    Bump. I am also 5'5", and can get to 145, where I get Stuck. For years now. V. frustrating. I'm up for new ideas. Or old ideas to try again. Or bad ideas. Or vague suggestions. Or magic tricks. Anything that might work, really. I'm just about ready to buy diet pills off the radio.

    LOL!! I've even looked into the alternate fast day....:)

    Hey there. I'm 5'5 and I have 4 more pounds to lose to reach my goal of 132. I'm currently losing about half a pound a week.

    My calorie target is 1200 and at first I lost weight fairly easily. Once I reached the '10 pounds to lose' point, I started calorie cycling - eating more one day (say, 1500 calories), then back to 1200 or just below it the next day. I haven't changed what I eat or my type or level of exercise, so I think it's the cycling that's keeping my body guessing and helping me lose the last pounds. I've read how other people on MFP have used it to help break through a plateau, so it might be worth trying?

    This is definately something I will have to try!!
