    5'0"

    Heaviest weight- 150 lbs at 9 months pregnant

    Lightest weight- 105 in August 2013 before last pregnancy

    Current weight- 129

    Goal weight- 105-110

    Hi! I'm new too. I hike with my kids & pup, hoop, kettlebell swings at home, walk my dog twice a day, and finishing week 1 of Keto. Previously ate a mostly primal diet, with cheat days of grains here & there.

    I gave myself the last 18 months to breastfeed my baby without worrying about weight loss, & naturally lost about 14 lbs without trying. Another 7 lbs down total in the last month, & hoping to maintain my progress, & be at least 120 lbs by summer.

    Age: 28 (in a few days!)

    Height: 5'3" and a half

    Lowest Weight: 101 as an adult, immediately after my first and last hot yoga session ... lol

    Heaviest Weight: 127, after copying my boyfriend's bad eating & drinking habits

    Current Weight: 122.1

    Goal Weight: 108 - 110, with muscle!

    I am currently using MFP and have it set to 1500 calories a day, which is basically maintenance for my current weight. I found it too discouraging to set it at 1200 ... I constantly felt deprived and would "fail" every day and go over 1200. Now I just know that I absolutely can't go over 1500 (unless I've already planned it and made up for it with cardio), and that if I do, I will GAIN weight. I'm usually hovering between 1200 and 1400 calories a day, and that's been working great and I've been losing at a steady pace! I just need to figure out how and what to do for strength training.

    Even if you're not exactly my twin, I'd love to have some MFP friends! :) Feel free to add me!

    I think I'm your twin!!!!!

    5'3.5"
    HW: 130
    CW: 119
    GW: 115
    CBF: 23%
    GBF: 20%

    I eat around 1800-2000 calories per day...I literally CANT get to 1200, especially with exercise. It's impossible. I work out at least 5 times per week, whether with a trainer or playing tennis, etc.!!

    My current struggle is super easy, on the go foods. I'm a grazer and can't seem to avoid carbs, even if they are unprocessed (fruit, in particular). Or healthy fats (I overdo the avocado and olive oil :(...). I'd love to hear your diet plan, because I'm in a rut!!!!!

    I'm currently eating around 1800-1900 cals a day, focusing on protein and healthy carbs. (This has been working for me better than focusing on 1200 cals)
    I try to work out at least 5 days/week

    Is there a way to search only this discussion thread? I'd like to find my twin(s) and make some MFP friends :smiley:

    Oh! I figured it out. Put this in your address bar:

    site:community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/766743/find-your-not-that-heavy-twin/ 5'0

    Make sure to put a space after the / at the end, then type your keyword. This will only search this discussion thread for whatever search term you put in at the end.

    You are all younger than me, but our goals and height are nearly the same :smiley:

    I might have a twin too. Let's see!

    I'm 27 years old
    5'8


    Heaviest weight- 175-ish lbs (size 8)
    Current weight- 158 lbs (size 4 and 6)
    Goal weight- I have a goal size (measurements), not really weight, but I guess 125 lbs sounds good

    I am 5'4''
    Heaviest: 167
    Current: 134
    Goal: 127....but really it might be more or less. I'd like my upper thighs and butt to look better and focus on measurements more. Seriously, it's not pretty. I should do more squats.

    Actually when I was young... I was 5'6" and my best weight was 117.

    Your weight and height are much like me now. Heaviest 160... Current 140 ... goal 127.

    I made an unbreakable rule about a month ago... that I absolutely MUST do hard. strenuous, out of breath exercise 30 minutes day EVERY day ..come hell or high water..

    It's made a difference.... so has journaling food intake...

    I take boxing lessons... 2 times a week... I love it... I can only go 3 rounds..
    (one round last 3 minutes.... you get 1 minute between rounds.. ) then we go outside and I try to outrun the professional boxer.. sprinting... whew!

    I do exercise classes ... called "the metabolic effect" ... 2 times a week... 30 minutes.. very tough class.

    The rest of the days I either lift weights for an hour.... or I try to jog at least 2 miles.

    The best butt I ever had was when I lived in a 3rd story apartment

    CW: 129

    height: 5'3

    I do work out, so even though I'm only 6 pounds away from my highest weight, I do have a better body composition than I did at that time. I usually wear a size 4-6. I want to tone, and lose some weight so the toning is more visible.

    I want to lose weight and hopefully lose some belly flat as well so that I can swim faster before the season is over (yes, I did feel like I was sinking when I was 124 lbs after winter break). Spring break is next week though... uh-oh :#

    Just joined 2 weeks ago! Add me cuz I need motivation!!!
