5'5" here... 125 is hard to cross. While breastfeeding, I had hit a set point around 135. I could eat ANYTHING and not gain an ounce, or lose anything. Now it seems to be 125/126, and getting below is way harder than it should be.0

Thanks all for the input, I won't lie a lot of it is stuff I learnt along the journey and I've also had a week (2 weeks really ) from hell and eaten really badly due to some hormone based issues! So with a week untill my birthday party it's time to shake off this water weight and cake bloat to look hot! Low starch, no eating at work and yummy salad for me!
Are you my twin? My birthday's in a week, and I'm trying to be super good this week so I can look hot for my night out! We've got this

Ha! How's it going for you? I've dropped the 5 lbs of bloat I'd temp gained so that's good, I might be naughty and go crazy low starchy carbs for the next 2 days as it will give me a super flat tummy but I just tried on my new leggings ready for sat and they look awesome so yeah feeling good! X0 -

I saw 124 once on the scale, I was obviously very happy, yeah I've not seen it since! But it's odd it's like mentally, because I've seen it once I know it's possible so have stopped stressing so much about it? Hard to describe!0 -

Dropped 2lbs of water weight almost immediately, but nothing's changed since then. That's ok though, I tried on my dress last night and it's pretty fantastic
Glad everything's looking good for you! Happy almost-birthday, have fun!!0 -

I can really sympathize with this! I am almost 5'4" and stuck at 122 for almost 6 weeks. I'm not sure what happened. The only thing I have (consciously) changed is that I've been lifting heavier than I was. I've been lifting on and off for about three years, but I had to take an almost 6 month break. I started back in April with SL 5x5 and was continuing to lose until last month. That was when my big lifts got up over my body weight and my losses stalled out. Aside from that, I've gone back in my diary and checked my calories against older entries. Nothing. I have tightened up my logging and started weighing things I never weighed before (stoopid bread slices, always heavier than listed!). No change. All I can do is keep trying!0
