My Success Story!

This is really motivating!!! I am 5'2' and weighing 160lbs. My desired weight is 135lbs. I have been trying to lose weight for a while now but nothing! I guess I have to work extra hard...I dont drink soda, no sugar in my diet, I exercise almost 3 times a week and use my fitness pal for calorie counting. Any advice???

How many calories are you managing a day? All I can really say is work off every calorie that you take in, do exercises that are fun for you! And no processed sugars is a great start, water and tea are definitely my recommendations~ Just keep working harder and eating at your calorie goal and you will definitely see results. Don't worry that it might take a while, I lose weight pretty slowly as well, but that means you gotta work extra hard! Don't give up, you can definitely do it and I can't wait when you finally reach your goal! ;D

Thanks for sharing your story. You look great!!! Also thanks for telling us timeframe of slow and steady
I was at 158 in November I am 5'1"
Today I am at 137
21 pounds in 7 months is much slower then expected
I am logging ALL food
I go gym class 3 x week and supplement with 2 additional workout days
I swim
I am hitting 10,000 steps daily
Process is just slow
At times scale does not move
Very frustrating

I know that feeling, I lose weight really slowly (mostly because I was plateauing for the LONGEST time...). This just means that you have to keep increasing the intensity of your workouts and keep eating and logging your meals as well. Keep going, it's better to lose weight slowly than too fast!
