5ft 6 females??

panicmonkey · April 2013

Hi everyone,

I'm 5'6" and am tired of constantly feeling like I want to lose 10-15 pounds. In 2009, I got married and got donw to 128. Since then, I've gained weight and have stayed pretty closely between 140-146. I do boxing a few days a week and walk a lot every day and try to eat a diet of moderation. I have done four hour body and slow carb diet before and dropped pounds quickly but eventually missed carbs too much and gave it up. I also really need to lose body fat %. According my scale I am around 30-32 % body fat. Even though I feel like I don't look it, I feel fat especially compared to my friends. What are you ladies ACTUALLY eating and doing to lose your weight? It's inspiring to hear from a group.

Thanks!

I am 5'6 and started at 165 (although looking at pics from last summer I believe I was closer to 170/ 175). Currently I am at 131.5 lbs and have changed my goal to 125 lbs

I NEVER thought I'd get as low as 135 even but this site is awesome so I have exceeded my original goals

I am close to my new goal weight now but if anyone wants to add me then you are welcome to

I log on everyday.

Hi, I'm also 5'6" but I am 64 and finding loosing a weight a much bigger challenge now . Last year I just cut back , started choosing healthier foods and primarily started moving. As a result I lost 40 lbs. I was30 lbs from goal. Over the past 4 months.I over did it with the exercise and developed knee issues that prevented me from exercising the way I wanted too and gradually started eating more and as a result I gained 10 lbs. back. But I am not going to let that stop me from getting back on track. I started just 2 days ago with MFP and can now start gradually working out again also. I weighed in 2 days ago at 193. A little disappointed that todays weight was 194.5 so I'm not going to weigh myself for another few days. I plan to give myself a full week before I check again. Hopefully this year I will reach my goal!:flowerforyou:

I am also 5'6", CW 125, but I'm skinny fat & I'm here to shape my body with muscles & get stronger. You can add me as a friend if you like to see how I do it. My diary is completely open so you can see what I eat. I am currently doing a round of insanity & going to start lifting 3 days a week for 45 min too. Have a good day!

I am 5"6, 55 y.o. and starting over AGAIN.

CW: 220
GW: 170

Got myself in a pretty good place by last spring and then let myself go. I know I can get back to where I was and even better. MFP is so helpful. The journey is tough and more difficult with some age on me now. Trying to make changes in my food intake and exercise habits.
Wishing all continued success...even me.

Hi I am just starting but i am right where you are coming from! Congrats, you have done well!

funnygirlt · April 2013

wow, your stats are almost the same as mine, including the weight that I am at now, and where I want to end up. This has been a really bad week for eating and exercising. I am craving pizza and buttered popcorn almost every night, and a protein shake just isn't the same. Damn, damn, damn...
