I'm 5'2 and weigh 153, I'm trying to get down to 130. I've done it before..I lose I gain I lose I gain so here we go again. The way I do it is cut wayyy back on my calorie intake. Once you get used to it you don't get as hungry all the time. If I work out I work hard so my metabolism spikes, that's when I don't watch my calories too hard but I stay high protein regardless.0

Hey there, very new here. I' m5ft2 and about 184ish. I want to lose about 40-50 lbs! My plan is to track my calories and walk 3.9kms to work 3x a week to start. Add me as a friend if you want as I have none yet!0

I'm 5 feet tall and started at 172 lbs. Have lost 4 lbs. so far since January 3. Good to meet other shorties like myself. I am 61 and the pounds don't come off as easily as they did when I was much younger!0

Hello! I'm 5'2" and about 5 years ago I was at 210-215. Since, I've lost about 75 lbs. I think I've managed to keep it off for so long because it was a long, slow process. In the beginning I was dead set on getting to my goal weight, but once I lost the first 40, life happened. I would lose 20, gain 10, maintain for months, gain, lose, yadda yadda. I'm around 133 now, and have decided to focus this year on health and fitness instead of weight, though I do hope to lose a little bit more!0

Perhaps eating at a reasonable deficit instead of "cutting wayyy back" will help you stick with it! Figure out your TDEE (mine is about 1750 and we have similar stats) and eat about 15-20% under. It'll be SO MUCH easier to stick to so you'll face less of a yo-yo
I'm a runner and (5'2", started at 150, down 10lbs) eat at 1400 a day with one or two days a week closer to maintenance calories. I've done the yo-yo "diet" by trying to do 1200 cal/day, but once I would fall off of it, it would seem miserable getting started again.0 -

Hi. I'm Emma. I'm 5'1.5", and I've lost almost 55 pounds since mid-June. I started at 220, and am at 166.6, with a goal of 133 or so.
I've lost the weight with portion control and deliberate choices. I still choose ice cream, or a cookie, but I choose them in small portions and (generally) when the calories remaining allow for it.

I'm 4'11 and lost 72.5 pounds a while back (I started at 195 or so). I've gained around 10, but have been able to maintain that weight for years now. I still struggle with food, but feel so much healthier and believe that at some point I will lose that 10 again. (I've been focusing on other things the past few years.) Obviously eating healthy and cardio are super-important, but I also credit weight-lifting for being able to eat as much as I do and still maintain this weight.
Last year I was at 132 on New Years Day and started working out with The Betty Rocker - she advocates clean eating and body resistant workouts and I really liked how she did it. I lost 10 pounds over the course of 6 months then summer comes and with it barbeques and beer and hot, humid weather just makes me swell (and not in a good way).
I have to become more committed to myself and consistent workouts and eliminate evening snacking.

Hi every one, I'm 29yrs and 5"1 and I weigh 174lb. I started 4 weeks ago and have lost 11lb. I'm eating around 1200calories a day, but im trying to stick to my Marcos as apposed to kcals. I also have a massive cheat meal on a sunday evening. I'm concerned after reading previous posts that maybe I'm eating to few calories??
My goal is to reach 130lb by end of July.0 -
Yes 1200 too little, unsustainable. Eat a bit more and do a little more. I'd be wanting 1500 at least at 174 lb.0
