    I don't have a success story yet! But I'm 5'3 and would love to get some motivation and workout/diet tips please. I'm not sure what I weigh.. Maybe 140? Not a muscular 140 either.

    @memickee : I ended up weighing 113. Some people say I am too thin, including my nutritionist. I don't agree. What if you get in the 110s and decide you are too thin. Do you have a plan?

    @RainaProske I plan on being at the high end. If I am eating the proper nutrition, I am not going to worry about what others say. However, if it affects my health then I will be so excited to eat more.

    You people -- all of you that I can see (and I'll just bet the rest of you!) are So Gorgeous! I am So happy for you that you've lost this weight while so young . . . glad you didn't wait until you were senior citizens as I did. You have givens yourselves gifts no one else could give, and the gifts are above monetary value.

    To you senior citizens, I am so glad I went ahead and did it, however. The great "They" tell us we can't do it at our age.
    They say we'll have to use their pills, get their surgery, or that we are too old to try.
    They lie!
    They are liars from start to stop.
    If I did it, you can, too.
    I chose no surgery, but if that's what it takes for you, do it!
    Just do it!

    Jilian`s shred is a great way to get toned fast, for the diet, idk what MFP has given you for a calorie deficit, but it gave me a 1200cal restrict. I think if you stick to the 30 day shred and eat up aroun 50% of the calories you`ve burned you might be able to lose 10 lbs. It`s very individual though. Try to stick to a high protein low carb menu.

    I'm barely 5'1" but I claim it..I started at 181 the pic on the left I was around 155..and now stay around 122.

    I do not want to lose anymore weight. I lift 5x a week and do minimal cardio. It'll be two years since I started in November. I slowly still change my eating habits and increase my strength with a progressive lift program.o8isfpavd90c.jpeg

    I wish I had your curves @pandora721!! In my opinion, you have an ideal body. Great job keeping it up from your initial loss!
