Young Athletic women 5'2ISH and 110-125lbs who actually eat

I'm 25, am 5'7'' and weight 135 lbs. I'm not necessarily looking to lose weight, but rather lean down just a little and gain more muscle (which in the end might result in weight gain). As for platueing, it's a real problem. I was 120 lbs in high school, but slowly gained 15 pounds in my early 20s (not the 'freshman 15,' but rather my body developing and getting more 'womany,' haha). I've never been able to lose more than 5 lbs of that weight, but neither have I gained weight. Staying full is tough, and I too fatigue when I don't get enough calories (which for me is just under 2000 a day). Sorry that wasn't much help... but you aren't alone!

All of this is pre-pregnancy... I'm 35 weeks preggers at the mo! :-)

I'm 5'3, and was usually around the 125lb mark. My profile pic is me pre-pregnancy.

Tbh I didn't massively count calories, but I'd have a high protein breakfast (normally protein shake, 250cal), snack (150cal), chicken salad for lunch (300, homemade no dressing), fruit for snack, then a home cooked dinner and most nights a bit of a pudding :-)

I was at the gym 2/3 times a week, loving a bit of HiiT or circuit work! :-) I didn't eat a low calorie diet, I was just mindful of what I ate... If that makes any sense?

Nowadays I'm 151lbs with 5 weeks of pregnancy to go! :-)

Height: 5' 1"
age:36
starting weight: 136
current weight: 122
goal weight: 115

I do the 30-Day Shred five times a week. Sometimes I do other things in addition to that. I told MFP that I was only going to work out 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, so it gave me a net calorie goal of 1200 calories. I wear the Fitbit One, and that is how I track my calorie burn. I'm currently nursing a 13-month-old and not counting those calories, so that probably helps, but I would totally cheat if I didn't eat my "exercise calories". I end up too hungry. I also find that coconut milk or oil helps my metabolism. It is also my "I'm really craving something creamy and sweet" snack. I want to lose weight, but I guess I don't care if the number decreases as long as I can fit back into those size 1 jeans I wore after child #2 when I was dishwashing in a local restaurant. By the way, I'm breastfeeding baby #4, my girl after 3 boys. Anyone, or all of you, can add me. :-)

I have some similar stats:
Age 36
SW 130
CW 122
GW 115-118 ish

Those last 5 or so pounds are really a b**** at our height, huh?! I've been at a REAL plateau for about 3 months, but a few weeks ago I tore my calf at a Step Aerobics instructor training and have been forced to take a break with the cardio. It's really hard because I love the way a good cardio session makes me feel, and I love having those 300-400 extra calories to eat! I love food!! BUT, since my injury I've been doing weightlifting with upper body only (because I can't stay home and do nothing...lol) and cut my calories and my carbs, focusing on trying to eat tons of protein and veggies, and I think I might be busting through this plateau! The scale moved for the first time in months and my body looks leaner and more defined, even though I'm barely working out! Sometimes I think an exercise break and a big switch-up in your diet can actually help more than months and months of working out like crazy and being "pretty careful" with calorie counting. Just my personal experience... good luck to all you fellow shorties, I might FR some of you!
