    I'm 5' exactly and I must say that if I ever got down to 100 pounds I would literally look I was dying. I generally look healthy about 125 and I've never really been able to get to 115 without doing it in a very unhealthy way.

    I'm actually not logging food this month (giving myself a break and a trial to see if I can manage it - so far, all good!)

    HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
    about the 42kg mark (so approx 93pds I think)

    HOW TALL ARE YOU?
    4'10 (147cm)

    WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT?
    Currently exercising at my minimum as we had school holidays until recently. So the last few weeks have been Ripped in 30 DVD 3-4 times a week. Now that school is back, it'll be 2 more weeks of Ripped x3-4 + 3-4km walk x2 + 3-4km run x2, then I will swap the Ripped DVD for a weights routine (NROLFW).

    ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING?
    Maintaining

    HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT?
    HOW MANY CALS DO YOU NET?

    As mentioned above, currently not logging food as a trial. But I do 6:1 which is the maintenance version of 5:2. So I eat roughly TDEE 6 days a week and 500 or less once a week. My BMR is about 1100, and my TDEE is approx 1500-1700 (depending on exercise). I have no issues hitting that or getting above it lol Ice cream anyone?

    I'm still contemplating whether or not to start logging food again in November. If I do, it will be using the TDEE method and not count exercise calories (as that is already factored in). My main aim now is strength and fitness and working up to running my first 10km next year.

    HW - 130? with pregnancies
    last 'normal weight' when I started losing 112. I know to many that doesn't sound like much but I'm small boned.

    Previously I did Combat, loved that program. I've done zumba, a boot camp class and a few other things, then found it just easier to do my beachbody home workouts. I Loved Kick at the gym, and Combat is the same... love. I Do like the shorter time of T25. I'm not that clean of an eater. I do drink Shakeology for breakfast each day.


    I do best when I'm encouraging others, so if anyone is looking for friends, please add me.

    Original poster - I agree that you're Under Eating! You need more girl.

    Trying to lose...again! Actually...trying to make a life style change!!!!!

    Height 5'3 1/2
    Age 44
    HW 198
    LW 98
    CW 187
    GW 110

    Calorie Goal Before exercise: 1200 (To Lose)

    Currently working out at the YMCA. Unfortunately, I have battled my weight my whole life. I gained all this weight over the last 2 1/2 years, after I had worked out hard and got really fit. I know it will take time to loose (again), but I want it to become a life style not another DIET! I want to stay ON THE WAGON! But, now that I am older, I am worried about the "saggy" skin (my skin is soft and saggy skin runs in the family)...any advice on nutrition and exercise that will help minimize this? Regardless I want to loose weight to feel good!

    Do not know if you are a mommy or not but the flat stomach CAN be done. These woman did it after c-sections/pregnancies... (i'm hoping to one day have a flat stomach as well!)

    HOW TALL ARE YOU? 4'2''
    WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT? my weekly goals differ (setting goals keep me on track) however usually at least 4 days a week (boxing 1-3 times a week, and then a mix of cardio and strength training) I am at the point now that i am focusing on toning up so i like to do more strength than cardio. i usually eat back around 1/2 my exercise calories.
    ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING? maintaining
    HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT? Between 1200 and 1450 (i know for maintenance ppl tend to play around with the number of calories they eat however i am comfortable eating at the number i am eating at now and i am guessing my body is comfortable as well because for the past year i have been at or close to goal- i fluctuate daily. )



    Awesome job! You look fantastic.
