Petite girls (5'0-5'4) struggling with those last 10 pounds

Spindigo1

I've found that my weight stays the same +/- 2lbs for about a month and then it suddenly drops 3lbs and does the same thing all over again. I have about 10lbs I want to lose and it's for sure going slow. But slow loss means easier to maintain loss, right?? I mean, a year from now we're gonna be way hotter than we are today. We can be patient!

I am 5'1" and 115lbs give or take.
My goal weight is 105ish. I'll see how I feel when the time comes.
I eat 1200+exercise calories.

I was seeing the exact 115.6lbs everyday for about 2 months.
I increased my water intake and reduced sodium (under 2500mg). Also changing your workout routine is important. I started doing gym classes where they switch it up for you instead of my cardio and weight routine. As well as adding in 20 minutes of 30DS before or after the class.
And for the first time in 2 months I saw 114.2!

Feel free to add me, I keep my diary open, and would like to see others as well.

I'm 5'3", current weight is 121 lbs. My goal weight is 112 - 110 lbs.
I've only been on MFP for like a week or two. But I seem to have gained more weight since I started working out (about a few months ago) I've been swimming, doing yoga and recently just joined the gym. But the more I exercise, the more I get heavier. I have noticed that I've become leaner somehow though. I eat around 1200 calories a day although I've already had a few bad days but I stay on the 1200 on most days. I'm starting to get very frustrated although I know it's probably the muscles that are making me heavy, but I was at 118 lbs before I started exercising and my eating habits are pretty much the same. I hope that I get down to 115 at the very least.

I'm trying to lose those last few pounds, too. I'm 5'2. It seems like I'm so close, but these last 10 lbs just love me too much. I've been hanging around 120 lbs and would like to be closer to 110 and have a flatter stomach.
