How come other people see results in one week?

At 5'2 and 115 pounds what are you hoping to achieve that you'd be able to see in only a week?

Well, most people do not have only a tiny amount of weight to lose. Because you are already so small, .25-.5lbs per week is all you will be able to do. But do not worry, be consistent and accuratr and you will get there.

You are going to gain weight with college. You can't stay high school size forever. I am 5'2" and I weigh 155 lbs. Just try your best and be okay with the results you have. You'll realize later in life that you are NOT as fat as you think you are. In fact, you're going to wish you were this size again one day.

I'm 5'2 and I would KILL, and I mean KILL to be 115. You're at a healthy weight. You simply do not have the fat stores necessary to constitute huge amounts of weight loss. Or even small/medium/large. I wouldn't shoot for more than .5 lbs a week, because an aggressive calorie goal isn't what you need.

If you're looking to have more definition with your body, look into body recomposition instead of a calorie deficit.

You aren't in High School anymore. Your body is turning into a woman. Your body is growing still and changing. You should not be attempting to lose down to your HS weight ever again. Work on building some muscle, but be happy with 115-125 at your height.

I think because people are bigger and they lose more fat and water weight.
But then again your not really that big to begin with, maybe youll lose .5 pounds a week?

I am 5'4 I graduated HS weighing 95 pounds. In one year in college as a double science major I had gained 20 lbs. Your body changes as you grow up.
You also have a VERY tiny amount to lose to it will be very slow.

Ladies on MFP have also noted that the time of the month can play a big role in weight as well. Keep it up for a couple more weeks and then see what the results are. As others have said, you have only a little bit to lose and that's going to come off far slower than it will off of me.

If you REALLY mean you would KILL to be 115, then this is a problem. If you don't mean it, then you should still consider the power that words can have. Using language that intense with regards to weight is not a great indication of a healthy attitude.

Of course I don't mean literally.

ETA; I've been obese all of my adult life. Although I perhaps did not chose the right words, what I mean to say is, I would really love to be a HEALTHY weight. I was trying to emphasize that 115 lbs at 5'2 is a healthy weight and that perhaps she should be happy at that weight... as opposed to unhealthy and obese... like me. I'm sorry if my wording offended anyone.

Here is my experience, I was eating fast food nearly every other day, drinking a starbuck energy coffee drink every morning and a soda in the the afternoon and eating a candy bar in the afternoon (nearly every day). When I got home, I ate crap food and ate candy before bed - you can go ahead and say it, unhealthy much? I ballooned to 258, the heaviest I have every been even though all year, I worked in construction every weekend, probably burning 1000's of calories but I was sedentary the rest of the week.

I started logging here and stopped fast food, energy drinks, soda and candy, cold turkey. I the first week, I lost 10 lbs, the following week I lost none and I have been averaging about 3.6 over 8 weeks.

My point, I was severely overweight for me, I was eating very poorly, the weight fell off so quickly b/c I had the weight to lose. You sound like you have a small frame and you only weigh 115, you are probably close to your optimal weight, it's harder to lose when you are near your optimal weight.

Don't be discouraged by comparing yourself to others, if you log your food, keep your calories in check, exercise, you are getting more healthy, your weight loss will come but it will come in fractions of lbs, not full measures.

I am not a dr and have no formal training, this is just my opinion and I may be dead wrong. You may want to seek out a trainer or dietician who can help you determine what you should be doing and if you should be doing it.

Good luck on your journey.

It's normal to be a little heavier as you mature, nothing wrong with that. Instead of focusing on weight loss I'd recommend focusing on body composition. Do some strength training, eat at a VERY small deficit or at maintenance (since you're close to underweight) and eat a lot of protein to retain your muscle.

I wasn't offended, but I do think it's worthwhile to consider our words thoughtfully. What we make a habit of saying can begin to come out without us being fully aware of the impact of our words on ourselves and those around us.

I just wanted to point that out. :flowerforyou:

I'm 19 5'2 115lbs 1200-1300 cals and working out with T25. I never "cheated" in my eating. I weighed and measured myself today and nothing has changed.

I just don't get why other people get results as fast as one week while others don't like me

You have very little in the way of fat stores at that weight and those stats. People who drop Lbs in a week are overweight...you are not overweight...you need to get some more realistic expectations.

Dont worry, I understand thats just a saying and didnt mean it literally.. You didnt really need to apologize.

I'm REALLY not sure what strength training I should do. Body weight exercises you mean? Or with resistance? I can only workout at home with 5lbs dumbbells. Not sure if I should get heavier ones but 5lbs seem pretty ok to me because after a few reps, I can feel the burn already ) well with arm exercises tho.

Do you have access to a gym? If you do, get Starting Strength, Stronglifts, or New Rules of Lifting for Women. Read and follow the instructions.

If you don't, get You Are Your Own Gym-- it's body weight. The important thing is to get a program with progressive overload. You should be adding more resistance over time.
