I am 5'4 and 107 I was stuck at 120 for ages even with meticulously counting calories 1,400 and running every day.
So actually after 7 months of being stuck I just stopped running everyday and it actually made me lose.0 -
I'm 5'3 currently 147 on my way to 125 (at least) and gaining some nice muscle tone. Working hard on portion control and overeating by snacking.
I would love to add some of you ladies to keep me motivated0 -

Adding:)0 -
Hmm...I'm 5'4" and tried to GET TO 124/125 to be lean enough for a bulk but couldn't pull it off and gave up. I can't imagine trying to get under that!0

I'm 5' 2" & 116.4 lbs. I was around 120 during the holidays. A year ago January (2015) I was @137. I've kept to my deficit with intermittent fasting (eat my deficit calories during an 8 hr window). It became much easier to stick to, a breeze, actually. Fat has been coming off steadily.
Between what times were you eating? Did you just drink a lot of water during the rest of the day?0 -
I'm so glad to have found this post!0

Yeah same here. I had to stop my 6 day a week routine due to a knee injury. Lost my last five pounds. My trainer claimed that I was wearing out my body - had home stress and was stressing out my body with so much exercise that my cortisol levels may have been high and my body was just holding on to everything. I dunno if that was true, but something fell in line. Until the holidays 2015...that is...0

I know I can't believe it! Its been several years without a problem sticking to more carbs and less exercise! I mean I came from a background where I was training about 6-8 hours a day and incredibly fit!0 -

More likely overestimating running calories burned. Especially if running high mileages per wk.0 -
Water retention to repair muscles? I have noticed whenever I take a break from lifting and then start again, I have an overnight (literally) gain of 4-5 pounds and then the scale will not move for the next 6-8 weeks.0

I have pretty much exactly the same stats :P I have a quite small frame so I'm trying to get down to 110 or so.0

I'm 5'2 currently on 136 trying to get to 120 atleast...what are ur macros? I tend to low carb weekdays then up catbs on weekends. I'm eating 1350 cals but I'm always under except for weekends I net 1500. I do SL 5X5 3x weekly and incline power walk once a week for 40mins.

but I had my calories stuck to 1,200 - 1,300 (cycling) and I weighed everything-1 -
It's so simple. Just eat a small deficit, make sure you're getting 100g + protein and lift to preserve the muscle.
I've under eaten 100 cals a day for 30 odd days and I'm down a pound. In pure fat. I look totally different at 130lb than I do at 132.
When I hit 128lb I'll again look totally different, that will be April.0
