15 pounds to lose -- girls in the 130's

Freedom of speech? What's that? Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. personalfit, you can totally tell other people what to say... NOT. That's ok... I'm hitting "ignore" and you can preach all you like. But not to me. :P

I'm 131 as of this morning and 5'5. My goal is 105-110. It's hard to get motovated when I don't feel huge and am still w/in my normal, healthy weight range!

I definitely feel this as well. It is so hard to stay motivated, or even feel like I am seeing a difference for that matter. I think we all need people in our corner, even if it's just people "liking" that you worked out that day it can make you feel a little happier.

Oh god there are other people out there in the same boat as me, THANK GOD. I have grown up around bigger girls and when ever I try and loos that 5 10 20 bls I have put on or even just try and get off he junk food I dont get any support. I get negitive feed back like you dont have anything to loss or go eat a cook.
I have horrible eating habits and usually can only stay motivated for about 2 - 5 weeks then I am off the wagon again. Please keep me motivated ppl and slap the coke out of my hand!

I am 5'1 and 132 lbs. So far I have lost 21 lbs with MFP. Would like to go down to at least 120. The last few mths have been a real struggle. Could use the support also!! Add me

I'm in the same situation right now. I used to be 145 but i went on a diet. After thirty days i was 132lb. Now im back on my diet to get to the 120s. I've found that it's easier to lose when I eat a different amount of calories on each day. For example, 900cals ton monday. Then go a little less on tuesday. Then bring it up on Wensdays to the same amount as mondays. Thursdays should be your highest week day by going past 1000 but staying under 1200. then bring it fifty lower on fridays. And finally, eat 1100-1200 on weekends. I'm just making an example so 900cals is probably too low. As for eating out of boredom, try drinking tea/decaf coffee. Hot drinks fill u up. Just don't add sugar or it'll count as calories. But you should also try to drink one cup of water before each meal. It helps fill u up before u eat. One thing i did after each meal was drink a cup of green tea 30mins to 1hr after eating. It boosts your metab and helps all the extra weight flush out. Also try to drink at least eight cups of water a day. If you dislike the taste of water, then try putting lemon juice in it to add a bit of flavor. I also counted my green tea as water because i didn't add sugar. Other than that, you can really eat what u want. Just be mindful of fat. The amount of fat in a food will up the calories. Also, try counting how much you chew per bite. The more u chew, the fuller you get. It tricks the brain lol. Try chewing on ice if you're still hungry. I hear that works. And finally! Try to get in 1hr of cardio three times a week. If you wanna drop the weight faster, add strength training to it. I know what you're thinking. Strength training bulks u up and muscle weighs more than fat. However, if you do low weight and high reps you'll tone your muscle and burn the fat. It helps drop your weight faster. So, for example, instead of lifting something that's 100lb ten times in a row, lift something 10lb a hundred times in a row. That's all i know. sorry for rambling and i hope this helps (ps im 5ft 3in.)

I'd just like to add that I have got to my current state of hotness by eating

ALL THE FOOODZ

and Mojitos, and spaghetti bolognese, and ice cream, pizza, chips, crisps, chocolate, wine, wine, wine, cheese, mmmmmm

Glad to see that there are many in the same boat! I'm almost 5'7", currently 129, trying to get down to about 123 or so (or whatever weight where my clothes fit the way I want them to!)

Feel free to add me.

Me!! I'm a tad bit bigger lol.. I have an almost 3 month old so I have baby weight to lose. I'm 5'2 and 144 now. Looking to lose 20 lbs but I did it with my 2 year old so I know I can this time too. Add me... please

I tried keto for 3 weeks and never lost an ounce!! I was very strict, even bought the keto sticks and I had large amounts of ketones in my urine. Never cheated even once. Any advice? How long did it take you to start losing weight?

I actually lost 6 pounds the first week, obviously some water weight there when I got rid of all the glycogen in my system...but after that it was about 2-3 pounds pretty consistently each week until i hit 140...been a bit tougher lately, I'm losing about a half pound a week if that but I also started doing a lot more dairy and exercise stuff. What all were you eating? Like I didnt eat fruits or any veggies that were higher in sugar content when I was being super strict.

I was eating eggs, bacon, salads with oil and vinegar dressing I made(no sugar), veggies(no starchy ones), meat, and coconut bread that I made with coconut flour, eggs and oil. Didn't eat any fruit. I'm sure my carbs were low enough, like I said I had ketones in my urine. I just wonder if I was eating too many calories? I did not count my calories. I'm thinking about trying it again and try eating less food. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
