Also what weight do you think is healthy for your bone structure and build ?? : ) I'm trying to get to 130ish to feel more normal again, for myself 120lbs seems difficult (the lowest I've ever weighed was 117??) and 125lb is a more maintainable realistic weight ! I was 150lbs before.

Also so far I've haven't done ANY exercise (the idea of running makes me tired! I could swim laps if it's breast stroke so that is an option I am considering!) , just ate normally again - it's still a long transitional struggle. I gained 30lbs from binge eating and depression and I'm going to by first Zumba class tomorrow : )

    Unfortunatey 5'2 looking to lose 90 lbs, averaging 1.5 lbs a week so far. For me it's always been strength traing that makes the difference- The firm or jillian michaels, they mix strength and cardio.. Cardio (for me never helps) i gain the weight right back.

    I admire your determination to work out ! I get tired so easily and end up never exercising, I'm trying really hard. It's difficult since I have a larger bone structure compared to my entire family (all very petite etc) so weight really shows on my frame !

    I'm a little taller, 5'6", but I'm working on losing 30lbs as well. Smaller goals for smaller boned girls, you know?

    Hi, I'm 5ft 3in and weigh154lb - 70 kgs (from New Zealand). Can you give me some advice please as you have been successful in loosing the lbs. I have stuck to my calorie goal of 1200, haven't cheated and doing 3 good brisk walks a week. I haven't really lost any weight so am pretty frustrated. I have made my food diary available to friends (if I've done right on the settings). I'm not sure what else I need to do to get things moving. I did weight watchers years ago and lost at least 1lb or more a week and ate more than 1200 cal.

    I'm 5'3", as well. I'm going to lose at least 20-25 lbs, maybe more! :) I like to walk, but I don't have anyone to walk with, except my son and my dogs. And the stray cats. lol.

    I'm 5'4" and I remember what I felt like at around 140-150lbs, so that's my ultimate goal. Right now my goal is 25-30 before Feb 6th, and I'm probably about 18 down as of today.
