My ideal weight would be between 120-125. Unfortunately, my body just feels comfortable around 135. I have never gone above this weight but would love to get out of the 130s!

    Yep. I'm stuck at 141 and my goal is at least 135. This is the first time I've been stuck since starting MFP and I don't like it. I've just started exercising so my body is probably in shock :laugh:

    That's how I get at around 150. I've been down to 140 in the last couple of years, but never lower. My ideal weight would be 130. I hope I can beat it this time!

    You need to "shock" your metabolizm. How? well either add a few calories, take a rest from exercise, or do some core work ... just make a drastic change for a couple days, then go back to routine. Give it a try! but don't cut calories below daily required. make sure you are sleeping enough, getting enough fat, drinking enough water.

    This is where I'm at too. So frustrating...I wonder sometimes if I'm just meant to be 148.6 lbs.

    Yep, that's me I have 9 lbs to go. My ideal is actually 108-110. Which is ridiculous! I was that weight when I was 12!!! My goal is 115. I am bouncing. Between 123-124. Its so annoying. I had a couple bad days with my calories and board with my workout Uhg, don't know what to do. I have increased weight, get the burn but not sore. I give 110% to cardio and still stuck. I think I might look into the fat burning foods?

    I'm so darn close. I can SEE the body I want right below the layer of fat. I'm planning on concentrating on my core. That's where the hula hooping comes in. It's amazing for that. I'm at 139 right now and NEED to get to 130! C'MONNNNNNN!!

    wow- 110 is light! How tall are you? I have heard that one of the biggest mistakes is doing TOO much cardio and cardio only! Muscles burn fat - if you do too much cardio, you will burn your muscles after a certain point... then you're flabby :/ Try to do some light weight-training, it may help!

    I hate it when that happens! Whenever I would start training for pageants it would take me a few weeks to see my weight drop. My body would hold onto all it could because I confused it so much! But when your body lets go of that weight, it REALLY lets go! Don't give up hope!

    Yep, me too, and suffering an injury so I can't do much of a traditional workout or run right now. I'm gonna go to a jazz and rib festival this weekend and walk a kajillion miles in the intense heat... :drinker:
