40, 5'6 and gained 10 lbs, now I'm at 146. Those 10 lbs hurt (nothing fits) and I am convinced that I gained it ALL in my stomach. When you have 10 lbs to lose, it's HARD. I do "good" all week, and then ruin it all weekend. Maybe this week...0

Hello ladies of this group,
Yes it is January 1st but that is not the reason that I decided to lose weight. I am on a long journey of trying to find a body weight I am comfortable with. I weight about 140 now and feel just as big as I was when I was close to 170 about three years ago. All through high school and college I would sit around 155-165 pounds. I never counted calories and usually got some exercise but not that much in college. One time I counted calories for a few months and got down to about 143. I felt great! But I just stopped and it all came back and I was at my usual 165 again.
I am just not happy with 140. But, I haven't been trying that hard to get that number lower. I haven't lost any weight in about two months. I really want to work on getting that number lower. I am wondering about you ladies who got down to the healthy and aesthetically pleasing physiques of 115 - 130 (medium height ladies). How do you feel now at 120 compared to your higher weights? What got you to a weight you are happy with?
Anyway, if there are any people that are going to give it another new start in 2014 feel free to add me!

I am 48 5ft and 1/2 I currently weigh 142 which is heavy for me. I carry a lot of my weight in my hips and bottom. My goal is 120-125. My biggest hurdle is eating breakfast in the morning.I have a hard time losing weight mostly because my eating habits are erratic0

Hi. I'm 5' 6" and am maintaining between 118 & 121. I try to get in 3,500 calories burned through exercise each week (variety of cardio, strength, flexibility). I will lose if I have a deficit of 400 or more calories per day. So if I exercise 600 calories burned, then I'll eat up to 1400 calories. 1200 is my no-exercise calorie baseline. Running really does help, but there are so many other ways to lose and tone. Rowing and the elliptical are my other go-to cardio exercises.0

Hi!
It's been quite a while since I've been on MFP and I think I really need to come back. I was down to 132lbs by April last year and am back to 140lbs. There are a few weddings for me to attend this summer and I'd really like to be in the 125lbs range if possible. Starting weights again (in addition to the cadio and yoga) - maybe it will help if I stick with it!0 -
Low carb is the only way I can stay slim and not feel like I'm starving myself0

Hi! I'm 49, 5'5" and am maintaining at about 130. I don't mean to maintain and would like to get down into the 120's but have been sporadic with my cardio. I've been trying the Intermittent Fasting (16/8) and so far it has helped me drop from 32% to 27% body fat (in 70+ days). I do like that but I'm old school and want my weight to go down too...lol.0
