5'4 with 10-15 pounds to lose....who's with me!? :D

Hornet4Life

I'm in the same boat! I am shooting to lose 10 to 15 by my bday which is in Feb. I eat a lot of protein and greens! I also do a lot of cardio (maybe doing a half marathon in March) and light strength training (which I hate but know its good for you)! You can do it just stay positive and motivated!

5'3" with about 10 left to go I've been stuck around this weight for the past two months or so (well, I actually got down about 5lb but then I went right back up, which was discouraging). I think my problem was undereating, so I'm hoping that MFP will help me stay right on my target net calories...not below and certainly not over!

We can all do this...and remember, everyone is already beautiful no matter what size or shape! So don't stress about losing the weight. We're doing this because we want to, not because we have to...so we can have fun while doing it no matter what our goals or how fast we get there

I'm 5'2" and my goal is to lose 15 - 20 lbs. I've never been this heavy and I hate it. I'm cutting calories, some strength training, and treadmill. Trying to make better choices. Sooooo I'm with ya!

5'3" and sitting around 125. Looking to get down to 110-115 and stop the belly jiggle but I haven't been disciplined enough. When I'm on a roll I'm hitting the gym, cooking good food, doing yoga and generally feeling better. When I get off track I like to sit on my butt in pajama pants and eat pizza. I'd like to lose at least a couple of pounds before I go home for Christmas SO back to MFP!

I'd like to lose around 15! How many calories are you guys eating? That's what I'm struggling to figure out.

I have trouble with that too. I try to follow the 1200 that mfp says, but that is so hard for me. I feel like 1500 is good, but if I try for less that usually results in me being hungry/miserable and then I eventually crave really high calorie foods like crazy.

I'm 5'6 and stuck at about 138, I'd like to get down to 130. I have 3 kids, but the last 2 were really close together, so it became more difficult to lose the weight, but I'm down from 190... But the last few wks I kinda slacked, but now I'm good to go again. I do cardio dance(combines kickboxing, dance and boxing into 1) on the Wii, and climb stairs( I use my kids bathroom stool(about the size and distance of a normal step), it's what I can afford right now- it burns 250 calories in a 1/2 hr

I'm 5'3" and it took me like 3-4months to lose my last 10lbs. I felt so frustrated I almost gave up entirely. Now that I met my goal weight (114lbs) I don't know if I'm concerned about losing more or just toning up my body. I'm still flabby in parts, but working on it. I found that I lost the biggest chunk quickly when I switched from 3 large meals to 5-6 small meals under 350 cals each. I ate a 1200 calorie diet and worked out with 20 mins cardio and interval training on alternating days. I do a mixture of jumping jacks, pushups, squats etc. There are a lot of lists of exercises available, just message me if you want the list of what I do. I don't feel like writing it all down if no one really cares hah.

Good luck everyone, don't get frustrated because one day soon it will all be worth it. I still have to tell myself to put down the cookie and walk around the house instead.

Short and sweet...lots of us! I am 5'2...I have about 6 pounds left to my goal...but will see when I get there...I still have lots of jiggly that I need to work on.

kitkat9138

struggling with the last 10 lbs as well. my problem is the sweet tooth! i've always been around 120 and its like my body refuses to go lower no matter what i do. hoping MFP keeps me on top of my calories and i see results..even if i have to wait another 3 months it'll be worth it.

I am also 5'4", and I have THREE pounds that like to sneak back on during the holidays! I have gone from size 16 to a size 6 and I want to stay there. I am a weight loss and wellness coach by profession. I teach about accountability and team work. So I thought I would join MFP and walk the talk! Let's do it!

Hey I'm 5'4 too trying to lose 15-20 lbs....Hows it going so far? Good luck!!

This will be me at the beginning of the year.

I hit my original goal weight in Sept 2010 and have been at or below it since then. Recently decided that I want to try and drop another 10-15lbs.

All that being said, I am realist and I know that I won't put 100% into it right now. The holidays are a weak time for me (and probably a lot of other people too!) and I know I'd rather just continue maintaining until they are done.

So, come January 1 - it is back to weight loss mode. I don't have a time frame set to achieve my goal as I have some physical issues that can interfere with me being able to workout regularly. I am hoping I can lose it within a year, but we shall see what happens.

I'm currently 145 (or so) pounds and wearing a size 8/10 pants and a medium or large shirt.

I average between 2300-2500 net calories a day to maintain my current weight. I will probably drop down to around 2100-2200 when I go back into weight loss mode. I have a high metabolism and a job where I am in constant motion, so I know restricting my calories too much isn't the successful way for me to lose weight. I'll have to play around with the numbers a little once I'm ready to start.
