  • When Losing weight your body goes through a strange process and it can be different for everyone. First you should know that fat is the lightest part of your body. Bones and muscle are heavier. If you have an even mix of cardio and strength ( weight training) you may actually see yourself gain weight because you are building more muscle. I think if you want to focus on true weight loss put 90% of your exercise in to cardio to burn fat.

    i am also 5.2 ft and i started at 142 Last October. I am currently 120. like i said before it is slow, especially when you are short and not a whole bunch to lose like us.... I am so glad i stuck with it and i have lost what i have. sure it would of been nice to lose more faster and hit my goal quicker but regardless, i am where i am from not giving up :) I have my ups and down and i hit stall all the time, i just finished a 2.5 month stall... i hope i am finally out of that.

    Since July I have lost 30 pounds and am over halfway to my goal weight. In the mirror I can't see a difference but I have to hold my pants up with safety pins. (I sure as heck didn't see 3 lbs ) Take it easy.
