 156/157 (fluctuates) Short term GW: 140 Long term goal weight:130 Hi! I'm 5'2'' and have lost close to 50 lbs. I'm working towards a short term goal of losing 15 more lbs, but would be very happy with losing 25. It's been a little over two years since I've started my journey (slow and steady), and I'll admit that I've…

Green smoothies are great to get your vegetables in! They are made from combining a base of greens with fruit. There are many recipes online. When you first start out only add about 3/4 c. of spinach (or other greens), then slowly increase once you're used to the taste. Add ice, spinach and fruit/vegetables of your choice…

I'm 5'2.5''. I've been on myfitnesspal for the last two years on and off. I've lost 50 lbs.

200! That's a lot of butter!

This is something I need to commit to. I've drank soda most of my life, and it's terribly addictive. I'd be up for the challenge!

Your story is very similar to mine! I started about two years ago and have lost about 50 lbs so far. My is to lose 65 lbs, but your right, does it really end? Great progress so far! You look great! :)

Nothing. It's all about moderation. If I had to give up certain foods, I'd fail within a few days. I believe that it should be a lifestyle change, not a diet. Occassionally I crave things like chinese and mexican food. If I cut them out, I know I'd head straight to the restaurant and eat everything in sight! Instead make…

I'm 5'2.5''! SW was 205. GW is 135-140. My lowest since the beginning of my journey was 155. I recently had foot surgery and gained 5 lbs, then lost 2. I'm currently 158. I started on MFP fall of 2011. It's been quite the process, but I'm not going to give up! Take a look at my profile for pictures.

I was on Sertaline for about 2 years. It caused me to gain close to 50 lbs. I'll admit that I felt hungry all the time, so I all wanted to do was eat. Anyway... It's been about 4 years since I've stopped taking it and I've lost all of the weight, plus 5 lbs. My goal is to lose 60-65 lbs. The Zoloft was not the only culprit…

Height: 5'2'' Age/Gender: 25/Female Highest weight- 205 lbs Current Weight- 155 lbs Lowest weight- 140 Goal weight- 140

I know you may feel like you have no shape, but it's there! I'm an apple shape, too. I gain all my weight in my stomach and chest.After losing 50 lbs, I've began to realize that I have more curves than I thought. Really focus on your health, though. At first I was focusing on my appearance, then realized that if I continue…

I've lost a small bale of hay! Love this list. :)

I've lost 47 lbs and have gone from a 40DD to a 38D.

It varies. I try to stay under 300 calories for breakfast. Here are some ideas- - egg sandwich with slimwich buns (90 calorie buns), egg and deli ham - Cheerios or Honey Bunches of Oats - Whole grain waffle with creamy peanut butter - Banana with creamy peanut butter - Strawberries on a whole wheat waffle

This my favorite: 2 c. frozen spinach 1 banana 2 tbs natural peanut butter 1 medium apple Can't even taste the spinach! It also helps to drink it through a straw. You can also add natural sweeteners like agave nectar or honey.

I know at first it seems tricky, but there are actually lots of options. I typed a few below just to show it's possible to eat yummy food on a 1200 calorie diet; you just need to balance things out. I try to keep my breakfast under 300 calories, lunch under 300 and dinner around 400, then leave the rest for snacks. Do some…

I'm 5'3'' and have been fluctuating between 157-160 lately. SW: 205 GW: 135 Take at a look at my profile for pictures.

They have the calories on their menu now. You can take a look when you get there or look online. I usually get the you pick two with the bowl of chicken noodle (80 calories) and the smoked turkey sandwich (around 250). I typically only go there for lunch though. They have many low calorie options. You'll be able to stay…

String cheese, carrots, green pepper, pop corn (not bagged), baked chips (small portions), almonds, apple with peanut butter, celery with peanut butter, a banana, a couple slices of lean chicken or turkey, tomato slices with salt and pepper, pickles... I could go on and on :)
