    What's the weight you've been lifting? I'm 5'5 too :) and i've been steadily increasing my weights. I've just started lifting 200lbs for deadlifts.

    As for how much more you have to lose - its all relative. The more lean body mass you gain, the denser (and therefore heavier) you are, than someone else the same size with.

    You're much better off going by your body fat % and taking measurements :)

    I don't lift that much yet! LOL! That's awesome!

    I'm a pretty small person so I probably could lose just a few more pounds.

    My body fat % is 19. I had it done at the gym.

    How many calories are you eating? May be helpful if you open your diary.

    And you are doing weights 5 days a week? I would cut that down to 3 days a week. You need to have rest days in between strength training for your muscle to recover. I would also cut down on cardio, especially on days that you are strength training. I personally prefer HIIT workout to get maximum burn for the time.

    I probably eat around 1700 to maintain but I think I need to lose a few more lbs so will probably drop to 1400. :I just joined so haven't added to diary. Will start today:)

    Yes, I do weights 5 days a week but not same muscles. What is HIIT workout?

    Belly fat won't go away with exercise alone. Most of it's diet. Clean eating helps, too.

    hmmm! That may be true in my case. What do you mean by clean eating? I eat fairly well but do have a little sugar everyday and I do drink alcohol a few times a week.

    I just realized I may sound like a lush! LOL! When I say I drink a few times a week. I mean I might have 1 or may 2 glasses of wine once or twice a week.
