    I'm 5'4" and currently 116 - which is where I am fine being from a pounds perspective. What I'm working on is toning up and losing body fat. I have no idea what mine actually is but based on the online calculators using inches, it's in the 24-26% range. Would love to get down to at least the 20-22% range. No pictures to share though, way too self conscious for that.

    super inspirational! I'm 5'3 and currently at 153 with a goal of 130 or less... we'll see!

    We are twins! I'm 152 lbs hoping to get down to 130. How old are you? :)

    I love this thread!

    I am 5'2" and right now around 143. My goal weight is somewhere between 110-120! I feel like 110 is just a dream, but we'll see! Right now I feel completely chunky and self-conscious in pictures, etc.

    Those of you who have gotten down to 118 and below -- what did you do to get there?

    This is me at 142lb. I have been at this weight for two years...I'm stuck! I want to get to like 130-135. I'll be happy if my hips will shrink. I have done insanity and still supplement with it. I just ordered turbo fire and hip hop abs to hopefully help me and give me more of a variety. My major issue is that i have no will power when it comes to sweets! Like I know if I could just toss all the crap like that I would be dropping lbs. So what do you all do to where you don't have that problem?

    I have the same problem with sweets! To satisfy my cravings, sometimes I will make "frozen chocolate bananas" or even slice bananas and put little chocolate morsels on them, put them in the microwave for 20 seconds and they are deliciousss..my 2 year old son loves them too. Fast, easy and healthy especially if you're using dark chocolate.
    Another alternative is to add some ingredients to your protein shakes...there are a ton of recipes on another thread here for recipes.
    Good luck!

    Hi All!,

    Looking for some advice on here! I am 5'3.5" and currently weigh about 123-125 pounds. I have lost about 20 pounds in the past 2 in a half years and my lowest I had gotten to was 113-115, which was not too long ago, summer 2013. So I have recently gained about 10 pounds, that came out of no where. I have gained inches in my hips and thighs (my problem areas), I am doing insanity currently finishing my third week and I havent seen any changes this time around like I did the first time I did insanity. I want to get back to my goal weight of 113, and more importantly fit back into my pants again. Everything is so much tighter!!

    Any suggestions on what could help me lose weight and inches and look skinnier?

    Thanks!

    I'm 5'3 1/2 and I'm shooting for 115-125 lbs. I'm currently 169, so I have a little ways to go, to keep myself motivated, I set up short term goals - my next short term goal is 150. :smile:

    I am 45 years old and 5'3 1/2, I started in Jan. 2013 at 165 pounds. I started the 1200 calorie diet eating healthy grains, ground turkey, fruits and veggies. I also worked out on the elliptical each evening, did Richard Simmons videos, or walked. I was down to 115 pounds by September. However, I felt I was too thin at that weight. My face starting "sinking in" and I didn't look healthy. So, I gained back 5 pounds since December. It was hard to do because I was so focused on my diet it felt strange going over calories. Now I weigh 120 and look much better (for me).

    I've so enjoyed reading these.

    I'm 5'2.5", 151 pounds. I want to be 110-120 (depends on what I look like when I get close to 120)

    I've been struggling for years to get into the right groove to lose the weight. I'm getting a lot closer now. Was 156 right after the holidays, so lost about 5 pounds since then. But I have a problem with eating too much on the weekends that I'm trying to work on.

    Hi Ladies,

    This is a new attempt for me. I started Friday at 177.8 and am now 173.7 and am working to get down to 125. I'm 46 but trying not to use that as an excuse! Thank you for all of your postings. I am replacing the words "hoping to get to" with "working to get to". Please friend me if you'd like. Have a great day!

    My profile has pictures of me pre-baby (I'm due in a week) when I was at 115 pounds. I'm 5'4 and will be working to get back to that so if anyone wants to add me feel free! *I'm not very muscular at this weight, just fyi.

    I am 5'2 and at my goal weight I was at 125 - a 60lb loss that took a little over 2 years. I now fluctuate closer to 130 but am happy where I am as I am at 23% body fat, feel great and my clothes still fit the same. I run 5-6 days a week and workout in the gym usually twice a week and try to fit in one more strength workout at home. I do work from home so that makes it easier to fit my run in around meetings, etc. I also have a new running buddy who gets me out door every day :happy:
