I started monitoring my calories on January 12 after having a baby in November and eating TERRIBLY over the holidays! I'm the type of person who loves fatty deep fried foods and not thrilled voluntary exercise.....and I finally just got sick of it! So since January 12 I have lost 15 pounds! (if my ticker shows up....it's not reflecting my actual loss because I started a new account from my pre-pregnancy one)

I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding in August and I want to be at 125 by then. Does anybody know what the average weight for a 5'4" person is? I feel like maybe I'm setting my goal weight a little low??? I'm very happy with my loss so far and my sister has noticed that I have lost weight! I'm working at it and am kicking myself for the few days I've cheated........damn superbowl!

    I'm not sure what the average is for a woman 5'4", I'm 5'2" and my range falls anywhere from 101-136...which is a big span...I would suggest getting a body fat test done and going by those numbers instead of the scale. The charts are just so general and doesn't factor in how much muscle a person has, but the test takes into account actual measuring...just my suggestion.
