Women with goal weight around 115 !!

OMG! I thought I was the only person dealing with this. I am trying to get down to 120 lbs. I am 4'11....if I was to drop to 110 to 115 lbs., I would like a kid. I spoke to a nutrinitionist and she told me to continue to do cardio and pilates. Funny thing for me about this weight loss journey is I desperately wanted to lose my thighs and instead I lost my chest. I was not Dolly Parton to begin with but I had something there. Now, I could easily borrow my kid's training bra.

I'm 5'5 1/2 and126ilbs trying to get to 112. I hold all of my weight on my stomach and sides =( I think this is deffiantley the last place for most woman to lose the fat =( ive lost inches off everywhere including my waist but my lower stomach hasnt really changed much =(

Haha to the Dolly Parton comment I wish i could lose my boobs! Out of everything I have lost my boobs are the one thing I can't get rid of!

I am the same height as you and know exactly what most everyone is saying with being short it shows so much more on us then with taller people. At my current weight now I am considered overweight even though most people look at me and think I weigh less than what the scale says I do. I know I have a long way to go to that goal weight which has been my goal for over 5 years now! I got close to it in 2009 was down to about 119, but never could get lower than that! When I was that weight I felt so great about myself everything was fitting so loose in my closet and i had to go out and get smaller size clothes which made me feel that much better. Right now I am looking to lose about 10-12 lbs before my birthday (Sept. 14th) then continue to move down until I reach 115. I know its going to take awhile but hopefully I will be able to reach it by Dec 2012! The thunder thighs seem to be my most problem area but I do love doing leg workouts so I will continue to hit it hard on leg day!

Oh my gosh, all of y'alls post are crazy inspiration for me! I am 5' 3" and I thought 130 was going to be pushing it. But ya'll have made me realize I can get smaller! Ya'll are all beautiful and thanks for the inspiration I just recieved!

May sound crazy but seriously!

Weight always looks different on a person!! My original goal was 105. Then I upped it to 110, then my husband said no way in he**! We agreed on 115, but he would rather me be at 125. He says it looks better!

I think it really depends on your frame. I looked really awkward when I was 110-115. and looking back at pictures as I gradually gained, I thought I looked most womanly and healthy at about 120-125. I'm 5'6" though, so compared to someone 3+ inches shorter than me that could flex 5-20 lbs than my goal.

5'5'' and 134 lbs at the moment. Cannot seem to get below 130 whatever I do. I was aiming for 125 (with building some muscle) but I don't think I'll be happy there really. We shall see.


does anyone mind sharing their calorie level / exercise plans with me so I can see how you have gotten under 130?

In the past I have never been able to get much below 130 (I'm only 5'2" though) but I recently went off birth control (DH got the big V) and I swear the weight started falling off. Now I'm at 123. Never thought I'd be that weight again! I still have plenty of fat on my thighs though, so I'm hoping to either lose a few more pounds or stay at this weight and gain muscle but burn fat.

I think genetics have to do so much with where you carry weight. Mine comes right off my tummy but I've had curvy hips and big thighs since I was a little girl!

I am 5'2 and I hit my goal weight of 115 last week. My stomach looks pretty good under clothes and I have had 3 kids (see my profile pic) but it is loose if I bend over, so I wouldn't feel comfy in a bikini. I have adjusted my goal to try to lose a few more pounds to see if that improves things. I will still be a healthy bmi and I can always put those pounds back on if I am too gaunt. I have ordered Jillian michaels 6 week 6 pack, so hopefully that will help!

Good luck and good work so far!

That has more to do with your body composition than weight. I suggest working on your body composition and lowering body fat percentage.

I'd love it if someone would design clothing for females who don't have flat, washboard abs! Why does everything cute have to be fitted or have elastic around the bottom so as to accentuate the slight pooch! Just a slight flare would do it - it doesn't have to look like a maternity top!
