HI this is similar to me. i am 5'3, 136LB, my goal weight is 122lb. Once i reach this weight i will see how i feel to see if i need to push for any more weight loss. In a week i do an hour at the gym including cardio and stregth, and an aqua aerobics class for an hour. On the other days i try to fit in abit of walking, abs work and dvd work outs, but struggling with the dvd bit at the minute.
Please feel free to add me0 -
Hi! I'm 5'3" tall and weighed 137 lbs the first week of January. I started a transformation challenge about 10 weeks ago; actually started watching my calories and working out about a week prior to that though. I am now down to 117 lbs. and my body fat has dropped from 26% to 20%. I'm hoping to get that in the teens and my new goal weight is 115. My workouts consisted at first of 45 min of cardio and 30 min of weight lifting alternating upper and lower body workouts for 6 days a week. I now do cardio for about an hour and weight lifting for 30-45 min depending on how many sets/reps I do. I really focused on cutting out processed foods, eating more fruits and veggies and adding more protein to my diet. I'll try to post some before and 8 wks progress photos under my profile. Feel free to add me as a friend!0

Hi, I am also trying to cut the weight. I am 5'4'' and weigh about 139 lbs. After hitting my mid-thirties, it seems like the weight doesn't want to drop and creeps up. I have completed Turbofire and Insanity and just started using my MFP to try and keep track of my protein and calories and hold me accountable for the sweet snacking. Week one has so far been successful. No cheating! I am trying to find that workout combination that finally takes me from 139 to 125 by summer. I have added strenth training, with no more tha 10 pounds since that is the heaviest hand weight I have at home. I am thinking about increasing that to try to get more definition. My question for weight training - higher weight or higher reps? Really want to tone and be cut for summer, but need to drop a good 10 pounds to start seeing the definition I think. I have been trying to do a mix of all my video workouts, elliptical and strength. Would love some input on losing 15 pounds and keeping it off. Haven't gone below 134 since before my kids in my early 20's. Beginning to think it's not possible

I am 5'4 and started weighing in at 157.5 now I am bouncing around 153. My goal is to reach 125 by the summer, i know my goal is a little higher than some of you but I would love the support!
I have pretty much the same measurements! I would love to get down to low 120s by the summer as well. I just started but I know we can do it

IN the same boat as most of you 5'3" at 137lb currently and trying to get down to 120lbs. Run 3 times a week and do circuit training or Julian Michale dvds on the other days . trying to stick to 1200 calories a day and eat as clean as possible. Please feel free to friend me.0

This sounds alot like my situation too! I have always weighed around 123. Somehow I let myself get up to 150 and now I know how hard it is to lose. I am now around 145 and really want to be 125 by June 16th...that gives me 13 weeks to lose 20 pounds. Even if I lose just the 13, that would be ok with me for now. That would bring me down to 132 and give me the rest of the summer to bump up my workout regimen. So lets go girls...we can do it...lets root eachother on! Lets Dot It!!0

Well girls, I started on MFP around January 14th. As I mentioned before, I am 5'7. I started out around 150, and as of this morning I weighed in at 135. I call that progress! I am hoping I can lose ten more pounds before summer gets here so I can (finally) look smoking hot in a bikini
I was wondering, however, if any of you are pear shaped. The problem with weight loss for me is that I begin to look anorexic on my top half (collar bone protruding, etc.) but from the stomach down I still look chunky! This is something I've always had to deal with, but I was just wondering if any of you have the same issue.0 -

I am the same!!! 5'7 started at 142, and am at 131 right now, looking to get to 125, but my boobs keep shrinking and my collarbone is protruding but I still have a bit of a belly and my legs well fit seem to be the same size as they were at 142! I am hoping that I just lose weight in my upper body first and these last 6 lbs will come off the tummy and legs

i am similar....
135 (give or take)
current bf% 20
would love to be 125-128
practice vinyasa yoga almost daily (teach as well)
walk 2-3 miles (hills) 5x a week
eating all over the place and weight just bounces.... so frustrating! usually eat anywhere from 1100-1700 on any given day.
i am 43
would love to just drop this extra fat!0 -
Wow ladies, it's amazing how many people are in the same boat. Add another one! :-)
I too, am 34 and been fluctuating right now between 145-140. At my heaviest I was 160 so I've come a long way for myself but have been struggling the past few months. I'm 5'4" and would be happy at 130 honestly. 125 would be ideal but I want to get myself more on a healthy scale first rather than the weigh scale. I work out religiously but I too am a person who prefers her cardio (running, zumba, insanity) to weight training. I don't know why!
I'm very self conscious about my mid section. It's the only part of my body I don't like as I'm sure many of you can relate. I hide it under big clothes because of how self conscious I am. My friends all yell at me but it's so hard to overcome your own perception rather than listening to others. :-(
Food is mostly my enemy. I love it! Don't we all. I was always told my eyes are bigger than my stomach. I'm trying to drink 2 glasses of water before I eat to help the portion distortion at least. It does wonders. But I'm not sure if that's all I need to reduce the belly fat.
I'm on Pinterest like it's my job pinning all kinds of exercises and routines but it would almost be better to know exactly which ones will help me with the torso area.
Any advice and support is appreciated ladies. Thanks for reading.0 -
I'm 136 and am hope for something around 120. I'd be glad to have a partner in crime!0
