Those who are not overweight but are still trying to lose

chelleyr9

I am back and forth between 124 and 126. I am trying to get down to 120 (started at 138) and the last five pounds are not budging at all!

I lost almost 20 pounds at first, but now that I got back into my "normal" weight range, I can't seem to lose anymore!!! And this has been stuck for two months now! I think I'm going to raise my calorie intake like some of the other posters suggested and see if that helps. I'm totally up for new friends, if you wanna add me.

I am on the border of average/overweight, so I would like to lose another 5 pounds to be more inside the "healthy range." And yes, it's hard to do when you are close to/at your close weight!

Same here. Crossed over the line at the weekend.

I decided to start more cardio to keep the drop going. I will see where it takes me.

monicayg

yes.. . that's me.. been working on 10 lbs.. well now.... 9.5 for the past year..... ughhh....very frustrating...I do eat a lot of fruit during the day.. but like today.. that leaves me with only 300 cals for the rest of the day.... so I'm bummed...

sheri02r

About 5 lbs left to go! At this point I'm interested in toning my body. Feel free to add me, it's nice to have friends who are kind of in the same boat. We can motivate each other for sure !

I would suggest increasing strength training instead. Cardio is good for health but all it does for weight loss is allow you to eat more to have the same, small caloric deficit, and a regiment with a lot of cardio usually leads to a loss of a large % of lean muscle, not fat just fat.

Add me! I would like to lose 5-10 more pounds, I've been stuck hovering around the same weight for about 2 months now!

I am in the healthy weight bracket for my height but I am trying to lose 16 more lbs to get to my UGW (120). Add me if you like. :-)

I originally wanted to lose 8 lbs but then decided 10 was a better number. I was having a hard time after 5 lbs lost. I then, increased my calorie intake a little and the rest of the weight is coming off. I set my goal to lose only 1/2 lb a week. Since I am at a healthy weight I try not to let myself become to consumed by the number on the scale.

I am definitely in this category. Feel free to add me if you like. Still fighting the last 10 pounds to get where I used to be.:happy:

tequila09

me!!!! i'm 5'8 and was always at 150ish then gained about 10+ pounds from being lazy and my eating habits catching up to me so heaviest was 164. i'm now at 150ish and my ultimate goal is to be at 130. it does take much longer for us!!

i've been eating at my bmr and when i exercise i do eat back most of my exercise calories. i've also been doing a bit of strength training not a whole lot but more than i used to!!

mslack01

I'm one of those. I weighed 125 when I started and I weighed 119 last time I weighed. I would like to be at 110. I am 5ft 3inches. Mostly concerned about the belly/butt and I haven't weighed myself since March 1st.

giggitygoo

Oh yes, I'm definitely in this category too. These last few are holding on TIGHT.

I have about 5 more to go, and holey moley it's difficult.

btterry

I'm in the normal weight range now and my goal is 145 and I'm at 151 now. The only reason I'm going lower is that I still hold more
Weight in my stomach area and I have a smaller frame

lk27

Me! I have lost about 7-9 (depending on the day- my weight fluctuates) pounds so far. I want to lose about 7 more. I'm not so concerned with the # though. I want to look good in a bathing suit! I alternate strength and cardio. Feel free to add me!

Homer3D

I am 5'8 and I started out around 189. I wouldn't say I was "overweight".

MFP worked exactly as it stated it would. I was able to lose 1 lb a week on average. But once I hit my goal weight (165lb) I changed the settings to maintain. And so far I bounce back and forth from 165-167. I am actually not trying to lose any more weight. I work out more to tone up my body.

graysmom2005

Meeeee! Holy cow, yes it's hard. I just want to lose 10 more pounds, and short of a miracle it ain't happening!

SusannaTuttaPanna

Me too! I want to lose around 8-10 lbs, but it's difficult for me to eat 1200 calories every day and I think staying under those 1200 calories is the reason why I am not losing weight at all. On days when I work out I try to eat as many calories back but it's not always easy. I'm not sure what to do.. I just keep telling myself it's because my muscles are getting so heavy from all the running ;-)

My recommondation is to crank up the exercise.

sarafit926

Oh hey -- that's me! I've been slightly overweight but lost about 15 pounds in the past three years. I'm trying to lose the last 10 and it's incredibly stubborn; I'm also trying to set PRs for half-marathons and lose body fat, so I know it's not just a scale game.

Feel free to add me!

blgerig

I've lost almost 10 and want to lose 5 more to get down to 135 - think I've stalled with these last 5 to lose! Plan to kick up my exercise as I am training for some summer runs anyway. I also need to focus on getting more quality calories - less from alcohol/ fat/ sugar. It's been hard lately as I have been traveling a lot for work! My diary is open, anyone can feel free to add me!

sc_wildcat1

I have been trying to lose 20 also, the first 10 came off fairly easy. These last 20 are ridiculous, they just won't budge. It doesn't seem to matter how much I exercise or diet either.

TinkrBelz

I would like to lose 5lbs...but it is not a must. I think if I can continue to tone my butt up, I won't care what the scale says. But, it would be fun to stand on it and have it say 5lbs less!!

babareeba

in this boat. trying to loose last 3 kg (about 7 lbs), but... stuck.

guys are naturally lower in body fat. women have essential fat of 10-13%, men 3-5%.

As Eric said. I am a male, so 12% still leaves me with a gut. My stretch goal is 6%.

I know the Lemon on wheels can throw people thru a loop, I will change it one of these days, lol

jac2lyn

Im still trying to lose about 5-8 pounds. Its hard to take the last few off. I know what to do to lose weight and be healthy (im a personal trainer) but it is sooo hard to do it for myself. Im in no way overweight but have vanity pounds that I hate and make me uncomfortable.

You can add me!!
