    Hi. I'm 5' tall. SW 133, CW 117, goal weight changed from 113 to
    115. It just seemed more realistic. It has been a struggle to figure out what works, but it just gets easier now. I feel great!

    Yes I understand. My "mini" goal is 118 and if I plateau or start to struggle there, I plan to stop focusing on weight loss and switch my focus to muscle gains

    I'm also 5'2 and working with 1200 calories. I just started back up a few days ago and trying to stay motivated. I'm 121lbs and want to get back to 112lbs.

    Do you get hungry during the day? Any tricks that work for you?

    I'm 5'3" but my starting weight is much higher but I'm still right around that range for calorie goals. I would still definitely like to become friends with you all for support :)

    Do you all weight out/measure your food? What's working well for you?

    5'3 went from 145 to 116. Eating 1200 calories. I find that high protein foods keep me fuller longer.

    I weigh out pretty much everything. At first I was just logging estimates, but I find that I get better results when I weigh everything! The food scale I bought was only like $10 on Amazon so I think it was totally worth it. You don't need a fancy $50 scale for sure!

    I'm 5'3 eating 1230/day. I'm working on my last 10 lbs of baby weight. I have 5 kids and when I get to my goal, I'll be at my "before I had any kids weight"! I've never been thin, but a healthy curvy figure. My goal is 155,which is what I weighed when I was 18....sooo 17 yrs ago. Thankfully my husband likes a little meat on my bones, because I'm not interested in getting lower than 150-155, lol!

    Yes, me too! I need to order a second scale from Amazon for my desk. People think I'm OCD for my food weighing and logging but it actually works! I notice that when I eyeball a measurement (like scoop it into a bowl to weigh it) i am really good now but i still have to use the scale to be sure!

    Good Morning..
    I am 5'0 and 138lbs. In the perfect world with out lifes distractions and being tired all the time I'd like to be at 125 but, really I would be happy with anything under 130. This week I have incorporated more veggies in my diet and have reduced the amount of sugar that I am eating however, I just can't get motivated to excersise. I have also been thinking about buying a food scale, is it really worth it? Any suggestions?

    I am 4'11" 53 year old lady. SW 150 I am now 112 with a goal of 105. I am on 1200 cals. Food scale definitely helps. I decreased carb intake and increased protein; that helps with hunger.
