    Geez, you really don't need to lose any more weight! You look great and I don't think it's necessary to go lower than 125 pounds. I am 5'2" and 170 currently. I had my child 9 months ago and have been trying to lose the weight for the last 3 months with exercise and eating right. But I have to say, I would give anything just to be 140 again! lol. I was 120 and a size 4 pant and small for shirts at my lightest and I am an inch shorter than you! Good work though = )

    Actually, the recommended weight for women that are 5'2" is around 115. Recommended weight for a woman that is 5'4" (my height) is 120.
  • I love your story! It's very motivational because you've done it twice, and in such a short time! You look fantastic in your pictures. Oh and your daughter is adorable :) Keep up the great work sweetie!

    All I am doing is sticking to my calories 90% of the time. I have been bad and eaten way too much lately, but I'm still losing as I stick to my calories most of the time. Also I am breastfeeding and that seems to help me ALOT, I was breastfeeding my daughter last time I lost also. I would like to say I workout, and I do, but working out for me is walking carring my son in a pack :)

    Seriously, I am just not happy at this weight, I feel lumpy, and my belly kills me, lol, but I know this is from the babies. I am seriously small boned, so I do think I can be at 110 and look good, not too skinny, I am actually pretty curvy so I really don't want to lose that :) I do plan to see how I feel at 120....115, and stop when I feel good, but alot of what I need is toning. Now if I could just start some harder workouts, I'd be great!

    Try P90X or INSANITY.

    I do try to eat healthy, whole foods most of the time, but I do eat whatever I want in moderation. My exercise when I lost before was 30 Day Shred and jogging everyday. This time around, I am only getting in the occasional elliptical workout and doing LOTS of walking carrying my 6 mo.

    I really do want to try one of those, but I am worried about spending the money and not sticking to it, since it's expensive. But I only looked into P90X, and that was ALOT of working out, which right now, I'm not sure I would do. How about Insanity? Is it as good? Does it require the hour or so daily of workouts also?

    Yeah I know, but that's really crazy low especially for someone who has had a child, let alone two! Don't be so hard on yourself. It also has a lot to do with how you carry the weight. I looked terrific at 120 and would never have tried to get down to 115. Those standards are very high and they don't take into consideration how having children permanently alters your body chemistry and hormones. Also, about the cheating, if you don't allow yourself those bad foods once in a while, you will feel deprived and then go out and overeat. You have to have a plan you can see yourself sticking to for the rest of your life. I could never do this without having bad foods sometimes = ) And taking car of children is A LOT of exercise so never doubt that you are getting exercise even on days that you can't get to the gym.

    Hope I wasn't being rude! I just think the standards they set are way too hard to maintain. I like to think more in terms of what I can stick with that won't make me feel so deprived. lol

  • Wow this is really inspiring. I'm the same height (5'3) and my heaviest was 180. I'm now between 170-175. It varies. I've been struggling to lose weight. I just keep going back and forth with it. I'm not that dedicated even though I really want it. Keep up the great work!!

    Don't worry, you are not being rude :flowerforyou:

    However, we all have different body styles, and different ideas of where we would like to be. And the arguement of having children being why that is too low is not true, my mom had my brother and I, and she is 103 lbs (5'1").

    Thanks for your responses! :drinker:
